"So, you're telling me that some of our gang is still at the headquarters!" I asked Sean.

"They think you're dead and so you might come as a shock to them Bea." He carefully told me.

This could be good. If I had some of my gang member's by my side, getting Kacey back and getting rid of Jimmy would be pretty easy. Even if some of my gang members were still there, they had no importance without their gang leader, who they thought was dead.

It was currently 6am and I had to get ready for this eventful day ahead of me. I sighed, hanging up the phone and walking towards the bathroom. I splashed my face with water, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I smirked and whispered, "The Queen is back."

I took a shower and opened my closet. As I walked deeper into my walk in closet to the place where I kept the clothes I used to wear. I pulled out my ripped black jeans, my black tank top, and of course, my leather jacket. I put my nose into the sleeve and instantly felt at home.

I did my smoky eye and winged eyeliner like I used to every time our gang went to a fight with another. I put on my gloves with finger pockets, the ones that hurt the worst if you were to be punched by them. Last of all, I pulled out a key from my leather jacket and opened up a chest with my initials on it. I opened it and grinned. A gold gun graced my eyes. "Hey baby, long time no see," I whispered to it.

In the chest, the rest of my weapons lied. The ones I'd earned from the gang, stolen on my many adventures, or given to by my brother. Pocket knives, guns, blades, and even a dagger lied in
the chest. I put my gun into a pocket on the inside of my leather jacket and the pocket knife into my butt pocket.

I looked at myself in the mirror and smirked. Showtime.

                                                                                         ~~~~~

"I said no, what part of n-o do you not understand Jack!!" I yelled. Currently my time was being wasted because Jack and Kaleb were arguing to come with us.

"She's my fucking sister!" Kaleb snapped at me.

This left me speechless for a second. "Fine, but you boys are going to have to learn to fight in a day, we can't have you getting killed." I walked out the door, leaving them shocked that I had said yes.

The car ride was silent, and before I knew it, we were there. Home.

I smirked, looking up at the black two story house that I had practically grown up in. I was the first to get out of the car. I started walking towards the door, with a deadly look on my face.

"Bea, be careful." Sean told me. Four steps ahead. I thought while smirking.

I chuckled to myself and knocked on the door, five knocks in the perfect tune.

The door opened and the smell of leather and smoke filled my nose. Zach.

I smirked, "Miss me sweetheart?" I said, mocking what he used to call me. His eyes widened, I could tell that he was shocked to see me there. "Karma?" He said, his voice softer than usual. "In the flesh" I said, putting my hands up in a cocky motion. He moved out of the way, still shocked.

I walked inside like I owned the place, which I practically did. Everyone stopped moving and looked towards me.

They all stood, nobody saying anything. A short, bulky woman was brave enough to walk up to me. I remembered her very clearly. "Karma, is that really you?" She asked, reaching out to touch my cheek.

"Yes, it's me." I answered her slowly. She was the mother of the gang, the eldest woman here, who took good care of everyone. Her eyes widened and she bent down as to say, 'the gang leader is back.'

Everyone behind her did the same thing, gracing my presence. I put my hand out and told Martha to get up. She had tears in her eyes. "I thought you were dead, Karma." She whispered. I motioned for everyone to sit down as I stood in front of everyone's shocked faces with Sean, Jack, and Kaleb.

I started with what I had been practicing for so long now. "I know you all thought I was dead, and that the gang was left leaderless." "But the thing is, that night, I was wearing a bulletproof vest, which saved me from dying." "I was a seventeen, I wasn't capable of running a gang, and I had been making this plan since so long before." "I was going to fake my death and run away, only Sean knew about my plan." "My brother led the gang so well, I knew that I couldn't do it like he did." Everyone looked glum at the mention of my late brother, as he was their gang leader once.

"I couldn't just pass the gang on, that would be a disgrace to my family name." "I'm sorry I left you guys without a leader for so long, but I had no other choice." "So I am asking you all now, to forgive me and accept your gang leader back with open arms." "Will you do that for me?" I asked, waiting for them to give me a sign.

Martha stepped up to where I was standing and asked, "We haven't got many people because of the war, but will you accept who we have, back into your gang?" I smiled a small smile, and said, "Yes, I do."

Everyone cheered and at that moment I knew, I was ready, I was ready to take back what was mine.

                                                                                     ~~~~~

In the next week, I had met all of my gang members and was starting to build the relationship that I had with them before. They knew about Jimmy and were ready to go fight him since he was who we lost most of our gang to.

Jack and Kaleb were both getting along with most of the gang, especially the girls. They were learning how to use guns, and working on their fighting skills. I walked past the gym where they were currently getting boxing lessons from Mark (Big Bear) we called him. Kaleb looked over to me and waved with a cheeky smile on his face, and since he wasn't paying attention, that resulted in him getting punched in the stomach by Bear. I chuckled, shaking my head at that boy's immaturity. I kept walking, onto one of the rooms next to the gym.

I walked in, and was engulfed with comfort at the way it smelled. It was my brother's room. I walked across the room, looking around at everything, from the car posters, to the photo frames. I picked up one of the frames, it was a picture of the old gang. I was standing next to my brother with a big smile on my face, with no worries in the world. It was a real smile, it went all the way up to my eyes. I sat down on his bed, looking all around the room with a sad smile on my face.

"I lost him too you know, that night." I heard a voice coming from the door. I turned and Zach was standing there, with a sad smile matching mine. Zach's brother was my brother's best friend who had also died that night. I walked over to Zach and hugged him. "I wish Jimmy didn't even exist." I whispered. He hugged me back and answered, "We all lost people that night, and now we're going to get revenge for everyone we lost." "Two more days, Karma, and he will be dead, I promise."

                                                                                           I hope so.
