Sky by night
Chapter 2
"Stupid whore! That's what you get!"
"For what?" said Mirry "Why should I be apologizing to you? What have I done? Have I offended you in some way? What did I do to make you personally so angry?"
"Stupid girl! Idiot!" said Anita. "I'm only doing this to you to teach you a lesson! If you hadn't defied god's rules then I wouldn't be doing this!"
Mirry lay on the floor, Jetta trapped in the harness behind her, repeated blows thudding into her chest and stomach. Only accepting it because to deserve this she must have done something wrong and fairness was everything to her. "What rules? What have I done?"
"Filthy scum! Sick bitch! Damn whore! Fucking lesbian!"
With every insult a new blow hit Mirry.
Filthy scum hit her in the face. Sick bitch hit her in the stomach. Damn whore hit her chest, but fucking lesbian hit the palm of Mirry's hand.
Mirry closed her fingers around Anita's fist.
"That's it?" Anita could feel the strength in Mirry's hand as it bent her wrist backwards. "That's all it is? Check your fact file sweetie. I'm not a lesbian." Said Mirry as she stood up and forced Anita down to her knees.
"And where in the bible does it say to kill anyone gay?"
"Leviticus" gasped Anita in pain. As soon as she said it she heard and felt the bones in her fingers starting to break as they were crushed beneath Mirry's fingers.
Mirry laughed. "Stupid whore everyone knows Leviticus is bullshit." She said as she crushed Anita's hand, and quickly twisted her wrist. A satisfying snap was just about audible above Anita's scream.
"Please Mirry" whispered Jetta "We could be quick?"
"Not this time darling." Replied Mirry.
She dropped Anita's hand and watched satisfied as she crumpled to the floor.
"Why did you lie there and take it if it was that easy to get up?" Anita cried from the floor
"Because I thought I must have done something to deserve it. And if you deserve a punishment you take it, but that wasn't punishment it was just your way of getting out your frustration on me because you can't bare anyone to be too different."
Mirry turned and gathered up the dark glasses that had been slapped off her, and put them back on to her face. Then she put on the mask.
She heard Anita gasp through her tears, audible shock.
"You're her?!? Fog screen?" asked Anita
"Stupid girl, it's Smokescreen and that's just the media's name for me. I much prefer haze. My closer friends call me that. Oh but you'll never remember this."
She touched Anita's forehead. Anita's eyes became glazed and a blank expression crossed her face. Mirry began to speak. Slowly, rhythmically she said "Tonight you did not see Mirry carter. Mirry carter is not Smokescreen. Smokescreen should be referred to as haze. Tonight you crushed your hand by falling with your arm outstretched at which point a yellow cab drove over your hand." She slowly removed her finger from Anita's forehead, then thinking better of it she put her finger back on her forehead "And Leviticus is all bullshit, so is most of the bible" and with that she turned and walked away.
"Silly bitch" whispered Jetta. "What a stupid little girl, maybe she'll know better next time."
