The Killing Mime

Chapter 29: Gang Ball

Mins POV

"Tsk tsk," I shake my head.

"Is that any way to treat your guest?" Rica ask putting a hand on my hip.

"And who might you be, young lady?" What I'm guessing is the host, asks from the spiral stairs he's descending from.

"Ah, but she's one of your honored guest of course! Who else may I ask?" Rica say in a friendly tone.

"An enemy, that is who. Now, who, I will ask once more, are you?" He asks, still directing his questions towards me, now making his way through the sea of people.

"Miss Oops, is that a problem, sir?" She asks as I tilt my head slightly to the side.

"Oh yes, you're the newest gang! What a pleasure to meet you Miss Oops, how is the ball so far?" He asks chuckling a little.

"It would be better if there weren't any guns pointed directly at her, sir. Or is that how you treat all your guest?" Duke asks.

"Pardon for that miss," he waves a hand and the guards put their guns away, most are giving me glares, "it's just that you did not come in the way the other guest have come."

"Well she does love making an entrance and being unique," Rica states causing me to lightly laugh.

"Interesting, who are your friends?"

"This is -A Battery, Lion, Dukes and Duchess, Lickdy Split and his twin Reality, Air, Quiet, and Rich." I point to each of my friends as Rica or 'Rich' announces their name.

"Yes, well glad you could make it. Hope you enjoy the ball." With that he bows and walks away to join a lady who hooks her arm around his.

"Did you guys notice how he didn't say 'I' hope to or that he himself isn't glad to see us? Or was it just me?" I turn to my friends who shrug their shoulders. "Well for once let's do what an adult told us to do!" I laugh and walk towards the refreshment table and pour myself a glass of wine.

We sit at a table near a corner that gives us a perfect view of the whole room and staircase. Air is almost immediately asked to dance with some kid and whisked off to the dance floor. Of course we keep a close eye on her and the boy but we also look around at the faces of gangs. Imagine, some of the biggest gangs are here, in this very room, just sitting and chatting with one another. If we wanted to, we could've planned a surprise attack and have everyone in this room wrapped around our finger.

A light giggle escapes my lips but I quickly clamp my mouth shut. No, you have to play nice tonight. Of course that never really got anyone anywhere in life but it's a good disguise for right now.

I smile softly at the thought of it but immediately frown as someone approaches our table who isn't Air coming back from her dance. He's accompanied by two more men flanked by his side. He stops in front of me and clears his throat to make that sure all attention is on him, some tables around us go quiet and eavesdrop on our conversation.

"I give you the honor and join me for a dance, along with your friends and mine." He holds out his hand expecting me to actually take it.

Who the hell does he think he is to come up to me and say shit like that?

I smile and take a sip of wine, "How about you do yourself an honor and walk away." Lion says reading my mind.

He ignores Lion and forces a laugh, "Just one dance doll."

"How about no, so leave." Lion says as I go back to sipping my wine.

His left eye twitches a bit but he still continues, "How about yes." His voice stern and dangerous.

"So now the facade is replaced with the real creature! I gotta say both a them may be attractive but their attitude is quite horrendous." I speak for myself this time, fed up with his childish behavior.

"Listen here bitch, you, or anyone else for that matter, does not disrespect me! Learn your place here soon so you don't get killed."

"First I'm doll and now I'm a bitch. So which am I: a bitch or a doll? I never really did like dolls and I am a bitch...," I put my hand under my chin.

He opens and closes his mouth before narrowing his eyes and grabbing my arm, not gently either. He yanks me out of my chair and tries to pull me up the spiral staircase but I dig my heel into the carpet and yank my arm out of his grip.

"Listen here and listen good, you do NOT grab me or touch me at all. You better learn YOUR place because I sure as hell will put you there! If I ever, and I mean EVER, see you man-handle a girl again you will regret it." With that said I turn away and go back to our table.

"Both of us could teach each other a thing or two, doll!" He shouts out to me.

"Oh yeah? If we do then one of us won't come back alive, and I don't plan on dying anytime soon." I sit down at our table and rub my temples. "What?!" I hiss at the people around us who quickly turn around in their seats.

"I guess that guy didn't make a good impression." I hear Dukes and Duchesses snicker.

"If I ever see that guy on the streets he'll wish he never met me tonight." I growl out, he holds his hands up and smiles nodding his head towards something behind me, or more like someone behind me.

"The first guy didn't have much luck so how about me?" I silently glare at Dukes and Duchesses and turn around at the voice. My eyes widen at the guy standing in front of me.

Whips.

Here. At the Gang Ball?
