Hooking The Runner

Chapter 7

It's been a week since I last seen Harry. I've become friends with Dizzy, the young girl working in Curl Up and Dye. She's a sweet girl, too innocent to live in a place like this. I've been allowed to stay with her, for no cost. In return, I help Dizzy clean up.

Dizzy is a talented girl. She dyed my hair to black, with blue highlights. She also helped me steal some clothes. I have a pair of blue leather pants with a black tank top and dark blue, sleeveless leather jacket.

"Hey Makayla," Dizzy greets, as she walks down the stairs to the saloon.

I nod, acknowledging her presence, before going back to cleaning. Once I clean, I am going out to get some food and explore the island. Surprisingly, I haven't explored the island yet, despite being given the chance. I guess it just doesn't seem fun, because I'm allowed to do it.

As I clean, I hear someone enter the room. I don't pay much mind, as Dizzy deals with the customers. Well, I didn't pay attention until I heard, "Fork it over, ya little runt."

"Hook boy, get the fuck away from here. I don't feel like dealing with your shit." I say to him. I'm still ticked off that he shoved me off a plank. Who even uses planks anymore? If you want to kill someone, you shoot them.

"Makayla, what a surprise. Staying with this runt?"

"This 'runt' provides better company than you. She isn't going to throw me off a plank for some girl who doesn't give a damn about you," I say. This triggered something in Harry, and he pulls out his sword.

"Ya know, I could hurt ya right now," he says, threateningly.

I laugh at his threat. He was not gonna hurt me. "Go ahead. I have nothing here. I'm just a lost girl trying to find a way home. And I know you won't hurt me, otherwise you would have let me drown."

"Ya think I won't? Just because I didn't let you drown, doesn't mean I won't hurt ya."

"How about you put the sword down and we take this outside? See if you even can hurt me without a sword."

"Fine. Let's go do that," hook boy agrees.

The two of us go away from the shop into the rain, with Dizzy arguing against it. We walk a while away, before we find a good spot. Harry goes for a punch, and I duck under him, and kick him foot. He falls to the ground, but hooks (A/N- get it, Hooks her leg. Oml im too cringey. Good bye 😂) my leg with his arm. I fall to the ground, and get on top of him. I go for a punch but he grabs my hand and flips on top of me and goes for a punch, but stops right in front of my face.

"Ya need to learn how to fight better. Mouth like yours, and you'll keep getting into fights. Get your arse kicked fighting like you do," Harry says. He gets up, and offers me a hand. "I can teach ya how to fight, 'long as ya relax a tad."

"My fighting is just fine. I'm just out of practice. Was in the hospital before I crashed here," I say. I haven't had a good fight since a week before that, where Nick was bored and wanted to fight me. We were both equally banged up and called it a draw. Hell of a fight, and we didn't even have a good reason for it besides being bored.

"I can teach ya how to sword fight too," Hook boy offers. Sword fight is always something I wanted to learn.

"Okay, I've always wanted to learn how to do that. When shall we start?" I ask.

Before I get an answer, a sword swings at me. I stumble backwards, before a another swing comes. "Harry, what the fuck. Chill your balls and throw me a sword."

He listens to my request, and throws a sword at me. I catch it with ease, and begin to fight with him. I swing at him, and he blocks me with ease. He blocks all of my swings, making me get frustrated. I hate how easily he dodges my hits. Finally, I decide to run to a wall, and flip behind him. Once I am behind him, I attempt to put the sword to his shoulder, like he had to me when we met, but he easily turns, grips my arm, trips me, takes the sword, and walks off.

"Ya gotta be quicker than that," he says, as he leaves me on the wet ground, all alone.

"Fuck you Hook boy!" I shout out to him.

With a chuckle, he yells back , "I know you want too," before vanishing.

I lay on the ground, letting the rain hit me. I cannot believe I lost two fights today, one of those fights being a fist fight.
