WARNING: attempted drugging and attempted sexual assault!
I don't like this.
You never do.
There was a glowing neon sign in the distance that read "Easy E's." And under that was the sign from when it was an auto shop. Why would you want a drink from the same place where the bartender probably had his hands under the hood of your car?
Riya shook her head, Why do the girls want to meet here? This place is shit.
We could always leave, Aya suggested quickly. Tell them that your parents wouldn't let you go.
Riya laughed, And make me look like a loser?
Like hell she'd go home. She didn't sneak out for nothing. Not like it was hard anyway, she'd been dodging her body guards since she was 10.
Riya was wearing her favorite dress; the short, black, body-hugging one. She wore black stockings, and matching boots. On her left hand, she wore a black, fingerless glove with the number three printed on it in white. Around her neck she wore a black choker with three pastel pink Xs on it.
Three was Riya's favorite number. Because it's half of six. She once wrote "333 Only Half Evil" in one of her journals. And it was true. She was half fairy and half demon. But to her family (well, her father's family) she was all evil.
At least tonight Riya finally had an excuse to use the Bombshell Eyeshadow Palette she stole from her sister's room. Selene never used it anyway.
Riya liked the way she looked in her bedroom mirror, like someone with attitude, someone in control of her life. Someone who said "Fuck you, I do what I want." Riya was dressed like the girls that Jasmine, her stepmother, hated. Jasmine would call her "easy." Selene and her friends would just call her a "slut" despite the fact that they dressed the same way to get into bars.Or maybe Jasmine would hate it because tonight Riya embraced her other half... a succubus. Like the woman her father met one night in a bar. And Riya was the result of that meeting.
Riya dressed like a woman with her own life. Then she sighed when she remembered that there was no way her parents, specifically Jasmine, would let her leave home. Even if she was old enough.
Meanwhile Selene, "the good sister," would have no problem convincing her mommy to let her go to college on Earth. And obviously mommy would buy her daughter anything she wants.
Dad would go with whatever didn't get him yelled at by his wife. That's what happens when you cheat. You have to let them treat the "bastard" however they want. It's only fair, right?
Before Riya stepped in, Aya reminded her about what happened the last time she snuck out.
I already get in trouble for breathing, Riya responded. That bitch can get bent.
