Chapter 7

The satisfying sound of fresh boots walked up the halls. It's been almost a week since I've been here. Nobody has mentioned anything concerning my trial in court. I've just simply been tossed in a cage because I was living. According to statistics there's more people in the United States living in jail than at home. It's not a surprise they want to drag me back to hell again.

         Ever since the first day I slept over, my roommate has been one hell of a character. Everything about her was annoying, her accent, expressions, heavy breathing, hell even her presence was an absolute pestilence. To put more icing on the cake she thinks just because she's been in jail for over two years she can dictate how I must live my life. Although, she was sent to jail for drug dealing, she's as puny and petty as they come. She's a flake, all I need to do is just flick her away.

          They had sent us to the court yard, shoving us with the other 'monstrous' females. Loud bickering filled the room. I sat back and smirked to myself at how childish these women seem. My roommate had gone off with her 'friends' to speak about something. "Aye bitch!" Some lady yelled from the back. She looked like a man with two long blonde braids. The lace front, was already starting to wear off from the front. "You bitch" she said pointing to me. I showed no emotion in my face and I didn't flinch not one bit. Tattoos covered her fair skin. "Who the fuck do you think you are" she stated with a thick New York accent. She tried to lay her finger on my face and I quickly snatched it away. "What, I can't touch your pretty face? You afraid it's gonna get all scratched up?" She said getting closer in my face. In my peripheral I could see her pull out a blade. Suddenly, my roommate came out of nowhere shoving her to the ground. No fear. Before I could sigh, blood splashed before my eyes. The loud thud of my roommates body, laid there lifeless. Fresh red blood painted the floor. A moment of silence struck the animals of the zoo. The bickering increased, while some girl came rushing to her body. She hollered and balled her eyes out with her body in her hands. One man is born, while another drops dead. I got up from my seat and walked to a neglected corner. She was annoying anyways. The same lady that had killed her, walked towards me with those demonizing eyes. "That's why you don't make friends in here" she said sizing me up with her blade. I've been cornered too many times to know how this story ends. I dug my hands in my pocket reaching for my utensils. "What you gonna do? Kill me?" She said getting in my face. Swiftly I stabbed her in those same eyes. Screaming for mercy, I continuously stabbed her finishing her off with her own blade. Now I have a reason to be here, but they would never know. I pulled out my utensil, wiping it down with a napkin. I shoved it in the dirtiest garbage. They won't look there anyways.I looked down at my uniform checking if there was any sign of blood. Thank god she's not a squirter. Lord forgive me for my sins and lay this body to rest.

           I waited by the gate to return to my cell. Guards ran in taking several dead bodies. Hours had passed while I waited in my cell. "Williams" an officer yelled. I looked up towards him waiting for him to speak. "You're free" he said unlocking my cage. It took them a whole week to figure out that I'm in here for no reason. I walked with him, passing all the deranged monkeys which dominated this zoo. Passing through security, I changed my clothes remembering the knife I had left in the garbage. They'll never know.

            I took in a fresh breath of air as I walked out the penitentiary. I called an uber home, enjoying the ride back. Opening my front door, the fresh smell of coffee and Cuban bread filled the house. "Reign?" I yelled. "Karhé!" she responded coming out of her room. "Where the hell were you?" I asked upset. "Where the hell were you?" She said folding her arms. "Why is there a scratch on your forehead" I said heated. She released a sigh taking a bite of her bread. She stared at me seriously, rising concern. "They're back" she said upset. "What?" I was already morbidly infuriated. "Where were you though? I've been looking for you?". "I was in jail" I said dryly. "Don't be giving me attitude" she added. "They touched you Reign how the fuck am I not supposed to be upset" I said starting to yell. "Don't worry about it, I'll explain it fully after you shower because you smell disgusting" she said screwing up her face.

Unsettled dispute is never finished
