The Cleaner's Daughter and The Assassin's Son

Girl at the mall

song: Sticks and Stones by the Pierces

Scarlett POV:

Christmas is coming up and Meagan has been begging to go shopping with me. Her parents are letting her out again as long as she has someone with her. We head to the mall. I let her drive because she needs all the practice she can get and I pray silently to myself that she won't dint the Mustang.

We shop for hours and decide to stop for a bite to eat.

"This is so much fun; I'm so glad you are my sister you're amazing." She beams.

"Awe, so are you. It's nice hanging out with you."

"Do you want Chinese or if not I love the Cheesecake Factory?"

"Either sounds good right about now; how about you pick?" I tell her.

We end up at the Cheesecake Factory and share a turtle cheesecake after our lunch. Then we go back shopping. I bought Mekhi a few things for Christmas along with Zane, and the rest of the crew back home. I even bought her parents something but not her because I can't let her see it of course.

This random girl walks by and bumps into us causing us to drop a few of our bags. She doesn't even bother saying excuse me or that she is sorry. Meagan gets pissed off. "What a bitch."

"Yeah!" I agreed with her as we pick up our bags and start walking again.

We go to VS and Meagan starts blushing. I just smile at her and wrinkle my nose.

"You can't be serious; you are really going to try that on?"

"Why not?" I shrug and take it back to the dressing room to try it on and of course fall in love with it so I get it.

We walk out to the car to throw the bags in the trunk and then head back towards the mall.

"Hey you feel like a smoothie?" I ask her. Of course she is up for one. We grab two smoothies and sit outside at the round table.

The girl from earlier is lingering nearby.

"Meagan can I ask you something?"

"Sure Scarlett, what is it?"

"That girl over there do you happen to know her?" I gesture towards the girl.

"No, but I've noticed her a lot today. She is the one that bumped into us earlier."

"Yeah I thought that was her. I wonder who the hell she is."

So I do what any other girl would do, I call her out. "Hey do you know us or something or do you just like staring. What is it?"

She turns and looks at me like she can't believe I called her out. I thought she was going to get up to walk away but she does the complete opposite she comes over to our table.

"I don't know what he sees in you?" she stares right at me.

"Who?" I ask, because I have never seen this girl before in my life.

"Mekhi, why you? He doesn't even like red heads and you don't even wear his charm."

"Why would I wear a charm when I have this?" I hold up my wedding ring for her to see.

"Because of you he left me; I have nothing. You ruined my life."

Meagan looks at her and then back at me, waiting for a girl fight.

"First of all I don't even know who you are. I assume you were one of the subs and you can support yourself you don't need Mekhi to do it. If you can't support yourself then you should find a man that can but leave mine alone."

"That's just it; I want Mekhi he was mine way before he was ever yours."

"Well as you can see he is mine. I have the ring and a wedding certificate to prove he is mine. Would you like to take this somewhere else?"

She pulls out a gun and I hear Meagan gasp and look back over at me with wide scared eyes.

"Look you really don't want to shoot me here in front of everyone. You will be seen by all these people, probably go to prison and be someone's bitch and so on. So let's go around back of the store away from everyone and then if you want to shoot me then at least no one will see."

I stand up and start walking. Meagan stands to follow me. "Stay here..understand."

She shakes her head. She looks so fragile like she is about to burst in tears. I already know the moment I leave she will be on the phone with Mekhi.

We walk around the back and she continues to wave the gun at me.

"Can I ask you something; why do you need Mekhi there are so many other men out there willing to be your Master."

"Because he is mine. He is the only one that ever cared about me and you had to come along and fuck all of it up."

"But he beat you with a whip and whatever else he did to you. He hurt you and you still want him."

"I will do anything for him?"

"Anything, you know the last girl that said that died."

"Yeah sure whatever you're just trying to scare me." She holds the gun up higher pointing more towards me.

I kick it out of her hand and it goes flying up under the dumpster. "Now that's out of the way let's do this. How about I let you hit me first. Come on you know you want to. Matter of fact I will let you hit me twice for taking him away from you."

"Two times!" she says. She gives it her all and hits me open handed right across the cheek.

"That's one." I say.

Then she comes back and uses her fist hitting my nose enough to make blood come out. I don't move.

"That's two." I smile.

"You're crazy what does he see in you?" she ask me.

"Maybe he likes crazy ass girls, my turn."

I hit her full force right against her jaw, blood flies out along with a tooth. She stumbles. I hit her again this time she falls to the ground. I straddle her and pull her up by her shirt and I see the choker with the letter 'm' hanging. However it's not the same as the others. This one has red rubies instead of diamonds. I hit her in her eye and it immediately puffs up. I jerk it off of her and then pull her up by her hair. She is screaming.

"Shut the fuck up bitch; remember you asked for this shit."

I hear him calling my name it takes me a minute to look over at him. I'm still holding her by her hair.

"Scarlett, stop." He tells me again.

I see Meagan standing behind him in shock so I release the girls' hair. She falls all the way to the ground. I glare at him. "You're little sub came looking for you."

"She's not my sub." He voice so subtle.

"Well she says otherwise; you take care of this shit or I will."

"I don't think she will cause any more trouble."

"You're right she won't." I reach down and snap her neck as I let go she sinks down to the pavement. "Now you can deal with this shit." I walk past him and Meagan.

I hear him on the phone calling Zane to come get the body. By the time I get to the car Meagan is right behind me. "Holy shit Scarlett did you just kill that girl?"

I don't say anything.

"OMG you are such a badass."
