Bloody Mary

Chapter Six

 "Shit," Ray curses quickly grabbing Laura and pressing her against the brick wall. Lydia curiously looks around the corner.

"Fuck me," Lydia sighs seeing Aslan's dead body on the ground, his blood pour from his head and onto the pavement. "Pity, I liked the kid," Lydia sighs sharing a look with her husband.

"Lads," Ray calls out gaining the younger boys attention. "We're gonna need those phones," He tells them hoping this would go smoothing. Of course, it doesn't. The three boys instantly split up. Bunny and Dave instantly split up taking one kid each. "Fucking clean that up!" Ray orders Frazier while running after the third kid.

"Lovely, Laura," Lydia smiles petting her the girls hair as a mother would a daughter. "Get in the car and stay in the car," Laura nods. Lydia winks at her causing the young girl to grin. Without a second thought, Lydia is chasing after Bunny and the kid he ran after.

Despite her injuries she received throughout her life, she still could hold her own in a race. She grins as she finds herself catching up with Bunny without so much as breaking as sweat. Memories of her high school life, racing after schools in hopes of a scholarship, came back to mind.

"Go get the car, Bunny, I can handle this fucker" Lydia says slowing her pace for only a moment before surpassing the broad man. Bunny comes to a stop breathing heavily. While the man is extremely strong, he isn't known for his speed. "I'm going to give you one chance to hand me the phone, kid! Or you're going to get your ass handed to you by a lady! Don't think that's going to earn you a good rep among your friends!" Lydia shouts to the kid, who obviously didn't believe her, and continued to run. "I do love the ones that play hard to get," Lydia grins to herself as she kicks it up into gear.

As she runs, she briefly thinks of her track coach. She thought about how hard he tried to get her out of her family, out of the neighborhood she lived in. This train of thought only leads her deeper into her past, a past she'd rather not remember.

The distance between her and the teen boy begins to shrink faster than the kid would like to admit. Sooner rather than later the kid is within reaching distance. Lydia grabs the hood of his jacket and yanks him back causing them to come to an abrupt stop.

The kid yells out as she slams him against the nearest building. Before he could do anything, she slams her fist into his jaw. He stumbles to the side groaning.

She hadn't meant to hit him, all she wanted to do was get his phone. She might have had to scare him but she didn't have to beat him up. However, she felt slightly out of control of her actions. Chasing someone down, visiting that apartment, it was all too familiar to her.

 A moment later, Lydia straightens him up and uppercuts his abdomen. Flashes of her mother's boyfriend cross her mind only angering her further. The kid coughs, hunching over. She smirks devilishly as she watches him rest his hand on his knee and lean against the wall in pain. Bringing her knee up, she breaks his nose. 

The kid cries out falling to the ground. She smirks looking at him as he bleeds in front of her. Crouching down, she slithers her fingers through his hair, she grips it and slams his head back into the wall.

"It's not nice to make a lady run across town," She growls in his ear. "Give me the phone, now" She says sternly. Shakily, he reaches into his pocket and hands it to her. "Good boy," She whispers kissing his cheek before letting him go and standing up. The kid groans sliding down the wall and to the ground as a large black car pulls up behind her.

"Love?" Ray asks climbing out of the car. She turns to him and holds the phone up. He smiles taking the device before looking at the kid sitting on the ground. His eyes darken and snap back to her.
