Running with Revenge

𝓸𝓷𝔃𝓮

"In front of death,

We are all powerless."

She sits in the car, posture like a barbie doll. Her imperfections were covered and her scars were hidden by her smile. Every part of her soul wanted to bound out of the car but she stayed. Only for Bee. The door opens to the restaurant and she walks out with Val holding her hand. How she wished that it was Jonah instead. Both of them sat in a booth, across a lady who looked like a strict ballet teacher and a man whose facial features portrayed businessmen.

"Are you Lace Reigne?" The lady asks, Lace's head nods and the man smiles giving Val a quick wink. Judy and Max sit down next to the couple and Lace can't help noticing how similar both men looked.

"Can I get your order?" A young man, Carter, his name tag read, asked the group for his order. Everyone ordered wine except for Lace, who was stuttering because Carter was looking below her neck,into the crevice of her dress.

"She wants coke, right princess?" Val's tone switches from harsh to soft as Lace nods in fear.Val's hands draw circles on top of her dress, trying to comfort her.

"Good job Val. Looks like you picked an obedient one. Did you have to go through any trouble?" The man asks as the ladies silently chatter about clothing and fashion. Sometimes, including Lace in the conversation, who just gave opinions.

"Yes uncle. I had to go through just the slightest bit of trouble to get my sugar doll." The sickly sweet tone that rolled off Val's lips showed just how much trouble he went through.That comment seemed to catch the attention of the two ladies.

"Didn't you have to kill a girl to get to her though?" The older lady chirped. All heads snapped to her, glaring as if she wasn't supposed to say a word. Lace panics, how would she react to this? How would a normal person react to this? She lets out all her feelings as she looks toward Val who was looking at her, praying that she didn't hear. Unfortunately she did and Lace starts to sign,

"You did what? Did you really kill my best friend just to get with me! I can't believe it." She breaks down in tears as the whole group stares,not knowing what to do.

"We're leaving. NOW!" Val screams as the adults move but Lace doesn't. Val changes his tone to a honey sweet one,grabbing Lace's wrists as she tries to push him off,

"Princess come on. Don't make a scene. I have chocolate, candy, and other goodies for you at my house okay? We'll make sure that you're happy and you'll forget about this.Hmmm?" He lifts her up and carries her out of the restaurant.
