Penguin's Majesty

3. Tea Time part 2?!

I began the walk to my mansion. However I decided that tonight I would be someone different, someone who wasn't afraid to think outside of the box. Someone who took risks, someone who wouldn't be confined to a cage under lock and key. I took off my heels and ran, not knowing where I was going. I bumped into a few people but I didn't care. I was focused on my destination. Where? Anywhere my feet would take me.

Suddenly I came to see a sign saying "Mooney's" with a neon fish beside it.

"Mooney's? Well I suppose everyone has to start somewhere." I muttered as I walked to the entrance.

"You're not allowed here!" Said a thick burly man standing in the doorway.

"And who are you to stop me?"

"Listen girly, this ain't no place for a little girl like yourself!"

"IM. SICK. AND. TIRED. OF .PEOPLE TELLING. ME. WHAT. I. CAN. AND. CANNOT. DO!" I yelled marching up to him step by step.

"No need to throw a tantrum girly just walk away and we won't have any problems!" Said the man.

I mocked him. "Oh yeah? Well I have a problem! YOU! You are the problem!" I punched him square in the jaw, knees him in the groin, and while he was on his knees I used my heel and stabbed him in the neck. Blood spattered on my dress as I stood there in shock. My thoughts consumed me.

I snapped out of it, and stepped inside. As soon as I step in, the smell of smoke and booze hits my nose. The music and chatter fills my ears. And the eyes of a particular woman meet mine.

A woman known as Fish Mooney stared at me as I made my way over and sat in the booth across from her.

"What's a girl like you doing in a place like this?"

"I need a change of scenery. Seemed like a good place to start."

"Start what?"

"A new me."

"A new you?"

I nodded.

"So tell me what's your story?" Fish said, putting out her cigarette and taking a sip of her wine.
