Chapter 1 (Oh Deer!)
“Lexa!! wake up its time to get ready for school!’
I groaned and turned over. Not wanting to expose my eyes to the sunlight seeping through the curtain. After about five minutes of just thinking about the day ahead, not wanting it to start yet, I finally got out of bed. I put on some black and red leggings and threw on a sports bra along with a big T-shirt with decorative holes in it. I bushed and put my long white hair into a ponytail to keep it out of my face
Now when say my hair is White, I don’t mean like a blondish white, of a bleached colored white, I mean white, like snow white.
And with that I headed downstairs.
“What’s cooking mum?’ I asked as I smelled the air.
“bacon, eggs and toast.”
Mmmmm how I loved bacon. I liked mine extra cooked so that way it’s all crispy.
I grabbed a plate and a fork. And scooped out some eggs, grabbed the toast from the toaster and then some bacon from the pan. I sat in my chair and scarfed it down. If you watched me eat it would have looked like I haven’t even chewed.
“slow down there girly. Or you’ll get a stomachache later.”
I wasn’t even listening to what she said it went in one ear and out the other missing my brain altogether.
I finished my food and went to get my backpack form the front door. I loved my backpack it had a hellhound on the front of it. I loved hellhounds. Not like I warship the devil or anything I just like hellhounds they are so cool. If only they were real.
As I walked down the street, I saw some of the jerks from my school. Sadly, I knew them all because they all used to pick on me. When I say “used to" , I mean they still do.
The tallest one at about 6’5 foot with blond hair was named kilo. He was the leader of the jack ass club. The second tallest standing at about 6’ foot was Aden he had reddish hair and just did whatever Kilo told him to do. And the shortest. Well shortest between Kilo and Aden he was still taller than me but not by much I’m 5’5. His name was Mat he was about 5’7 his hair was a dirty blond.
As they ran by, I noticed the baby deer they were chasing and by the blood trail it left as it ran I could tell it was injured.
I ran after them and saw they had the baby deer trapped between a trash bin and a house. Anger boiled inside of me as they started to throw sticks and large rocks at it. I marched up and yelled.
“WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!” My face was probably red with anger by now.
All three boys looked up at me and of course Kilo spoke first.
“Were having some fun now get lost you ugly ass freak.” his words didn’t hurt because I was used to him talking shit like that, but it didn’t make me any less mad that’s for sure.
They turned away and continued to throw rocks and stuff at the poor deer. I didn’t even have anything to say so I just marched right up to Kilo. He turned to look at me before smirking. Without missing a beat, I grabbed him by his hair making sure I had a good fistful before I brought his face down my knee meeting his face half way. I heard a loud crack. When he raised his head his eyes wide with shock as he covered his bloody nose and mouth. I gave him the same smirk he had just given me.
Then I yelled right in his face “SO HOW DOES IT FEEL HUH?”
His eyes were still filled with shock, but they were quickly replaced with outrage. He lowered his hand from his face and balled them into fists. I had anticipated his move from a mile away, as he swung his left fist and I ducked. I then stood up and punched him in the face 2 times in a row. I hit him good to. He was bleeding twice as much now. I looked at my hands and saw them covered in blood. For some reason the sight of Kilos blood on my hands made me feel even stronger. I smiled and punched him in the gut. He went from almost falling backwards from my first 2 face punches to doubling over kneeling on the ground clutching his stomach. I then brought both fists down onto his head knocking him completely unconscious. By this point Aden and Mat were behind me pulling me back before I could do any more damage.
“’THAT WAS FOR 8 YEARS OF YOUR BULL SHIT!! 8 FUCKING YEARS” I yelled even though I knew he was unconscious and could not hear a single word I was saying.
I didn’t fight against Aden and Mats grip. They let me go and ran over to Kilo. I hadn’t just beat up Kilo for abusing a deer. Sure, that’s what pushed me over the edge. But all of that was payback for 8 years of his bull shit, 8 years of him trying to ruin my life, 8 years of him telling me to go jump of a bridge or slit me wrists. And I finally made him pay.
I looked to see the deer was laying down. I walked over to it and I pulled out a bottle from my bookbag and pored a few drops onto it leg. Within moments of me doing this the deer jumped up and bounded off into the nearby woods. I had learned this little potion from my mom years back before she passed away and boy did it came in handy. I smiled and went on my way to school. Knowing I was already late. But I was way too happy to care.
