Page 73 of We The Depraved

She comes at me in the expensive outfit she’s wearing. My cousin is like a solid brick fucking wall colliding with me.

Oh shit, I think as we scramble to the ground. More screams are filling the air and the gun is sliding out of my hand.

Reese manages to get on top of me and I know that she’s unafraid of getting her all white outfit dirty now. When I’m done she’s going to be red and bloody.

“Fuck you bitch!” I holler out in between blows.

She gets up then, kicking me in my sides. “No fuck you!”

Rolling away, I scramble to my feet. My grandmother has been joined on the porch by a crying Krystina. My face feels hot and there’s a stinging over my right eye like I got scraped by those ugly ass white nails Reese is wearing.

“You all way have to bring the drama,” Reese sneers, her chest rising and falling.

She’s winded.

I’m winded.

Goddamn, why didn’t I just shoot her when I had the chance?

“You think I don’t know?”

“Know what bitch?”

Reese is going to get this work. My fist balls up again and she watches me with her eyebrow quirked.

“You’re going to wish you’d never taken his money,” I say.

“What money, Sage?”

We’re battling then. I don’t give her time to react as I rush forward and land a blow on her lips and to her jaw. My cousin might be built like a brick house, but her mouth wasn’t.

Blood sprays and just like I’d wanted her white top was dripping red. While I was happy, it wasn’t time to let up. She grabbed at her face so I went for her midsection.

No one is going to stop me.

“Tell them!” I scream.

Her hands cover her mouth, muffling the sounds she tries to make. Reese stumbles back into the dirt and finally begs me to stop the assault.

“Fucking tell them everything!”

She stares up at me and I’m about to kick her again but someone pulls me back. I stare into green eyes.

“It’s done,” he says.

“When…when did you get here? How…”

“Silver told me something was going on …”

My husband just watched me beat the fuck out of my cousin. The rage I have inside of me hasn’t subsided.

“She deserved it,” I say.

Reese has gotten to her feet with my sister’s help.

“Sage your fucking psychotic,” Khrystina hollers.

She has no fucking idea about anything. I wish I could let her live there in the dark for a little while longer.
