I feel I had a hard day at school. Well really after school. I gotta kill her. I don't have to. Why am I doing this again?
I drove home with Keku and we didn't do homework. I live in a strange world and teachers are half ass lazy, plus I never do it. But I do read my books.
"Fantastic, Wallie I need you to go to the store." I just walked in. Keku slides pass me and goes upstairs without a word. Uncle is sitting in front of the TV. My fucking aunt is giving me orders and suddenly I remember I have a bag of poison.
"And get what?"
"Some grips. Now, I think Dazz sells a pair of grips real cheap. About 380 right?" she looks dumbfounded at me. "Uh, I never got any before…"
"Well today is the day."
"Auntie I got night classes."
"It'll be real quick. Your uncle needs them. Get the silver ones." she rushes me out the door again. "And what if they don't have silver--"
"They do, I know they do."
"But the--"
"Money, she shoves a pile in my hands and doesn't give me the time of day to count. "I'm fixing dinner for the whole family. Go and get your dad some fangs!"
"Dad?" I swish around but the door is already shut. "Auntie!"
I need teeth? Yes, this is the perfect time to go wolf and bust the door and demand answers. But I'm also fat and lazy. I just came home from school, I don't feel like fighting.
I hop back in the truck and head out to the market to see Lady Dazz. It going on night by the time I get there. No one is around, because it's night but her shop is lit. I get out and go inside.
It's just Keegan at the front. "Kee, I was set for teeth." his face is pale compared to his brown glow. "Huh?" he says, slowly bending to the side. "What's wrong with you?"
"Nun, nigga."
"Excuse you. I asked a question." I put my hand on my hip. "Y'all got teeth?"
"Tooth fairy…" he mumbles. He straighten his stance and looks at me with wide eyes. "Your teeth…"
"Keegan stop fuckin--" my words cut as he yells at me. The word, 'Cut' sends me back. I grab my ripped short just barely showing my bra. "Keegan!" I get up, I see the flames coming out of his throat. His eyes turn orange and fire escapes upward from them. "Keegan!"
"MY SOUL IS BURNING!" I hear him scream. He grabs both sides of his head and jumps over the counter in one leap. "WALLIE!"
A burst of fire comes out his mouth, I jump to avoid it. The shop is on fire. "Grrr…" my eyes are hot and chest grows. I'm on all fours as I pounce on him. "Calm down!" I bark.
"Tooth…" Keegan's not in control, he cocks his head to the left. His mouth opens, I put my hands over his face. My palms are hot, I have to get off him. He raises off his heels. "Teeth…" he leads out his hands.
"What the fuck my nigga!"
"Wallie, your teeth are perfect…" that's not his voice. It's female. "Keegan say something."
"I'M BURNING! WALLIE!" his arms fall off and replace with fire blazing from his limbs. "GET OUT!" he spits a fireball towards me. "BLOCK!" the word pushes back the attack.
I swipe a shelve from the floor and fling at him. It doesn't do anything. "Keegan!"
"GET OUT!" he roars fire out his jaws at the ceiling. I have to get out. I break down the door and leave the car. Keegan jumps out the window and chases me.
I'm running with my paws on the ground. I can't go home…
This nigga is soaring through the air like a firecracker. I skid across the dirt and shout, "WET!" the word hits him and he comes crashing down.
A moment.
Just give me a moment.
I shift back. Maybe I shouldn't. I don't run, I take caution. "Keegan?" I pull his head to the side and flip his body on his back. His eyes are gone.
There is smoking coming out of his mouth. He's a wolf, not a vampire. "Keegan?"
I pick up his body and take him back to the shop. I put Keegan on the counter and moved to the back. "Auntie…" my voice is low. Storage, boxes, shelves, oh my god. I go through the tight aisle and Lady Dazz is slumped over.
Her eyes are open and she's white. "Auntie?" my ears are flat against my head. I feel like a puppy.
It's wet around her. It's not pee. I put fingers in the liquid. It's clear, it might be water.
I lick it and my soul burns. I whine like a dog, moving backwards. I hit a chest.
"What a dumb dog…"
"Asian?"
I can't see shit.
.
.
.
What the fuck?
Am I moving?
My eyes were open. My arms? Behind me with some rope. My legs, attached, but tied also. "What the hell."
"I'm offended. Like you really called me an Asian. Like you didn't specify." I hear a voice. "You might think I'm Japanese, Chinese, and yes India counts but I'm white. Really yellow bone. Like I could be from Thailand, Korea, surely not north but people make it." he picks at his nails."
"Who the hell are you?" I'm looking at a pretty tall fucking Asian right now. His hair black and he has beautiful blue eyes. I didn't know. He's wearing a black suit with a badge on it. I can't see it. "You can call me Father Jun. June. Xinya." he leans over his knees. "Uh…" he clicks his tongue. "Right, Okra. You Yawa's daughter, right?"
"My dad is dead."
"Yeah but you still related like you a daughter."
"So?"
"Well… you know why yo daddy died right?"
"Deals…"
"Good so…" he looks somewhere in the truck. "Where's the money?"
"Money? What the fuck makes you think my ass has it?"
"I don't know inheritance."
"You don't know what the fuck you want!"
"Money." he states. "I want fucking money."
"What are you mixed?" I have never witnessed a blue eyed Asian. "Bitch, what makes you think Blue eyes is just for white people. You blue eyed Arabs, Indians, Africans, Spanish and the Polynesians I have it too. This is because of genes. Like my clan said Blue kids were smart."
"So you think you well in the head?"
"Yeah."
"You sound stupid."
"At least I wasn't raised in a puppy mill."
My face is ugly. "So like do they train y'all to also suck dick?" he chortles to himself. "You think that's funny?" I sit on my knees. "You nasty as fuck."
"And you black… as shit." he rolls his eyes. :So about the money--"
"What about Okra?"
"I ain't worried about her. Also, nice titties for a wolf. I'm a furry. Otaku."
"NIGGA! I don't like shrimp dick!"
He gets up and stand in front of me. June unzips his pants and pulls his dick out. "That is seven inches." I'm disgusted. "No, look at it! This the tip of the dick." I look at the wall. "this is the shaft, you see the veins. Bitch look at the length!"
"Oh my God!"
"I know! My shit is big!" he zips his pants back up. "Now say sorry."
No.
He takes hold of my chin and pulls my bottom lip. "I'm so sorry Xinya. Please forgive me, I'm just a stupid dog!" he smacks me. My tail swishes and my ears up. "I BITE."
"I foreplay." he shrugs. "Money!"
"I don't fucking know where that shit is!"
"Your his daughter."
"I'm also, technically a fucking orphan. I don't know shit about my daddy's dealings!"
"Really? Do you remember all the women in the kennel?"
"It's not a kennel."
"so you don't know." he looks surprised. "Well… I'm the repoman. Plus other things but I don't get paid for those things."
"You a vamp?"
"Vampire--Ah nah!" he blows raspberry. "I'm fucking psychic."
"You like lying."
"Not really…"
"Are you human?"
"No like my mom was a witch." he sniffs.
I blink. He blinks.
"I'm asian…"
"But what kind of asian?"
"I could be noodles, chicken--oh fired chicken is the best. I love it. But seriously I'm chinese. Jun Xinya."
What the fuck? "Who sent you after me?"
"Okra Tubbs"
"Tubbs?" Her last name is Tubbs? "are you working with my principal. The assistant principal?"
"Huh, who he?"
"Well, I mean, Prefect Bailey."
"Oh, the white man. So, since I was told you had the money by the bitch that told me a lie. Imma tell you all the business."
What a nice guy. "I can read your thought a bit. I'm not nice. I have record."
"For what?"
"Robbing an ice cream store. I sold some crack when was seventeen, I catfished a girl on facebook and robbed her. Like I went in the house, locked her in room and stole shit. Then I pawned it off." he looks to the side and sighs. "Those were some good days.".
"Can you untie me?"
"Hell no, those cuffs keep your ass from biting me. For real tho, I'm scared of dogs. Werewolves are freaks."
"Excuse me--"
"You are. A dog! That walks on two legs!" he puts his hands together in prayer. "So anyway. Okra hates your father. Apparently she made a plan years ago to rob his apartment. Apartments in Locucts is like castles. You put the food in there and make them pay rent. It's a win, win situation for vamps and shit. A lot of people in them are chained to the wall tho so, they dead."
"And you want money?"
"Because Yawa didn't pay up. So it's two stories attached to this. Growden rented some dogs, the dogs got lost and he said he wanted the first born from Yawa."
"I'm the 17th child actually…"
"Damn, yo daddy got baby mamas everywhere."
"Okra isn't one of them…"
"Well, she said, he raped her in a bathroom and she got pregnant."
