"Oh it's so good to have you back." said Spiri. She ran her hand up and down her brothers's back. Avory just sat there quietly staring at his plate of food. She noticed he had barely sad a word since he'd gotten home or eaten much of the special lunch she had made him. She tried to stay up beat, maybe they should switch to dessert she had his favorite. "How about dessert," she smiled.

"Maybe later…" he grumbled.

"Okay, I'll got get it in case you change your mind," she slid out from the table and rushed off to the kitchen. Before she left she looked to Graham hoping he'd be able to cheer him up. Graham looked at her but sighed he had a feeling he knew what was on Avory's mind but fore everyones sake he hoped he was wrong. He picked up his beer and took a swig.

Avory took this first true moment of silence since he'd come home to ask the only question that had been on his mind, "Where is she,"

Graham groaned, he'd been right. He set his beer down and looked Avory in the eyes, "FUCK AVORY, you haven't been out of prison two hours,"

"I know that," said Avory, "But I need to know, I need to see her, talk to her,"

"Do you want to go back that badly," said Graham. "If you're even within a hundred feet of her it breaks your promotion you'll have to serve the full three years, do you want that,"

"You don't understand…" said Avory Graham could see the desperation in his eyes.

He shook his head, "No you don't understand...Avory. You put her through a second story window, she put you in jail...Next time one of you isn't going to walk away. Whatever the two of you had it's done. IT'S DONE AVORY,"

Avory's eyes shifted as he studied his friends face. "I just want to talk to her...i wont go near her...just tell me where she is just-

"No," Graham said putting his fist down. "NO!"

Avory looked at him bitterly, "FINE...he stood, pushing the chair back so hard that it clattered to the floor. "DON'T HELP ME BUT DON'T GET IN MY WAY!

He gave Graham a scathing look and shot out of the room.

Graham sat there for a moment then pushed his plate aside. He rested his elbows on on the table and sunk his head into his hands.

Spiri came back into the room, without the dessert, she'd heard them shouting she twisted her long hair up in her hands and whimpered, "What are we going to do?

Graham let out a heavy sigh but eventually responded, "Beyond tying him up there isn't much we can do...He's gonna do what he's gonna do."

"But they'll arrest him again…this time it was over a years, next time they might not let him out ..you heard that judge"

"You don't think I know that… he said running a hand across his mouth. Avory was his best friend in all the world. He'd counted the days until his released and visited him every change he got. He was hoping things would be different once he got out, once he got some perspective but all he cared about was Juliet

Ever since that bitch came into their lives Avory had changed. From the moment he met her Graham could almost feel a shift in Avory's entire presence. He bent over backwards to give her the world, sure every now and then he had to set her straight but it wasn't like she deserved it. She did things just to piss him off…It was like Avory was on fire when he was around her and she was just pouring the gasoline on him.

Almost a year an a half ago they'd got in a really big fight. Graham didn't know the details he'd been out getting smokes at the time. He hit her and she flipped out taking a knife to him, she cut off several of his fingers and he pushed he threw her through the window of their second story apartment. Bitch should have been arrested for what she did but they only arrested Avory...just cause she looked worse...then he did. It was bullshit….

Avory had to go to court, Graham got him a lawyer, tried to get him to plead out make a deal but all Avory cared about was Juliet...fucking Juliet. They'd managed to get him bail and what did he do went to the hospital to see her, broke into her room. He was arrested and they sentenced him to three years. It would have been more...but there had been some fuck up. The judge had been pissed and threatened that Avory's next time would be his last.

Graham was hoping some space, some time apart from her would make him see clearly but all Avory did was write letter after letter to her. They took his mail privileges away for six months. When he got them back he wrote Graham but it was just a letter to give to Juliet. Graham tore them up every last one up but he told Avory he sent them off. Only when he got out on parole did Graham finally admit he hadn't sent them.

Avory been quiet the last two hours barely saying a word as they drove to his sister's house to have a nice meal. Avory hadn't even touched it all he wanted to know was. "WHERE WAS SHE!" WHERE WAS SHE!" That fucking bitch….

Graham tore out of his seat he wanted to set the house on fire. FUCK IF HE KNEW WHERE SHE WAS, HE'D have put a bullet in her head, if it would save his friend life...saving him from this impending madness that had overtaken every aspect of his life he'd do it….He'd do it to set him free even at the cost of his own life…

He looked out the window and saw Avory had left the house. He shook his head and rushed from the kitchen knowing he was going to get himself in trouble. He burst out the front door rushed down the front steps and ran after Avory as he hit the street. When Avory saw his friend was chasing after he he burst into a run. The two used to race all the time as kids Graham was always faster and nothing had changed in all these years he tackled him in the front lawn of the Hendrens.

The two wrested with each other. Avory had some fight in him but again Graham was stronger. Even though Avory had been in prison this last year Graham didn't have much else to do but work out and wait for him. He pushed his friends face down in the grass pinning his arms behind him he standed his back waiting for him to stop squirming when he finally calmed down and turned his head to the side Graham huffed and puffed, he didn't yell at him but instead said, "Please...please don't do this...stay away from her...just stay away from her….please,"

"You don't understand," said Avory, "I need her...I can't live without her,"

"You can" said Graham."You don't need her. She's nothing a fucking whore...they are a dim a dozen,

"No," he said struggling again… "NO!" he raged on for a good ten minutes before he went silent. Graham rolled off of him. He could see Avory wasn't gonna give up, he was either going to be with Juliet or not be at all he could see it in his ice blue eyes...the desperation, the determination.

Graham ran his hands over his shaved head, "FUCK AVORY! FUCK! DON'T YOU REALIZE YOU'RE NOT JUST HURTING YOURSELF. What about you're sister...Spiri. You think of her? You're all she has left and what about me…you think this last year was easy on me without you…What if I said I can't live without you...Huh. WHAT IF I SAID I NEED YOU!"

Avory slowly got up and sat on his knees. A long moment of silence passed between them before he quietly spoke said "I just want to talk to her,"

"You just want to talk to her...then what…"

"She'll forgive me…She'll come back to me,"

Graham looked at his friend...clearly he was mad. They hadn't been able to use the insanity plea before but whatever had happened to him over this last year, prison, had driven his friend mad…Graham realized he really didn't care about anything or anyone all. He understood what he needed to do. What needed to happen.

"Okay." he said, "I'll help you,"

"You'll help me...how," said Avory suspiciously.

"Give me time. She don't live around here no more. After what happened she left,"

"WHERE!" Avory demanded.

"I'll find her. I'll find her and then you can talk to her but you got to give me time to look."

"I'll look for her," said Avory. "I'll find her...I'll always find her,"

"You look for her and she'll know you're coming, she might not talk to you, she might just call the cops. Then you'll have to serve the rest of your sentence it will be another year before you can see her"

Avory looked at Graham but nodded at least he seemed to have some reason left in him, "How much time…"

A week….give me a week...and if I don't find her you can run all over looking for her...but just keep with your parole, spend some time with Spiri...when I find her...I'll tell you,"

"Alright…"

***********

"How about this one?" asked Pearl.

Juliet looked at the latest chocolate Pearl offered. She didn't want to be rude but at this point she was done with chocolate. She didn't think such a thing could be possible. Juliet always had a such sweet tooth but since Pearl had fallen in love with the islands new mail man...she'd been cooking up a storm trying to win his heart with special crafted chocolates...She thought her message of love could be sent through the various flavors and textures. She was going for a chocolate that would make the heart flutter. To be fair she'd outdone herself more then once but at this rate Juliet's stomach was about to flutter.

"Uh...You know I would love to but I just brushed my teeth…"

"You could brush them again," she shrugged.

She gave Juliet a sweet innocent look, ah to be eighteen and in love. Juliet quickly scooped it up and popped it in her mouth. It was sweet and chewy...very very very chewy like gum…"

"Well," asked Pearl.

"Mmmm mmm…" said Juliet she pushed herself to swallow it and felt it slowly slid down her throat, "A bit chewy…"

"Mmmm," she paused considering this… "But the flavor,"

"Like the last dozen...spectacular,"

"Great!" said Pearl happily. "I'll have to work on the chewy part though...I don't want to scare him into commitment to fast. The more chewy it is the more he might think I want to settle down too soon,"

"I get it chewy mean commitment," said Juliet.

"Yep a little chew ain't bad but too much too fast...you know guys," said Pearl.

"I do." said Juliet, "I'd better get going."

"If you see Dax let him know I need his opinion as well," said Pearl.

"Will do," said Juliet.

She grabbed her lunch pail and rushed outside. She saw Dax coming down the path he had a slew of fish swung over his shoulder. She rushed up to him and gave him a quick kiss. When she pulled back she quickly pulled him aside, "If I were you I'd clean those down at the shop, you're sister is cooking up a storm again,"

"Really," said Dax shifting his weight, "She needs to get over this… I don't know what she sees in that guy anyway. He has one job and he can't even do it, right. Reggie says he caught him at the top of his light house yesterday. He got lost again and thought if he climbed to the top he'd be able to get his baring."

"What happened?" asked Juliet.

"He realized he wasn't good with heights. Reggie found him clinging to the railing mail spilling out everywhere…He practically had to carry him down,"

"Ooo...well that is...something but don't be so hard on the kid… It's his first job and personally I think he and Pearl would make a cute couple,"

"You would," said Dax giving her a look.

She chuckled, "I know I know if you had your way, your baby sister would never go up, but she has, deal with it,"

"I'll deal with you," he said wrapping his arms around her.

"Ah ah," she said, "I'm my way to work...just cause I work around fish all day doesn't mean I need to smell like them," she stuck out her tongue and he grimaced.

"Wait a second I could drive you," he said, "Since I'm going to the shop anyway…"

"I'd rather ride my bike," said Juliet. "I like the quiet and I have a few errands to run after work for a certain someone's birthday," said Juliet touching her nose.

"Yeah, yeah, let's not celebrate it...I'm not going to be thirty...I refuse…"

"Refuse all you want it's happening." said Juliet.

"Just you wait babe, two years and I'll get you,"

"Have to catch me first," she teased rushing to her bike. She tossed her lunch pail in the basket and kicked up the stand before rushing off with it. He chased her a few steps but pulled back chuckling. She climbed on and then eased herself down the small hill near the house before pedaling. It was a nice morning.

The mist was still pulling back but she had a feeling it was going to be a bright sunny day...Then again everyday was bright here. Everyday was full of sunshine and possibility. It was one of the reasons she'd chosen to live on this island. After everything that had happened, the trauma. She'd done as much as she could to shed her skin. She had so many scars, emotionally and physically but sitting in that hospital room almost two years ago she'd been alone for the first time in her life...She'd been scared...of the past...scared of the future. Physical therapy had been hard but once she got through it, once she could move on her own she packed up what she could carry and let the wind take her.

For months she traveled never staying in one place to long, only working long enough to get to the next place. She'd ended up on some ferry, she got all turned around. When it stopped thought it was her stop, she got off and realized she was mistaken, by then it had already left. She didn't know what she was going to do. She walked around and she ended up talking to Pearl. She was bored out of her mind reading a windswept romance novel. She longed to be swept up in a deep romance but sadly she'd yet to meet anyone of interest. The island mostly got tourist, families, couples, old photographers, never anyone young and interesting.

Juliet had liked her from the start, she admitted she'd gotten off when she wasn't suppose to. The next ferry wasn't due until tomorrow so she was stuck on the island. Pearl offered to let her bunk at her place. She lived with her big brother who was a fisher man, the one who stocked all the fish at the shop. Juliet didn't want to impose but offered to cook in exchange for a nights room and board. Pearl liked to cook but who didn't want to have a night off every once and a while.

Juliet went shopping picked out what she could and made a nice salmon and shrimp dinner. When she was done she realized Pearl probably ate fish and shrimp all the time she might not want to eat it again but Pearl accepted. Juliet offered to make pancakes in the morning and Pearl accepted. At one point some burly man came into the house, he had a beard and looked like he could be right off the label of can of fish. He mumbled a few words and sat down. He had two helping of her dinner, to which Juliet was glad she'd made so much. When he was done he finally noticed they had company and introduced himself.

The next morning Juliet woke to make the pancakes but found everyone was already up. Apparently everyone on the island got up before the sun. She supposed she'd have to leave a rain check on the pancakes. She went to leave but wouldn't you know it the ferry didn't show. She found out it had broken down. She offered to cook again but Pearl said it was her brothers night. Juliet wandered around the island for a good while...before finally going back to their house. When she got their she thought someone else had come to visit. She saw a clean shaven man in a navy turtle neck sweater he was setting the table when she walked in. She noticed his eyes, she had a thing for easy. They were soft and gentle like a calming ocean.

For a moment Juliet felt like she had been swept up in one of Pearls' romance novels. When Pearl came down stairs a few minutes later she quickly asked her who this young man was. She let out the largest laugh saying it was her brother. She teased that he'd got the sudden urge to tidy up. It was clear why….Juliet found herself blushing. Dax tried to deny it, she helped him with dishes that night and they talked by the fire for a few hours. When the next morning came and she didn't get on the ferry it was clear the two of them had something going on.

Dax offered her Pearls job at the shop so Pearl could have more time to be young and free and the two soon started dating. The first time they made love had been...had been outstanding. She'd cried and he didn't know why. She admitted to him she'd been hurt before and didn't know if she could ever be with someone like that again. Could ever let herself fall…

He said he'd catch her if she did. She enjoyed being with him, building something with him but it had only been a few months. He didn't know her...didn't know what had happened. When he saw her scars she'd said she'd been in a car accident….one day she might tell him...she'd been in a train wreck of a relationship but the wound were still to fresh. She'd been so young when she'd met Avory. She'd been completely taken in by him…. She'd fallen fast and hard and no one caught her...or him…

Their passion had ignited them both, she was able to overlook with he got possessive…. Just as he overlooked when she got jealous. They were both insecure...neither one really trusting the other… When he started hitting her….she told herself it was her fault…. Sometimes it probably was...he parents used to say it takes two to fight. She wasn't innocent there were times when she'd said things to hurt him because he'd hurt her…

The last night they were together all of it just felt like it was a mess. She'd been so in love with him for so long that she'd overlook everything… even herself. In a moment of clarity she was able to see things as they were. They were out of smoke she wanted to go get them but he didn't want her going out he wanted her to make his dinner. She made it but refused to do the dishes. They started fighting but the fight wasn't about the dishes it was about their latest miscarriage...Who's fault it was…

A few years back she'd gotten pregnant but knew they weren't ready so she'd had an abortion. He never forgave her for that, the next time they got pregnant he claimed she was going to murder it as well. They'd gotten into a fight she'd lost it when she'd fallen down some stairs. She couldn't remember if he'd pushed her or if she'd been going down them too fast. Things were tense with them the next time she didn't know she was pregnant until he was carrying her into the emergency room. She'd had a ectopic pregnancy.

They had to remove one of her ovaries...The doctors told her she still might have kids but they'd been through so much at that point. They took a few years off but eventually started trying again, it took so long to get pregnant when they did gone to get an ultrasound and there wasn't a heartbeat. She had to have a medical abortion. He refused to take her or pick her up after. They stopped trying after that…Things went on but…their relationship felt hollow, he was always moody, she was distant…She knew he'd been seeing someone else a few times...she'd see signs of it...She wondered if he wanted him her to call him out on it. To confront him, she knew he'd just deny it….swear she was the only woman he loved...but he if he loved her he wouldn't hit her…

That night when she refused to clear the table to do the dishes he'd shoved her thrown the plates off the table. One of them had shattered on the floor. She looked down at the broken glass and felt...like she was that plate...that she was shattered. She'd screamed at him fought back….he yelled at her for having killed their children….She'd been mortified she'd lashed out at him saying…She wanted kids she just didn't want to have them with him. He'd lost it then… he'd thrown her into the hall kicked her in the stomach…called her a worthless whore….that she wasn't worth anything. She couldn't cook. She couldn't give him children...all she could do was fuck...and even then he admitted he'd had better.

She'd laid on the floor for several minutes…debating if it was worth it to get back up or not… When his friend came over he shut the door and asked him to get some smokes. He started cleaning things up. She watched him and knew...she couldn't do this anymore...Whether it was her fault or not…for the kids...for him beating her...she...she was done. She hobbled into the bathroom and cleaned herself up. He was watching TV when she came out she went to the bedroom and packed a bag…

She knew he wasn't going to let her leave. If he wasn't going to let her get a pack of cigarettes then he wasn't going to let her walk out on him. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a large knife… When she moved to the door he noticed her then. He demanded to know where where thoguht she was going. She'd said anywhere….away from you.

He'd called her dramtic… told her to come to him. She put her hand on the door and told him goodbye. He came at her then..she knew he was going to try and stop her to hit her. She lashed out with the knife then, she cut off several off his fingers…When she saw them fall to the floor and realized what she'd done she couldn't believe it. She hadn't wanted to hurt him she just wanted to leave but there was no stopping him after that. He came at her like a crazed animal. She tried to defend herself he grabbed the knife with his other hand and held the blade pulling it out of her hand….He was bleeding all over the place. She thought he was going to kill her. He kept pushing her cursing her….claiming she was trying to kill him. She claimed she just wanted to leave...she just wanted this to be over… He said fine...you want it to be over...it's over and then…..she remembered him pushing her and pushing her...Everything else...it was just...a blur….lights….voices….glass...pain….she could hear him yelling.

He said he was sorry he didn't mean it….he didn't mean it. In the hospital the police saw the other bruises the other broken bones on the x-rays...The doctors talked over her injuries...She hadn't… she hadn't really thought there were that many…She couldn't remember all of them….They'd happened over years little incidents here and there but they always mad up people fought….people hurt each other all the time...she loved him so much...their love was just too powerful….little excuses she told herself. The police wanted her statement she admitted to stabbing him...cutting off his fingers…she had seven broken bones and 97 stiches and she asked if he was okay she admited she didn't mean to hurt him. The way the police had looked at her the nurses had whispered….She was pathedic.

When he broke into her hospital room he begged her pleaded with her to forgive him. He said they didn't need to have kids. That he just wanted to be with her, they could adopt but they didn't have to….they could just go away...some place new some place where they could just be together and be happy. Where there was no stress, he promised swore on his mother he'd never lay a finger on her again. That she was his everything and if he lost her he lost everything.

She hadn't sad a word to him...she'd just looked at him as they'd dragged him out of her room. He'd attacked one of the security guards and they tazed him. This wasn't love….He didn't love her….She didn't love him...if either of them had cared about one another they would have walked away. Once he was gone and the police were gone and it was just her in the hospital she realized she didn't have anyone...her mother had washed her hands of her after the stairs incident….She'd told her to leave him...that he was going to kill her and she wasn't going to watch her die. She didn't blame her...at the time she had been so in love with him she wouldn't listen to anyone….but after that after she'd cut him up and he'd pushed her out of a window she knew there was no happy ever after after that….there was only the next time….until the last time.

Juliet took a deep breath and let the air out of her lungs. It was cold out, chilly but she didn't care as she rode her bike around paradise she let the past fall away. She hoped one day it would all just be a memory….a distant thought.

When she got to the shop she locked up her bike. She went inside before moving back to the coolers. Everyone on this island lived by fish one way or another… They sold it to tourists and amongst themselves. She learned when fish was abundant everywhere it was the rare ones that then became valuable.

Dax had a few hidden fishing spots….some old family secrets for catching crabs, and clusters, cacalas and cuski. There were so many types she was steal learning what they all looked like, how to care for them and how much to sell them for. She got everything set up in the disply with the ice knowing they'd have a lot of tourist in today. When she was all set up she opened up and then wiped everything down.

A man came in first thing she looked up wondering who it was. It must have been a local but she was wrong. She knew those jaded eyes...the utter look of disdain, "Graham." she said more to herself then a greeting.

"We need to talk," he said somberly.

"We really don't," she said. She bit her lip worried "he" might be with him but thankfully she didn't see him. He was probably still locked up. She'd received a letter from him in physical therapy from some prison she'd tossed it without reading it. She looked around hoping there wouldn't be trouble…

"He's out," said Graham.

She felt a sudden pit in her stomach so much for a sunshiny day, "Is he with you?"

"No but he's looking for you?"

"I don't want to be found," she said.

"I know that," said Graham. "But if I can find you, he can find you,"

She closed her eyes, "What does he want,"

Graham grunted obviously she knew what he wanted. She shook her head "It's over this time... it really is," she said, "I'm no longer that person, I'm with someone else, I've moved on with my life"

"Well he can't," said Graham.

"He needs to," said Juliet crossing her arms.

"Don't act like a self righteous bitch, after everything you put him through! So you got fixed up….found some other gulable smuck to fuck over. You haven't changed one bit. You're still a pile of steaming shit. If you had any decency in you, you would have gone off and died. Let everyone else wipe their boots off but instead you're just spreading around."

Juliet found her jaw had dropped...She knew Graham had never liked her but she was taken aback by the tone of his voice the, vulgarity of his words. Before she could say anything someone else did.

"Excuse me," said Dax coming in from the back. Right….he was, she'd told him to clean the fish in the shop...to avoid Pearl's chocolate. Pearl, the choclates this morning felt so far away now. She turned to him. He didn't look happy, "Who the fuck are you,"

"The smuck," said Graham giving her a look.

Juliet swallowed, "Dax-"

Dax put his hand up and she stopped speaking, "I SAID WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU! YOU COME INTO MY SHOP….YOU SAY THAT SHIT TO MY GIRLFRIEND!" Dax had his chest puffed up his fists balled. He wad trying to defend her honor. She didn't like what Graham had said but she knew why he was here….for Avory…

"This doesn't concern you, buddy."

"THE FUCK IT DOESN'T" said Dax his eyes were bewildered now. He came up on Graham he was shorter then him by several inches. Graham let out a chuckle, Dax went to grab him. Graham dodge his grasp and pushed Dax back. It was on then Dax moved his arm back and swung hard. Graham moved but not fast enough. Juliet knew Graham could fight...she'd seen him take several people down in the past. Mostly locals, that had pissed him off. He sought to shut Dax down but Dax had a background of his own. Pearl said when she was younger he used to get drunk in the bars and fight after their parents died he'd cleaned himself up to take care of pearl. Ever now and then he scuffled with a routie tourist but it must have been years still...Dax wasn't about to be taken down.

Graham was surprised by the strength in Dax's punch but he didn't underestimate him for long he came at him with his own blows. He managed to grasp hold of Dax's fishering coat and rammed him into the counter the display case broke and sending glass into the fish. Juilet screamed. Dax pushed back on Graham slamming his fists into his ribbs. Graham hunched over for a second but head bought his own fist in and down on Dax's nose it had to be broken the amount of blood that sprayed on the floor. Juliet knew she had to do island was small they didn't have phones. She knew she'd have to rush out to the station just down the street but she didn't want to leave him.

Graham pounded down on Dax his fists looked like hammers. Juilet grabbed the sprayer she used to clean down and disinfect she rushed around the counter and starteed spraying Graham she tried to get his eyes he cried out and Dax had an opening bloodied as he was he charged Grahm around the waist and sent him flying back the two burst through the shops big window and out onto the street.

"DAX! DAX!" Juliet cried. She dropped the disinfectant sprayer and rushed to the door and ran outside the two of them were still going at in in the glass on the sidewalk… They were rolling around until Dax got on top and managed to punch Graham he stopped fighting then and looked like he was going to pass out. Dax straddled him and yelled!

"GO GET DIPSEN!

Dispen was the islands police.

"I don't want to leave you," said Juliet.

"GO," said Dax.

She nodded and rushed down the street. When she got to the police station she was shocked to see it was empty. She saw a sign on the door… "Fire," She pulled back from the station. Whenever there was a fire it was all hands on deck, she hadn't heard the fire alarm a moment later it went off…Reggie was the light house keeper and head of the fire department. Thought she had only been here a while she knew someone had to tell Reggie there was a fire in the distance. She stumbled back from the police station she saw smoke in the distance….She couldn't be sure where it was coming from but she didn't like the direction….

Suddenly she bumped into someone… She turned hoping it was one of the police officers. The island had three...maybe one had come back. To her horror it wasn't the island police but…. Avory…

"No…..she cried out. She sounded like a wounded cat.

He grasped hold of her, "Juliet...Juliet….I just want to talk, just talk,"

"No...no…" she didn't ever want to see him again let alone talk to him. In the back of her mind she knew she might run into him again one day but hoped….hoped she wouldn't.

She struggled to get free of him scratching clawing fighting with him. He struggled to keep control of her, "Stop that.. STOP IT...JULIET," Without thinking about it he hit her… It wasn't a hard smack but a quick sharp one. She paused for a moment her eyes blurring with tears. He'd sworn he'd never hurt her again. She cried out at the top of her lungs...remembering her own vow….that she wouldn't let him she tore at him digging her nails into his face.. She dug them in deep trying to tears his eyes out. He struggled with her hands yelling at her to stop but she was blinded by her instincts to fight. She wanted to tear him apart she got a large chunk out of him before he lost it he grasped hold of neck and began to choke her demanding she let go. She refused….but began to feel light head as he squieezed tighter and tigherer… When she began to sway he let go of her neck and came down hard on her arm forcing them to drop before shoving her to the ground. He helpd his face as it bled, 'FUCKING BITCH I JUST WANT TO TALK TO YOU,"

She gasped for air on the ground couching madly. A moment later through blurry eye she watched a figure lunge at Avory and take him to the ground. She wiped her eyes her face turning red as she historically shook. She saw it was Dax he'd heard her screams down the street and come running they fought. He started to beat the shit out of Avory. He'd been caught of guard and struggled to get revcover as Dax let loose on him. Juliet had never seen anyone wail on Avory for a moment she just watched as Dax slammed him head into the ground. At this rate….he was going to kill him… She knew she should do something… She…. Didn't want this….she didn't anyone to get hurt…..to die…..Dax...she whimpered...but he was infused with rage… He didn't hear her whimper to him. A moment later there was gunfire….

Everything paused then….Dax froze and Juliet whipped her head around she saw Spiri, She had a gun in her hand and pointed it up at the sky. She pointed it down shakily at Dax, "GET OFF...GET OF MY BROTHER OR I'LL SHOOT,"

Dax let go of Avory and put his hands down, "Hey...hey it's okay...I'm letting your brother go….you can put the gun down now,"

"Don't put it down," sputtered Avory spitting up blood.

"Shut up Avory," screamed Juliet.

"You shut up…" said Spiri Her hands shaking as she pointed the gun at Dax.

Dax was slowly moving… he got off Avory but didn't stop moving. Juliet realized he was going to go for the gun. She didn't think Spiri would shoot she'd always been sweet nice kid from when she knew her. She'd didn't think she'd kill anyone then again she admired her brother...would do anything for him at the drop of a hat. In her haste she might shoot.

"Spiri, put the gun down," said Juliet trying to reason with her, "You don't want to hurt anyone."

"I said shut up." said Spiri her hands shaking. Juliet bit her lip as Dax kept slowly drifting.

Spiri didn't seem to notice his slow movement, "You okay V"

"No," said Avory, painfully sitting up. "Fucker jumped me,"

"You were strangling my girlfriend,"

Avory spit a wad of blood onto the pavement, "THAT FUCKING CUNT IS MINE,"

Juliet wanted to protest but things were already tense…Avory rolled to his knees and said, "You can stop moving asshole,"

Spiri realized Dax had gotten closer to her. She quickly shook the gun, "YEAH….STAY BACK,"

Avory struggled to his feet clutching his side. He took a few steps and then kicked Dax hard in the back. He cried out falling to the ground he went to kick him again and Juliet rushed to Avory grasping hold of his legs, "STOP IT! STOP IT!"

Spiri fired shooting the window out of a parked car…. Avory froze, "Watch it Spiri, or you might shoot me,"

"Well come get the gun, I don't want it" said Spiri. She moved it pointing the handle toward them. Now was the time, even in pain blood dripping down his face Dax went for the gun. Avory realized his sister mistake and tried to stop Dax from tackling his sister. Juliet threw herself in front of Avory knocking him to the ground.

Before Avory could get to Spiri Graham was there with the disinfectant spray he sprayed it all over Dax….face...and wounds he cried out falling back. "HURTS DOESN'T IT!"

He spit on Dax and then took the gun from Spiri, "I TOLD YOU TWO TO WAIT ON THE BOAT!"

"What can I say I got a little eager," said Avory and then he looked back at Juliet she knew that look before she could he kicked her in the chest knocking the wind out of here. She began gasping and coughing as Spiri ran to her brother and helped him to his feet.

"You okay," said Graham.

"Better then you," scoffed Avory after getting a good look at him.

"We should get going," said Graham.

"Right," said Avory he glanced back, "Juliet"

He called to her like a fucking dog she refused to go to him. Let them shoot her, she continued to grasp for air and then attempted to crawl over to Dax. "JULIET!" said Avory losing his patience with her. He moved painfull and stepped on her hand. She pulled it back as he grunted. He bent and tangled his fingers in her hair forcing her to get up, "You've been a very….VERY...bad girl."

She cursed him and twisted to scratch him again. The gun went off again. Dax Cried out as Graham shot...him in the leg…. Juliet froze, "NO MORE OF YOUR SHIT!" Barked Graham, "YOU COME WITH US NOW OR I KILL HIM,"

Her eyes welled up with tears but she nodded allowing Avory to pull her almog he wrapped his arm around her pulling her in tight as they began to walk away…

"JULIET!" Dax called. She turned back to him.

"Trust me buddy, you don't want none this, consider yourself lucky we're taking out the trashm," said Graham. He turned and then began to walk away. Dax struggled to still come after them but it wasn't long before they turned the corner and went down a small alley way.

"We should hurry," said Spiri. "The police might come,"

"I say we have a good half hour before they start to rally," said Avory, "What with Dax's house being on fire and all,"

"What," said Juliet…The fire….that house….Dax's house Pearl.

She moved to get free and Graham tapped her head with the gun, "Ah ah ah…. "

Avory Pulled her in tighter as she cried, "What have you done,"

"What have I have I done," said Avory, "What have you done," He grimmaced, "This whole time I thought you were waiting for me to get out and I find you're fucking some fisher prick. You're lucky I don't kill him. You know….what fuck it," said Avory he let goof Juleit, "Graham give me the gun, I'm a go back-"

"Don't…" said Juliet, "I'm here I'm coming with you,"

"Right," said Avory, "With a gun pointed to your head…You know I love you….so much it hurts….it HURTS Juliet there isn't anything I wouldn't do for you yet time and time you just keep stabbing me in the heart…"

Her eyes glossed over, "This isn't love….this isn't love Avory...look at you look at me…..we destroy each other,"

"No….he said grasping hold of her chin, "You destroy me…." he said he pulled her into him and forced his lips on her when he pulled away he bit her lip tuggin on in. "You...drive me insane...and everything else that happens if fall out…."

"No…." said Juliet… "No…"

He grasped hold of her arms tears welling up in her eyes, "Yes….yes….YES," He yelled it in her face and she shook she strared to crumple to the ground but Graham grabbed her arm "GET UP….GET MOVING,"

She strumbled and Avory grasped hold of her hand pulling her along. She saw a few people along the way and Avory cackled, "Act naturally,"

"Right," said Graham as they walked down the sidewalk bloody and broken when they got to the docks...there was a small boat… Juliet managed to look back and see the smoke was still rising she hoped that Pearl had gotten out….that she had gotten away… How a morning could turn so….was beyond her...she'd give anything to go back to those chocolates….to know...what was going to happen and stop ot.

"STOP SPACING OUT AND MOVE!" yelled Avory. He pushed Juliet on the boat. She had a sinking feeling. She wanted to fight but couldn't risk them going back…. Even now….Spiri rushed around untying the nots. Juliet tried to put some distance between her and Avory she moved to sit on a bench on the boat and look out at the fire...was it more or less smoke..

Avory didn't let her look long. He grasped hold of her pulling her to some door's he opened then get down there… She stumbled down some steps into a small cabin she wondered where they had gotten the boat...had they rented it stole it…There was a small table Avory sat down and motioned for her to sit but she moved to the corner of the room. Spiri came down a moment later looking for a first aid kit.

Juliet felt trapped she crouched and then eventurally sat down at Spiri fixed her brother up with bandaids and oinment, He didn't take his eyes of Juliet. When Spiri had done enough Avery said, "Go upstairs…. Treat Graham...keep a look out his eyes look shot,"

Spiri looked at Juliet,

"I'll be okay," said Avory," "Go," he petted her on the head and she took the kit upstairs.

For several long minutes the two just glared at each other. Finally she dared asked, "What now,"

Avory ran his hands through his hair pulling it back, "Well I wanted to talk….but now...now...I just want to fuck," he said looking at her with emotionless eyes.

"NO," said Juliet. She couldn't believe he wanted to do it at a time like this.

"NO," he said grimacing… "YOU DONT TELL ME NO!"

"You'll hurt yourself more," said Juliet, "You're beat up,"

"I DON'T CARE…." said Avory she heard him unzip his pants. She felt sick…

"Please Avory, I don't want to,"

"You mine," he said, "You need to be reminded of that,"

"No...I'm yours fine…." said Juliet.

"If I have to get up from this table and go get you it will be worse...you know that," said Avory.

She closed her eyes...she knew…she knew….if he got up he'd beat her and then do it anyway. Still maybe she could take him….run up jump off the side of the boat...swim….or.

He pounded his fist, "NOW JULIET!"

She scrambled to her feet….She moved over to him slowly but didn't look at him… or it. She rested her hands on the table and bent slightly. He scoffed, "I'm not gonna do all the work here…I already got your ass. Take off your clothes...get on your knees and suck me off,"

"Avory," she said in protest

"Juliet," he said in the same tone.

She didn't say she pulled off her sweater, unbuttoned her shirt then unsnapped her bra...He didn't take his eyes off hers. As she undid her pants and let them drop their eyes were locked. She stepped out of her patns and sniffled. He pointed to her underwear, "ALL OF THEM!"

She took off her underwear….her eyes fell she thought he was looking at her privates but realized he was looking over her scars. She looked to his hand then he hand a finger missing.. She supposed it hadn't been salvaged….She looked away as he motioned for her to drop down.

She got down on her knees and tangled his fingers in her hair yanking her to him. He forced her lips to the tip of his head. He was hard….but she knew….he still had some ways to go. She felt like she was going to vomit but she parted her lips and took him in her mouth tell he hit the back of her throat...she gagged as he moaned… "That's right…..you take my cock in your mouth….you fucking whore."

She pulled back and then push down on him but wasn't putting anythign into it…. He could tell and dug his nails into her scalp. "Stop fucking around or I'll go upstairs and get that gun...YOU WANT TO SUCK A GUN OR MY COCK," She looked at him with defiant eyes he yanked her off him and slapped her with the hand that was missing a finger.

He placed her back on him and she closed her eyes. She knew there was no escaping this just get him up so he'd go down...She used her lips and began to move her tongue she sucked on the tip bobbing and licking he didn't look happy if anything he looked like he was going to cry. "You suck his cock,"

She didn't respond, "I BET YOU SUCKED HIS COCK,"

She just kept going she felt him grow...he yanked her off him, "Bend over the table spread yourself."

He let he got she rose and turned to the table she slowly began to bend but not fast enough. He gabbed the back of her neck and jerked her till the side of her face was flat on the table. He let the back of her neck go, "SPREAD YOURSELF,"

She moved her hands behind her spreading her lips. She didn't hear anything for a moment then, "WIDER, SHOW ME YOUR FUCK CUNT!" She spread herself wider…. "WIDER WHORE,"

She pulled herself apart as wide as she could to the point where it began to hurt. She heard him gather up spit and a second later he spit into her vaginal opening. She kept her head flat and her pussy spread… "YOUR NOTHING...BUT A FUCKING HOLE….YOU SPREAD YOUR LEGS FOR HIM DIDN'T YOU AND ANY OTHER MAN...YOU THINK YOUR WORTHY OF MY COCK YOU FUCKING DOG,"

She closed her eyes tight as she spit at her opening again. "YOUR NOTHING….YOU FUCKING NOTHING...I DON'T NEED YOU...YOUR JUST A FUCKING HOLE. A FUCK HOLE! SAY IT! SAY YOUR A FUCK HOLE!"

She didn't want to he slapped her back hard she cried out her hands slipped, "DON'T YOU CLOSE THAT FUCKING HOLE," She felt his finger he forced one and then two in her," SPEAD!" She moved her fingers gathering herself up again. He pushed his finger in roughtly deep then pulled them out. She heard him gather up spit this time he didn't spit he drissled it leaning so it fell at her entrance. She shook on the table whimpering madly she didn't want to do this...she didn't want any part of him. "NOW SAY IT. SAY IT JULIET!"

I'm a fucking hole…."

"FUCK HOLE! GET IT RIGHT AND GET IT LOUDER I WANT THE FUCKING COAST GUARD TO HEAR YOU!"

"I AM A FUCK HOLE,"

"Louder,"

She swallowed and thens creamed, "I AM A FUCK HOLE,"

He chuckled, "You nothing but…..your nothing BUT A HOLE...A FUCKING WHORE...SLUT CUNT OF A HOLE!"

She felt him move in then felt him slap himself on her but cheek before he rubbed his member at her entrance he kept it there, "YOU DON'T DESERVE MY COCK!" He pulled back and she got scared he was going to do something else. "YOU DON'T DESERVE ME!" She could hear him pumping himself up. "YOUR NOTHING JULIET….NOTHING BUT A HOLE TO BE FUCKED AND YOU DON'T EVEN DESERVE THAT!"

He began to pace manically she loosned her fingers and he ran up on her. "DO I NEED TO TAPE I OPEN." He shoved three fingers in at once and she cried out, "AHHHHH. Her feet squirmed on the floor as she struggled letting go he got mad hitting, punching her back, SHUT UP AND SPREAD SHUT UP AND SPREAD!"

She screamed but he wouldn't stop hitting her he forced his finger inside her so roughtly she felt like she was going to rip. She scrambled pulling herself open wide. He pulled his hand out and then spit at her again, "FUCKING CUNT CAN'T EVEN HOLD YOUR OWN HOLE OPEN!" He groaned and then she heard him move he grabbed something out of his pants a ciggette and a lighter…. She listen to him light it and smoke. For several minutes he just stood there staring at her and smoking. When he was done he said, "Maybe I should use your hole as an ash tray...considering you've been letting just anybody dump shit in it,"

"NO PLEASE…."she scaremed, "PLEASE V!"

"YOU DON'T GET TO CALL ME THAT ANYMORE! You left me...YOU CONTINUED TO LEAVE ME...I HAD TO GET YOUR ASS BACK! I'm not V to you…. Not anymore…. He drew in closer she turned to see he had the cigarette up. "DON'T LOOK AT ME!" he shouted she closed her eye sand turned away, "That's right you fucking hole… I loved you once Juliet…..BUT NOW….NOW I REALIZE I ONLY LOVE IT! YOUR HOLE IS THE ONLY THING I WANT FROM YOU NOW AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE I WANT IT ANYMORE...NOW THAT IT'S USED AND ALL!"

He drew in closer, "Please….please don't hurt me,"

"WHY YOU HURT ME! YOU HURT ME HOLE!"

"Please…...I'm sorry, I'm sorry,"

"FOR WHAT!" he said. "Do you even know,"

"For….for…" she "For everything,"

"Be specific hole," said Avory. Suddenly she felt ashes fall on her but cheeks. She jerked fearing he was really going to do it.

"I will if you don't answer…."

"I….I'm sorry for...leaving you….for fucking some other guy for," her mind raced, "For hurting you, for cutting you fingers off,"

He tapped his foot, "For losing your children,"

He stopped tapping, "I'm sorry for not being worthy of your cock,"

Everything was quiet then….he stood there and she was scared. She tried to keep going, "For the words I said for, for for… for making you sad and angry and for not opening your letter. She felt him press up against her but…. He leaned over her and then moved a hand to the table the cigarette was in it he was putting it out on the table. She relaxed only for a moment but that moment was quickly torn away as he tore into her. He entered hard and fast...she was dry even with his spit from leaving herself open. She screamed out she no longer held herself open but he didn't care. He jumped pinned her to the table and took what he wanted jerking into her. He didn't say a word...grunting and breathing roughtly. She cried out begging for him tos top….for it to stop. He pumped into her without mercy her body breaking under him the table even creaked with the weigh of them both.

He clutched her hards and hard grinding himself into her. She thought he was going to break her...to smash her into nothiness she stopped fighting stopped screaming as he jutted into her she shut down every part of her shut down as she focused on the booth seat of the table he was fucking her on. She saw a tear in the cushions a rip….and she focused in on it as she heard him jut and stammer...MINE...MINE….MINE….MINE...UH...UH...MINE...MINE...MINE...MINE. He just kept hissing it over and over again….as he raged inside her until finally he came….She felt something she didn't know if it was blood or him….He stayed in for the longest time clinging to her like she were is prized possesion she just kept staring at the cushions. He pulled a ciggerette out of his pocket and lit it smoking. After a minute or two she cried out as he put it out on her ass…. She screamed as her flesh burned, "Let it be a reminder to you HOLE….of what you ARE YOU ARE MY HOLE...OR...A FUCKING ASH TRAY!"

He pulled out of her then, She didn't move as his semen spilled out of her and drizzled down her legs. He got dressed without another word and went up top. She stayed hunched over frozen in time for the longest...She didn't want to feel didn't want to exists outside trying to pull deep within herself. Eventually her knees gave way….and she had to move her body stiff and broken. She crumpled up on the floor.

A/N- 

I'm up super late...this short kind of came on around 6 ish I was making pizza eating pomagranate seeds and I was like hmm...My fingers were super sticky on the kepboard. I burned some pizza...and....yeah lost track of time. I wanted to at least get one more short out before the years end. I have done a few other shorts but was like oo I want to turn this into a book...so I haven't posted those. Some shorts do have a chance to become a book. I'm aware some shorts have been requested for books. If you check our mega list it should show their status. 

Also Spiri is Satu and not Gigi. Satu has had several lives where she has been Urel's sister. Orginally it was Urel, Eyo, Satu for three that would go around causing havoc. Then Gigi came along and Satu became more like her henchmen/henchwoman.

Anyway YAY LAST SHORT 2021!!!
