The Seductress

“Are you alright?” Bill asks in concern as he glanced at her through the rear view mirror. She had suddenly gone pale. Selene tears her eyes away from the club entrance to stare at Bill.

“Step out of the car” She says coldly.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Huh? what do you mean?” Bill asks in surprise.

“Get out of the fvckin car and take a cab home, right now!” She snarls, eyes glazed over as she locked gaze with him.

Bill sees the death look on her face and nods hastily, already scared. Goodness why the the heck is she this way!?. She’d make you love and fear her altogether. Bill unstraps his belt and steps out, slamming the door shut. He ran his hand down his face and stared at the tainted window before shaking his head and walking away.

Selene hung her head low and breathe in slowly. She had thought money could make her happy, thought she could get past the stigma of the rape. And although she’s been healed, the memory still stuck to her like a leach, occupying her mind and making her insane. She returned her gaze back to the club entrance. Right now she needed someone, to cling onto and pour out the tears she’s been bottling up for so long. Needed someone to love her and maybe take her out of this mess she’s stuck in. But she’s far gone now, she couldn’t back off. She’d concentrate on taking revenge on those who had hurt her… and help those who are just as miserable as she is.

Wiping off her tears, she steps out of the car and opens the trunk. She pull out a backpack and returned into the car. Zipping it open, she pull out a loaded revolver and hoodie. She don it on and stuff the gun into the pocket off her hoodie. She kicked off her heels and slide her feet into a pair of flip flops. Selene takes out a dagger and strap it to her thighs. Now she looks like some random girl meeting up with her lover in the club. Selene steps out and strides to the club. She doesn’t know what she’s doing here but she’s just hoping she could see any of those motherfvckers. She hung her head low and tug at the hoodie cap so it could conceal her identity. She step into the club and the red flickering lights shone on her. The music is so loud she could barely think. Selene ambles to the bar and sit on one of the high stools.

“White wine” She tells the barman, avoiding eye contact. The tatted barman nods and turn to fix the drink. Selene eyes roams around the club, checking every single corner of the large club but there are lots of men. She couldn’t just stalk to every booth to search for them. She cuss under her breath and takes the drink the barman hands her. She sip at it slowly as she continue feasting her eyes on the club. Why couldn’t she find any of those guys, why is it taking her so long to take revenge on those that hurt her. One thing she’s sure of she wouldn’t let any of them go off the hook, they’d pay dearly with their lives. She smiled sadly when her eyes stops on a blonde waitress serving drinks and smiling fakely. Yeah, she could tell she’s faking that smile. To tell the world ‘Hey I’m fine’ even if you aren’t. Her eyes follows the blondie as she serves drinks.

Dammit she had acted impromptu. Did she really expect to see any of them here, could be they aren’t regulars.

She huff and chug down the drink. She slid a couple of dollar bills across the counter and slide down the stool. It was a wasted effort. But she’d keep visiting the club. She’s certain she’s gonna find a link to them. She ambled towards the exit and had barely gone out when she stops in her tracks. She tilt her head sideways to see the blondie serving a couple of guys clustering around a table. The girl looks pissed as she poured wine into their glasses. Soon one of them was trailing his palm on her waist. It happened so fast, blondie slams the the wine glass on his head and Selene gasps.

Everyone is obviously staring as the rest guys scramble to their feet. It was then she saw them clearly. Cold shiver run down her spine as she takes a look at each and every one of them. Five in number. She had once served them, and they had once taken advantage of her. Raped and beaten her without mercy. They had also dumped her almost lifeless body in a fvckin dumpsite!.

Selene watched as the manager stalks to them and the next thing he’s yelling at her. she wipe her cheeks before taking off her apron and storming towards the exit. Selene gives way as the girl run out in tears. She couldn’t be mistaken, those guys, the way they laughed was what she couldn’t forget. She step out of the restaurant already feeling dizzy. How could she take them down. They were five in number. All she had was a gun and dagger.

Minutes later they are walking out of the club and Selene hungs her head low as she watch them. They seem to be searching for the girl. One of them cusses and they got into a black lexus jeep and drive out.

Her heart thumped against her chest and she rushed into her car and ignite the engine, trailing after them. She had this sickening feeling that they were after the girl. And she couldn’t let that happen again. She’d save the girl. She grip to the steering before stepping on the gas.

Selene slows down as she watch the car in front of her. She had trailed them for five minutes and had watched everything happen. They had caught up with the girl and had shoved her into the car before she could know what’s happening. Now they were in a almost deserted street.

The car pulls over at a large abandoned warehouse and she watch as the door opens. They step out with the girl and she’s unconscious. Selene unstraps her belt as they walk into the warehouse. It felt like she was the blondie, trying to earn some cash and now those a*sholes were about to sabotage that. She got out and shut the door before trailing after them. They’re used cans strewn across the entrance and she carefully made her way in. Their cackles of laughter drifted towards her and the shivers return. What if she can’t do this, what if they rape her and kill her for good. She push out the thoughts immediately and fist her palms. They were in a large musky room. Selene leans against the wall beside the door and peeked inside. They all had their backs to her and she hears a loud thud, then the faint groans from the girl. She slid her hand into her pocket and pull out the gun. A slap follows and the girl is whimpering.

“Trying to act all sassy huh!” One of them growls. Selene shuts her eyes briefly. Gawd! She wrapped her arm around the trigger and prepared to storm in. She stopped when she heard the guy words.

“You see, we do that to every single bitch who tries to play hard to get. We fvcked them pretty good and trust me baby, they don’t live to tell the tale” He sneers and the rest burst into a laughing spree.

“Please guys, don’t do this, I’ve got a kid brother and he’s all I have” She croak out. Selene blinks away her own tears.

“You got that wrong guys I lived to tell the tale” Selene says as she step in. It happened so fast. She shoots at the guy with the bruised temple and he falls to the floor. The rest turns immediately and before they could blink she shoots another two right at their heads and they drop down dead. Two left. She smirks at them and switch the gun to her right palm.

“Who the fvck are you!” One groans as he rush towards her. She kicked him hard and shoots him where the sun doesn’t shine. He groans loudly and falls to the floor. She’s is breathing hard as the one left hits her square hard on the mouth.

“How dare you!” He growls and punched her again. Selene doubles over as she chokes. He kicks the gun from her hand and shove her hard against the wall, pulling out his gun and pressing it to her forehead.

“One single move and you’re dead!” He growls and cocks the gun. Selene gasps for breath as he wrapped his fingers tightly around her neck. He push the hoodie off and shock crosses his features.

“Selene!” He mutters lowly, trailing his eyes down to her bloody mouth. “What the heck is the richest sexy bitch doing here!”. He blurts out in surprise. Tears blurrs her vision and her breathing is ragged. The blondie who was tied up whimpers fearfully.

“Holy fvckin jeez!” He whistled again.

“Let her go… and have me” She says icily. The guy cocks his brows and Selene sees a small tattoo on his neck. Fvck!.

“Are you some sort of undercover cop…. you’re too sexy to be one!” He drawled huskily. Selene cuss under her breath and lock gaze with him. He stared back and she smirk as she began to chant lowly. The gun drops from his hand as he parts his lips, gasping for breath.

“Fvckin cunt!” She grits and pull out the dagger, stabbing him on the neck and breaking eye contact. He gasp for breath and staggered back. She punched him hard on the face and pick up the revolver.

“Too bad you won’t live to tell your own fvckin tale!” She snarls and pull the trigger. He dropped to his knees and falls face flat to the floor. Selene wipes her mouth and spit out blood, dammit!

Her eyes stop on the girl who was bundled up at a coner in the room. She shuts her eyes when she sees a bullet wound on her arm. Selene stalks to her and loosen the ropes.

“Th… thanks so much Selene!” She croaks and stagger to her feet. Her left eye is bruised and her mouth has a split. She place a palm over the bullet wound and sobs.

“We needed cash to feed I and my darling little brother… he’s all I’ve got…. I just needed the money… I wanted no damn trouble” She sobs as she hugs herself. She’s damn beautiful with freckles on her face and a small mouth. Her skin is tanned and the gown she wore has been ripped off in several places. She looks sixteen. Selene wipes at her cheek and nods sadly.

“Yeah!… I know the feeling quite alright” She whispered sadly and cupped her cheeks. She liked the girl at that moment. Maybe its cos she has once been in this situation.

“But now… this is gonna be the end of it, you’d have all the money you ever wanted” The girl looks up at her. Selene smiles and shut her eyes. Maybe it was time to use her powers to heal.

She chants lowly as the girl stares at her closed eyes in awe. Who ever knew Selene had powers!. She was amongst those girls who loved her. She bats her lashes as the bullet falls out. Her heart thumped against her chest in surprise and fear. She watched with her very own eyes as all the bruises suddenly begins to heal. She felt something cold pressed against her cheeks, probably a ring. Selene sucks in her breath and pull away weakly. The girl looked down herself. No bruises, no cuts…. and no pains. What the fvck did she do!.

“Now you’ve seen it…. you’ve seen me use my powers. You aren’t gon’ tell any godamn soul or I’d find you, and kill you. Do you want that!?” Selene grits out. She shakes her head hastily

“No I don’t .. I promise not to tell it to the ants too” She whispered fearfully, staring at the dead bodies around.

“Good girl!” She smiled. “Now let’s get the hell out of here.”

“Huh?… aren’t the cops gonna find you?” She asks fearfully. Selene rolls her eyes and stalk to one of the men. She tilts his head and points at the tattoo on his neck.

“That’s an omerta, they belong to some fvckin mob gang…. that’s enough evidence to drop the case…. now can we go!” She straighten up and glare at the girl. She smiles and nods.

“I think so” She giggled and stalked out of the room. Selene rolls her eyes and follow suit. They got out and walk to their car.

“What we gonna do with this?” The blondie asks as she jabs her thumb at the Lexus. Selene groans internally. She’s a curious cat darn it. She throws the passenger door open and look around the car. A small bag and revolver was on the backseat. She picks it and open it, widening her eyes at the several dollar bundles tucked in neatly. Selene chuckles lowly. She slam the door shut and turn to the girl.

“Here’s about a million dollars for your trouble. It’s yours now… you earned it. Go far away with your kid brother. Start a new life, without having to worry about cash” The girl gasps as she takes it and peeked into it.

“What if the rest of the gang finds out… they are gonna come after me” She says and look around.

“Alright give it back… ” She stretch out her palm . She shakes her head immediately.

“It’s okay… I’d keep it” she grins and hug it to herself.

“I know you’re smart… go now…” Selene says with a sad smile. She blinks.

“I wasn’t wrong about you… you’re damn kind…. and a little bit sassy” She mutters and grins. Selene chuckles.

“I don’t think so girlie… now enough of the chat, get going now” She says sternly and poked her. She nods and surprises her by pulling her into a hug. Tears slid down Selene’s cheek as she hugs her back. She pull away seconds later and her eyes are blurry with tears. She turns about to run off but Selene holds her arm.

“Aren’t you gonna tell your name” She asks with an eye roll. The girl grins widely.

“Ava…. I’m Ava Gonzalez” She mutters with proud smirk.
