My Blood Lines Are With You
Strike Two
I laid down in the bed of my hotel room smiling at what I had come up with. A brick through the window was only the first thing. If she doesn't get the message by the next time I strike, then she will deeply regret it. I think I'll wait a few days before giving her another warning.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's been about 6 days since I had thrown that brick through the window and when I drove by the house, I seen she had already replaced the window I had broken. Tonight I'm taking it up a notch...I drove out into the country and grabbed a sheep from a farm and killed it and drained the blood from the carcass before putting into the back of my truck and making sure to put down the bed cover. I drove around with that damn thing in my truck all day long making sure it wasn't smelling before nightfall actually came. I parked down a little ways from the house watching and waiting for all the lights to go out in the house.
It was almost 3 in the morning when the lights in all the rooms went out and I drove up beside her driveway and pulled the dead animal out of the bed of my truck. I grabbed the bucket of blood as well and drug everything up to the front of her house and beginning to write her another message.
Strike 2...You won't like what I do next.
I took the dead animal and hung it on the front door and split it from its chest to the legs letting its intestines spill onto the front of the steps and I slit the beast's throat and cut out its tongue and eyes before going back to my truck and parking down the street but far enough away where I could see anything that went on but she wouldn't be able to see me.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ROXY'S POV~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up to the most horrendous smell I had to ever fill my nose and I sat up in bed keeping the bile from rising up into my throat. What the fuck could be making a smell like that? It certainly wasn't the sewer systems around here so what else could make such a dreadful oder? I suddenty heard a scream and I jumped out of bed and ran out of my room finding Lee standing in front of the door holding her stomach. I was fixing to speak but I seen the animal strung up on my door with its chest and stomach split open and its innards laying on my concrete steps. It took everything I had to not puke everything that was in my stomach. I stepped carefully around the intestines and looked at the front of my home.
All around my door was soaked in blood that was just now beginning to dry and another threat was on the other side.
Strike 2....You won't like what I do next.
I yelled into the house for Lee to call the law and it didn't take as long for the cops to get here and get statements from up again along with a bunch of photo's. One cop had someone from the Health Department come over and clean up everything and I was really grateful. I would never have been able to wash or clean any of that shit off my house without having to stop and take a breather.
After everyone had left and everything was cleaned up outside, I went back into the house and sat down on the couch in the living room not wanting food for a while. The smell was still clear in the house and it would take days before we could get it to smelling fresh and clean in here again. I just want to know what's going through the mind of Roe. This is sick and twisted and demented beyond reasonable thinking.
"I think they guys should know what's going on...Maybe they can help in some way."
"Lee...I don't want anyone involved and I'm sure as hell not getting them involved for them to somehow get hurt in all this...And Skylar...what would happen if Roe got ahold of him?" I said shaking my head. There would be no way I would let that bastard get anywhere near Sky. He even thinks about touching one hair on that kid's head and I will hurt him worse than he did me.
"Maybe you're right but I think they should still know."
"I know...God I can't take this smell any more. I'm going to get some heavy duty air freshener." I said getting up and walking into the bathroom down the hall and grabbing some Lysol and Oder Eliminating Fabreeze and started spraying the atmosphere with the Lysol and Fabreezing the furniture.
It would take a lot of lysol and Fabreeze to actually get this stench out but so far everything is actually smelling better. After a good 2 hours of spraying down everything in the house, even my closet and clothes, I was finished and used at least 3 bottles of each of the disinfectant and Air freshener. I was about to go into the kitchen and make me something to eat when my phone started ringing. I didn't even bother looking to see who it was.
"Hello?" I said in a frustrated kind of way.
"Hey Roxy! Why do you sound frustrated?" Oh hell it's Brian.
"No reason Brian...I get cranky when I haven't eaten anything."
"Oh I see. Anyways the reason I'm calling is to ask if you'd like to go and grab a bite to eat while I'm taking a break from recording some guitar solos?"
"Sure...I could eat a fucking horse." I said laughing.
"Alright cool. I'll pick you up...say in 10?"
"Sure I'll be here waiting." I said smiling before we said our goodbyes. I hurried up my room and grabbed some clothes from my closet and hopping into the shower to have myself smelling somewhat better than I do.
I think a 5 minute shower was the fastest I've ever taken but I had to get clean before going out to lunch with Brian. I really didn't want to be smelling like a goddamn rotting animal corpse. I ran a quick brush through my hair and slipped on my converse before heading back down the stairs as I heard a knock at my door. I hurried to the door and opened it to reveal Brian.
"Come on in Brian...I'll be just a few more minutes." I said stepping aside.
"It's good to see you too." I laughed and shook my head as he came into the house and going into the living room where Lee was sitting watching TV. I went into the kitchen and grabbed my wallet that sat on the counter beside my keys and I hooked my chain to my jeans and placed my wallet into my back pocket and jammed my keys into my front pocket along with my phone. I left the kitchen with my hair still a little damp.
"You ready to go Bri?" I asked and he nodded saying a quick goodbye to Lee and I told her to call me if she needed anything. Brian and I left the house and got into his car and he drove us to a small diner that I had been to before and we went in once he parked the car.
We were seated in no time at all and a waitress came to the table and took down our drink order and placed menus in front of us. I kept it on the table and opened it and trying to decide what sounded the most appetizing to me.
"So were you cleaning today or something? I mean your house smells like its been disinfected within an inch of its life."
"Yeah...I had this sudden urge to clean something and once I get started it's hard for me to stop." I said laughing as I closed the menu.
"It sure did smell like it. How have you been?"
"I've been pretty good. What about yourself?" I asked taking a sip of my sweet tea.
"I've been good for once. Can I ask you something Roxy but if you're uncomfortable about talking about it...I won't pressure you into telling me."
"Shoot." I said smiling but it faded once he looked down and then back up at me.
"Roxy...The day you had the little barbeque at your house, I notice some bruises on your chest. I couldn't help but look and I know they're not from a fall or bumping into something." I looked away from him and picking up my drink again.
"Well...to tell you the truth, I knew someone would end up seeing them and asking about it. When I left Huntington and went to Arizona to go to that school, I met a guy there. I thought he was funny, cute, kind, and caring...but after I graduated from there and got my license to work on motorcycles...he changed. He sucked me into a world full of good and witty words. He said a woman shouldn't be working in a man's profession but he never would go out and attempt to look for a job. When I refused to do something that he didn't want me to do...he would hit me. Lee was the first one to notice the bruises and she helped me save up enough money to get back here to you guys. I still ask myself why I got into such a damn predicament with him." I explained only to stop when the waitress came back to get our orders.
"Rox...anyone could have been fooled."
"Yeah I know but why me? I mean...well you know everything that my father had done." I said looking down. I felt his hnd go onto mine and gently squeeze it.
"I wish I had the answer to that Roxy but I don't. All I can say is at least you got away from him and he won't harming you anymore." I wish I could tell you about the incidents at my home. I said to myself as I looked up at him.
The waitress came back to our table with what we ordered and we ate while making some idle conversation about eveything and anything. I was actually having a great time just being alone here with Brian. He's been the greatest guy I've known in my life and I guess that's why I like him a lot but I'm still not sure if I should just jump back into another relationship after what's happened. We finished eating and our waitress set the check on the table and took our empty plates. I reached into my back pocket bringing out my wallet but Brian placed his hand on mine.
"I got this."
"Come on Brian. I can at least pay for my half of the bill." I said pouting.
"Nope. I invited you out to lunch and I will be paying." He got up from the table grabbing the check and going over to the register to pay. I pulled out a 5 dollar bill and placed it under the bottle of ketchup and put my wallet back into my pocket.
I looked over at Brian as he was counting out the bills from his own wallet and the girl behind the register looked at him seductively but he paid her no mind. I couldn't help but smile and stare down at his ass. Goddamn his ass looks so fucking good in his tight jeans. I said mentally and a smile creeped onto my face. I looked back up at his face as he turned around and motioned me over. I got out of the booth and went over to his side where he slipped an arm around my shoulders and I put my arm around his lower back. We walked around on the pier for a few minutes before he had to get back to the studio. He took me back to the house and I was about to get out when he grabbed my hand. I looked at my hand and he leaned over and kissed my cheek.
"I enjoyed your company today. Would you like to go out to lunch again tomorrow?"
"Sure." I said smiling.
"Good. I'll be here around noon." I nodded and he pecked my cheek once more before letting me get out. I went up to the front door and watched him back out of my driveway and wave to me as he sped down the road.
I touched my cheek and I could feel a tingling sensation all through my body and I just couldn't get the smile to disappear from my face as I walked into the house. Lee was still in the living room watching Ridiculousness and laughing her ass off. I sat down beside her and she asked me a million and one questions about how the lunch went with Brian. I told her I had told Brian about how Roe would beat me but I didn't once give him the hint that all these threats, warnings, or whatever they are was going on. Besides finding a dead animal strung up on my front door and a message written in blood on my house, today was a fairly good day.
