"Take some time off relax enjoy yourself"

As Xhex allery of antique furniture, she walked out of the bedrooain And back once more into marble-landia

In the bath she and John now shared, she stopped by the pond-deep Jacuzzi Next to the brass faucets, there was a silver tray with all kinds of lotions and potions and girlie what-the-fuck And that wasn&039;t the half of it By the sinks? Another tray, this one full of perfume by Chanel: Cristalle, Coco, No 5, Coco Mademoiselle Then there was the fine wicker basket of hairbrushes, some with short naps, others with pointy bristles or spiky metal crap In the cupboards? A lineup of OPI nail polish bottles in enough variations on cocksucking pink to give even Barbie a nosebleed As well as fifteen different brands of mousse Gel Hair spray

Really?

And don&039;t get her started on the Bobbi Brown makeup

Who the hell did they think had moved in here? One of those Kardashian nut jobs?

And on that note Christ, she couldn&039;t believe she no Kim, Kourtney, Khloe, Kris; the brother, Rob; stepfather, Bruce; little sisters Kendall and Kylie; as well as the various husband(s), boyfriend(s), and that kid Mason -

Meeting her own eyes in theShe&039;d ed to blow her brains out with E! Entertainment Television

Certainly less messy than a sawed-off, and the results were the sa label on it"

As she stared at her reflection, she recognized the buzzed-off black hair, and the pale skin, and the tight, hard body The clipped nails The absolute lack of makeup She even had her own clothes on, the black muscle shirt and leather pants a uniforht for years

Well, except for a couple of evenings ago Then she&039;d worn sooas the reason for all the fe cereen may have assumed she&039;d turned over a new leaf Either that or it was all just part of the standard, newlyaway, she put her hands up to the base of her throat, to the big, square diaht her Set in sturdy platinuine wearing: tough, solid, able to withstand a good fight and stay on her body

In this neorld of Paul Mitchell, and Bed Head, and Coco&039;s stinky stuff, at least John still got her As for the rest of them? Can you say "education"? Not the first tiht that just because you had breasts, you belonged in a gilded cage Anyone tried to turn her into a glyold bars, set a bo re into the bedrooown that she&039;d worn during that ceremony Only dress she&039;d ever put on - and she had to admit she&039;d enjoyed the way John had taken it off with his teeth And yeah, sure, the nights lounging around had been great - first break she&039;d had in forever All they&039;d done was have sex, feed froreat food, and repeat with bouts of sleep

But now John had gone back out into the field - whereas she wasn&039;t due to start fighting until to

This was just twenty-four hours, a delay, not a dead end

So what the hell was her probleering her inner bitch for no good reason She wasn&039;t cooped up, nobody was e herself, and that Kardashian car accident of a marathon on the boob tube was her own da to be nice, in the only way they kne

Not a lot of females like her And not just because she was half sy, she cranked her head around

Letting the satin fall frorid that was outside in the hall

With her symphath senses, the three-dimensional structure of sadness and loss and sha you could drive by, look around, or walk through Unfortunately, in this case, there was no fixing the dae to the supports, or the hole in the roof, or the fact that the electric system wasn&039;t operational anymore: As much as she experienced a person&039;s emotions as if they were a private ho workers to co, no plumbers or electricians or painters for this shit The homeowner had to perform their own improvements on as broken, battered, and busted; no one else could do it for them

As she stepped out into the hall of statues, Xhex had a treain, the robed, liure up ahead was her mother

God, that still felt weird to say, even if only in her head - and it didn&039;t really apply on so many levels, did it?

She cleared her throat "Good evening ah"

It didn&039;t sound right to throw out mahmen or mom or mommy No&039;One, the name the feain, what could you call somebody who had been abducted by a symphath, violently forced to conceive, and then trapped by biology to bear the result of the torture?

First and last name: I and Sorry Middle name: Am

As No&039;One shifted around, the hood that was in place covered her face "Good evening How fare thee?"

The English was stiff across herthe fee And the bow that she gave, which was utterly unnecessary, was lopsided, likely because of whatever injury that caused the uneven gait

That scent she threw off was not anything by Chanel Unless they&039;d recently added a Tragedy line

"I&039;?"

"To tidy up the sitting rooo-there Fritz didn&039;t let anyone but fellow doggen lift a finger in the mansion - and No&039;One, in spite of the fact that she had couest roo at the table with the Brothers, and accepted here as the mother of a mated shellan She was not a maid by any standard

"Yeah, ah how&039;d you like to" Do what? Xhex wondered What could the two of thehter Her round there

"It is all right," No&039;One said gently "These are aard - "

Thunder roared through the foyer below, sure as if clouds had for flashed, and rain had started to piss down As No&039;One recoiled, Xhex glared over her shoulder What the hell was -

Rhage, aka Hollywood, aka the biggest and most beautiful of the Brothers, all but leaped up onto the second-floor balcony As he landed, his blond head shot around in her direction, his teal eyes on fire

"John Matthew called It&039;s all hands on deck don Get armed and meet us at the front door in ten minutes"

"Hot damn," Xhex hissed as she smacked her palms

When she turned back to hernot to show it

"It&039;s okay," Xhex said "I&039;et hurt"

Nice words Except that wasn&039;t what the fe fear of Xhex

Duh Given that she was a half-breed syerous" before "daughter"

"I&039;ll leave you alone," Xhex said "Don&039;t worry"
