Highway To Hell (Mad Max Fanfiction)

Chapter 40: Angry Heart

I'm not sure why Scrotus favored her so much. Sometimes I'd even envy it. He beat me just about everyday because I spoke up, defying him. I learned from that quickly. You wonder why I don't speak much? There's your answer. When I know something or someone is wrong I feel I should stand up for myself.

Scrotus stripped me from who I was a long time ago. Now I'm just cold. Sometimes even heartless but when I find someone i end up caring about, I will not hesitate to keep them around me. I only care about 3 people in total.

I know now that I'm strong enough for vengeance. It's time I stand up for myself and the people around me hmm. I continued to think of any strategies I had in mind. I will do anything I can to keep them safe. Even if that means losing my life.

"And if you have to do it, if he lays on fucking finger on you, I'll snap his god damn neck" I say quietly and sternly, Fury in my eyes. I want him dead anyways but if he fucking touches her I want him dead 10 times more.

"I'll go talk to Max alright?" I say getting up and searching for him. He's most likely in his garage. I look and there he is, thankfully. "Hey, look, I understand you don't want her to do this. I don't like the idea either but if it comes down to a last resort, we can't stop her." I say calmly. He looks at me, his furious eyes piercing mine. "I can't lose her..." I hear him mumble to himself thinking I can't hear him.

He cares about her, I see it. He's just as afraid as I am. "Well I can't lose her either, so we either work together on this and make sure we got each others backs or not." I say calmly but serious. He thought for a minute and nodded in agreement.

We don't have alot of options right now. I can't lose any of them. I walk back to Furiosa and Phoenix and sit back down. "I think he came around" I say, hope in my voice. I think about how mean Scrotus was even when we were younger. Why did he hate me so much? To be fair he didn't really like anyone but Phoenix. I probably won't ever understand why either. I get lost in my dark memories of Gas Town and tune everyone out.
