Psycho - Headless Horseman MC *NOT EDITED*

Chapter Forty-Two - Small Bump

"I really think you should tell her soon" Gunner speaks this time, "She needs to know" he finishes his sentence. "She needs to know what?" Harley's angelic voice comes from behind us, we all turn around and come face to face with one little angry kitten. "It was Ricci's idea" Gunner screams out, Ricci looks over to him "Snitch" He hisses at him, "I'm sorry dude but I'm not dying today over some shit like this" He replies holding his hands up in surrender.

"Well?" she asks looking over to Ricci, "I thought it would be best if the cartel captured the rest of the people that did this to you and hold them down here for you to do as you please," He says looking anywhere but Harley, "I don't want to, but you can all enjoy it," She says with a half-hearted smile, I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her, "I just ask one thing" I look down to her, "Anything kitten," I say as I kiss her forehead, "I want to watch," She says quietly, I smile and nod "Of course".

"Start from the lowest rank to highest, the lower ones usually go quickly not much of a fight, whereas closer you get to the boss the more they will take to die, save your energy you know?" Harley says as she lines up the men in their rankings. "How many group murders have you done exactly?" Gunner asks her, "Enough" Harley and Ricci reply at the same time. She finishes lining them up and moves over to one of the tables dead centre infront of the view. She jumps on it and gets comfortable before nodding her head, "Let's begin shall we?".

Harley watches all of us closely as we begin to pick them off one by one; 10 me, 9 Gunner, 8 Shark Eyes, 7 Ricci, 6 me, 5 Gunner, 4 Shark Eyes, 3 Ricci, 2 me and finally the boss. I wipe the blood from my face and untie the boss placing him infront of Harley, she moves and speaks for the first time since we began, "He's mine, don't touch him" She gets off the table and walks towards the man infront of her. She squats down infront of him and looks him in the eyes, "You see, for now, I'm not going to do anything, I'm just going to let you rot and waste away in here, by yourself, all on your own. I'm going to make sure you are fed enough to keep you alive, I am going to draw this out, I'm going to make this hurt. All the others I've killed will have come off easy once I'm done with you, do you understand me?".

Her voice is cold and coated in pure venom, he nods his head slightly and she smiles, "Good, well, for now, why doesn't someone help him back to his lovely room and I'll be back to feed you later" She says slapping the side of his face before standing up and walking away. She walks up to me and stops infront of me, "Can we go for a ride?" She asks me as she wraps her arms around my body, "Of course, let me have a shower and we will go somewhere".

........

"So where are we going?" I ask as we make our way to my bike, "A lake or something? A river maybe? I don't know I just need to run away for a bit" I take her hand in mine and give it a squeeze, "Well let's run away then". I get on my bike and Harley goes to get on behind me I kick the stand up and start the bike up before pulling out of the compound, we ride for half an hour before we make it to the river, I get off the bike and help Harley off before we make our way down to the river bank to sit on the rocks.

We sit in silence before Harley speaks "I remember most of the accident, it's still a little foggy but I get the gist of what happened. I remember singing along to the radio" She starts, she closes her eyes and begins to talk again "It was Ed Sheeran, Small Bump. I was rubbing my stomach while singing to it, then I remember the sound of tires screeching, I remember I turned my head to see headlights coming towards the passenger side of the car, the sun was just starting to set the sunset was beautiful. I remember trying to speed up before it hit me but it was too late. I remember the sound of the cars colliding, I've never heard anything like it before I thought if I didn't die I'd lose my hearing. Once the car had hit, I couldn't move, I was pinned upside down in the ditch with the other car ontop".

"I remember hearing someone get out and call someone to say that it was 'done' i remembering hearing cars pull up and hoping it was someone coming to help but they soon screeched off down the road, they must have been picking up the person who did it. After that it becomes a little foggy, the next thing I remember after that is the sound of sirens ringing in the background, I didn't think they were going to make it in time. I remember hearing the sheriff's voice and the paramedics, I remember I couldn't open my eyes or look, I couldn't speak but I could hear them. They kept begging me to open my eyes or move my fingers or toes but I couldn't, I remember wanting to scream and shout but not being able too. I remember how much my stomach hurt after the impact, I knew instantly that I had lost the baby, I mean I prayed to anyone listening that it was true but in my heart, I knew".

"It's not your fault you know?" I say looking over to her, "How is it not?" She replies while wiping the tears from her eyes. I get up from my spot and move closer to her, I wrap my arm around her shoulders "Because it was their greed, they thought that the child could have taken over the cartel since Ricci's daughter doesn't want to be in the business, they know you're the next closest thing to a daughter that he has, you weren't really a threat before but when they found out you were pregnant they thought it had sealed the fate of the cartel" She leans her head against my shoulder and looks out to the stars.

"Do you think we would have been good parents?" She asks not taking her eyes off the night sky while my focus remains on her, "Well maybe not me but you? Defiantly" She laughs and looks up to me "You would have been an amazing father Jax" I kiss her head and whisper into her ear "And you, my love, would have been an amazing mother but for now, each time you look into the night sky search for the brightest star, and that's our little girl watching over us".
