Baby bullets
"Why hurt someone who's only intention was to love you?"
~ 1 year, 2 months ago ~
{ Vivienne }
"Your father?" I asked
"Yeah" he said, sitting down on the sofa, the photos scattered around his boots
"So, you could be my brother?" I asked with a scrunched up face.
I didn't come here for a brother. I came to make Lord bleed
"If anything you say is true, or you have any proof" he countered
"Ew... I could have a brother" I said to Sugar, turning round.
"Great baby" he sighed, holding his shoulder
I pouted at him
"I am sorry sugar" I said, he nodded
"I know doll. Still hurts like a bitch though" he groaned
"So?" The guy asked
"So what?" I asked back.
"So, what evidence do you have that he's your dad?" He asked
I rolled my eyes
"Woman's intuition" I offered, he gave me a look
"Fine" I sighed, sitting opposite him
"There's this" I said, pulling the photo out of my pocket and putting it on the table.
"That's..." he trailed off
"Yeah, your prick of a father... but he's with my mother so-"
"N-no... that's- that's my mother" he said
I chuckled
"No. That's my mother" I said.
He rummaged through the photos in the box by his boots
"Look" he said, handing a photo over
It was that baby Lord was with in other photos
But in my mothers arms, in a hospital.
"No... no way... that's bullshit" I said standing up
"No, it's my mother, when she gave birth to me" he said
"Which was when?" Sugar spoke up
"1993" he said.
"27" Sugar mumbled, looking at me as he thought, I shook my head
"She can't be your mother alright. She just can't! She had me. That was it" I said
"Evidently not baby" Sugar said
"Don't" I said.
I didn't need him believing this shit
I was an only child
I could accept Lord being my father
I wouldn't put it past that bastard to knock someone up and abandon the kid
And I could accept this guy was my half brother at least.
But my mother wouldn't have kept this from me
She just wouldn't of. We were close. She wouldn't lie to me
"Dad said she died though. A few years after I was born... cancer" he explained.
"Well she didn't. I don't know who your mother is or what happened to her, but we're not one in the same" I said
"Doll-"
"No, my mother wouldn't have lied to me! And she certainly wouldn't have left a child! He's older, so that would of meant she took me and left him, she wouldn't do that" I said.
"I know bu-"
"There's no buts! She wouldn't. Do. That" I insisted
"Look I can only tell you what dad told me" he spoke up. Fuck what is this guys name?
"What's your name?" I asked
"Uh... Colt, what's yours? I'm assuming it's more than 'viv'" he said
I rolled my eyes at him
"Vivienne. Vivienne Vixen" I said
His head shot up at my voice.
"Vixen?" He asked
"Yeah?" I said, confused at his change in expression
"You're the woman dads after" he said
"Mhm, I thought it was pretty obvious by now I was here to kill the bastard" I said.
"But if he's our dad, why would you want to kill him?" He asked
"Blood doesn't stop someone betraying you, plus he killed my mother, tortured me and ruined my life so... but mainly the fact he's a prick" I shrugged.
He looked down at the photo in his hands
"So... she didn't die from cancer?" He asked
I kind of felt... bad for him?
"Look I don't know what happened to your mom. But mine didn't die of cancer, she died because Lord beat her to death" I said, crossing my arms.
I didn't like talking about it
It sent me back to those days. Those days of seeing it every time I closed my eyes, those days of being so out of my own head I didn't know who I was... what I was doing
Until I landed myself in a mental asylum.
And Lucian... saved me.
He saved me in every way a person could be saved.
"Look there's only going to be one way you know for certain" sugar said, wincing as he pulled his shirt off whilst speaking. And I had to admit, I got a little distracted just... staring at him.
"Which is?" Colt asked. If that was even his real name...
"DNA test" he said, I nodded
That would be the only way to know for certain
And I prayed to all that was holy that Lord wasn't my biological father
That this moron wasn't my brother
The only thing I couldn't wrap my head around... was why did he lie to Colt and tell him my mother was his?
"I suppose so" he mumbled
"Okay..." I nodded
"Where is he though?" I asked, I was hesitant for the family reunion but I wanted to drive a knife through Lord's neck so much.
"Like I'd tell you" he said, looking away from me
I sighed
"Do we have to do a DNA test? Can't we just kill him?" I whined at sugar
"Play nice" he said, rummaging through the drawers in front of him.
"DNA still works if they're dead" I grumbled, crossing my arms, and watching Colt's eyes widen
"Play nice, baby" Lucian warned, pulling some tweezers from the drawer
I sighed in frustration, sitting back down and glaring at Colt.
"Wait so... you shot him ten minutes ago, and now you're just doing what he says?" He asked
"She's complicated" Sugar said simply, digging into his skin for the bullet
"Rude" I mumbled
"Okay... so what do we do now?" Colt asked.
"Give me some DNA, you know, a hair or some blood... maybe an eye" I said, sizing his face up with my hands as I looked through with one eye
His face fell and his brows scrunched together.
"I'd say you seem like the sane one..." he began, looking at Sugar
Who was pulling the bullet out before dropping it on the white marble countertop
"But you both seem tapped" he said.
"We're... impulsive" Sugar offered simply, looking to me
I just shrugged
"But, I say we get DNA from both of you, you let Viv look through some of those photos, and you don't breathe a word of any of this to Lord" he explained.
I scoffed
"He's probably already on his way" I commented
"Baby" Sugar warned
"What?! It's true. He's his son baby, you think he'll be on our side in this?" I asked.
"I do" he said, standing up to sit by me
"Yeah right?" I scoffed
"You know how fucked up he is. How evil he is, and you might be his daughter, you think he's treated his son any better?" He thought out loud.
I looked at Colt, and from his reaction I think Sugar might be right.
"I'll get you some bandages" I said simply, getting up
"You don't know where anything is" Colt called out
"We searched your house, and you're dickface's son, you're going to have bandages" I said, strolling into the bathroom.
{ Lucian }
I watched her walk away. The woman's shot me and I still just want to pin her to the wall and take her... hard
Colt was staring at the floor
"You won't tell anyone" I said
"That didn't sound like a question" he replied.
"Because it wasn't. I don't know if you are who you say you are, or if you're setting Viv up for failure. But either way, if any harm comes to her I'll tear you limb from fucking limb" I said casually.
I wasn't letting Viv out of my sight again. And I wasn't letting whatever this was hurt her either
"Your house is shit" she commented, strolling back into the room, I almost smiled at her
She was just... everything.
She sat down next to me, and began wrapping my shoulder for me
The way her fingers ghosted my skin... it distracted me from the pain
"You better start pulling some hair out or something" she said, glancing at 'Colt'
"Because I'm leaving as soon as Sugar's patched up" she said, looking up at me with a stoic face, but I could see the apology in her eyes. I suppose this made us fair now anyway.
And she didn't shoot anywhere deadly.
Plus the attention she'd be giving me now would be blissful.
