The next day my shift starts and it's a pretty slow day, which is pretty surprising for a Friday night. I decide to walk around since I started getting bored in the office, I make mayday around the park and I spot Cherry. She makes e ye contact with me and her whole demeanor changes, she tries not to look at me and ends up speed walking away somewhere out of sight. Then I feel someone walk up to me, it's Zeke
"I seen that"
"What?"
"Cherry can't even look at you, what happened?"
"Nothing, I don't know what her problem is?"
"Maybe she likes you"
"Doubt it"
"I think she does but anyways Sonny told me to tell you that we're doing something tonight with everyone"
"And I have to be there?"
"Well yeah you work here"
"Fine I guess"
"Alright I'll catch you later"
Zeke takes off and I head back to the office, the shift goes by quickly and when I clock out I head to the RV to change into some comfortable clothes and then walk out to where everyone is already outside drinking and partying. I walk over to a cooler and grab a soda then sit away from everyone, if I wasn't forced to be here I'd be just in the RV watching TV. Mr.hill then comes out and starts his infamous speeches and I just block it out until hear my name called
"Jay!! Get up here!"
I just look up and walk over just confused, Mr.Hill then puts his arm around my shoulder
"Alright Jay, you remember that one guy from night one"
"Yeaaaaah?"
"Well.."
He snaps his fingers and two guys bring him out, he's all beaten and bloodied. They throw him in front of me and Hill. I just look at hill and speak up
"What is this?"
"Kill him"
"What…."
"You're one of us now… it's your turn to take out one of previous trouble makers, this one we held until we felt it was the right time for you to get involved"
"You're not serious are you?"
"Oh I am… do you remember our deal?"
I just look down and know I'm fucked and there's no way out of this.
"How do you want me to do this?"
Hill laughs and puts a gun in my hand
"Since it's your first time, it can be quick and easy"
I just stare at the gun and then look at the guy who's already been beaten within an inch of his life, if I don't do this I'm going to die. I put the gun to his head and pull the trigger, ending his suffering while also saving my own life. Everyone cheers as I hand the gun back to Hill, one of the carnies runs over to the body and takes some blood that was pooling around it and smears it onto my face like a hunter would do when they kill a deer, almost like an initiation. I hold myself back from getting sick and just walk away back to my RV. Once I get inside i immediately wash my face off and just lay down in bed until I hear a knock at the door. I go to open it and it's Cherry.
"What do you want?"
She just looks at me and then just looks around nervously
"Can I come in?"
"I guess.."
Cherry walks in and sits down, I sit across from her and put my hands up
"Ok what do you want?"
Cherry stays quiet and just has trouble looking at me so I raise my voice
"IF YOURE NOT GOING TO TALK THEN JUST FUCKING LEAVE ME ALONE"
A few moments go by before she says something
"So what are we?"
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"Last night"
"What about it?"
"Well like what are we?"
"Oh my god you really are fucking crazy, I did all that to get back at you and you think it was me coming onto you"
Cherry just stares at me with a little smile
"Aside from the brand still hurting, I loved every minute of it"
I just put my head down onto the table before coming up
"Are you fucking serious?!? I sexually assaulted you"
"I enjoyed it"
"It was supposed to be revenge for what you did"
"Revenge or just playing out one of your sick fantasies"
Cherry raises her eyebrows as she says this
"Oh my god…"
"If you wanted to fuck you could've just asked"
"I just wanted to hurt you back"
"Oh please you couldn't hurt me if you tried"
"So why were you all scared when I put the gun to your head?"
"Well it was scary a little but also turned me on… I mean you didn't notice how wet I was when you put your dick in me"
"I'm done, can you please leave so I can go to bed"
"Fine, ill see you tomorrow daddy"
She walks out and I slam the door and lock it
"Fuuuuuuck!!!!"
First I had to kill someone and then I find out my whole revenge plan went to waste because this psychopath is also a damn masochist, god I just want these next couple months to be over already.
