"gwen, wake up."

gwendolyn shuffled in her sleep.

"wake up, ma fleur," they whispered.

gwendolyn moaned. "get away from me, scarlett. the only thing i want is food."

"so you don't miss me? is that what i'm hearing?"

hold on. gwen sat herself up from the floor and rubbed her eyes.

"karla!" she squealed. the said girl wrapped her arms around gwendolyn, pulling her in her lap.

they were trapped by their arms entangled with each other, their bodies pressing against one another. in a rushed frenzy, karla's hands found their way into gwen's hair, and her eyes closed fully.

gwendolyn swore she felt something drip in between her thighs.

"my girl," karla grinned. "i found you."

as soon as they finished kissing, gwendolyn examined her girlfriend's clothing. although the texture looked like snakeskin, the black bodysuit had a plastic-like shine.

the suit left no room for imagination, every single curve and muscle of karla's emphasized for gwen's eyes to take in.

she wasn't complaining, though.

the utility belt stuck to karla's figure, but further down on her leg contained an ebony gun. gwendolyn shivered. maybe they wouldn't have to use it.

"i really did miss you, sunshine." gwendolyn sighed, kissing karla on the forehead. "i... i didn't think i'd see you again."

"this won't happen again, baby." karla set her hands around gwen's waist. "believe me. but first, we need to get out of here."

gwendolyn bit her lip. "scarlett said she'd come by to give me my 'dinner' in 30 minutes."

"it's been longer than 30 minutes," karla sighed. "for now, let's get a good place to hide at."

"i mean there's the closet," pointed out gwen." it seems big enough for both of us."

from the floor, the lovers piled into the closet. considering the size of the room, it appeared excessively small. and from what gwen could see, karla's head almost hit the wardrobe ceiling.

there was just enough room for them not to be smushed entirely onto one another, but if they wanted to get closer, they easily could. a small light illuminated the room, allowing them to see.

"the moment she walks in here," karla spoke, pressing on her ear, "i'll attack her."

gwen bit her lip. "oh... i see."

"ezra says not to be too nervous. she's not as bad as she seems."

"how do you know he said that?" gwen challenged. 

karla chuckled, then tapped the side of her ear. "he's connected to my earpiece. he's heard everything so far."

under the dim lights, gwen felt her face flush. "e-even us... uhm... kissing?"

"sorry, my love. the mics pick up everything," karla purred, enfolding her arms around gwen's waist. "you want him to hear us again?"

"no," gwen stammered. "i just want to see him again."

"he'll be happy to see you too." karla's slight smile slowly slipped off her face. "but we have to get out of here first."

gwendolyn nodded. "what do you want me to do?"

"stay right here in this closet in the meantime," karla instructed. "but i need you to take this."

the mafia boss reached into her suit pocket and handed gwendolyn a small silver gun.

"i know you don't like the fighting part of this but just in case if it's needed, take it." karla instructed. "i will die before anything hurts you, ma fleur."

"sunshine, don't say anything like that. please." gwendolyn set her hands on karla's chest and kissed her.

"i don't say anything i don't mean, baby." karla smiled against her lips. "stay here and stay safe."

and with another tight hug and kiss; karla left and shut the closet door.

leaving gwendolyn sitting in the closet's dim light, alone again.

"alright karla, you ready?" ezra asked.

"i'd rather just get this over with," karla muttered. "besides, i smell something foul. that has to be her."

and right as she said that the bedroom door handle started to twist open. karla sighed and cracked her knuckles. nothing better than the skin on skin.

once this bitch walks into this room, karla thought. it's over.

good riddance.

at last, the door opened. and of course, scarlett's big mouth couldn't stay shut.

"gwennn, my darling!" scarlett called. "i've made a special of mine— waffles! you'll love them, believe me."

karla's nose wrinkled. it smells like absolute garbage.

scarlett kept on walking further in the room, back still facing karla. "gwendolyn? you here, hun?"

while scarlett wasted her time on pointless calling, karla started to walk behind her, only a few feet behind. every turn scarlett made, karla followed suit. for a minute or two, the area stayed deadly silent.

but finally, enough was enough.

overwhelmed with the anger pulsing in her body, karla charged at scarlett; wrapping her hands around her throat.

"the fuck?" scarlett choked out, dropping the plate of food.

karla sneered. "sorry, did i scare you?"

"fuckin' bitch," gasped scarlett. "get off!"

the redhead shoved her elbow back into karla's stomach and swept her leg behind karla's— knocking her to the ground.

karla's head narrowly missed the ground as she held it up against the carpet, yet it felt like a hole was punched through her stomach.

light work.

her fingers found their way into her side pocket— scrambling for a dagger to use. yet scarlett yanked open a bedside table and drew out her weapon of choice.

a gun.

scarlett crept closer to karla and eventually found herself sitting on her lap; right above her dick.

"doesn't this bring back old memories?" scarlett sighed, trailing the gun down karla's neck. "us together?"

karla felt goosebumps shiver against her skin. "sure, of course it does."

scarlett grasped karla's chin, moving so close that her breath brushed against karla's face.

"oh honey, there's a reason why it's a memory." karla started, closing the distance.

"it's in the past."

the mafia boss slammed her knife into the redhead's side, grabbing scarlett's wrist with her now free hand. scarlett's mouth propped open— silent from the initial stabbing and not a single breath left.

karla then yanked the knife out and stabbed a new hole into the kidnapper, emitting a gut-wrenching scream from her.

god, did it feel good.

the blood from scarlett's open wound dripped onto karla's hand and down onto the white carpet.

karla tossed scarlett off her, wrapping her hand around scarlett's wrist with the gun.

"get off!" screamed scarlett. she kept her grip firm on the gun, squeezing the trigger."i'll fucking kill you."

BAM!

the air rang silent after the shot, almost settling the room into complete stillness. the bullet had flown past karla's shoulder and right into the wall behind her.

BAM! BAM!

cracks from the gun continued to fire at karla. yet with each shot karla, agile and focused; dodged every shot with a dancer's grace.

scarlett now stood on her feet, grasping her side while shooting to keep karla away. but the more bullets she shot, the fewer times she hit karla— resulting in her running out of bullets.

the gun's empty clicks filled the room, and with that split second of vulnerability; karla aimed for scarlett's chest.

the knife sliced through the air but scarlett twisted her body in time, the blade scraping her shoulder.

yet she did not back down. again, the two women lunged at each other, the gun discarded and thrown onto the bedroom floor.

scarlett slammed her fist into karla's face, making her eyes water for a split second.

"you're funny, scarlett," karla stated.

scarlett continued to punch karla— although each punch was defended. "what?

karla's eyes focused behind scarlett's injured figure. "you're about to get shot by my girlfriend, dumb ass."

BAM!

the mafia boss easily dodged the bullet and watched as scarlett's eyes widened. the redhead's body crumbled to the ground, gasping for air.

"gwendolyn, you fucking—"

karla slammed her foot down onto scarlett's back, right where she had been shot. "shut it. don't ever talk to her like that again."

soft footfalls of gwendolyn's feet hurried to karla. "d-did i get her right?"

"you did perfect," karla sealed her lips to gwen's. "my pretty girl."

gwendolyn enveloped karla in a hug. "what... what are you gonna do next?"

"she's not dead. i'm not done with her yet," karla kissed gwen again. "miles taught you good."

"can we just go home now?" gwendolyn sighed.

"ezra's on the way, love. i'm not done with this piece of trash yet."

and she wouldn't be done with scarlett for a while.
