Prologue
Venom
One Month Ago . . .
“I thought they’d never leave,” Nikki cackles against the booth, smiling deviously like the devil would if he were here in the flesh.
“It’s been too long since we’ve had a girls’ night, and we sure didn’t need those assholes coming over here, ruining our time,” Faith adds, handing shots of tequila off to Nikki and me.
We’re a few blocks away at a local bar and while the night started out great, shortly after getting here a group of guys came up and tried to flirt with us. The first thing they asked about were my tattoos and hair, then they asked Nikki about the leather get up she’s always wearing, and after a couple of minutes passed by, they asked if Faith was the innocent one of the bunch. I don’t think we could’ve rolled our eyes hard enough, but, this is the type of shit that happens when the three of us leave the club for a night out.
“To girls who back each other up, badass bitches, and friendships that never die,” I declare while grabbing my shot glass and the other two do the same.
“Shit, I’ll drink to that,” Nikki adds.
“Hell yeah,” Faith comments.
The three of us clink our glasses together and throw back our shots. I don’t know about them, but the tequila burns my throat and settles deep in my stomach. It’s been one of those weeks where I need the alcohol to make up for everything I’ve been feeling. Regret’s been plaguing my mind with its best friend, known as shame.
Demons from my past . . . they just can’t seem to leave me alone.
Every night I’ve gone to bed and I’ve seen the same thing flash before my eyes. The same horrors, the same fear, but most importantly the same mistakes.
Inhaling through my nose, I push those thoughts at bay and keep myself in the present moment, with two of my closest friends. Nikki, who’s a clubwhore at the Iron Vex MC, and Faith who’s one of our bartenders. My reality is, I’ll head to sleep tonight and I’ll end up seeing the same thing I’ve been seeing for the past few weeks. Back then I didn’t think I had any other options, but now I know I did. Now I see there could’ve been a multitude of ways for me to get out of that situation, but I was too blinded by fear to even see the other paths I could’ve ventured down.
For what I think is the next hour we have numerous drinks and end up on the dance floor shaking our asses to old school Britney Spears. The three of us end up getting back into the booth and guzzle down some water while Nikki checks the time. “Shit, it’s already been five hours since we got here,” I comment to myself, and Faith breaks out into laughter.
“I’m only laughing so hard because we were so desperate for a break that the time flew by,” Faith says, continuing laughing.
“We don’t really get out much,” Nikki speaks up and she’s right. We really stick to ourselves for the most part. With the cult still out and about, none of us really feel safe going out alone, especially as women. Hell, Faith was kidnapped a couple years ago by the
