Tornadoes and skeletons and nacho dogs, oh my

[So this is how he gets away with it, then. Cruz, a skeleton, with a skeleton horse, lives in a skeleton of a house with a skeletal barn attached - and he remains unseen, his home apparently abandoned, all the way on the outskirts of this thing that's barely a town.

Well, you do what you gotta do, and Johnnie won't turn down a kind offer of a safe place to stay the night. He can't help but grin at Chrissy having such a good time riding that bony horse as he pulls the bike in through the barn door and parks it to the side, then hops off.]


Hey man, we owe ya for this. Here.

[See, this is yet another reason it's good to stock up on alcohol. He finds their most recent stolen bottle of tequila and pulls it out as he saunters over to their host and offers it in an outstretched hand.]

On us. Uh, if you drink, that is. You do drink, right?

[Normally that would be a dumb question to ask but the guy appears to be actual bones. But, bones that can smoke, without lungs, so he can probably drink without a mouth, right?

That earns a laugh from Cruz.]


I sure do, fella. You don't have to, though. I'm not looking for any kind of repayment, just helping out a couple folks in need.

[Johnnie shakes his head and waves that attempt off.]

Nah, it's all yours. Or if you really insist, we can all split it tomorrow, the three of us an' the rest of your crew. Can't wait to meet 'em. They all skeletons too?

[She's surprisingly focused and able to get things done now. Her hands may be shaking a little, but she gets the bottles out and uses socks and underwear to get things lit. His throwing arm is a lot better than hers, but she's driven by a need to be free. That desperation enables her to really toss the makeshift molotov far, and she cheers in success as it makes contact and lights Jason on fire again.

There's a few bottles left, and two of the three are lit and thrown. She's grinning as they hit and make the fire grow larger and larger. The last one she holds onto, because she definitely spots those lights on up ahead. Maybe they can use the car as a buffer to get some more distance before they throw the last one.

Her name is screamed as Jason continues to barrel his way toward them.
]

Speed up! Maybe we can use that car up ahead to block him!

Give me your gun. If you can hold onto this bottle, I can shoot his tires. Really!

[Maybe she's not a sharpshooter, but she hit a stationary bottle during target practice once. And she's Johnnie's girl, which means he's taught her how to be dangerous and vicious if she needs to be. They're going fast, but after a shuffle of items she's able to get that gun and take aim. She hits the headlight first, which definitely isn't a tire. But the second shot, fired right after, makes contact. The tire instantly goes down, causing the car to veer out of control.

The cop inside is faced with no other choice but to swerve to a stop. As soon as he does, she tugs at Johnnie's jacket.
]

Turn around! We need to light that thing up while we still have time.

[Maybe the police officer will have time to get out and run away. Just in case, she gives both the cop and Jason the middle finger. And since there's still more bullets in the gun, she shoots at the car to try and hit whatever she can.

Jason's fully on fire now, and all of his rage and charging toward them is wearing him out. He trips on limbs that are aflame and goes sliding across the road right toward the now stopped cop car.

[This is the shot that counts, and she focuses as best as she can through all that adrenaline that's pumping through her.]

Here goes nothing!

[She shouts, sounding almost giddy as she lights the bottle and throws it as hard as she can toward the car. It goes through the passenger door and catches flame immediately, the entire car going up in big flames in seconds. Her hand presses against Johnnie's back as they watch it burn, and as soon as the fire reaches the gasoline, it's all over. The explosion is loud and rattles the entire area, but Chrissy watches with a sense of satisfaction as Jason screams in agonizing pain.

Watching him burn and flail is so satisfying that her smile is manic, almost sadistic in the pleasure she gets from knowing she's done this to him. It doesn't take any longer than a few minutes before he goes still.
]

Can you get me in close? I want to make sure he's dead.

[From in her peripheral vision, the cop starts to make his way out from where he was hiding, and is shouting at them. Chrissy barely spares a glance in his direction before firing off the last round in the gun. It grazes his knee and makes him drop down with a shout, and she's wearing that unhinged smile on her face again. ]

[One of her softer, more sweet and awestruck smiles takes over her face after hearing him say that. She wants more than anything to one day be that strong. With him, she feels invincible. They can take on anything. She leans forward to kiss at the back of his neck, even as she digs bullets out and reloads the gun.

They can build their fire. But she fully plans on shooting Jason until she feels like he's paid for all the pain and misery he put her through.
]

Someday soon, maybe.

[The bike is at a standstill now, and she hops off so she can move in a little closer. Just enough to shoot at where Jason's head might be. It doesn't really matter where she hits, she fires until she's out. Tears stream from her eyes as she does, but her glare is icy and cruel. She's not sad, she's furious. And finally she's able to help herself. There's no more running, just revenge.

So she tosses the empty gun back to Johnnie before nodding over toward the side of the road. There's brush and bushes they can drag over to add to the fire. And she definitely wants to do that.
]

Can you believe it? He's never going to find me again.

[She's giggly as she says it, absolutely ecstatic for getting rid of Jason once and for all.]

[There's a strange duality within her. He leaves her blushing and smiling, even as she's filled with a wrathful rage and a desire to watch what's left of Jason burn. That kiss he gave her was all-consuming, one of those heat in the moment kind of things that will stick with her for a long time to come.

She watches him head off, likely to find the cop, and her smile only grows as she observes. He's so protective of her, but he really helped her be able to stand on her own and get this done tonight. And she feels so free because of it. The right thing to do is let him have his fun while she focuses on keeping this fire going.

A few steps are taken before the sound of something dragging through the dirt and onto the pavement catches her eye. It's the cop she shot, trying to drag himself back toward his car like he can call for help there or something.
]

Hey babe, look over here! [She sighs, so disappointed that this guy chose to not stay hiding. He's really in for it now.] I don't think he got the message that he needs to stay down until we leave.

[To the cop, she scrunches up her nose and steps in close so she can press the toe of her shoe against him to push him back down.]

You're not going to get in the way of the fire, are you? Because that would be really rude. I worked really hard to make this!

[Chrissy sees the way the cop looks at her, and it makes her go quiet as she tries to figure out if he sees her the same way she sees Jason. If he sees her the same way all those people did when she was lost on the side of the road for a long time.

A monster.

If Johnnie sees her like that, he doesn't give any indication. Instead, he tries to empower her a little more. And she laughs at his suggestion, until it really sinks in what he's asking the pleading cop to do.
]

You want him to lick my feet?

[The cop's face is filled with something close to hope, like maybe he's thinking Chrissy will be the one to talk some reason into the situation.]

You don't have to do that. Just kiss it.

[Her smile is more amused than cruel, but she points to her foot like it's not exactly a suggestion.]

He'll cut you if you don't do it.

[All that hope goes out as they're looked at like they're the devil himself. And in that moment, Chrissy feels so powerful she almost wants to cackle. So when she brings her foot up so it roughly bumps against the cop's chin, she doesn't feel anything but like she's on top of the world.]

You want to be let go, don't you?

[The cop spits at her and she gasps, jumping in surprise. Doesn't this guy know how gross that is?]

Fuck you, bitch. [Wait, is he talking to her or Johnnie?

What happened to the begging just a minute ago? She misses that. Chrissy knows how to get leverage over that. This newfound desperate anger he's showing, she has no idea how to respond.
]
cheerleader: (0347)

[personal profile] cheerleader 2023-06-15 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
Well, now I don't want you to kiss my feet!

[Chrissy huffs, crossing her arms over her chest as she looks away.]

You're really rude and you hurt my feelings. You'll have to beg me to let you kiss my shoe.

[Her smile is definitely wicked, and she's so touched by how Johnnie stepped in and messed this guy up for being terrible to her that she moves in closer to him for a quick kiss. Gosh, she loves him so much.

Poor Aaron's face contorts in fear and disgust, but the fight seems to be out of him now.
]

Fine! Please, just don't hurt me! Let me live, and I'll kiss your feet.

[Chrissy glances back over toward him and fakes a yawn.]

I'm begging you, please! Please let me kiss your feet. It would mean so much to me if you...oh fuck, please just let me do this so he'll let me go.

[Hearing the fear in her voice makes her shiver with a feeling she can't describe. It makes her feel powerful. Invincible. She slowly extends her foot toward his face, and grins as he actually kisses her shoe. Twice. She thanks him by kicking him in the mouth and looking over at Johnnie for approval.]

I think he learned his lesson. Don't you?

[The true test will come with what happens when he goes over to the car. Because she knows that he's itching to get in there and see what he can find.]
cheerleader: (0401)

[personal profile] cheerleader 2023-06-15 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Chrissy's busy gathering up more brush to put onto the fire while Johnnie looks around. She keeps her eye on Aaron, but he's busy grasping his bleeding face and trying to figure out if it's okay to move or not. She adds what she finds to the fire, and smiles over at Johnnie as he seems pleased with what he's found.]

Good haul, baby!

[She's distracted from cheering him on by Jason's lifeless husk crackling as it catches on fire all over again. The sight makes her satisfied, and she sighs in contentment as she decides to kick that body too. It feels so therapeutic, in fact, that she decides to kick him again and again and again. Over and over, until charred chunks start falling off of him.

Screaming as she does it, those tears settle in again. The gun had been nice. But this is better. It's a real physical sign of her getting rid of him once and for all. She wipes at her eyes and keeps kicking, until she can sense Johnnie approaching. No matter what's going on around her, she'll always be able to pick up when he's nearby.

Just his presence alone is enough to quell that rage, and she gives one final kick before stumbling back and turning to go toward Johnnie.
]

Do you want to know something weird? I feel like a different person after tonight.
cheerleader: (0347)

[personal profile] cheerleader 2023-06-15 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[His touch soothes her instantly, and she's smiling by the time he kisses her. And oh, what a sweet kiss it is. It definitely feels like a turning point for her. She's capable of being soft and sweet, but absolutely vicious if she needs to be. ]

Definitely good. The best I've ever felt.

[Which isn't entirely true, because she's felt really good after sex sometimes. But this is a different kind of good, the kind that fills her heart with pride and makes her be a little more assertive as she kisses him again. The glow of the fire burns bright around them, wrapping them both up in a warm embrace.]

So I guess I can say fuck anyone that wants to mess with me. They won't know who they're messing with.

[Her nose nuzzles against his, and her arms coil around him so she can get him to sway with her a little. It's not exactly dancing in the firelight, but it's close enough that it makes her happy. Aaron doesn't even exist to her anymore.]

Did you get your new toys back on the bike?
cheerleader: (0363)

[personal profile] cheerleader 2023-06-15 03:49 am (UTC)(link)
We're really lucky that we got to.

[She has that breathy, dreamy quality to her voice now that he's kissed at her neck and has made her want to paw at him. But he's got music on and they're dancing, and that's good too.]

But I think we're lucky that we get to dance to it now, too.

[It's a sweet moment for them, nice and romantic. Inside the smoldering remains of what used to be his police cruiser, Aaron watches in horror as everything around him is on fire. As Chrissy and Johnnie move together, it only seems to grow brighter and hotter, like they themselves are a force of nature. That flame grows in magnitude as she whispers into his ear and rubs her hands along his back.]

We should find somewhere to pull over in a little while. I don't know if I'll be able to keep my hands off of you for long.
cheerleader: (0347)

[personal profile] cheerleader 2023-06-15 04:20 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yeah. We better.

[She laughs, squeezing his butt as she grinds against him in return. That makes her shiver with want as she pulls away. She leans in to steal one more kiss before she takes hold of his hand and starts leading the way back to the bike. It's been a fun, rewarding stop here in town. But she's more than ready and needy for him and wants to get somewhere they can have a little victory fun.]

Maybe we can find a good tree somewhere out here in the desert. We always really like those.

[That's teasing...mostly. She wouldn't say no to a tree right about now. But she behaves herself as they get situated on the bike, only wrapping her arms around his shoulders as she kisses the back of his neck.]
cheerleader: (0347)

[personal profile] cheerleader 2023-06-15 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
[It would be creepy out here, if it weren't for the stars and the moonlight. They make it romantic as he gets off the bike and sets right to giving her the attention that she's craving. He touches at her breasts and kisses her until she's breathless, and she has her hands all over him as she makes a soft needy sound.]

I want you so bad.

[It's not fair, how attractive and amazing he is. He's able to reduce her to a whining mess in barely any time at all. At least right now, she's able to wrap her legs around him so she can grind against him, and her hand guides his to palm at her breasts just how she likes it.]

Making me burn so hot for you.

[Her laughter is breathless as she nips at his lip, before her head ducks and she works her mouth along his throat.]
