We're going off tonight
To kick out every light
Take anything we want
Drink everything in sight
We're going till the world stops turning
While we burn it to the ground tonight
“Holy cow, talk about a walking eye-gasm. Heya, honey. You, me and a bottle of massage oil. Let’s make the world end?”
In retrospect, it probably wasn’t such a good idea to say such things out loud, where all kinds of people could hear it and take it the wrong way. Nor was it such a good idea, in that the speaker could always get herself thrown out for harassment, or just plain ‘ol being a pervert.
…Nah hell, she was never a fan of sticking to social conventions. And if she got kicked out? There was always beating on her stupid brother who refused to listen to good sense.
Aka, her advice.
Grinning from ear to ear as a fellow patron blinked owlishly at her, Imaya trotted down the gym aisle resisting the urge to snicker. It was always fun to surprise the nice looking guys; see that look of shock and horror on their faces, as they realized what the hell she was getting at. All in all, for a woman with a libido like a squirrel on crack, being in a gym surrounded by muscled, sweaty bodies was probably akin to an alcoholic swimming in Budweiser Lake. And, normally, she liked to keep her work out sessions to running away from perverted animal-zombies or playing ‘touch me and I’ll smack you’ with the local morons who passed through her mama's bar.
But when a girl gets visited by a blast from the past, claiming that Brother Dearest has skipped town, rather than talk to her? A girl just needed something to hit.
And, given that little assault charge two months ago, a punching bag was probably a good idea. Not that it was her fault, really…was it so bad to break up a bar fight by hitting the instigator over the head with a barstool? Psh, of course not.
To the naked eye, the woman charging toward a free punching bag with a vengeance, probably looked like the very last person who would frequent a gym. The clothes were about right; a sports bra, exercise shorts and sneakers replaced her usual garb. What was making a few of her fellow patrons stop what they were doing and stare, however, was probably the adornment of sparkly clips keeping her dark green streaked hair pinned back from her eyes, the leather armband reading ‘My Mama Kicked Yo Mama's Ass,’ and the multitude of bright tattoos on her arms, neck and back.
Ignoring the curious glances, Imaya made a stand off with the punching bag in front of her, glaring at the sand-filled thing as if it had sprouted a familiar head. Tugging on a pair of gloves- brand spanking new…damn, she’d left the tags on again- she squared her feet, clenched her jaw and proceeded to punch the hell out of the poor thing.
Ah, that made her feel so much better. An hour of this and some bloody knuckles, and she could ignore the fact that her twin, her brother, her BLOOD kin had freaking ran away from her for the umpteenth time.
…That, and plan out where she'd nail the bastard, next time she saw him. But for now, being calm was number one.
