Shadow

It was just another normal day at the Bar. Even though it was just a front for my real work, I still like to come in early in the mornings and make sure everything is running smoothly. I've had lot of complaints from customers and even some of my female workers. That Charley was being a little persistent and handsy, I could not allow that to happen at all, even though he is a good worker and hardly ever late. I still want to have a good long talk with him to make sure he understands that being sexually towards the female customers and workers are not okay at all, I would fire him but I couldn't do that. I was organizing the liquors and cleaning the rims of the lids and glasses, I heard the chim of the door open. Great the morning rush is straighting which I don't mind at all, their money is what keeps the light on at the end of the day. I heard the stool move back, I watched out of the corner of my hazel green eyes. A small timid girl sat down, her head hung long not even bothering to look up. It was pretty rude to me, not wanting to make the effort to be nice. So I guess I was going to be rude huh? In my line of work, not making eye contact is rude and disrespectful. If she was on the streets she'd get shot for that, but I held back the scuff that wanted to leave my lips. I watched as her head turned back to the door, a short bald man with an ugly ass green suit walked in my bar, like he owned the f*****g place. I barley heard it but I did and I wanted to laugh but I kept it together. "Disgusting". Her small voice said, I don't even think she realized she said it out loud. Because the man sent her a go to hell look. He was about to come over but once he saw me standing behind of her, he went to one of the booths. What I p***y I thought before I cleared my throat trying to get her attention, I cleared once more before her head slowly turned back over towards me. I heard a small gasp left her pink lips, and that is all I could see. Her eyes never met mine more did she try to, her eyes just lingered on my chest and I could see she is checking me out. Great another f*****g slut I have to deal with, why can't these bembos learn I am not interested in them? "Can I help you?" I asked in annoyed voice. She was taken back by my tone, I could see she was shaking just a little. What the hell? I thought. "I-i was wondering if y'all are hiring?" She asked in a low whisper. I was even more pissed now, she came in here looking for a job, and she can't even make f*****g eye contact with me? "No, now get out I do not have time for sluts." I made sure to sound more rude then usually. Once those words left my mouth I instantly regretted them, because her head snapped up so fastly, her eyes finally met mine. Her right eye was badly bruised making her bright blue eyes stand out against her pale looking skin, her golden blonde hair fell around her shoulders. Her eyes met mine and I went slight, I was trying so hard to hold the anger I was feeling within me. I have never once felt this angry for someone before, not in a million years would I expect to care for a young lady. But hear I am now watching her, needing to protect her. I don't even f*****g know why? But I will and I won't let another bruise line her curvy body. I've watched to many times in my life where my father would beat my mom black and blue, it got so bad that I finally lost my s**t and I killed him. I killed my own father right in front of my little brother Max, I remember the rush I felt with it and I couldn't get enough of it either. It was like I craved more, I just couldn't help myself. I beat his skull in the screams of my mother echoing in my thoughts. Her begs and pleas of me to stop, but Max just held her back. Which I was greatful for i- "Excuse me sure, but I am no slut nor a w***e. It would a nicer world of you didn't judge people!" She yelled interrupting my thoughts. I watched as she got out of the stool, she was about to leave. I couldn't have that, I quickly gripped her wrist and spun her back towards me. She started to shake like a damn chihuahua, she is just so tiny and frail. I took a deep breath through my nose and released it out of my mouth trying to calm myself down before I spoke to her. I lifted my other hand wanting feel her skin under my own, I watched as she fletched she closed her beautiful ocean blue eyes. I pulled my hand back trying to control my anger that was building up in me, I cought my morning customers looking our way. Nosey ass mother fuckers! I thought, I took a deep breath once more letting go of the air. I heard a small whimper escape from her rosey lips. She slowly opened her eyes and she looked like she was about to piss her self. With the last bit of self control I had I spoke softly. "W-who did that to your face?" I asked through gritted teeth trying my best to sound calm, which I know for a fact I was not at all. She coward away once again. Boy I was f*****g hot as s**t, I could no longer control it anymore and lost my s**t, given I would never lay my hands on a woman no matter what. I took another deep breath once more before I spoke but my words came out in a yell. I mentally scolded myself for yelling at her. "WHO THE f**k DID THAT TO YOUR FACE!" I yelled, I watched as she started to sob. Her tears streamed down her face, her once pale cheeks held a rosy color. She started to shake even more then before. I calmed myself once more, I took in her appearance, my eyes flowed across her face and towards her arms. My eyes caught welts on her skin, the last of my resolve broke right then and there, I could no longer keep down my anger. With the last of my own sanity, I spoke softly. "i-im sorry I didn't mean to scare you." I said before dragging her towards the back of the bar and through the kitchen. I heard her ask to stop and let her go but I just ignored her protest and opened my office door and easily pushed her in there. Before I left I made sure she did not leave this room. "Do not leave I'll be right back, stay right here." I said before she could even protest again. I walked back to the open interest. My eyes scanned the room looking for that stupid i***t of a brother of mine. My orbs caught him flirting with a group of young college women. In a loud booming voice I yelled to him. "MAX GET YOUR f*****g ASS IN MY OFFICE NOW AND TELL CHARLIE TO HELP THE CUSTOMERS!" my loud booming voice scared the customers and Max gave them a slight sorry smile he knows something is up because I never once yelled this loud in my bar. The thought of my loud booming voice, scaring her to the core. I'm going to have to take this slowly so I won't scare her even more. I thought as I waited for Max to walk over towards me. Taking long strides his dark black hair tide in a man bun, his dark brown eyes held anger. He knows I am not myself and he knows not to push me even more then I already am. I thought as he is now standing in front of me,His right brow went up. "Whats going on, that your no longer yourself?" He asked assumed but I could tell he is pissed. He knows the difference between fun and business. "Just follow me and don't try to be um scary?" I spoke in a low deadly tone. I heard him release a small empty laugh. "Sure thing bro." He spoke, as I turned the handle, opening the door. The small frighten girl tried to run away from me, I quickly grabbed her by the waist and pushed her lightly back into the office. I looked behind me, Max gave a me 'what the f**k look' I motioned for him to come in. I walked behind my oak wooden desk and took a seat in my leather chair. Her eyes never left the floor, not until Max sat down beside me. Her eyes met his and I's, she saw anger filled our orbs. He knows what is about to happen to the sick f**k who did this to her. We normally don't get involved with relationships issues. But this lady held no sign of being in a relationship, I could tell she still had her innocence. "I'm Rex and that is my-um assistant manager Max." It's not like I could have said brother, I mean I could but that would have scared her even more. I want to try to ease her fears. "W-what do you want?" She asked the fear lanced in her voice. So I decided I would give her what she wanted, she wanted a job and if she wanted that job she would have to do something for me in return. "If you answer my questions, I'll give a job with good pay deal?" I asked her. She nodded her head yes. I would have liked a verbal response, but I could tell she was to trying to answer the question I asked before. She fiddled with her fingers. She broke the silence. "M-my father" she said in low voice, she looked over to Max. Her bright eyes went back to the floor. "Look at me." Max spoke in a deep voice. Dumbass is scaring her shitless. She shook her head no and that was all it took, Max stood up out of his chair, making it cry against the floor. She noticed this and she jumped out of her own chair and took a step back, it was like watching a cat and mouse game. Every step she took a step back he would take a large one towards her, this went on until her small back hit the wall behind her. She watched as Max lifted his hand and she fell towards the ground screaming, her knees tucked to her large chest. Her hair covering her face. Her hands acted as a shield to cover the beatings that she assumed was going to come. But it never did, I watched as my brother bent down. His knees on the floor as well, he moved her hair out of her face and spoke in a soft tone. "Hey, I'm not going to hurt you. I'm not like that at all, my boss and I are not into hitting women." Max spoke. "Leave her alone you are scaring the poor girl, let her calm down and come back over here and sit." I demand with a deadly tone towards him. He looked at me and I could see in his eyes that this reminded him of our mother and I knew then he was on board for what I have planned for this sick son of a b***h. What man could ever lay hands on his own blood, it just pissed me off even more. I took a deep breath and watched her stood up, she was heading towards the door. Her hand on the handle. "If you walk out of here, I'll drag your ass back." I said in a low deadly tone. She let out a sigh and walked back over the chair she was once in. She took a deep shallow breath, I could tell she was about to speak but her thoughts got interrupted by her phone. Fear took over her beautiful face, tears started to form in her ocean eyes. She took out her phone and before she could even answer it. Max took it out of her hand, handing it over to me. "I'm going to answer it and place it on speaker, just talk normally okay?" I told her In a stern voice, she just nodded her head and once I answered the call for her. The words this man spoke sent pure rage through my veins and I could tell Max felt the same damn way. "Skyla Oshla Walters, when I find you I swear I'm going to beat the living f**k out of you. I'm going to make sure you wont wake up anytime soon, once I get you back I swear to you my darling daughter it will be the worst you've ever had, you think the leather belt and hits were bad baby girl, oh no just you wait!" He yelled through the phone that was laying on my desk. So her name is Skyla Oshla Walters huh? I can see why that is her middle. I cleared my thoughts and back to the real reason why we are in here. Before I can answer I saw her passed out on my floor, Max tried to catch her but was not quick enough. Her head landed with a hard thud and that is going to need stitches. Damnit it to hell I yelled in my head. "SKYLA ANSWER ME NOW YOU STUPID w***e!" Her father yelled through the phone. His words broke me out of my own thoughts. I picked up the phone and it took everything in me not to yell back. "Skyla is not hear right now, and even if you wanted to talk your daughter I wouldn't allow it. How could you even call yourself a father, you beat her like a dead animal!" I raised my voice at the end. It was silent for a moment until I heard laughter over the other end of the line. " You think you can help her? Ha please she is my daughter and I'll treat her how I see fit. Give me her back so I can teach her a lesson about running away and maybe when I am done, I'll let you have her for a price!" He yelled. "Do you even know who you are talking to?" I asked through gritted teeth. "Some f*****g boy who thinks he can save my poor oh dear daughter?" He asked with an assumed voice. That was the last straw. I already know once I say my full name hell s**t his pants, because the pull I have in my hands and the power that came with it. I spoke with all the pint up rage. "My name is Alexzander Mottszo, do you know who I am now?" I asked with gritted teeth. It was quite for a moment until he broke it. "I-i could care less who the f**k you are and what your rep is. Give me back my daughter!" His voice held fear and and anger. "I'd watch how you speak to me Mr. Walters." I said with a low tone. "I'm coming for my daughter and there is nothing you can do about it!" He yelled once more before the line went dead. I got so pissed I through her phone against the wall, hearing it shatter against the wood made me realize what I have just done. Great now I have to buy her a new damn phone. I looked over to Max who was holding her in his arms, the thought of another man touching her just pissed me to my core. I quickly walked over to him and took her out of his arms. "Max get the boys ready, close down the bar early tonight and oh teach Charlie a lesson about being to handsy with the female workers and customers. Make it painful so he'll understand." I said walking out of the door and to the back door of the bar, I looked down at her head and noticed a small gash on her forehead, up that is going to need stitches. I'll call the Dr. Landon once I get her to my mansion. I can't take her to the hospital because they would have to call her father, and I could not allow that to happen. If he wants to start a war with me, then I'll be happy to finish it for him. He has no clue who the f**k he messed with, I am the monster that preys in the night, I am the hallow screams that fills your ears. I am the beast that eats your flesh, I am Grim himself, I am death at your door, I am the Shadow.
