Hells Reapers

Just the beginning

"Claire, can you grab the last of the cleaners on your way out. I think we got everything else."

I hear Keith yell from the back of the van. What a lazy slob. He's been sitting there for two hours now. Wish I was married to the owners kid. The fatty sits around barking orders all day and get paid probably more then double my wage.

I walk around the floor of the business building we're cleaning, keeping an eye out for anything left behind. Of course everything was left behind, I'm always the one picking up after everyone. I need a new job. I hate this company. I hate everyone in it. Soon Claire, after the next two contracts are done I'm out of here. The money is just too good to pass up on.

I pull the cleaning cart back to the truck with everything thrown on it. I'll deal with all that when we get back to the building. I'm also the only one that cleans out the van and restocks it. I'm all done and close up the back doors. I open the front passenger door and look at Keith. "Thanks a lot for the help, so glad I get to work with you every day." I don't even try to hide my hate for him anymore. I'm completely at the point where if I get fired from here, I'll even do a victory dance out the front door while flipping everyone of this POS's off.

He doesn't even bother to respond knowing how much I can't stand him. It was a very silent ride back to the company building, I never talk to Keith, he's one of the most creepy guys I've met, his wife is just as creepy. I really just try and avoid them both as much as possible. As soon as Keith is in park he looks at me, oh great here we go again. His daily we can come to an understanding and help you move up in the company talk. This time I'm ready for it, I pluck my phone out of my pocket and start to record what he's saying this time.

"You know Claire, there are many ways to move up in this company... I'm sure I can think of something we both can agree with." Keith starts putting his hand on my knee, ok this is new. He's never touched me in anyways before.

" What kind of understanding were you thinking of Keith?" I try to act innocent and naive. " Let's be honest, you're hot, you really need to learn to use your assets. For three years I've wanted to get into your pants now and you're really good at playing hard to get my dear. But now it's time to join us up top of the company, I'm willing to help you out. That is if you're willing to help me out. Once a week you come to my office to show me how grateful you are for the promotion. Common it's not like your life is going anywhere anyways. just take the hand out, you're used to those by now aren't you."

Is this clown for real?!? I've never taken hand outs in my life!!! I work hard for everything I have. I take care of all the bills at home, groceries are paid by me and the meals they make are cooked by me. I pay for everything. I'm the cash cow of the house as my mom likes to call me.

"Keith are you suggesting I have s*x with you for a promotion?" I try to act shocked.

"Yes Claire, I'm glad you can keep up with what's going on here." What a smug prick!

"Keith, I'm not sure your wife would appreciate this conversation between us. More so, isn't trading s****l favors for promotions again the rules." Geeze this is too easy.

"f**k the rules Claire I'm a man who gets what he wants." He slammed his fist down on the steering wheel while squeezing my knee.

I pop up my phone and show him it's recording.

" No Keith, I cannot come to such an understanding that is so below my personal morals." His face is redder then a tomato hahaha. This should make him behave for a bit. "Oh and also Keith, I really don't appreciate the physical contact you forced on me in the van, please remember that keep your hands to yourself." I'm pretty sure he's about to bust a vain in his head. What a prick. As soon as he sees me turn the camera off as I'm exiting the van he starts hollering at me. "You show anyone that you'll be finished I mean it you Trash B!+@$.

He just had to go there. How am I trash?!

Sure my Mom's a junkie gambling addict. But I'm neither of those things.

Sure I like to party like any other repressed young adult, but that's very far and few times I tell you. I work two jobs after I work on my apprenticeship all day. I don't even have time to nap much less party.

I try not to let it bother me, but sometimes it gets under a little deeper then normal. I tell myself :" You'll never be like her, you've never been like her."

Today is different though, it's my Birthday 24th birthday. I have my graduation this evening, after my girls are taking to get dolled up then off to celebrate the start of my new life.

I have been saving for my own place since I was 12. As of yesterday from what I have been able to keep secret from my Mom and her many boyfriends, I finally had enough to get a place of my own!

I'll be signing the lease in the afternoon tomorrow. I'll be free from my Mother finally.

I start walking down the road to meet up with Kelsey so we can pick up Megan and go shopping and then make up and hair for my ceremony. They're the only ones that are going to be there. My Mom has been M.I.A. for about two weeks now, off on another bender somewhere.

My Dad died when I was 5. We were playing in the front yard when suddenly someone pulled up in a huge black van and walked right up to him, pointed a gun right up to his forehead and killed him on the spot right in front of me, without saying a word. Then just as he suddenly appeared, he was gone.

Talk about a great start to life huh? Mom didn't handle it too well and blamed me, a five year old! For the death of her own father. Pretty messed up huh?

I get to the store Kelsey works at in the mall within about 20 min. I don't have a car. I'd never be able to afford the upkeep with my Mom already stealing my money all the time. I usually just board everywhere but I busted a wheels the other day and haven't gotten down to Trucks and stuff yet. I'll add that to the ever growing list of crap I need to get done.

Thank God she's actually ready for once. There she is standing in all her glory.

Kelsey is my other half, my sister. We've been best friends forever. If you saw one of us, the other was always not far behind. Mind you we're absolutely polar opposites. She's bubbly, a total girly girl. But don't let that fool you that girl is a total savage. She will rip you to shreds with her bare hands if you get on her bad side. She's tall and blonde. She's basically a Southside Barbie reincarnated as a Ghetto Boss.

She's the hottest person I've ever met, no I'm not a lesbian, but Kelsey just screams sexy and she knows it. But she's strangely pretty conservative about it. She dresses sexy, but not slutty. She's my go to girl when I need to be girled up.

I on the other hand....

Well let's just say there is really nothing about me that screams sexy. I guess if I were to be categorized, I'd be the Tom Boy D.U.F.F. (designated ugly fat friend). I'm Kelseys sidekick. Not meant to be upfront on stage, that's the way I like it too.

I don't wear sexy clothes, usually a pair of workout pants and a baggy shirt. I don't put makeup on very often. I don't style my hair or anything either. it's just a lazy ponytail.

She looks me top to bottom. Oh great here it comes. The barge of appearance comments show will start any second. "You are absolutely 100% NOT wearing that to your graduation seriously this is a huge deal for me and you're not looking like that when my moment comes."

I just burst out laughing, I couldn't help it. Of course my Drama Queen bestie is making my Collage Graduation about her, this is why I love her. I'm not one for being the center of attention and she always has, and always will happily take all the attention off me.

"How is this remotely your day... I'm the one that busted my ass to finish it." I manage to get out a coherent sentence through my laughing.

"Because when the hot young midget Mechanic walks across the stage, I get to stand up and cheer for her loudly and completely gracefully while I wave to you and everyone will be looking at me." She throws her long blonde hair over her shoulder with a look of pure determination on her face

Ok I can't take it anymore. I absolutely break down laughing, my eyes are watering and I can't breath. I have to hold myself up with the giant 80's planter next to me.

" Whatever Kardashian." It's all I can manage to say before I notice almost everyone's looking at us because of my laughing outburst.

" For someone who hates attention you sure catch it easily from everyone, look those bikers are staring at you." She points over to the tailor shop across the mall. Well they're certainly looking, but I think they're looking at Kelsey. She gets attention everywhere we go.

Why are bikers SO sexy!! I can tell Kelseys eyeing up the taller one with jet black hair. The guy looks terrifying! I can see tattoos poking out from his shirt collar and his arms are completely covered. I bet he's covered head to toe. She loves a bad boy.

I don't know what I like, my last relationship lasted about a year and a half. Ended in shambles actually. He cheated on me, then tried to convince me I was lucky to even be his girlfriend since I can from such atrash family. I know right, way to make a girl feel loved eh?

Are you serious girl!! She's going to walk over to them. She threads her fingers through mine and commences her you're coming with me or else death grip and drags me behind her over to them casually acting like she's going to the store next to them.

We were just about a meter away from them when Blondie hones in on my girl.

"Well I didn't realize there was any hot ass in this town, but this gives me hope." He's slowly circling Kelsey like she's prey. Man if only you knew who you were dealing with hahaha.

Kelsey looks at the guy next to him. He's hot, like the perfect mixture of mountain man and Greek God. "I'm sorry Sir but did you look one of your special students?"

The guy just looked at her and burst out laughing.

"Sorry miss, this one was dropped on his head a few too many times as a baby."

I start laughing as Blondie looks pretty annoyed.

Geeze Kelsey you're asleep ng for trouble.

Blondie walks up to Kelsey and leans on the wall beside her. "Names Todd. Got plans for tonight."

Oh crap don't ask her that!!!!!!

"Absolutely!! This s*x kitten is Graduating tonight. I'm getting her pissed and laid!!" Shut up Kelsey!!

" Well, your friend here is sure pretty, but I was thinking more you and me plans." Is Todd trying to smooth talk the Ice Queen!

" I'll tell you what. We're going to be at The Hive around 730 tonight. do what you want with the info." She grabs my hand and sexily stalks away with me dragging behind her.

They're not going to show up Claire.
