Jack's POV: Chapter 16

I didn't know what I had seen in that Pearl girl. She was hot, sure. But I never liked her. Besides. She was annoying and clingy, and lived for messing with other people. Even if I had dated her, I was sure she would have just broken up with me on my birthday or something. Plus, Jackie was hotter. "Now that you're done hand feeding her, why don't you lay down?" Jackie growled.

"'Jealous?" I teased.

"That wasn't a question. Go!"

"Daaang! You're as bossy as her!" I replied, jerking my thumb at Pearl, before complying.

"I'm not bossy!" Jackie said, hurt. "I know what's best for you in this situation, and I enforce it! I just want to make sure you're okay!"

"Dont get mad for no reason. Besides, aren't you like, supposed to be bossy? You're the Queen of Hearts's daughter. Hey, order me to play croquet, or something." Jackie rolled her eyes. "No seriously! I wanna see!"

"No! Stop it! Dont- Please don't talk about my mother!" Jackie replied. She tried to sound annoyed, but her voice was shaky. What!?

"Jeez! I was kidding!"

Jackie's bottom lip trembled, before she turned her back on me and huffed, "It wasn't funny."

"Why are you being so-"

"Me? I'm doing something wrong?! Why are you being such a jerk!? Why do you always have to be so cool?" She cried, spinning around to look at me, and putting finger quotes on cool. "You always pretend not to have feelings, like you don't care about anyone but yourself! You know you're hurting my feelings! You know what you're saying!"

"What-"

"How could you Jack? You're so bossy? It runs in the family? I'm just like my mother? How could you?"

"Jackie, that's- whatever." I said, almost forgetting.

"See? You did it again! Well whatever, Jack! You can fend for yourself! I'm going back to my mother, so I can execute people which I enjoy!" Jackie screamed, tears forming in her eyes, before she ran off, sobbing.

"Jackie! Wait! That's not what I meant!" I cried, jumping to my feet. The cell was unlocked, so I took a few running steps toward it, prepared to chase after Jackie, before the world began to spin. And my eyesight wasn't that good to begin with. "Woah, dizzy." I said, placing a hand on my forehead, and stumbling backwards, until my legs met the seat. I tripped, and sat heavily. To make matters worse, now Pearl's shrill, giggly laughter echoed throughout the jail. 'Well this is embarrassing.' I thought. I sat in silence, listening to Pearls annoying hysterical laughter, and an odd noise. I wondered what she was doing. Eventually, I heard the sound of something tearing, and Pearls stilettos clicking through the jail.

"Hello, Jack. You know, if you had just picked me, no drama would have happened. You can call me whatever you want. Just know I'll probably call you something worse." Pearl said, entering my cell, grinning like a maniac. I noticed that her wrists were red, and rug-burned.

"That's sounds like an abusive relationship." I replied.

"Yeah well, you never gave it a chance to find out what kind of relationship it would be, so..." Pearl reached into her purse for her gun, and I grabbed her burns without thinking. Pearl howled, before twisting my arms until I was forced to let go. "Sweet sweet Jack... Time to die!" Pearl sing songed.

"Can you at least wait for me to pass out? I think I burst my stitches or something."

"No sweetie." Pearl said, cupping a hand on my cheek, then snatching it away as I attempted to aggravate her burns again. "I wanna hear you scream!" Pearl said, in a perfectly satanic possessed little girl voice, grinning manically. I banged my head on the wall, hard, in an attempt to knock myself out.

"Ow! That definantly didn't work. Pearl giggled, shoving my roughly into the wall.

"What were you trying to do, dummy?" Pearl finally got bored when I didn't respond, and shoved her gun so close to my face, that I had to go cross eyed to see it. I squeezed my eyes shut instead. Pearl yelped, and I started, opening my eyes. That weird cloak girl, had yanked Pearl's head back by the hair, interrupting her 'fun'. Cloak girl punched Pearl in the face, while another girl ran into the extremely cramped cell, and snatched the gun, aiming it at Pearl's head.

"Why are you the only one who's even tried to hurt anyone?" The brunette asked, as though Pearl had done something to her personally that had broken her heart.

"That's what this game is about, isn't it?" Pearl replied.

"We don't have to do anything those murderers say!" The brunette girl cried, her voice filled with passion. Cloak girl flinched.

"Yeah but... Then how would you win?" I got up and attempted to sneak out, but cloak girl put out her foot, and tripped me. I face planted, and sat up, streaks of dirt from the filthy floor across my face. At the same time, Brunette girl growled, and slapped Pearl across the face, before storming from the cell. Cloak girl pulled Pearl's arms behind her back roughly, and dragged her to her cell from before. I exited my cell unsteadily, and followed them. Cloak girl was tightly binding Pearls arms and legs together.

"How are you gonna carry her?" I asked. The brunette grinned.

"I have an idea."
