THE CABIN

Mace

While she looked for what I could only assume was a cigarette, I searched the cupboards for anything viable to eat, as venturing into town would be suicide at this point. I found an old can of beans and decided to cook it outside on the old fire pit my family used to sit around to tell scary stories.

“The stars are so bright out here,” she said, looking up at the sky.

“Yeah, well, you don’t have all those city lights drowning them out,” I said, eating a spoonful of the beans.

“How are they?”

I smiled with the beans still in my mouth. “Disgusting.”

“Yeah, I didn’t wanna catch hell for saying it,” she said with a slight chuckle.

“So what are you going to do after all this is over?” I asked.

“Honestly, I don’t expect to make it out of this alive. If my father wants me dead, then that is what’s going to happen. Whether it’s today, tomorrow, or twenty years from now, if you’re on his list—then you’re on his list.”

“Now you’re on my list.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Means—what are you going to do after all this is over; because it will be over.”

“So confident in yourself.” She looked at me, smiling. “What are you gonna do? You definitely can’t go back to BlaX.”

“There isn’t going to be a BlaX after this,” I said, taking a gulp of some warm beer I found sitting in one of the cupboards.

“So confident in yourself,” she said again, stretching out her arm for the bottle.

“Really, you want warm beer?”

“I’d take anything to forget at this point.”

“Those are big words for a little girl,” I said, taking one last gulp before handing it to her.

“Little girl?” she echoed as she took a drink. Her face cringed as soon as the bitter liquid touched her lips. “I’ll show you little girl.”

“Don’t make threats you can’t back up.”

She gulped down the rest of the bottle then threw it on the ground as she stood. Her leg brushed against me as she walked into the cabin. I watched as she sauntered through the door, pulling her shirt over her head, and dropping it into a small heap on the floor. She paused, glancing over her shoulder at me, then continued to walk to the other end of the cabin, where the one bedroom in the whole house was situated.

I knew I shouldn’t follow—it would just muddy shit up.
