As the days passed by with Mary enjoying living with the Jacksons , little did she know of the troubles that would befall her.
Afterall , what could possibly go wrong when she is enjoying her life? Finally , when she is saved from the horrors of her own family from Maryland and settling in Texas , Mary loved the homely environment here. Roses bloom and gardens flourish. Cities light up with tall skyscrapers , the humid air giving alot of warmth and serene feelings to Mary. There was nothing more she could want so much in life!
This was her current state of being. A state of peace. A state of goodwill and perhaps...a newfound romance or love interest with Venhen..? A young and inexperienced Vennie who had fallen head over heels for beautiful Mary with her rosy red hair and sparkly smile glazed upon a good sense of fashion. They both knew...but Mary also was unsure.
"Could I really be with him..? He doesn't know much about this world , neither can he handle me much , it's mostly me taking care of him , giving him therapy and maybe fulfilling his desires to have a motherly figure. But I wonder if he can support me too , when I need it."
Thought Mary to herself whenever she thought of the idea of her and Vennie being together.
As their lives continued , Mary would contemplate just how would her life from this point on continue. Who would she be with? What will I do with them?
Such thoughts grazed her mind with an intense desire to protect Vennie.
Vennie would often comfort Mary , without knowing what she went through at such times but he did try to be there for her as and when possible.
"Mary....miss Mary...I know there's alot you could be going through. I know I may not be of any or much help to you...but...but I wanna do something...to help you. When I see you cry , it breaks me....I...I really wanna be there for you...the way you're there for me...."
Suddenly as he said this , Mary rushed to hug him!
"Oh dear! You are such a handful. Worrying about me when you already are healing yourself. Sigh. I'll let you know I'm stronger on the inside than I am outside hon. You know you can't beat me when it comes to arm wrestling." Mary winked.
"Oh really??"
"Yes. I'm strong."
"Arm wrestling. Alright then , let's do this."
"Huh...? Vennie? Do what?"
"Let's arm wrestle, Mary"
"Sweetie , are you sure? You know I don't go easy when dared right?"
"No worries miss Mary. I'm looking forward to it!!"
He jumped! So did she!
They both sat on opposite sides of the table and grinned at each other.
Oh my....
Mary took Vennie's hand and applied pressure softly , gripping it and increasing her hold with each passing moment.
Vennie smiled.
"I'm gonna win"
He grabbed all of her fingers and immediately with all his force tried to push it down!
"Ah! This it it! I'm gonna win!"
Vennie you fool. Haven't you already read before how strong Mary can be? You , reading this , sure remember don't you?
Suddenly when he thought he almost win
Mary winked.
"I was holding back sweetie. You sure know how to test a woman."
"Huh...?"
Vennie was shocked! Face perplexed and his expression contorted , he couldn't grasp what Mary just said
"H...holding back...?" The puzzled Vennie...tried all he could...but she was holding back...?
Now wha-
BAANG!
Before he could even comprehend anything , Mary immediately put her force and smashed his fingers through the table denturing it and causing a loud crash!
"What on earth....?????"
"Sweetie. I told you."
She took things further and plowed his hand through the second layer of the table!
"WAIT STOP!!!" MARY"
She laughed loudly as he said this.
"Go on dear , try to stop me."
"Wwaait! I give up....I admit you're strong..."
"That's right darling. Never underestimate your mother's friend."
Mary winked.
"Sigh...you know Mary...the next Monday I have prom. I have no one to go with. College is a mess for me honestly...I'd ask you...but..."
"Sweetie. It's alright. Just find a friend your age and go. You know you can't bring an older lady like me there...lest everyone cast looks and think we are in a relationship, you know? I don't want that."
"I know Miss Mary. Well whatever. I'll find someone"
Vennie Pouted.
Mary knew he wanted her to come with him but she didn't want to risk being judged by people.
The following Monday arrived.....and well Vennie readied himself
"Did you find someone to go with Vennie?"
"Huh? Yeah I did actually"
Mary was surprised!
"Oh really? What's her name? What's she like? Tell me tell me!"
"Ehhh no! You decided not to come with me so I'm not telling you!!!"
She Pouted
"Cmon dear....you ought to entertain this old lady you know...!"
"Geez Miss Mary..it's time and I have to go now!"
"Wait Vennie! Look I'm sorry but wait!"
"Miss Mary it's time..! I need to leave now!"
"Wai-"
He shut the door behind him and ran off to college!
"Oh god...I hope she does not find out or come after me thinking I didn't get a date for prom. Seriously. I need to avoid her at all costs lol..."
Thought vennie to himself as he went to prom.
When he went there and attended the ball , he slowly walked over to the bar table and drank a little juice....
"Hhh....I wish she was here with me...so unfair on me you know! She's the only woman for me and she rejected my prom invite. But I get it...I so get it...it makes sense..."
"Totally kid. It does. Who wouldn't wanna bring their partner here huh?"
What..? Who answered Vennie...?
A young man with blonde hair and blue eyes looked at Vennie as he vented to him.
"Kid...I know what it feels like. Being rejected by the one you love. It's alright dude , drinks on me. Go ahead."
"T-thank u som..somuch....bar guy."
"Names Vermont. Remember it dude."
"R-right...Vermie....ughhhhh"
"You good bro? Also it's Vermont not vermie dude..."
"Yeaaaaa oh YEAAAA I'm totally good...."
"You're not. Lay off the drinks. I didn't know you got drunk so easily."
"I...just drank alot before coming here...don't wanna feel jealous...you know...."
"Uh huh. You really went out with it all huh? No wonder you're so drunk right now."
"Yeaa....huhuhuh...."
Just as Vennie responded , he fell to the ground and dozed off!
"Aw hell no. What on earth. Dude."
A frustrated Bartender blamed himself partly for a drunk guy lying on the floor.
A minute or two later , two guys came near the scene
"Douchebag is on the floor."
"Yeah , I got an idea"
"What is it?"
"You know. Beating the senses out of drunk people. Haven't had this much fun in a while."
"HAHAH....alright dude. You got this. You sure?"
"Full moon sure dude. Let's go ahead."
And so...the two men grinned devilishly to themselves...as though to say...it's Vennie's fault to be lying drunk..!
Oh god..! No!
One of the two men suddenly clenched his fists.
"Oop. Looks like I'm good to go."
He chuckled.
"OBJECTION!!"
What??? Who on earth just said that??? This isn't Ace Attorney. It definitely wasn't Pheonix Wright.
Suddenly as "OBJECTION! HOLD IT!" was yelled , the two men looked confused.
"What the?"
"Huh..?"
Suddenly A tall woman jumped them!
"Names Mary. Don't forget. Lay a hand on my sweety and I'll turn you into mince meat."
"Huh???? Who on earth are you bitch?? Get outta my way. We gonna beat this mf up."
"Nah I'd win." Boldly claimed Mary as she stepped forward to protect Vennie. She t- posed in front of the two men as people around saw the commotion.
Due to the scene and it getting a gathering , the two men decided it was best to leave things be and move away. As they did , suddenly Mary crouched down and held Vennie's head in her bosom.
"Vennie? Vennie? Dear...what happened to you. I was worried for you , you know...."
"M...Mary?? Mi..miss Mary??? Is that you...how did you get here....??"
"Well..I saw you left in a hurry. I know you darling...how you are. I just doubted you got a friend to go to prom with...the way you so vehemently defended your claims and the way you rushed really got me worried that perhaps I...I didn't treat you right. I felt a sharp pain in my chest...I couldnt be at peace with myself unless i went after you...and when I came here I came at just the right time! Two men were gonna jump you! Gosh Vennie, you worry me. But you know...I'm sorry okay....dear?"
"It...it's fine hahhaaa...I'm good miss...Mary.."
He was tired. Drained. Too confused to comprehend what was going on. But he did realize Mary came to save him. For that , he was happy at last.
"I...you're Mary. Mary....you're so amazing...."
"I know dear. The world should fear what a woman like me can do!"
She laughed as she said this and threw him high into the air and caught him in her arms as she carried him!
Mary winked.
"See dear. I'm always there for you. Even when you're a lost cause."
Some people saw what was going on and wondered...
"What...? Who is that lady? Why is she here? Is that Venhen? Is that his aunt or something? Isn't this a prom for college students? Yikes."
The people whispered to themselves.
Ofcourse , Mary heard them loud and clear.
"Sigh , darling. What ever will I do with you hm?"
Mary then walked slowly but elegantly with a beautiful gown that complemented her rosy red hair as she took steps with her pointed heels , intimidating people nearby with her menacing presence.
The crowd felt it. The people felt it. They wondered.
"What a woman she is.....damn....that's...wow..."
With Vennie in her arms , she walked through the crowd and eventually out of the hall and out the gate too.
When she moved away from any human being except Vennie , she found a spot to herself and him and she suddenly broke down!
"Vennie...! If you didn't get a friend you could've just told me...! Am I not there for you when you need it??? Why would you put yourself in danger by drinking alot..! Do you know how much that causes me to worry! Do not make such rash decisions again...I'm....here...for you...aren't I...?"
She's always there for him...right..?
I think s-
BANG!
Suddenly a gunshot fired and almost hit Mary.
What???? What on earth????
"Who...who are you..." Mary was terrified!
As the gunshot fired...suddenly a silhouette appeared in the distance near a dimly lit pole. Mary could see the figure but couldn't make out who it was....
"Whoever you are...please don't....!"
Mary didn't know what to say! Her body shook as the figure appeared closer till she could see them.
Come by and slowly but surely entered a sharp and menacing long haired blonde woman in her thirties who had a very sharp stare , mean as a cat's glare!
The way she walked set her apart as a cold calculating woman with two guns and no fucks to give. She wasn't playing around.
"Mary..." She spoke.
"Who...who are you. Don't come any closer , whoever you are!" Said Mary.
The blonde lady chuckled. She then blew some smoke off her guns.
"Ah..good day...good day. Isnt it?"
She juggled both of her guns and winked at Mary!
"Well well well...what have we here? A lady and a young college student. Today's meal seems to be....quite interesting."
"Who...who sent you! Stop this! Don't play with me!"
The Lady then pulled some paper out of her boobs!
She smiled at it and then put it back where it was. She then spoke.
"Who sent me I wonder? Guess that's your homework Mary. I'm coming for you sweety. Looks like things are gonna lalala get risky. Bitter sweet ending to your life and money. Who knows what could be the end of your marriage and misery. What a nice day it is today , honey. Spare me some time and let me make you shaky. Dance a little , twist a little , make things interesting like a party. What's the matter , feeling nervous already Mary? We are just getting started , don't you worry. When it's the mood for a hunt , you know I get tipsy! I'm so sorry! Gosh , you're really crazy....whoever knew you'd escape from your f-a-m-i-l-y"
Huh...? Family..? How does some stranger know about Mary's past and fami-
"Oh deary...end this story..."
