Natural Born Killers...(Dark_Times & Charmed)

Diary exerpt from Mallory Daniels- dated April 26:

I met the greatest guy tonight!! He's the delivery guy from Sal's Market , he delivered some groceries for "the parents" and while they were preoccupied in the kitchen, we talked for a while out front by his car. (which is a red 1969 Camaro!!! Wow!) He offered to take me for a ride, but I knew that "the parents" would freak so he asked me out for tomorrow night instead. And of course, I said Yes!! He's soo good looking and he even has his own apartment that he rents above Sal's! Oops, gotta go "the parents" are calling.....be back later.

midnight- April 27:

I HATE THEM! Now I have a black eye because of that bastard who claims to be my father- how am I supposed to go on a date with Mick tomorrow like this..? And that bitch of a mother did NOTHING to stop him either. She's so pathetic. She just sat curled up in a corner while the son of a bitch bashed my face into the corner of the television for leaving it on when I left the room! The bruises on my neck from when he tried to choke me to death last week are just now going away, and now THIS! God! I wish they were dead!
I'm NOT going to miss this date - no way! I'll just have to cover it up the best I can and hope wherever we go is dark! He's supposed to pick me up tomorrow after work- hopefully "the parents" will be passed out by then, which considering the fact that they usually start drinking at around noon, is very likely.
Well, thats all for now, I'm tired and my face hurts like hell!


Mallory put the leather bound diary beneath her pillow and turned out the bedside lamp, plunging the room into darkness. She took deep inhalations and exhaled slowly as she tried to calm the fury she felt building inside her mind. It had become much harder to do lately. Roy Daniels, her sorry excuse for a father, had become increasingly violent towards her and her mother Rose since he lost his job a year ago. He had always abused her both physically and emotionally her entire 22 years of life while her mother got the physical and sexual abuse for even longer than that. Yet even now, that it had become ten times worse, her weak assed mother still refused to leave the scum!

She took a few more calming breaths and turned over to her back as she stared at the paint chipped ceiling and waited for the rage to simmer down so that sleep could take her and she could dream of how she might one day escape this living Hell.

Mick had been working at Sal's for a long while now, though never in his days had he seen someone like Mallory. Fit his tastes just perfect, not a stick like some girls but not exactly chunky either, and there was something else about her he could not put a finger on. He had very much so enjoyed the talk they'd had out by his car and well he was very curious to find out more about her, so he decided to ask her out, to his surprise she said yes.


That was how he got to be in this position, sitting in his Camaro outside her house this nice evening. Before he got out of the car he brushed back his hair and then shook it out again, just how he liked it, then leaned over and grabbed his pistol from the glove box, 'Never leave home without one' as his father always said.

He slid out of the car and shut the door, and tucked the gun into the back of his jeans and let his shirt fall over it. He walked slowly across to the front door and knocked on it with the base of his fist, he quickly ran over how to introduce himself nicely in case it was her parents who answered.

Diary Entry dated April 27th:

Well, I've covered up the purple, blue and black around my eye as best as I could- Mick should be here anytime now! The parents are successfully inebreiated at this point and I can only hope that if they aren't already passed out cold- they will be soon. I'm so excited I can hardly wait!!

Mallory checked her appearance once more in the mirror and despite the bruise which looked like a discolored target with her blue eye at the center, she looked pretty damn good- if she did say so herself. Her deep, raven dark hair fell in waves well past her slim shoulders and ended at the middle of her back. She glanced at her size D breasts which perfectly suited her curvy 5'6" frame, and the black silky shirt she wore accentuated her cleavage nicely. The short denim skirt she wore- along with the black thigh high boots, showed off her toned legs as well as her shapely ass. With a quick swipe of her favorite clear, strawberry flavored lip gloss across her plump lips, she deemed herself ready.

As Mallory headed for the living room, she heard her father's annoying, baritone voice and cringed, "What the hell do you want with her, boy?" She froze and realized he must be talking to Mick, Oh my god!
" She's not going anywhere, except maybe to Hell, where all dirty whores go.." his foul, drunken laughter filled her ears and without thinking she turned and ran back to her room, tears falling from her eyes.

As she closed her bedroom door and locked it, she heard the echo from the front door slam followed by more drunken ranting and raving. She went to her bedroom window where she could see Mick slowly walking back to his beautiful car, shaking his head. Fury crept up inside her and this time, she had no desire to tamp it down. Instead, she let it fuel her actions and her resolve. No! The bastard would not ruin this for her!

With quick movements she raised her window with trembling hands and whistled loud enough to get Mick's attention. Her heart skipped a beat when he turned and saw her and headed away from his car towards her. God! He was gorgeous! He looked like an avenging angel stalking towards her with determination written across his face. she thought to herself as she anxiously awaited for him.

 

[Dark_Times]

During the entire ordeal with Mallory's father Mick had been more concerned with keeping his temper in check, and stopping his hand from wandering to the gun in the back of his jeans. However when the door was shut on him, it seemed like he'd be alone tonight, until he heard a whistle. He spun around to see the cause and spotted Mallory, he felt himself go cold, Whats with the weird colors around her eye, then it came to him.


He ripped the gun from his waistband and began walking quickly towards the door, he moved his 6ft frame quite quickly. Getting past the door was no problem at all either, one good hard kick and the lock gave in. The door slammed against the wall and swung shut again behind Mick. "Where are you! You sorry excuse for a man!", he walked into the living room with the gun held up and his face cold.


"Mallory! Come here, I need to see if your alright!", his voice showed concern now, but his face did not crack as easily. He kept both of the parents in place with a cold stare and steady aim. "If either of you try anything you'll be dead before your next breath", his voice was quiet now, but there was a new edge to it.

 

[Charmed]

Mallory's heart beat against her rib cage with bruising force as she heard his call and ran to answer it. When she rounded the corner into the shabbily lit living room and saw Mick standing there, as cool as the night breeze, holding a gun on the parents, her breath hitched in her throat. "Oh!" Her wide eyes flew between them and she noticed the look of absolute rage simmering in Roy's already blood shot eyes. "Mick..?" she said quietly as she slowly walked to his side.

The look on his face as he turned and looked at her melted her to the spot. He looked her over with a fierce, surprisingly possessive glare which stopped at her bruised and swollen eye.

"There's the whore now," Roy slurred the words that made her flinch. " Tell your pimp here, to lower the fucking gun and turn it on someone who deserves it instead.....like you...you dirty whore!"

 

[Dark_Times]

"You watch your mouth you spineless shit!", he spat out the words before stopping and taking a few breaths. "Mallory", his voice was calm and caring now, "What do you think should happen to him?", he pulled back the hammer on the gun and waited for her response. Slowly and deliberately he looked from each of the parents to the other, "How can you treat your own daughter like this?", his voice was quiet, but it cracked slightly, "Your own blood!", he roared.

This was one of those moments, his temper just snapped, he pushed past the mother and shoved Mallory's father up against the wall, "I am very sorry to have to waste a bullet on you, but it seems the alcohol is not a fast enough method". He put the barrel to her fathers chin and fired, he let the body drop as he turned to Mallory, "You can pick with your mother".

 

[Charmed]

"Mallory",What do you think should happen to him?",

His soothing voice broke the spell she seemed to be under and she looked at him with adoration shining bright in her blue eyes. Yet just as she was about to speak, he said

"How can you treat your own daughter like this?", "Your own blood!",

he roared the last part and it was at that moment, Mallory fell in love.

"I am very sorry to have to waste a bullet on you, but it seems the alcohol is not a fast enough method".

Then he shot him in the head and she watched as if in slow motion,as his fat, disgusting body slid to the floor.

It took Mallory a minute to catch her breath but when she did, she looked at Mick and with a huge, dazzling smile on her face said " My Hero!!!!!" then ran and jumped into his arms, wrapped her slim legs around his waist and covered his face with kisses.

"You can pick with your mother".

While still in his arms, Mallory turned to see her mother as she tried to sneak out on her hands and knees, "Where do you think you're going, Rose..?" Mallory said in a calm tone. She actually almost felt sorry for her...almost. But the most she would give to the woman who sat by and did nothing while her bastard husband beat on their own daughter her whole life , was a quick death.

" That's so sweet of you, Mickey, to let me choose....and I choose.........." she intentionally dragged it out, enjoying the panic on Rose's face while she pretended to deliberate on the matter. Finally, she turned back to him and kissed him fully on the mouth and said "Ah, Hell...just make it quick."

 

[Dark_Times]

He placed the pistol in Mallory's hand before dragging her mother back across the room, it was a quick simple motion, he just gripped her arms and pulled her over. He then forced her to sit on the couch, "Doing nothing is as much a crime as your husband's", he gently pulled Mallory over by slipping his arm around her waist.


"Now, nice and quick", he placed his hand over Mallory's on the gun, "I'd not take all the credit for this", he smiled and chuckled, the sound seemed strange to him, darker than normal but he liked it. "Well, I'll have to say, this is not a very good first impression is it Rose?", he then squeezed Mallory's finger on the trigger and the gun went off once again.


"Now, the important part, we leave", he moved straight for the door, "Two minutes, that's all the time we can spare", he pulled her up against him and kissed her for the better part of a minute before heading out to his car. He held up a finger to show she had one minute to gather what she needed.

 

[Charmed]

As Rose's lifeless body slumped over on the couch, Mallory felt, for the first time in...well, ever- relief and a sense of freedom...and it was all thanks to Mick.

"Now, the important part, we leave", Two minutes, that's all the time we can spare"

then he grabbed her and kissed her until her knees got weak with desire.

"Right!" she said in a dreamy voice as he headed out to his car. She wasted no time and hauled ass back to her bedroom and quickly threw some clothes and whatever else she could think of into a bag. As she ran back through the living room she remembered something and knew she absolutely could not leave without it. In what had to be record time, she went into "the parents" bedroom and lifted up the queen sized mattress where in the very center of the box springs, inside a pocket cut out between the supports were three stacks of cash. With just a quick glance she estimated the parents savings probably amounted to about $2 or 3 thousand dollars.

Then without even a second glance back at the bodies of Roy and Rose Daniels, she left the house and her past behind her- eager for an exciting future with Mick.

 

[Dark_Times]

He threw open the passenger side door before walking round and sliding into the drivers seat, he started the car and relaxed into the seat listening to the engine's purr. He sat there for a few moments just letting the car heat up, they had a long hard drive ahead of them, he threw the car into reverse and swung it around to face the other end of the road. He looked over as Mallory got in, "Hope you brought everything, not much stops where we're headed".


He shifted into drive and pressed down on the accelerator, the back wheels spun sending up a cloud of white smoke. The car jumped forwards and was gone, leaving only the tire marks.

 

[Charmed]

"Hope you brought everything, not much stops where we're headed".

Mallory looked at him and nodded as he peeled out and away from the house of death. She felt exhilerated as he sped off, the wind from the open windows blowing through her long hair. She couldn't believe that her lifelong nightmare had finally ended- and ended with a bang, at that! She giggled at the pun before turning to Mick with adoring eyes, " Mick? I, um..just wanted to say Thank You , for, well..you know..back there. Nobody has ever stuck up for me like that before....and well, ...just ...Thanks" Then, she leaned over and kissed him quickly on the cheek before grabbing her bag from the back seat.

As they neared the highway, she pulled out the stacks of cash and held it up for him to see, then said with a huge grin, " So, where are we headed?

 

[Dark_Times]

He chuckled and smiled at her, "Then you must not know much delivery boys with guns", he sped up as the wheels hit the on ramp. "We, are going far away from here, along route 666 of all places, good place to escape the world", his smile took on a strange appearance as he said this. He then slid an arm around her shoulders and relaxed into the seat.

 

[Charmed]

Mallory rested her head against his shoulder as he drove them further and further away from her past. It was strange, she thought, as her mind wandered through the events of the night, that she felt not a single ounce of remorse over what they had done. Nope, not a bit..."the parents" got what they deserved and she would forever be indebted to Mick, her hero, for saving her.

Mallory closed her eyes as the wind blew through the cars open windows and the steady hum of the powerful engine soothed her body and soul. She turned her head into his chest and snuggled closer, while her hand gently caressed his jean covered thigh. She thought about the kiss they shared earlier and how badly she wanted to do it again. She couldn't help but wonder if he'd enjoyed it as well..? And if so, would he want to kiss her again..? God! She hoped so! As a matter of fact, the way her body had reacted to him, the way he made her feel....had her wanting to do a whole lot more than just kissing.....

 

[Dark_Times]

Mick glanced at a few of the signs passing by before slowing the car and pulling into the parking lot of a small run down motel, "I think we should get some rest, need to be ready for tomorrow", he smiled slyly when he mentioned rest. He shut off the engine and let the car roll silently to a stop in a reasonably concealed space.

After pulling on the handbrake, he grabbed the gun and slid out of the car, he shut his door and moved to the trunk, pulling out an empty back pack. "Grab some money ok?, but don't take too much of anything in with you", he put the gun in the backpack along with a box of bullets.

 

[Charmed]

"

I think we should get some rest, need to be ready for tomorrow",

She nodded her head and looked forward to "resting" with him. The motel he had pulled over at looked kind of seedy and she briefly considered suggesting that they drive a bit further until they found a classier place, after all, they could easily afford it. But decided to just follow his lead since he obviously had a plan.

"Grab some money ok?, but don't take too much of anything in with you"

" O.K." she replied and grabbed a stack of cash which she threw into her purse along with a change of clothes.

She was glad he thought to bring his gun as it didn't appear that they were in a very good part of town. She slung her purse over her shoulder then quickly sidled up beside him and took his hand in hers. Just the simple touch of his hand made her tingle all over and so, unable to resist, she reached up on her tip toes and kissed him on the cheek. She couldn't wait to get to their room.....

 

[Dark_Times]

He locked the car before smiling and leaning down, wrapping an arm around her waist he kissed her, he slowly pulled himself away and began to lead her towards the reception desk. "This should be interesting", he had just seen the mans hand go under the desk, where the was no doubt a hidden gun.

He kept his calm appearance as they approached the desk, "OK buddy", his tone was cheery but he gave it a slightly forceful edge,"We want you best room, and I hope for all our sake it ain't infested with anything", he didn't smile, showing he meant that last part.

 

[Charmed]

Mallory was almost giddy with excitement. Atleast she was, until the fat slob with the greasy hair and face behind the reception desk parked his beady little eyes on her breasts. The creep's hand moved beneath the waist high counter which meant he either had a gun or a hard-on. The former was preferrable to the latter, as far as she was concerned as she turned and moved closer to Mick.

The lobby was deserted, the only sound came from an annoyingly loud ceiling fan above them that creaked and groaned with every turn of it's warped blades and the even more irritating voice of some game show host from the small t.v. behind the counter.

"OK buddy, We want you best room, and I hope for all our sake it ain't infested with anything",

Mallory, who now stood firmly at his side, looked at the man and when she saw that his greedy eyes had moved south from her breasts, she said, "Micky....I don't like the way he's eyeing me, make him stop." she almost pleaded.

 

[Dark_Times]

Mick was listening to Mallory, but he was making a point not to let the guy know it, he waved her off and dropped to one knee, "Will you stop whining, it's been a long drive and I'm tired". He looked up when he was out of the clerks line of sight and winked as he unzipped the bag, "One moment and I'll have the money for the room, hope he doesn't mind change", that was to cover up the click of the gun cocking and to explain the jingle of the bullets.

He straightened up and leveled the gun at the mans forehead, "You, my friend eyed up the wrong woman", he jerked the barrel up, to tell the man to stand up.

 

[Charmed]

Mallory's eyes lit up with excitement as Mick leveled the gun at the clerks head....until a thought occured to her. She bent her head to Mick's ear and whispered her idea, hoping he'd agree.

When she was done, and at his nod, her face lit up with an eager grin and she clapped her hands together, " Yay!!" she gushed in giddy excitement as Mick carefully handed her the gun while his eyes remained glued on the clerk. "O.K., Mickey baby, show me how to do it right!" she said loud enough to be sure the man heard as she pointed the gun at him.

After Mick got behind her and moved her legs into the correct firing stance and adjusted her hold on the gun, he clicked off the safety for her. "O.K., I've got it now baby" she turned and gave Mick a quick but deep kiss before turning back around. The clerk, by now, had sweat pouring down his face and into the layers of his double chin. Yet, at some point, had managed to grab his own gun from beneath the counter.

In a blur of motion, he jerked the gun up to fire..... but was too slow. Mallory got off three shots and hit him twice in the chest and once in his neck......
