“Why would you say that?” I seethe, the blood in my veins running like hot water. “Who told you that?”
Melody is at my mercy when she finally says, “He told me in a note. That’s why I did what I did to you without an ounce of remorse. And you know what, I’d do it all over again.”
I pounce on her again, going straight for her pretty blonde hair.
“Not now!” Jagger snaps. Letting go of her, I fall back onto my ass in the snow.I don’t get up; I just bend my legs and drape my hands over my knees while I try to compose myself.
“I didn’t want to hurt Hannah.” Melody continues with more cries of desperation. “She’s my best friend and I love her.”
Jagger takes over, squeezing her wrists and keeping her in place. “Why’d you come here tonight?”
Melody looks down at her lap, licking the tears from her lip. “A note was slid under my door tonight. I had to skip our final game for this bullshit. I was told to go into the tunnels and close the door to a room you were in, then take your snowmobile that was already running for me and bring it here. That was it. I was leaving to go back to the dormswhen I saw the two of you.”
Jagger and I share a look, and I can tell he’s buying it. Regardless, she won’t get away with what she’s done.
“Even if we do believe you, it doesn’t change what you did,” I say, speaking to Melody before looking at Jagger. “I think she needs to reap the consequences of her actions.”
He nods at me in agreement. The sinister look on his face mimicking mine. “Every choice does have consequences. What do you suggest?”
I shrug my shoulders, smirking maliciously. Melody has always been a bitch to me, and now I get the chance to do whatever the hell I want to her. “Jagger, what’s a girl’s most prized possession?”
Jagger lifts his shoulders. “Her pussy?”
I shake my head. “No. Her hair.”
Melody goes to flee, but Jagger pulls her back down. “No. Please. I’ll do anything. Don’t touch my hair.”
I grab a handful of her luscious locks and glance at Jagger. “Do me a favor?”
“Name it.”
“Could you go in the cabin and fetch me a pair of scissors?”
“You evil fucking bitch!” Melody cries. “You’re insane. You’re both insane!”
Jagger gets up and I grip Melody’s hair tighter. If she tries to run, she’s running with a bald spot on the top of her head.
“Maybe I am insane, but did you ever stop to think that maybe it’s because of bitches like you?”
“Scarlett, please.” She looks at me with sorrow in her eyes. “I didn’t want to do this. I had to protect my secrets.”
“By exposing mine?” I shout. “By taunting me? You act all innocent by flaunting everyone else’s flaws, but you’re just as insane as the rest of us. And now, you’re gonna learn your lesson about sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong.”
Jagger returns a minute later with a pair of rusty steel scissors. They look dull as fuck, but they should do the trick.
Balling Melody’s hair in my fist, I pull her head down and position the blades right above my hand, ready to chop off a good four inches. “Take this as a warning,Melody,” I emphasize her name. “Next time you fuck with me, or my friends, you will pay.”
Then I cut until her gorgeous, silky blonde strands fall into my hand. I take her palm, open it, and give her the chunk of cut-off hair, then close her fingers around it.
Her cries ring through the air, echoing off the trees surrounding us.
Jagger grabs her by the arm and lifts her to her feet. “Go back to your dorm room and do not leave until one of The Lawless members gives you permission. I don't care how many fucking notes you get, you do not leave. Do you understand me?”
Her palm slides up her snotty nose and she sniffles some more.“Am I getting kicked out? Are you going to report me to The Elders? Tell my parents?”
He repeats himself, enunciating each word. “Do you understand me?”
She nods in response.
