Unfulfilled Promises

The sound of a pleading woman can be heard throughout the building, as she's dragged in by two other women. The two women drag the woman to a throne room. Sitting on the throne is a woman, in her hand she holds a whip.

"We've brought Janet as you have requested Mistress" said one of the guards.

"Thank you Kimberly" said the Mistress "you may go" As Kimberly leaves the room, the other woman named Sarah stands beside the Mistress.

"She is ready for you Mistress!" said Sarah. The Mistress stands up and walks over to Janet, who cowers on her knees. The Mistress unravels the whip and prepares to use it.

"I thought you had remembered the rules" said the Mistress "The only life you can live is in this building."

"But Ashley" said Janet "I had to see my family, they were worried. Please forgive me!"

"The time for forgiveness is over" said Ashley "And I've already told you, it's MISTRESS Ashley!" Ashley raised the whip into the air, and brought it down on Janets exposed flesh. Ashley continued the onslaught until with one final blow, Janet was dead. Ashley looked over at Sarah "get someone to clean this up," said Ashley "I'll be in my room."

Ashley laid in her bed looking at a picture in a frame, when she heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" said Ashley. Sarah walked in, and sat at the edge of Ashley's bed.

"What's wrong Mistress?" asked Sarah "You haven't been yourself lately!"

"Well," said Ashley "It's been five years since I've seen him."

"But Mistress," said Sarah "I thought that was all behind you."

"So did I" said Ashley "But the more I tried not to think about it, the more I thought about it."

"So what are you going to do?" asked Sarah

"Well" said Ashley "I'm going to find him"

"How?" asked Sarah

"I'll find a way" said Ashley "He made a promise to me, and after five years I'm gonna claim it." Ashley dropped the frame she was holding. As it hit the floor, the glass shattered. Inside the shattered glass was a photo, the photo was of Jabo.

"Promises" by The Cranberries came out of the speakers of the Hummer as it entered Rion. The group stopped in front of a hotel and got out.

"Well let's get a room" said Jabo. As the group began to enter the hotel, Jabo saw something that caught his eye. As he looked down the street, he saw someone staring at him. "Sarah?" Jabo said to himself as he started walking down the street. Meanwhile as the group entered the hotel,

Laura noticed that Jabo wasn't with them.

"Where the hell's Jabo?" asked Laura. Gordon and James shrugged their shoulders, Laura ran outside and saw Jabo walking down the street. "Where the fuck is he going?" Laura asked herself as she followed him.

As Jabo continued to chase who he believed to be Sarah, he noticed that she was starting to run.

"What the fuck's going on?" Jabo said to himself "Why is she running?" Jabo continued to follow her, until she went into an alley. When Jabo entered the alley, she was gone. "What the hell?" Jabo said to himself.

"JABO!" yelled Laura as she came up behind him

"Hey Laura!" said Jabo "Why are you all the way out here?"

"I was about to ask you the same question!" said Laura

"I just...thought I saw something!" said Jabo

"What?" asked Laura. Jabo paused for a minute

"It's...nothing!" said Jabo "I just was getting a weird feeling, and it must have made me see things!"

"Well...Okay!" said Laura "Well let's get back to the hotel, James and Gordon probably got our rooms for us." As Jabo and Laura walked out of the alley, Sarah came out of the shadows.

"That was close!" said Sarah "I must inform the Mistress that he's here!" Sarah walked out of the alley, and headed back towards the estate.

"Mistress, Sarah to see you!" said Meagan

"Send her in!" said Ashley. Ashley watched as Meagan let Sarah in, Sarah quickly ran up to Ashley. "What do you have to report?" asked Ashley

"He's in Rion!" said Sarah. A look of shock showed up on Ashleys face.

"Are you sure?!" asked Ashley

"Yes Mistress" said Sarah, "I was surprised to find that he recognized me." Sarah looked at Ashley and saw that she was thinking. "What do you want us to do?" asked Sarah

"Bring him to me!" demanded Ashley "Take whoever you need, but bring him to me...alive!"

"Yes Mistress" said Sarah. As Sarah left, Ashley pulled out the picture of Jabo.

"You will be mine again dear!" said Ashley as she kissed the picture.

Jabo was looking out the window of his room when Laura walked in. As she took a seat on Jabos bed, the squeak of the mattress got Jabos attention.

"What were ya looking at?" asked Laura

"Nothing really," said Jabo "just watching the world go by."

"I see..." said Laura "...so what the fuck was with you today?"

"What do you mean?" asked Jabo

"Well," said Laura "You don't normally just go running off, following nothing like that."

"I was following Sara....a bunny!" said Jabo

"Sarah?!" said Laura "Just who in the fuck is Sarah?"

"She's no one!" said Jabo. Laura pulled out her handgun, placed her finger on the trigger, and placed the barrel on Jabos crotch.

"Now!" said Laura angrily "You're gonna tell me who Sarah is, or I'm gonna blow your fucking nuts off." Jabo let out a loud gulp.

"Okay,Okay" said Jabo "Sarah was this girl I knew in school. Nice girl, but tended to be a follower. We were not great friends, but friendly enough. Anyway we've been friends for years. About I think it was five years ago, she introduced me to a friend of hers. We ended going out on one date. I was going into the army the next day, so I figured I'd better get my last piece. Anyway, this girl I think her name was Ashley she was talking marriage, etc. She asked if we would be together forever, I said yes, so I could get some. I left the next morning, I hoped Ashley realized it was only a one night stand. Anyway that was the last I saw of Ashley and Sarah."

"Oh!" said Laura "Well I'm glad Ashley's out of the picture, cause you're my man now!" Laura proceeded to give Jabo a kiss on the lips. As their lips locked, they began to strip off their clothes. As they got into the bed, and were getting ready to make love. Jabo saw someone watching from the window. Jabo got out of bed, got dressed, and put on his arsenal.

"Where are you going?" asked Laura

"I'm going to take care of some perverted fuck!" said Jabo. As Jabo stepped outside, he saw the peeping tom, only it was a woman. Jabo watched as the woman ran into the alley. "Don't think so!" said Jabo as he ran into the alley. As he ran in, he found himself encircled by six women. In front of him, he saw Sarah.

"Long time no see Jabo!" said Sarah

"What the fuck's going on here Sarah?" demanded Jabo

"Nothing's going on!" said Sarah "We're merely bringing you to our Mistress!"

"Oh?" said Jabo "And who the fuck is this great Mistress?"

"Ashley!" said Sarah "Now you can do this the easy way, or the hard way!" Jabo pulled out his M16

"I choose the hard way!" said Jabo.

"Very well" said Sarah, she looked at the five other girls "Get Him!" The women began closing in on Jabo. Mary, one of the women, jumped at him with a combat knife. Jabo quickly turned around and fired his M16, Mary fell to the ground in a bloody mess. As Jabo stared at Marys lifeless corpse, he felt wire being wrapped around his neck. Jabo tried to fight the assailant, but was brought to his knees. As he looked up he saw Eleanor, another of the women

holding a blunt object. The last thing Jabo saw, was the object connecting with his head as he fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

***

"Where did he say he was going?" asked Gordon

"He didn't" said Laura "He just said he was going to take care of a pervert. He put on his arsenal, and left."

"I don't like this" said Gordon "It's not like Jabo to just leave like that, he must be in trouble!"

"Well," said James as he loaded clips into his handguns "let's go rescue him!" As James headed towards the door, Gordon held his arm out to block the door.

"One problem!" said Gordon "We don't know where the fuck he is!"

"Well," said Laura as she placed her guns in their holsters. "Let's start looking!"

As Jabo regained partial consciousness, he saw that we was being dragged along a room by two women.

"We've brought Jabo, Mistress" said Eleanor

"Excellent!" said Ashley "Bring him up to me" Eleanor and Margaret lifted Jabo up, and brought him to Ashleys feet.

"Was he any trouble?" asked Ashley

"Well Mistress," said Margaret "In the process of capturing him, we lost Mary."

"How did that happen?" asked Ashley

"This piece of shit killed her with an M16" said Margaret, she proceeded to hit Jabo in the head. At this point Ashley stood up from her chair, walked up to Margaret, and slapped her in the face.

"Don't you ever call him a piece of shit!" said Ashley

"I'm sorry Mistress" said Margaret

"Uh," said Jabo groggily "what the fuck's going on?"

"Ah! Glad to see you're with us" said Ashley. As Jabo brought his head up, and looked around he saw women spread out throughout the room.

"What the hell's going on?" asked Jabo

"There will be plenty of time for explanation later." said Ashley "We have to get you ready"

"For what?" demanded Jabo

"Our wedding!" said Ashley excitedly

"Oh I don't fucking think so!" said Jabo. As Jabo pulled his arms together, he caused Margaret and Eleanor to collide with each other, knocking them both down. Jabo pulled a handgun out of a hip holster, and aimed it at Ashley.

"Now Jabo" said Ashley "I know it's normal to get cold feet, but I think you're over reacting"

"I'm not fucking over reacting!" said Jabo, as he pointed the gun at Ashley. "What the fuck is this about?"

"Your promise" said Ashley "You said we'd be together forever"

"Didn't you figure it out?" asked Jabo "I said that to get in your pants, it was nothing but a one night stand!" As Jabo was speaking, Sarah slowly came up behind him with a steel pipe.

"Now Jabo," said Ashley "You're just tired, I think you should take a rest!"

"I don't need one!" said Jabo

"Oh yes you do!" said Sarah, as she hit Jabo over the head with the steel pipe. Jabo fell to the ground unconscious.

"Take him to the cell!" said Ashley. Margaret and Eleanor picked up Jabo, and took him to his cell.

"I don't think Jabo's going to be our only problem" said Sarah

"What do you mean?" asked Ashley

"Well," said Sarah "he came into Rion with three other people."

"And?" said Ashley

"Well Mistress," said Sarah "I'm sure they'll try and come look for him! So what should we do?"

"Send someone out to take care of them!" said Ashley

"Yes Mistress" said Sarah. As Sarah began to leave, Ashley noticed Jabos gun on the floor. She picked it up

"Sarah" said Ashley

"Yes Mistress?" said Sarah. Ashley tossed her the handgun

"Hold on to that" said Ashley "You might need it!"

"We're never gonna fucking find him!" said James "He could be miles away by now!"

"He wouldn't do that to us James!" said Laura

"How do you know?" asked James "Maybe he ran off with that Sarah bitch, or maybe that Ashley chick he was seeing!"

"James, will you just shut up?!" said Gordon

"Ya know," said James "I'm getting tired of you guys telling me to shut up and..." A shot was heard, and James fell to the ground holding his arm. "Where the fuck did that come from?" demanded James. The group looked to see a woman standing in an alley holding a handgun, with a smoking barrel. The woman aimed the gun at Laura, and took a shot. Laura quickly jumped out of the way. As Laura pulled out her guns, the woman ran into the alley.

"C'mon!" said Laura "That bitch is mine!" The group chased the woman into the alley, shots were exchanged as they ran. The running led them to a dead end, the woman was surrounded by the group.

"Drop the gun!" commanded Gordon

"No!" said Stacie "The Mistress's work must be done!" She aimed the gun at Laura. As she was about to take the shot, James pulled out his handgun and shot Stacie in the kneecaps.

"That's for my shoulder bitch!" said James. Laura knelt down beside Stacie

"Now, who exactly is this Mistress?" asked Laura

"The Mistress's work must be done!" said Stacie. Laura pulled out her handgun, and placed it in Stacie's mouth.

"Now," said Laura "I'm gonna ask you again." If you say 'the mistress's work must be done' I'm gonna paint this ground with your fucking brains! Do we have an understanding?" Stacie nodded. "Good" said Laura, as she pulled the gun out of Stacies mouth. "Now, who is this

Mistress?"

"The Mistress is our great leader!" said Stacie

"Good for you!" said Laura "Now does this Mistress have a name?" Stacie nodded. "Are you gonna tell me her name?" asked Laura, Stacie shook her head "Gordon?" said Laura. Gordon pumped his shotgun, and aimed it at Stacies face.

"Okay" Stacie gulped "our Mistress's name is Ashley"

"And where might we find this Ashley?" asked Laura

Stacie told them where to find the estate. They heard Stacie, as they started to leave the alley.

"Hey!" said Stacie "You're not just gonna leave me here like this are you?"

"Oh, So sorry!" said Laura, as Gordon handed her his shotgun, and she walked back to Stacie.

"Wh...What the fuck are you doing with that?" asked Stacie nervously

"This!" said Laura. Laura took the shotgun, aimed it at Stacies head, and pulled the trigger. The group walked out of the blood/brain soaked alleyway, and headed towards the estate.

"Is everything ready?" asked Ashley

"Almost Mistress!" said Sarah "In a few hours, you two will together."

"Has he been stripped?" asked Ashley

"Yes Mistress" said Sarah "I had Eleanor store away his weapons."

"Excellent," said Ashley "Can I see him?"

"Certainly!" said Sarah "We have him secured, no chance of escape!" Ashley and Sarah walked over to Jabos cell, they walked in to find him chained to a wall unconscious. Ashley walked up to Jabo, and gave him a kiss on the lips.

"Wake up sleepyhead!" said Ashley. Jabo lifted his head up to see Ashley. He tried to bring his arm forward, but found himself chained to the wall.

"What the fuck is going on here?" demanded Jabo

"Such language!" said Ashley "I hope your not like this on our honeymoon."

"Honeymoon?!" exclaimed Jabo "I don't think you're fucking comprehending this! When I said we'd be together forever, I was bullshitting you. Get that through your fucking skull!"

"Such a foul mouth!" said Ashley "I think you need another rest before the wedding!" Ashley pulled out a syringe filled with an anesthetic, and plunged it into Jabos arm.

"What the fuck do you think you're doing?" demanded Jabo "I..." Jabo then fell asleep. As Ashley and Sarah walked back to the throne room, they heard a loud blast.

"What the hell was that?" asked Ashley. As Sarah and Ashley began walking towards the main doors, one of the members named Amy came running towards them.

"What's going on?" demanded Ashley

"Outsiders trying to get in!" said Amy "Three of them!"

"Shit!" Sarah said to herself "I thought Stacie took care of them!"

"What should we do Mistress?" asked Amy

"Destroy them!" said Ashley

Outside the estate, the group was firing at the members of the estate. Gordon was throwing Molotov cocktails, taking out large groups of members. Laura and James were unloading

everything they could.

"James!" said Laura

"What?" asked James

"See the door over there?" asked Laura. Laura pointed at a doorway being guarded by four women armed with guns.

"Yeah I see it" said James

"Well," said Laura "I want you to clear an opening so I can get in!"

"Got ya!" said James. James pulled out a joint, and placed it in his mouth. As James took one of Gordons Molotov cocktails, he lit it, used the flame to light up his joint. James threw the cocktail, killing the four women instantly.

"Thanks James!" yelled Laura as she ran towards the door "I owe ya one!" As Laura ran inside, she was met by two women guarding the inside of the door. Laura instantly began opening fire, the two women fell to the ground dead. "Now where the fuck do they have him?" Laura asked herself. As she continued running, she saw two women in a room which held Jabos weapons. As Laura ran in the room, she saw a woman holding up Jabos M16.

"Drop the gun, bitch!" said Margaret as she held up the M16.

"Okay,Okay" said Laura, as she knelt down to put down her gun. she quickly pulled the gun out of her leg holster, and shot Margaret in the forehead. Margaret fell to the ground in a puddle of her own blood, and dropped the M16. As Laura went to reach for the M16. A Samurai blade was brought down in front of her. She looked up to see Eleanor holding the Samurai sword. As Laura went to lift her gun, Eleanor took a swipe, inches from Lauras neck. Laura quickly jumped

out of the way, and as she stood up she made a dash at Eleanor. When Laura was right up to Eleanor, she grabbed a hold of the handle of the sword. The sword began moving from Eleanor to Laura, as they struggled to overpower the other. As it looked as though the sword was about to pierce Lauras skin, she quickly edged the blade towards Eleanors throat, and pushed the blade in. Eleanor gurgled up blood as she fell forward. Laura turned her over, pulled the blade from her neck, and left the room. As Laura walked into the throne room, she heard the sound of movement in the room.

"Look Ashley, or Mistress, whatever the fuck you call yourself." said Laura "I suggest you show yourself, I'm not interested in a game of hide and seek right now!" Laura heard a noise behind her, and turned around to see Ashley standing in front of her throne. "Ok bitch!" said Laura "This ends now!"

"Some handiwork!" said James as him and Gordon ran through the building, running past the people Laura killed.

"I know,eh?" said Gordon "Well, that's what happens when you practice with Jabo!"

"So where the hell are they?" asked James

"Let's try down there!" said Gordon as he pointed at a hall with cell doors. As they ran down the halls, they came across the cell which held Jabo. James tried to open the door.

"It's locked!" said James

"I got the key!" said Gordon he pulled out his shotgun, and took a shot at the door. The blast broke the lock, and the door opened. As they walked in they found Jabo asleep, Gordon slapped him across the face.

"Hey Jabo!" said Gordon "Wake up!" Jabo woke up to see Gordon and James standing in front of him.

"Hey guys" said Jabo, with a weak smile "Where's Laura?"

"We don't know" said Gordon "she came running in here looking for you!"

"Well we gotta find her!" said Jabo "Help me out of here, then we have to find the room with my weapons!"

"Already found that room!" said James as Gordon used the butt of his shotgun to break the arm chains. Jabo, James, and Gordon then ran to the room which held Jabos weapons.

"You'll never leave her alive!" said Ashley who was bloody, bruised and showed signs of fatigue. Laura appeared the same way, as there long battle was nearing an end. Ashley pulled out her whip, and whipped it around Lauras neck. As Laura fell to the ground, Ashley slowly began pulling Laura towards her.

"I knew you'd never win!" said Ashley "You're weak and pathetic. I don't know how you figure Jabo could love you, he loves me! When I'm rid of you, I will be the only thing on Jabos mind. If he refuses, I'll brainwash him, like I've done to all my girls. Either way, he'll be mine! He'll never belong to a slut like you!" On the word slut, Laura slowly pulled out her handgun, and aimed it at Ashleys forehead.

"No one calls me slut!" said Laura as she took the shot.

Jabo, James, and Gordon ran into the throne room as they heard a painful yell. They ran into the room, to see Ashley face first in a pool of her own blood. Down from her, they saw Laura with a whip around her neck, and a smoking gun barrel. Jabo walked over and helped her up. Jabo took

the whip from around her neck, and handed it to James.

"Excellent!" said James as he rolled it up, and placed it around his neck.

"Are you okay?" asked Jabo

"Yeah!" said Laura "I'm fine, what about you?"

"A little tired, otherwise fine!" said Jabo. Laura smiled

"What the fuck was wrong was her?" asked Laura

"Was trying to figure that out myself!" said Jabo "Well let's go!" The group walked back to the Hummer and drove out of Rion. As they drove down the road, they heard a noise coming from the back.

"What the hell is that noise?" asked Jabo. Everyone shrugged their shoulders. All of a sudden, a figure appeared from the back, holding a gun.

"Sarah!" yelled Jabo. Sarah took the gun, and shot James in the head. James slumped over dead. "Take the wheel!" Jabo commanded Laura. Laura took a hold of the wheel, as Jabo pulled out his gun. Gordon stood up, to take care of Sarah as Jabo took a shot. The shot hit Gordon in the head, and he fell over dead. "You Fucking Bitch!" said Jabo as he continued to fire shots at Sarah. While exchanging shots, Sarah threw a knife, it entered the back of Lauras neck, she

fell over head. The Hummer began swerving around the road. As they continued fighting, a transport truck came down the road. As The truck hit the brakes, it collided with the Hummer. Both the Hummer, and the transport truck turned on their sides. The last thing Jabo saw was Sarahs bloody corpse, before both the Hummer, and transport truck burst into flames. As Jabos body burned, a smile came across his face.

The End
