Crime and Passion

By Candice Christian

Brenda and Brooke are mother and daughter. They live in a remote location, deep in a forest separated from most of civilization. Brenda is a single parent; she has spent her life homeschooling Brooke and teaching her all her survivalist skills.

Brenda's friend Sydney is one of the few outsiders that Brooke has contact with, causing her to wait anxiously for the sexy older woman's weekly visits to their home. Just for news from the outside, and to be near the beauty. Brenda and Sydney are friends from a past life, that much Brooke knows but Brenda is hesitant to let her daughter learn much of her past life.

It is obvious to Brooke that Sydney and her mother are closer than friends since they have her leave the house for several hours while they have their weekly ‘serious discussions’. By chance however, Brooke overhears a portion of their conversation and what she learns leaves her confused and wanting more answers. So she decides that if her mother won't tell her perhaps Sydney will.

Fearful that Brooke won’t hear the real story, Brenda breaks down an tells her story. She relates the shocking truth about her past life, and the real reason behind her father and baby brother’s deaths. Armed with this knowledge Brooke is resolved to be a part of her mother's secret life.

Chapter One

We'll be heading out at 5, get ready and pack your things, my mother told me. We'd be going out in the woods, it's where we lived. Everyday where I honed my skills with the knife and develop my own style of using it.

Today I turned 18, this was the day where I would be handling a gun for the first time. As the sound of our feet switching from left right left right left right brushing against the wild grass and the cracking of the fallen branches from tall trees surrounding the place, we arrived at my own training zone.

My mother had discovered this place, where leaves did not grow and trees did not dare to set foot on, this became my second home, my base. My mother took out the guns and bullets, my eyes set on them and my hand was craving the feel of heavy plastic and metal. She handed me one.

You already know what to do with it, she said as she patted my shoulder, probably telling me to not be nervous.

Well, I wasn't really, I was excited like a child who was given candies. Wanting to taste the sweetness and the sense of satisfaction when the candy touched your tongue and the sugar flowed.

Bang. Bang. bang. I'd shot the dummy three times, all of them which hit the head.
