Synopsis: After Ty went away Aislinn’s group seems to be dismantling. Jace is preoccupied with Inhert and Maddox is thinking of switching allies. Also Aislinn must deal with her deeds. Is there a crumbling between Isabella and Madison? And will a new character change Madison’s heart?

 

Last week on the INSIDE……

With Ty facing the behemoth Genesis, Aislinn could only help her prepare for certain demise…

"Why do you care huh?"

"Because…I consider you an ally…you’re no good to me half dead."

"Just show me how to move…. I can beat this jolly green giant."

"Alright…in the yard tomorrow…. tonight get some sleep."

Inhert and Jace still struggle with their relationship woes……

"Come on we’ve had fun…time to go back."

"Wait…what do you mean we both had fun."

"Yeah it was fun."

Inhert stood and crossed her arms leaning against the small bed in the nurse’s office.

"So…this is just."

"This is just what it is…okay…don’t make things complicated."

Jace kissed Inhert’s forehead and exited the office. Inhert began to dress and wiped the tears that were beginning to form in her eyes.

Ty lost the battle with Genesis…..

Genesis swung as far back as she could and hit Ty with and uppercut that lifted her off her feet and sent her crashing into the ropes. Ty lip, nose and eye were bleeding profusely and Inhert called the match and raised Genesis’s hand in victory.

While Aislinn discovers some shocking news about Ellery…..

"My brother…was murdered by a fighter…I never found out who it was…I just didn’t want to know...I’d rather never find out."

Aislinn’s mouth went dry and she cleared her throat.

"When?"

"Few months back right here in Atlanta at this small gym, some monster beat his face in, so badly his nose bone went into his brain."

With this new burden on her mind and new events happenings how will Aislinn and the rest deal with life on the……INSIDE!

Dealing

"What is that over there?" Aislinn said wiping cheerio milk that dribbled down her chin with the back of her hand.

"It says library moron what the hell do you think it is?" Jace said stretching and stealing a glance at Inhert.

Maddox crossed her arms and stared at the women who passed by dressed in a very conservative pair of slacks and light blue dress shirt. She had her blonde hair tied back in a neat ponytail that swung daintily from side to side as she walked. Maddox whistled at her and she turned only to smirk and continue on towards the library.

"Man, bet Ty would howl at that huh’?"

"Ty’s probably some where around here getting fed tortillas and sipping cold beers, she ain’t worried about you."

"Damn, Jace…jealous?"

"No, just telling it like it is."

"We got a library now?"

"Aren’t you the bright one?" Isabella said sarcastically flinging a spoon full of cheerios at the nearest inmate who frowned and looked at Madison then quickly went back to eating. Isabella laughed and looked over at Madison who had full concentration on the librarian. Isabella angrily nudged her in the shoulder.

"What you looking like you want some of that."

"No...No…just thinking of how many ways that place is going to get trashed."

"Madison?"

"What Gen?"

"I think Ty was happy."

"You mention that one more time I’ll gut you."

Genesis laughed and patted Madison on the back with a playful blow that was damn near fatal for Madison.

"Just doing that to snap you back to reality."

"Stop playing…we got business to deal…Savion…Isabella."

They both snatched around to attention. "The plan is still in process am I right?"

"Yeah…yeah baby." Isabella said kissing the side of Madison’s neck.

"Good." She said eyes still locked on the library. "Good."

 

"Ladies and Gentleman welcome to the Metro maximum security prison for women of Atlanta’s…..library!"

The young British women said smiling widely. She looked around at her audience who was not quite as thrilled as she was.

"I’m Mrs. Amy Frost…. any questions?"

"Yeah." A hand raised in the back. "You there, in the back….go ahead."

One studdy inmate stood and said between laughs. "You a femme or a stud?"

The entire room bursts into laughter and the comment caused her face to redden. "Those of you who think I do not know what she is talking about, is sadly mistaken…I am not as young as I seem and I’ve read all about prison lingo so to that I say young lady….I do not believe in labels."

She turned and brought some papers up from her small information desk and asked for Inhert to pass them around.

"These papers are for the G.E.D program I am starting here…now if you have a question please do not hesitate to ask."

Amy looked from one end of the room to the next and realized no one was worried with it.

"Okay well the sign up sheet is up here please feel free to sign up…. that’s all the time I ask of you…remember I’m here if you need me."

Amy hung her head a little saddened as the women filed out of the room and not a soul signed the list. A head peeked back in the door and Amy looked up to see a single women walk back into the room.

"I’m so happy you decided to join…sign here."

The women signed the sheet and Amy looked at the name with pride. "Madison…great for you!"

 

 

"Aislinn."

Aislinn recognized that sultry voice anywhere it was the voice of one Isabella.

"Isabella how terrible it is to see you."

"Cut the crap…you watched us last night."

"You wanted me to see."

"I couldn’t exactly force your eyes open…now that those chimps are gone, I need to talk some real business with you Aislinn."

"What business is that?"

"Other then wanting to fuck you….oh…oh so bad…I need your protection."

"From what?"

"This prison."

"You got Madison."

"I had Madison…she’s soft…you’re the one to beat now Aislinn and I want you.."

"Isabella, me and Madison already have a grudge….listen I just don’t need this right now."

"Really?"

Isabella came close to Aislinn and reached inside the crotch area of her jumpsuit getting her hand as deep as she could. She slid her panties aside and massaged her clitoris slowly making Aislinn shudder from head to toe. Isabella took the hand out and licked it clean.

"Keep holding out, it makes for better sex anyway." Isabella sauntered away and Aislinn looked around to see if anyone was looking. No one had seen and she walked away still charged from the feelings Isabella left behind.

 

Aislinn tossed turned and finally fell into a sleep.

She was all of a sudden in a ring and turned to see Ellery’s brother swinging at her. She dodged his blows warning him to get back.

"Get back!"

"C’mon bitch! Fight me!"

"Just get back."

"No you fight me now!"

"Please just stop!"

He landed a punch and then she knocked him down and beat his face in. She punched and punched and when she finally looked down she saw Ellery laying in her brother’s place her face beaten and battered.

"Why Aislinn….I thought I could trust you…why?"

"I..I…I"

"You what…you murdering bitch!"

Aislinn jumped from her sleep yelling at the top of her lungs and began to breath heavy. She laid on her back feeling herself covered in sweat.

"Must have been a bad dream."

She looked at her pillow to see blood; in fact, her whole bunk was filled with it. She rolled over to see Ellery’s beaten and bloody body lying next to her.

Aislinn shot up hitting her head on the bunk over the top of her. She grabbed her head and sat her back hunched over and her feet hanging from the side of the bed.

"Goddamn it…..goddamn it."

 

"Would Denise Waters and Phyllis Dylan report to my office."

"Damn they look happy."

"Yeah…wait till’ they get in that bitch, they’ll be crawling out on there knees."

"Guys can I ask you some questions."

"Sure, Aislinn go ahead."

"Well…how do you know if you love some one?"

"Well.." Jace said her eyes secretly peering across to Inhert. "You have to miss them when they’re yards away, and when you get a chance to kiss them, you kiss them like you haven’t seen them in years."

Jace sighed and continued with a slight whimper in her voice. "When you feel there arms you feel like no one can hurt you and there scent reminds you of memories long before you even met them." She shook her head. "When you taste them, they taste exotic…the salts of their bodies taste better than any delicacies from miles around the globe, when you see them you see a piece of you in there eyes…. that’s when you love some one Ais."

Maddox scoffed and slapped her domino on the table.

"Twenty bitch!"

Maddox got up and began to celebrate by doing the chicken dance. She strutted around Jace who got up from the table in disgust and walked into the library.

"Damn man she was obviously venting."

"Fuck her no one gives a damn about her and her woes, I’m tired of being her shoulder to cry on."

Maddox slammed the table with her fist. "I have to go…aight’."

Maddox went and sat with another group leaving Aislinn at the table alone.

"Hello Mrs. Frost."

"Hey Inhert interested in reading something?"

"Yeah, I’ll find it myself."

Inhert walked to the back of the library that no one could see and saw Jace sitting down crying. She sat beside her and placed an arm around her waist and kissed her shoulder.

"What’s wrong?" Inhert said in a voice lower than a whisper.

"Nothing, it’s just that...we were talking and…"

"And?"

"I just thought of what we do and…"

"And?"

"Let me finish." She stood and Inhert did as well taking both her hands and looking into her eyes.

"I just thought that maybe, maybe I didn’t mean what I said…about you and me.."

"I understand.."

Jace leaned over and kissed Madison, like she hadn’t seen her in years. But Jace broke away.

"I love you too Jace…I mean…I love you Jacqueline."

"I…I..Just can’t…"

Jace ran out of the library. Inhert punched a bookcase and shrank back down into the corner where Jace once sat.

"Yeah!" Madison smiled her teeth gleaming in the sun. "I got three cartons on that bitch!"

"Kick her ass!’

The girl in the ring was reeling from the blows she was receiving. The two had been going for an hour and they didn’t show any signs of stopping.

"Go Phyllis…. knock her out!" Maddox yelled seeming a bit blood thirstier than when Aislinn first met her.

Jace stood watching the two women battle with a blank look on her face. Aislinn couldn’t help but think of Ty. How things had fallen apart and she had only been gone for six days. But it was okay…. she’d be back tomorrow, back to make us all laugh and patch this obvious rift between the group that was starting.

The bell rang and Phyllis raised her bloody hand in victory while Denise lay against the rope with her head down. A commotion started and Denise hit Phyllis from behind, Inhert jumped in ring and had to pull the two apart. The gleam of a blade caught Aislinn’s eye as it switched from hand to hand and then found itself in ring. Denise picked it up and started to walk towards Phyllis. Aislinn stood motionless but Inhert saw it too and jumped in the way of the blade pushing Phyllis aside who went crashing to the ground. Inhert stood her hand looking down at the blade caught in her arm. A rush of guards tackled Denise as Inhert slumped to the ground holding the twisted metal in her arm. Ellery came running outside with a radio in her hand. She was yelling something as another two guards ran from inside. They grabbed Inhert and left the crowd to the rest. Jace ran after the two guards and they yelled at her to get back. Tears were streaming down her face as she turned away. A mob ran in her direction and she seemed so distraught she didn’t even notice the girls being herded inside by the officers. Aislinn tore ass and scooped the small girl up and entered the building. The crowd ripped them apart and Aislinn bumped into a guard accidentally. The last thing she remembered was seeing Jace’s tiny face. She heard a thud and the world went dark.

 

"You’re letting her back among the prisoner’s after she just tried to kill a guard."

"She wasn’t aiming for Inhert."

"And the difference is?"

"Listen." Jones said taping her finger on the desk. "She was aiming for the opponent and plus there’s really nothing I can do about it Ellery."

"Since you’ve instated this game…this place has been filled with violence."

"Give me my sport I gave them a library a school program…only one names on the list but it’s girls beating my door down for a chance to fight!"

"One inmate told me it was all she knew how to do, you capitalize on these girls situations and it’ sick Jones!"

"It gives them meaning in their lives, can you give them that with a book?"

"Knowledge is power Jones!"

"Not in here, out there they can use the education to get a job but in here it means shit, they are in for life they might as well get some perks!"

"When some one ends up dieing you won’t be so goddamn smug Jones!"

"When and if!"

"When and if, Inhert could have died…you act as if you don’t even care!"

"I do care Ellery it’s just I really don’t give a rat’s ass about them, they will be punished for Inhert but these inmates might as well be animals Ellery!"

"You are sick these are people and your gambling with their life like their cattle!"

"Wait till’ one of them burns your ass you won’t be so merciful then…now go cool down before you lose a job!"

Ellery stormed from the office and Jones let out a sigh of relief. She took out a flask and took a heavy swig and went back to her work.

 

"How’s your head?"

"Ellery?"

"Bitch do I look like a middle aged white women!"

Aislinn sat up slowly and made sure not to hit her head on the top bunk.

"Ty!"

Aislinn jumped up and hugged Ty tightly and picked her up a bit.

"Okay calm down Ais."

"We missed you…what time is it?"

"I just got back just in time for breakfast huh’?"

"Yeah, just in time T."

"Something happened?"

"What?"

"Maddox is acting weird and Jace you can’t get a word out of her lately without her running away."

"Shit, what did you do?"

"Nothing?"

"Just let them snap back, it’ll be okay..K."

"Alright."

"Now, let’s catch up."

"You’re gone soft!"

"Just cuz’ I signed up…did she tell you?"

"Yeah, what you need to learn for."

"To better herself."

"Shut up Genesis…want to be around her that’s all!"

"No..Listen.."

"Fuck it…you want to learn here’s a lesson, Denise tried to blade our girl after the fight you saw that."

"Yeah.."

"Did you?"

"Yes damnit!"

"What you gonna’ do about it."

"Let Savion blade her in the shower."

"Why don’t you do it?"

"I don’t fee like it."

"Sure, you don’t want to disappoint your new teacher…you’re soft."

Madison stood and back slapped the taste right from Isabella’s mouth, which caused the entire cafeteria to look at them. Isabella fell to the floor with a smile on her face.

"I am not soft!"

Two guards grabbed Madison and drug her into the warden’s office.

Genesis tried to help Isabella up and she slapped her hand away. She got up on her own and sat down as if nothing happened.

"You okay?" Savion asked looking around the cafeteria.

"I’m fine…. just fine." She said looking at Maddox.

Isabella washed in a corner that day her and Madison obviously weren’t getting along. In fact Madison had disappeared. Then a violent uproar began. Not slowly but quickly as if something in the corner was being covered up. A crowd gathered and the stand in for Inhert pushed and pulled through them. Madison pushed through and cornered Denise.

"You a soar loser huh’?"

"No, Maddy I just."

"You just what…you try to blade my girl you trying to blade me bitch!"

Madison rammed her against the wall and whispered in her ear.

"The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside still waters."

The guard was still pulling through bodies trying to get to the center of the out burst.

"He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name’s sake.

The guard was working through but a girl pushed her back a bit more. The guard fell down and radioed for immediate back up.

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod…"

A guard ran and pulled her baton out and began to fight off inmates.

"…And thy staff.."

A bunch of guards began to beat back women with their batons.

"..They comfort me."

"Please Maddy…I didn’t mean it."

Madison kept reciting a tear trickling down her cheek.

"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over!"

"Please Maddy have mercy...I didn’t even get to her!"

"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I…"

Madison took the blade and rammed it in the girl’s chest.

"Will dwell…"

She twisted the blade and tore it out then shoved it again blood dripping down her hands.

"…. In the house of the Lord…"

Madison twist the shank, pulled it out then plunged it in again.

"…. For ever!"

She pulled the blade out and wiped it on her towel she stuffed in her other towel. She wiped it clean in seconds and dropped it. The crowd finally broke through and the guards stood back in shock to see the dead body lying still with water washing the blood all over the shower room floor. Madison got out of the crowd and ditched the towel in a corner with the other dirty rags. She looked at Isabella who stood laughing in a corner. She looked at the sky and whispered.

"Amen."

"You see…they are both soft…I need you Maddox."

"Me?"

"Yeah, I been watching you stand up to Aislinn you can take them both….with me we could rule."

"Yeah, but why me."

"Cuz’ you got it baby!"

"I do don’t I."

"She hit me Maddox...and she hurt me."

"Never again…give me time I’ll do it…just give me time."

"Thank you."

Maddox stalked off as Isabella sat down at the library stool and shook her fake sadness away. She let out a giggle and then let her small smirk fall away.

"Hook, line and sinker."
