She's Sweet But Psycho
Mei Li tucked and rolled. The chubby boy that swung at her balanced himself just in time to avoid diving headfirst into the sand. He spun and glared at her.
"you're just messing with me right?" he fumed "fight you bastard"
In his anger, he swung the makeshift club clumsily at her but she easily dodged the strike
"Are you sure Jackie?" she mocked him "I'd hate for your mama to come complaining...again" Mei Li grinned arrogantly at him. As if she'd ever fight him. The last time she beat him up his mother had shamelessly reported her to her stepmom and Mei Li had been beaten and starved for three days. Now she planned to remain on the defensive till he got tired, then she'd go in for the kill.
His face turned red at her mockery "At least I've got a momma, at least mine didn't kill herself because she hated me"
Mei Lei's face darkened dangerously then slowly her lips curved in a smile
"what did you say?"
Jackie that fool couldn't sense her bloodlust and confidently repeated "your mama killed herself because she hated you, you killed your momma with your bad jinx"
Mei Li studied the scar on her wrist for a bit but she still had that sweet...sickly sweet smile "and who told you that"
"my momma told me, last time when you broke my tooth, she said you're bad for killing your ma and she said it's good since you're momma was an awful person"
Mei Li turned to him the grin nearly splitting her face in two and her dark eyes where crescents. She moved closer to him "oh sweet beautiful Jackie"
The boy blushed at her endearment even as he still glared stubbornly at her
Her next words came out in an airy whisper "Jackie? have you ever been killed before...no? drop the key, then run Jackie...run"
For a few seconds, Jackie seemed stunned. The few kids watching their fight started shouting
"do it, Jackie"
"run Jackie run"
"oh no she's gonna kill him...should we call his ma"
"no! we'll all get in trouble"
"Is this a fight or a battle?"
"Mei Li challenged Jackie for that weird key so...it's a battle"
"good means we don't have to stop them...Mei Li looks..."
"Like she wants to eat him?"
While Jackie stood in stunned silence Mei Li already charged towards him "you won't run Jackie? fine...then die Jackie die...and when you get to hell, say hello to my mama"
Jackie dodged the first few attacks, but she was so fast that all he could do was defend himself. He held on for a short while but soon sweat beaded his brows and he started to wheeze. Jackie's chubby face scrunched up in pain as Mei Li moved through his defences and her bony fist struck his left eye. He fell and clutched his eye, the boy gave up on appearances and dignity and started bawling on the ground.
When she saw him screaming in the sand Mei Lei straightened and grinned down at him "we'll go to the swamp court. now!"

About twenty children were gathered under the shade of a few trees. They were between the ages of 6 to 14. They each sat on a small log of wood. Five kids were in front. Three of them where the swamp leaders and the other two where Mei Li and Jackie.
One of the leaders a slim boy with red hair and glasses...
