The bearded guy carries you off. “Where are we going?”
“Away from here so that I can think of ways to deal with that troublesome kitty.”
Kazimir’s voice booms off in the distance. “Scorpion!”
All hope returns to you.
He’s come to save you.
“Scorpion! Do you have my lover?!”
“Stupid kitty.” The Scorpion’s voice lowers. “By the time I’m done, there will be no lover.”
Chapter 5
The Battle
The bearded man carries you into a massive warehouse. Wooden crates and massive metal boxes are stacked all over the space.
Scorpion and several guys run up ahead.
You pray to God that Scorpion won’t win and take you away.
Kazimir and his men didn’t slow down. Their boots pound forward, matching the thumping of your heart and you know they’re so close.
Scorpion frantically glances over his shoulder. “Hurry up!”
His men barrel forward.
Sweat trickles down Scorpion’s forehead. “And get your goddamned guns out! Be ready!”
You struggle in the bearded man’s hold, hoping to slow him down.
You succeed.
He’s forced to stop and put you down for a few seconds and get a different grip on you. Soon as he plants your feet on the ground, you shove against him, and waddle away in the other direction.
Scorpion yells, “Get her!”
He runs toward you, and somehow you pick up your pace. Your lungs burn. Your legs ache.
The bearded man gets close and reaches for your arm. You dart to the side and scream, “Kazimir! Kazimir!”
Hurrying away, you wonder if he heard you.
Your question is answered when Kazimir’s deep voice roars back, “Novoluniye!”
“I’m here!” You scream back.
Bearded guy captures your waist.
You stumble backwards and hit at his face, but his grip is solid.
He pulls you to him, and places a hand over your mouth.
You struggle against him, but he’s too strong to overcome. He drags you to him and wraps his arm around your neck.
“You should have never done that.” Scorpion glares at you and gestures at the bearded man. “Kill that bitch!”
The bearded man lifts an AK-47 in your direction.
Terror chills your spine. You stiffen, your fear of death seizes you like an icy hand tightening around your throat.
The end is coming.
But, before the bearded man pulls the trigger. Suddenly, a bullet hole appears at the center of his forehead. Blood spills from the hole. His face is frozen in an expression of shock. His body goes limp and drops to the ground.
Stunned, Scorpion steps back. “What the—?”
“Novoluniye!”
You spin around.
Fearless, Kazimir races forward. looking like a modern day warrior. His face is twisted in a murderous snarl. His lips are pulled back and his nostrils are flared. His teeth barred in an animalistic rage. Fury blazes in his blue eyes.
His arms are outstretched. Both hands grip huge guns and he’s aiming at Scorpion and his men.
Relief washes over you.
Kazimir screams at the top of his lungs like an animal about to strike its prey. “Did you fucking hurt her, Scorpion?!”
Scorpion laughs and takes cover around metal boxes. “Here, Kitty Kitty!”
“Duck, Novoluniye!”
You dive to the floor. Your breasts press against the cold floor.
Your heart pounds in your chest.
Thundering down the hall, Kazimir roars and blasts his guns. The air ripples and throbs as bullets whiz by and fly over you.
You do your best to slide away, staying low, but getting out of the line of fire.
Scorpion yells, “Kill that fucking Lion!”
More of Kazimir’s men round the corner, racing your way. Their assault rifles are held out in front of them. They fire at Scorpion’s people.
You find a wooden crate and crouch behind it.
The battle rages around you, flooding your body with panic.
You peek over the side of the box.
So many men appear from both sides. Bullets buzz from the left and right. Smoke fills the air.
The gunfire is deafening, thudding and booming. Your ears ring. Men scream in pain as bullets sink into their bodies. The acrid scent of gunpowder mixes with the stank of blood and death.
You spot Kazimir grappling with one of Scorpion’s men. Although both had lost their weapons, Kazimir fights with a burning fierceness.
Roaring, Kazimir flips the man on his back, jumps on top of him, and locks his hands around the man’s throat. The veins in Kazimir’s arms bulge.
The man’s feet shake. He slaps at Kazimir’s arms. His face turns dark red. His eyes bulge.
Kazimir tightens his grip, lifts him up by his neck, and slams his head into the ground over and over and over. Blood splatters out the back of his head with each slam.
You search the floor around you, hoping to find a weapon for yourself. None are near.
You turn back in Kazimir’s direction. The man lays dead on the floor. Kazimir is back on his feet and he’s frantically searching the space.
Kazimir emerges from the smoke. “Novoluniye!”
You scream to him. “I’m here!”
He races to you, sees your nudity, and rushes to take off his suit coat. “I swear I will kill him.”
