The Liar

Abe

“Your family did. Your Brotherhood did. This whole fucking world did. You did by being complicit in its actions. You abandoned me,” she answers me, with no fear evident as she holds me at gunpoint. My Atasi, her beautiful stormy blue eyes shining brightly with the conviction of her words.

No, she’s no longer my Atasi; she has become some other creature—one who lives without fear, and revels in the acts of war.

I let my gaze travel from the top of her dark head, along her supple tattooed body, and down to her feet, cataloging all the weapons she has attached to her like some badass vigilante from some of the movies long before our time. Long before the world decided women like her couldn’t exist.

The pain in my shoulder from where the arrow landed, and I had to pull it out, throbs along with the various cuts and bruises I now have. My arm drips with blood down to my hand, making my hold on her sharp blade precarious.

Fuck, she is stunning. Dangerous, but stunning.

I stare up at the cut on her face that is trickling blood. The psycho pushed her own face into the blade, not knowing if I would back down. A shiver of unease races down my spine at the knowledge that this woman before me is a warrior, unafraid to die. Refusing to cower or give even an inch. She says our world has turned her into what I see before me.

Strength. Bravery. Insanity.

When Ezekiel was adamant it was her that took him down, that she was, in fact, the killer, I had my doubts. I thought for sure the knock to his head made him delirious and imagining things. How could my Atasi be the killer? The Holy fucking Ghost?

Even on our journey here, thoughts and doubts plagued me. She was so gentle before, a ray of sweet sunshine that would brighten my day. My little blue spring flower, always sweet-smelling and delicate. Always begging to play games or sing songs. How did she change from my precious Atasi to what I see before me now?

“Atasi, please put down the fucking gun before you shoot someone.”

Her dark shapely eyebrows rise, and her beautiful blue-gray eyes glint as she points the gun at my feet and pulls the fucking trigger. The shot fires mere inches from my foot as I jump backward. My heart races in my chest, and utter disbelief must be evident on my face as my jaw drops.

“You mean like that?” She questions with an unhinged grin across her bleeding face.

Holy fuck, she’s completely nuts. She’s going to fucking shoot me. I’m going to kill Zeke when I get my hands on him, for talking me into coming here to save this psychopath. She doesn’t need saving from the Brotherhood; she needs saving from herself.

Zeke. Fuck. If she’s here with me, holding me at gunpoint, does that mean her guard is hunting Zeke down? Zeke, who has a concussion and not enough weapons to fight these two assholes off?

“We are…not here…to hurt you, Atasi.
