“Do not shoot her. Andrei wants her alive,” said a man who rushed in from behind me and pinned my hands behind my back. I winced. Pain radiated from my bullet wound. The man’s grip on my hands was strong, and no matter how I twisted, even though my hands weren’t tied, I couldn’t break away from his grip.
The man dragged me to where the others held my mother and bodyguards hostage.
“Abigail!” my mother cried the moment she saw me. “Let her go.” My mother struggled to free herself.
“I’m all right, Mom,” I lied.
“Let them go,” I demanded. Someone laughed.
“Hello, Abigail, I’m Andrei. Your father taught you well,” he said. He glanced at something behind me. “My men were plenty before.” He looked like one of those people you wouldn’t dare befriend. His eyes were cold, his dark-grey hair neatly brushed, and a plastic grin stretched across his face.
“Let them go,” I said again, tugging against the grip of the man who had me restrained. I was out of ideas, and I didn’t know what I was supposed to do next.
“How adorable,” he said.
“Andrei!” Someone rushed through the open door. The only words I understood were my father’s name and Andrei’s. The language being spoken sounded like a Slavic language, possibly Russian.
“It seems your father is coming to get you, we have to leave,” Andrei said as the men led my mother and bodyguards out after him. My mother screamed at them to let her go. Two remaining men followed my captor and me.
The man holding me pushed me forward, but I refused to budge. I made sure there was some space between me and my mother and bodyguards before I took another step. We followed them into the connected dining and sitting rooms. I watched as the people in front of us exited the library into the sitting room, and then I promptly halted.
The moment I stopped moving, I lifted my leg and stomped hard on the foot of the man holding me. I swung my elbow into his stomach and slipped out of his grasp. I didn’t waste any time before I connected my fist with the closest jaw. I cried out as someone punched me in the nose. Another blow landed in my jaw, and then it was three against one, and they were winning.
My mouth was filled with blood when I finally managed to swing a blow at one of them. I threw my fists out again, and then, reaching for one of the dining chairs, I swung it around and connected with the skull of one of the men. He fell down immediately, and I grabbed his gun.
The moment it was in my hands, I fired twice at the men rushing toward me. It was after they fell to the ground and blood splashed onto the floors, walls, and all over on my body that I felt a rush of anger and pain. I just shot two men; I killed them. Finally, I knew my father hadn’t been training me just to protect myself.
