Chapter Twenty-Five

I stayed in that same position – back straight, head held high – for a few minutes until the full weight of my situation brought me down to my knees, head bowed, fighting back useless tears.

My hands shook out of control, my inside quivered from a sundry of emotions: anger, resentment, bitterness, fear, grief… fury. I pressed my clenched fists to my eyes until I saw red – the color of my raging emotion. A scream began to build inside my chest, a pressure that grew and grew until I could no longer contain it.

“They did it again!” The words burst out of me as I pounded a fist hard on the mat.

I pounded and pounded with both fists, over and over again, but it wasn't enough. I jumped and whirled at the punching bag, taking my fury out on it with punches and kicks. Once I kicked so hard, it slapped the ceiling with a resounding boom. They had done it again.

My breaths came in panting gasps, the injuries on my back and shoulders stretching and spasming. Just when I thought I was getting my life on track, they had to come back to ruin everything.

“Just leave me be!” With a roar of fury, I slashed the bag with my talons, then fell down on my knees, covering my aching face with the palms of my hands, while sand fell through the slashes of the bag and formed a small dune in front of me. Like the sands of time in an hourglass, marking the near ending of my life.

They had done it again.

A hesitant throat clearing had me jumping to my feet and whirling around, talons bared, a savage snarl escaping my lips.

Diggy, dressed in his usual attire of jeans and leather, stood at the edge of the mat. A small frown creased his forehead. Concern or disapproval?

I bared him my teeth. “What? Come to gloat? You're finally getting rid of the abomination.”

Diggy's eyes hardened, his lips thinned. “I came to inform you that Roland is giving you the next two weeks off so that you can focus all your time and strength on the search.”

I scoffed, my tears threatening to break free. “I won't come back. I'm not going to find her.” Opening my arms wide, I raised my voice, “Everyone! In two weeks the world will finally be free of this abomination! It's time to celebrate!”

“Simmer down, Roxanne,” Diggy snapped, stomping onto the mat with his boots on.

“Or what? Are you going to punch and kick me until I go home unable to walk or sit without crying out? Because, oh yeah, been there, done that already.” Diggy's eyes went flat, but I didn't care. “I'm no longer your punching bag,” I told him, “And in two weeks, I won't be anyone's,”

“You'll never win if you believe you already lost before you start.”

“Bravo!” I clapped twice. “A philosopher. Was that lesson number five million?”

Diggy pursed his lips, pausing just a few feet away from me.

“News flash for you, pal.
