Chapter 9

On the journey to Reficul’s domain, something within me tightened. That’s the only way I know how to describe it. Much like you would imagine a corset sucking all the breath out of you, as its strings were pulled securely around your waist, a hardness began to take over my body. I could feel it moving slowly through my veins, making its way to my heart. I was angry, mental hospital crazy. I wanted to kill them all. Murder them one by one very slowly and painfully. I wanted them to bleed, as I stood by engulfed in the sounds of their screams. I wanted them to suffer like I was. They had taken everything from me. I could feel myself suffocating beneath the weight of it all.

Just as my raged peaked, the truck came to an abrupt stop. Throwing me to the floor, I received a large gash in my head. I heard shouting and what sounded like fighting going on just outside. I promptly jumped to my feet grabbing for my head and peered out of the small openings in the side of the truck. There before me, I saw Calev, my knight in shining armor, holding a gun toward the driver’s side of the vehicle. Before I knew it, the sound of keys thrashing violently at the back doors captured my attention and just like that, they were open. Shim, my dear Shim, stood before me. Quickly leaping into the back of the truck, he freed me from my chains. The four men we had met at the restaurant only days earlier were positioned outside the door. They stood firm and unbreakable like a steel wall, my heroes.

Blood flowed from my head turning my hair as crimson as a morning horizon that issues warning to the seamen. It blew in the wind behind me resembling a flag from a warship, red in color, as if announcing I would show no mercy to my enemies. My intentions made known to all. I would fight, and I would win.

My heart skipped a beat as we hurried toward the getaway car waiting just behind us. Calev now had Mr. Emsworth on his knees before him with the gun pointed at his head. A feeling of pity ran through my veins for only a brief moment before it was castrated by the revenge that now lay in wait within me, ready to pounce on its prey. I hated the evil that was in Mr. Emsworth. Death itself seemed like it was too good for him, his life ending so quickly without having to suffer for his evil deeds.

As my mind raced, we all screamed for Calev to hurry and then I saw it, that sad look in his eyes. He had seen Levona and for a brief moment became distracted. Taking advantage, Mr. Emsworth kicked the gun out of his hands and jumped back in to the truck which seemed to take off like a rocket. Dropping to his knees, Calev banged his fists against the ground.
