Twenty Two

“Let go of me!” Lyneah shrieked, which attracted the attention of several concerned onlookers. Many of them looked like they wanted to help, but as long as Anthony had a gun to her throat, they were powerless to act.

“Let go of you? You must know that's a useless request. I don't plan on letting you go anytime soon, Lyneah.” Keeping the gun against her neck, Anthony lifted her up and carried her a few feet backward. “Just so you know, I'm taking you to my airship. It's waiting for us on the edge of Sheepsgate.”

“Why?” Lyneah hissed. “Why are you doing this? Why would you side with my mother over me? It doesn't make sense!”

“Because your mother pays better.” Anthony ran a hand along her neck, then dipped a finger into her cleavage. “I'm sorry it had to be like this, love. It really does feel wonderful to hold you again.” He buried his face in her hair, inhaling deeply. “And my god, you smell good.”

“I swear to god, Anthony, if you don't let me go right now, I will see you punished in the severest way possible!” Lyneah's eyes helplessly scanned the crowd of bystanders. They were people who had agreed to follow her. They were people who needed to see her as a strong leader. Lyneah could only imagine what they were thinking of her now.

Anthony's hand dipped into the top of her dress. When she felt him fondling her, she wanted to scream. Lyneah knew she had to free herself—because who could she rely on, if not herself? While his hand groped her bosom, Lyneah's fist sailed backward, punching him in the groan. Anthony roared with pain, and while he whimpered, she slammed her elbow into his nose and tried to grab the gun. Somehow, her plan worked. A few seconds later, the gun was in her hand. As Anthony staggered backward, moaning and gripping his nose, Lyneah turned around and raised her weapon.

In the corner of her eye, she saw Francis Doon rushing toward them, drawing his sword, presumably to skewer her attacker. Before Doon could reach him, Tobias charged forward, seemingly out of nowhere, and tackled Anthony to the ground. As he pinned him down, Tobias drove his fist into Anthony's face, again and again. He felt the man's nose shatter under one of the blows, but he didn't stop. He pounded his mouth, his jaw, his forehead. As she watched Tobias pummel her fallen attacker, Lyneah shuddered. She had never seen him look so enraged.

When Anthony tried to fight back, Tobias ducked the incoming fist and pulled out his gun. He slammed the gun's muzzle against Anthony's front teeth, breaking one of them. As he shoved the barrel between Anthony's gasping lips, he roared, “Is there any reason why I shouldn't scatter your brains right now?”

“Tobey...” Lyneah whispered his name, hoping to call him back from his rage. “You don't have to do this.”

Tobias removed the gun from Anthony's mouth and pressed it against his forehead, as roughly as he could.
