Almost mechanically, my hand closed on the handle of a pan. Yes, I know, a totally badass weapon. I probably should’ve grabbed one of the large knives that were still by the vegetables. I mean, that would’ve been smarter than a dumb pan, but my thoughts hadn’t been “which kitchen appliance would inflict the most pain”. Nope, they were merely “fuck fuckity fuck” like a normal person’s.

I meant to aim for Chef’s head, but my short stature restricted such a movement. Instead, the pan connected with his balls. Now how, you may ask, did I mix up a man’s head with his manhood? That was a very interesting question, and it had an even better answer.

Which you will hear at a later time because, currently, I was meeting the wide-eyes of Ryder from where he had released the heavier man. He was panting, leaning against the kitchen counter with sweat beading across his forehead.

“Shit Addie,” he said, wincing in sympathy. His hand instinctively moved to cover his own balls, as if he was afraid my ball-clumsiness was contagious. Did he have such little faith in me?

“It was kind of an accident,” I muttered, slightly indignant. Whatever Ryder was going to say was interrupted by a rasping groan. Chef was ambling back to his feet, greasy hair matted down with blood and other unsavory substances. A pungent smell reached me as he took a step closer, hands outstretched. I raised my pan.

If that fucker wanted another swing to the penis, then I would be more than happy to deliver.

Asher came from behind Chef, arms constricting around the other man’s meaty neck. Chef buckled against his weight, but Asher held firm. It reminded me, vaguely, of a bull attempting to dislodge a rider. Chef’s red, piercing eyes began to slowly close, as if he was incapable of keeping them opened for a second longer. He slumped to the ground like a bag of rocks.

Asher and Ryder surrounded me immediately, each breathing heavily.

“Are you okay?” Asher asked between pants.

“I should be asking you that. All I did was hit him in the balls.”

“Cheap shot,” Ryder muttered, and I gave him a glare.

“Next time, I’ll allow him to eat your face off!” So I was lying, obviously, but he didn’t need to know that. I would never allow Ryder to lose his beautiful face. But a hand? He could survive with only one.

“We need to get down to the basement. Now,” Asher said, grabbing at my arm. His fingernails dug into my sensitive flesh, but I barely even flinched. I was used to the pain. I welcomed it.

“No!” I argued, wrenching my hand free. The attempt was futile, for Ryder merely grabbed my other arm and began pulling me the direction we came from. “I need to find my parents and get them to safety.”

“Something strange is going on,” Ryder insisted. He ignored my protests as we moved down the now abandoned hallway. I hoped that meant everybody had gotten to safety. I refused to think of the alternative.
