Beyond captivating

Chapter 15

I smile towards them and wiped on my ropes.
"Come get me if you can!"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Two were fast to race towards me while I weaved at each of their attacks.

I raced further and flipped my ropes at the two heads coming towards me.
A loud pitiful cry cut in their throat at the pains it brought.

I raced further and flew towards their direction.
The desire to kill them all overwhelmed me. The hatred I felt was so dark and black.
Their entire being irritates me.
The mere thought of being raped by some rich thugs made the anger bubbled in my gut like some hot acid.
And the feeling that the father of my son was also one exploded the fury in me.
The more it kept coming to my head.
The more my whole form burnt and trembled with outrage.
I sent two of them off foot with my ropes and weaved at the blows coming from behind.
In one lightning fast motion, I back fleeted and pounced my fist at the one sending irritating curses at me.

"Take this you fool!"

He staggered backwards while he made a painful noise.
I turned around like wild tiger as I focused on all of their movements, every twitch, every pressure point, every vulnerability.
They charged forward again not ready to concede defeat, this time I raced towards them in a zigzag manner.
The three coming towards me became confused.
I slapped the rope on their faces with speed while I gave the last one double two outstretched kick.
Others were coming. I took advantage of the opening and swung around.
I jammed two in the solar plexus.
Twisted the rope around one neck and gave the other a knock out kick.

The farther I fought the angrier I became.
I was about turning when the last one hit on me.
I sent him a back hand and angrily gave him the beatings of his life.

Now holding his tired blood covered form in the neck, I was about giving him a finishing (knock out ) when I sighted Lucas.

His throat was working convulsively as if he was trying to swallow some thing too big for his esophagus.
He was staring at the scene like someone in shock.

He staggered on his feet.
His eyes was gleaming with feral light as it bored holes through me.

I hesitated for a moment before I finally released the blow I was about sending towards the last guy.
I pushed him hard instead.
Lucas kept retreating backwards. Surely, he was unaware of the pole behind him.
Shit!

I wrapped my ropes together and raced towards him.
The girl with him was also staring at the scene in shock.
I pushed her sideways only to realise she weigh next to nothing.

Doesn't she eat? Gosh!
When I glanced back at her, she was already on the floor staring up at me as if she just sighted the devil.
I glanced back at Lucas, and grabbed hold of his arm.

"Lucas. " I said softly
As if jeering him back to life.
He closed his eyes and raised his left hand to his fore head.
The muscles in his jaw were working.

I realised I only stood there staring at him.

Wondering why someone as useless as him could have so much beauty.

I quickly glanced away not wanting to keep staring at him.
I swallowed while I wiped the sweat coming down my forehead.

This guy's looks could indeed make any woman's heart weak.
I felt the banging in my chest.
I was blinking rapidly now when I slowly glanced back at him this time I sighted his eye lashes, long and black.

Just like Jamie's, and his skin color.
For a moment everything was caught and held.

Words, breath, airs, silence descended in my ears before the old Frigidaire kicked in with a thumb and hum.
Noo! Noo! Never! It can't be!
I turned the thought off before it could rattle me.
