When a Lynx Meets a Leopard [Ash Lynx x fem reader]

Chapter 41: 'given you a chance'

Song: Freaks
By: Surf Curse

(Y/n) POV

I heard laughing. Arthur was laughing. "Shot right through him. How are you feeling right now?" He chuckled, walking over to Ash as he was pulled back into place my his chains. "What a buddy you are. Shorter's such a lucky guy. How does it feel, shooting your best friend down?" As Arthur spoke, Shorter was pulled off me and I yanked upwards by the hair. 

"Oi! Don't touch him! Get your filthy hands off of him!" I seethed, pulling against the people holding me back. I did break away, swiftly grabbing a discarded knife and plunging it into the stomach of the guy who held me. The man yelped in pain, backing away and holding his stomach while I stood there, bloody knife in hand and shaking. 

"Dino." I groaned, looking up at where he was sat above. "I'm going to kill you. You will die at my hands." I cried, throwing the blade in my hand towards him. It didn't hit, although it wasn't intended to.  It simply flew past his ear and into the plush red cushioned wall behind him. I saw him smirk, then everything faded back into darkness.

Wanna know something that I've done one too many times? Well, I've regained consciousness alone in a dark room one too many times. It never gets better. Each time is equally as terrifying. It's even worse when you are laying in a pool of your own blood. Hey, at least I get a bed this time.

A window was at the opposite end of the room. The sky was dark and cloudy, the moonlight somehow seeping through the thick fog in the sky. I stood up shakily, walking over to the window. I was three storeys up, jumping out would be suicide. Although, that would be preferable to staying under the same roof as Dino. However, the window was locked and I hadn't the strength to break it.

All night I paced the room, refusing to sleep. I also cried. I was so scared about what was to come, for me, Ibe, Max but mostly about Ash. My mind never once drifted from him as I silently prayed he would be alright.

Ash's POV

All I could do was watch as Dino's men took Shorter and (Y/n) away. Ibe and Max were still there, still chained up. Arthur was also there, right in front of my face. "(Y/n)...Where are they taking her?" I found myself asking Arthur, my eyes not leaving the last place I saw her. "I told you. She's going down the same road you did. And the we'll use Banana Fish to make her kill you."

"Please stop. I beg you. Just kill me." I begged as tears fell from my eyes, hanging my head in shame. "I see it's hard, even on you. But you're not getting off the hook that easily." Arthur smirked, it was clear he was enjoying this. He picked up a knife, tilting my head up with it. "We've got plenty of time. I'm not killing you get." He chuckled as I screwed my eyes closed. "Not until you scream, begging me to kill you. Let me hear you scream." He said wickedly, dragging the blade down my covered chest and breaking a few buttons.

After that, Arthur left and didn't return. The next person to walk through that door was Yut-Lung. I glared at him after mistaking him for Griffin and Eiji. "I see you still have enough strength left to glare at me. You sure are tough. That Arthur character must really hold a grudge against you." He said without any emotion, stepping forwards to rub something on my neck. "Don't touch me!" I yelled, pulling away as best I could. "It's just ointment." He replied calmly, rubbing the cool gel against the cut on my neck.

"Where are the men on watch?"
"I put them to sleep." Yut-Lung said as he put away the ointment. "I'm sorry about Shorter." He mumbled, bowing his head. "Who are you to feel sorry? Don't you dare ever say him name again!" I yelled, attempting to lunge at him despite my chain restraints. "Get out of my sight!"
"I didn't know you were vulnerable, too." Yut-Lung frowned. "You're unbelievably strong against attacks towards yourself, but you're really weak when it comes to you're loved ones. One day, it will get you killed. But still, you won't be able to abandon your friends." When his speech was finally finished, the black haired man produced a key, slipping it into the waistband of my trousers.

"Anyways, Golzine has gone out tonight with Arthur and the others. To witness a certain plan unfold." Yut-Lung muttered carefully, turning to the side. "A plan?" I asked curiously. "You'll see soon enough. Just wait for tomorrows news. So I've given you a chance. Even though you can't get revenge, at least you can try and save your loved ones." And with that, he turned to leave.

"You'll live to regret ever showing me mercy." I smirked after him. "I'm going to kill you some day."

"If that's how its destined to be, so be it. Good luck, Ash. The next time we meet will probably be when you kill me." Yut-Lung then disapeared from sight, closing the doors behind him. 

Leaving me to think over a plan of my own.
