Heir to the Throne

Chapter 27 "Bloodbath"

Darkness is all that surrounds me as I lay on this concrete floor. Dry blood fresh blood it's all the same. My body feels foreign to me. I'm here, but at the same time I'm elsewhere. My mind and body are nowhere aligned. As I lay on the floor all I feel is numbness. I don't even know what day it is anymore or how long it has been. I just know that I want just one torture to take me out. However, Romanov won't allow such a thing so soon. He enjoys what he does to me always has. He enjoys even more what Graudyn does to me.

With whatever strength I have I lift my hand up seeing how incredibly shaky I am. The dry blood stains along with fresh blood covers my entire arm. Putting my hand down, a tear slides down my cheek. Closing my eyes wanting to let the tiredness of my body take me away from this reality. I'm awoken from sudden noises of what sound like gunfire.

We watch as Dimitry knocks on the door of the premises of where all these Russians should residing in. Dimitry gave us a time frame of when Romanov likes to leave the state, so we didn't hesitate to move in. Kira stands by him playing his prisoner. Little do they know it's the other way around. The door opens exposing a man with blonde spiked hair. At first he's taken back at the sight of Dimitry, which I don't blame him for as we did quite a job on him. After a few seconds of them conversing they're both inside.

Now we wait for a few hours till darkness hits. That's when Dimitry and Kira shall open the back doors for us to enter. From there it's purge night for us. My mind starts to wonder to where it shouldn't, so I just snap out of it making sure to focus on this mission. Any wrong move can cost us dearly. I look towards my father that isn't far from me. He's too busy texting my mother. It has always been so funny to me to see him balance such worlds. Now knowing his background it's crazy to me how the universe brought these two onto each other's paths. Totally freaking opposites and from different worlds, yet here they are. I watch a smile form on my father's face until he realizes I'm looking at him. Immediately his smile disappears as he motions for me to focus.

Hearing the hidden mics we placed on Kira and Dimitry turn on. I lay back hearing every sound, word, and breathe that goes through them. There's one voice I'm waiting to hear, yet I never do.

The door bursts open, a hurried Romanov walks towards me and picks me up bringing me up to my feet. I wince in tremendous pain leaning my weight onto him. What I see next has me completely stunned. Dimitry enters the room our eyes locking with one another. Being in pain I don't even bother reacting, but his reaction is enough to confirm how bad I must look from the beatings.

"We must leave," Dimitry hastily murmurs as he looks away from me. Romanov obeys as he starts making his way helping me walk. However, I don't have enough energy within me, which causes my legs to collapse. This forces Romanov to hold me up bridal style as all three of us exit the torture room. My vision is in and out as I feel motion. I'm too weak to stay awake, but I force myself to. My curiosity is wondering all over the place as to what's going on. What are we running away from? Why in the heck is Dimitry even here? Am I hallucinating? I'm so lost in the moment.

Gunfire is all over the places, which makes my head hurt more than it already does. I want to suddenly vomit, but I don't. Am I within the last minutes of life? I feel horrible.

"Amoret," I hear a voice that I recognize anywhere. This immediately gave me the strength to open my eyes and look over Romanov's shoulder seeing none other than Kira in the flesh. I'm praying to the lord this isn't no hallucination. However, before I can say anything we exit out of the building.

"Doors are open," Dimitry says through the mic notifying us.

My father, Rios, and I start heading towards the back first as the rest of the men follow behind us. My father is ready as can be. With such a long problematic history between the Castillos and the Romanovs. I know my father is ready put an end to this rivalry that started with greed and betrayal that got my great grandfather killed when his back was turned.

Stepping into the back doors being greeted by Dimitry. We grab onto our guns ready to get this party started. As all of the men enter they immediately follow their orders and positions we planned before. Let the bloodbath begin. Before I do what I do best, I decide to pull Dimitry to the side having one last request for the night.

Lifeless bodies all over the ground as we pass through the parking lot. Romanov sets me down as my feet hit the concrete floor. Seeing my surroundings, I recognize the place and decide to make a run for it. However, I'm too slow and Romanov grasps onto my hair bringing me face to face with him.

"Where do you think you're going whore?," he grumbles as he slaps me causing me to fall down. My face stings as it's already cut, bruised, and swollen from his and Graudyn's hands.

And just as I fall I hear a gunfire fire causing my father to fall onto the ground. I watch as Romanov winces in pain grabbing onto his right knee. I look around the area of where this possible gunfire could of came from until I spot two dark shadows within the shades of midnight. As this dark figures step forward letting the parking lot light shine upon them. I see who I never thought I would ever see again. Mr. Castillo glares at Romanov with such hatred as underboss looks at me with the most shocked expression I've ever seen on him. My heart starts to beat fast wanting to jump into his arms for safety.

"How dare you betray me you son of a bitch," Romanov seethes through his teeth glaring at Dimitry who stands helplessly. I've never seen Dimitry this way before. It's as if he's a broken down slave.

"Amoret," Kira shouts as she exits the building running towards me. Her arms wrap around me protectively and tenderly.

I start to breathe heavily realizing this is real and that they have come to save me. I have been rescued for the first time of my life. Feeling a tremendous pressure within my throat I didn't realize I was holding back. I start to want to let out the biggest cry. However, from the pressure that consumes my head and throat I start to see black dots within my vision. These dots start to multiply in such a speed that I find myself losing complete consciousness.

The last thing I see before blackness takes over is father and son of the Castillo mafia both fire straight into Romanov's head as both bullets end officially the Romanov mafia.
