Liz and her protectors

Chapter Three: The Scream

The door swings open so hard it smacks into the brick and makes a dent in the door. Cain barges out of the door with Ivan and David following behind closing the door and walking down the street.

"Fuck him." Cain cursed kicking a garbage can that was on the street.

"Dude chill, I know he's a dick but, you can't let him get to you" Ivan tried to reason with him.

"Whatever" Cain groaned, shoving his hand into his pocket and grabbing his pack of cigarettes, taking one out, putting it to his lips, and lighting it. All Cain wanted to do was get a drink and hit someone in the face, he hates Asher was all of his being. All that guy does is make his life a living hell.

"How about a drink? We can head towards my apartment."Davidchips in trying to make Cain less angry.

"Yeah, sure let's head that way" Cain agrees, without emotion.

"I could use a beer" Ivan adds.

"Dude you are 19. Not gonna happen" David shoots back.

"So what? In Russia its 16, although I started when I was 12" Ivan disclosed, looking like he's feeling proud of himself.

"I'm just playing man, I don't give a shit," said David.

"Sweet let's get fucked up!" Ivan shouts loudly, getting all excited and running a little farther ahead of the other two.

"Ivan. Shut the hell up and get back here" Cain starts, getting annoyed at his best friends just wanting to drink a beer and forget about the whole thing with Asher and his dickass friends.

Ivan starts jogging away, trying to egg David and Cain on in order for them to chase him. Maybe that'll get Cain's mind off the gym and Asher's. As he started to speed up, far enough away from Cain and David that they started to increase their slow walking to a fast-paced walk so they don't lose Ivan, he suddenly stops.

"Dude why'd you stop?"David asks as he and Cain meet up with Ivan.

"I thought I heard something," Ivan says trying to find the source of the noise he heard.

They stood still at the corner of the street silently listening to hear something, anything to confirm what Ivan had said. That's when they heard a scream, not just any scream but one that meant trouble. They knew whoever had screamed was hurt, and needed help. Following the sounds of her voice, they jogged to what looked like an alleyway.

All Cain could think about was hitting someone, he was excited to hit something, so much so he was shaking. Wanting to feel his fist smash into someone's face he was bouncy with adrenalin.

When the three were close enough to see that it was a group of guys hanging at the start of the alley, and one in the back who looked to be attacking someone, some poor girl. All Cain felt was Rage. He wanted to kill the guy who had the nerve to kick some poor girl who can't defend herself.

"Hey!" Roared Cain while leading his two friends to the group of guys. Cain was ready to knock heads he wanted to kill each and every one of them, although he'd settle with some serious injuries.

Cain runs forward adrenalin pumping, excited to have a justifiable reason to beat the ever-loving shit out of someone, or in this case two people. Cain gets lost in the thrill of the fight, taking out three of the guys not stopping until they hit the ground.

David was working his ass off just trying to take out on the guy, the shortest guy. Cain had to hand it to him though, he was definitely learning something when they trained earlier this week. 

Ivan went directly toward the girl, he wanted to get her the fuck out of there and he didn't care what it took to get her somewhere safe. The piece of shit that kicked her was Ivan's man to take down. Ivan saw red, he punched the guy until he went down, he would have kept going but he heard the sweet girl groaning in pain on the ground.

Kicking his last guy one last time, Cain walked over to where Ivan was trying to pick up the girl, who by this point was barely conscious by now. Who would be at this point after the blow to the head it's a miracle she was semi-conscious.

Ivan reached down to touch her and she jumped away, then instantly flinching and gasping in pain from the movement.

"Be careful Ivan" Cain spoke in a harsher tone than he meant, he just couldn't get over what could've happened to her if Ivan hadn't heard her scream.

"I know." Ivan calmly stated while gently putting his arm under her knees and her lower back. Slowly standing and holding bridal style. As they start exiting the alley and heading down the street.

Cain looked up just in time to see a girl lunge at him and force him against the wall with a knife to his throat. Cain took this time to check her out. And wow did he like what he saw. His eyes raked up and down her body, from her dark cherry red hair to her muscular form, to her curvy hips, and damn he thought as he saw her big ass thighs.

"Tell your friend to put her on the ground slowly" she barked at him. Feisty I like it he thought.

"Woah. Woah chill, we are not here to hurt anyone" he said trying to calm down the unstable sexy chick in front of him that he couldn't wait to get her into- he stopped his thoughts before they became too wild. He needed to focus on fixing the situation at hand.

He still felt responsible and protective of the girl they had just saved and he wouldn't just let her go without knowing she was really okay. Why was she out so late? Why was she all alone? How did she not know any self-defense? Who was this girl? Why do I feel so protective of her? He questioned himself.

Suddenly he felt more pressure against his neck and he knew that this girl wasn't messing around. Snapping himself out of his head, he decided to listen to what she wanted him to do.

"Okay. Okay. Ivan," He started looking at Ivan and nodding at him, "Put her down, carefully please." Cain said watching as she looked towards Ivan, distracting herself. Cain took the opportunity to reverse their positions.

This time Ivan didn't need the knife, throwing it to the ground, and with one hand while the other holds her to the wall. She needed to calm down. He thought to himself as he watched her struggle against his grip and she begged him to let her go. Eventually, he released her once he believed that he wouldn't fight her and could get the poor unconscious girl out of the middle of the city.

The four of them, and the unconscious girl made their way to David's apartment, which was huge, to say the least. Cain knew that it was the safest place to take the girls, and he wanted to spend more time with Red, or Elena as she told him was her name. Although Cain knew he probably would never call her by her real name.

Cain was giddy. Cain is never giddy or excited and honestly, he is never really happy, but after Cain and Elena almost kissed, Cain was happy. Sitting on the couch, knowing that David was staring at him, all Cain was doing was watching Elena walk away from him to go check on her friend. Well more like he was watching her ass.

When she was out of view he couldn't help the smirk that appeared on his face. He was getting lost in his head, that is until he heard a scream. One that he had heard before, he was up and into the room before he realized that it was Lizzy screaming.
