Sealed with a Kiss

Chapter 19

Eve looked tiredly lifted her head and winced as she felt the swelling on her cheek stretch her skin. She was pretty sure if it swelled anymore than it will tear her skin open. She was pretty sure every cell in her body screamed in agony but she also knew that she had endured worse than this. She just had to think.

She took a shaky breath and forced herself not to whimper as she slowly let it out. Think Eve, what was it that Knuckles and Ninja told you?

Keep a clear head and there is always a way to escape.

That's right, she tried to rotate her wrists and realized that her hands were wet. She shifted and felt a knot. Running her fingers along the rope she figured out what kind it was. Now she was glad that she saw Coffee messing with that blue green rope that one day. He spent a few hours showing her different knots and how to undo them. At the time he never would explain how he knew so much about knots since he didn't seem to be fascinated with the ocean like Shark but she just figured it was a boy scout thing. Anyway she was glad she spent that time learning because now it was useful.

Just as she managed to get her hands free, the door swung open and she froze seeing that it was the two men that kidnapped her.

"Look at you," the one she could tell was the president smirked as he strode over to her. He gripped her jaw and chuckled, "you are finally starting to look pretty. You just needed some color on you." She spat blood on his face and he backhanded her. "You bitch!"

"Don't touch me," she said through clenched teeth. As much as she wanted to lunge at them Ninja's words kept blaring in her head.

Wait for the right opportunity, think things through and wait.

She watched and waited. His phone rang and he sighed in annoyance as he answered it. "What? WHAT? You better be lying! Fine," He groaned as he hung up his phone then turned to glare at her. "You stupid bitch!" He punched her in the jaw and she groaned as the chair flipped back.

She felt metal pressing against her flesh as he fell on top of her, his hands going around her throat. "S...s...stop," she gasped.

"They fucking killed my men!" He screamed as she tried to inhale some air. "They killed all my men because of you! You will pay for this!"

She tried to gasp as her lungs started to burn. The sudden coldness on her skin shocked her and she dropped her hands, feigning passing out. She felt him press a little tighter.

"What are we going to do with the body?" The vice president asked as she heard his back hit the wall, letting her know that he was watching on the opposite side of the wall.

"Set it up all nice and pretty for when they find it," the president chuckled. "Maybe we will have some fun with her body before they show up."

Eve barely moved her fingers and felt the metal, internally smirking when she realized just what it was. Wrapping her fingers around the handle she slid it out and alongside her body. Barely moving her wrist, she moved until she had a better grip on it.

Just as his rank breath covered her face, she thrust her hand up and his gasp made her smirk. Just as he started to roll over, she released the knife in his gut and grabbed his gun that was in the holster. She pulled the trigger twice before she was able to push him off of her.

"You fucking bitch!" The vice president said pulling his gun out and aiming it at her. She raised the gun at him and fired until it just kept clicking. He slid to the ground and started crawling towards her. She gasped and grabbed the knife out of the president and stabbed it in the vice president's shoulder. He screamed and tackled her. She yanked out and stabbed it in the back of his neck. A gasp left his mouth, and he dropped his gun. She shoved him off her, grabbed the gun and stood. She pointed it at him and fired then again once more.

The door swung open and she turned aiming the gun at the entrance and fired. "Fuck Kitten!" Raven shouted as everyone moved out of the way. "KITTEN, IT'S US!"

She gasped and North nodded to them once he heard the gun clatter onto the ground. Raven rushed in and swept her into his arms. The moment she inhaled his scent of gun powder she wrapped her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. "Gunner," she whispered trying to calm her raging emotions.

"Kitten," He growled as he tightened his hold on her. "It's okay, all okay."

"No it's not!" She glared as she pulled back to look at him. He was shocked that instead of fear her face was full of rage. "They said bad things about you and ruined my shirt and—"

"Damn Cupcake, you got them good," Luke chuckled as he looked down at the two men covered in gun shots and knife wounds.

"Well, they broke my ring!"
