We Go Down Together [ ENGLISH VERSION ]

21. Savage

Kit opens her eyes, and for a minute, she thinks she is blind, she can't see absolutely nothing.

She wriggles and grunts as she realizes her hands are tied, she's lying on a hard floor, and somewhere underground, by the way the air is cold and damp.

A light lights on, blinding Kit, she squeezes her eyes shut, cringing.

When she opens her eyes again, she sees the man from the supermarket standing in front of her, arms crossed, the light he has turned on doesn't illuminate much, but Kit can see a chair in the middle of the room, and when she looks around quickly, she identifies the room as some kind of cell.

- Who are you? - she asks, -What do you want from me?

The man lets out a grunt, but doesn't say anything, he just looks at her from head to toe and smiles.

Kit starts to get up on her knees.

- You can stay still there, sweetie- the man says.

As Kit raises her head, her heart sinks in her chest when she sees that he has a gun pointed at her.

Holy shit.

Kit sits back down, cringing, her mind going through all the alternatives that could happen, and making her sway with the most obvious and most likely.

Kit has some use for that man, one way or another, he wouldn't have kidnapped her for nothing.

And the big chance is that his interests were sexual, or violent.

Kit begins to sweat, her heart beating fast in her chest, but she stands her ground, refusing to show her fear.

She hears the sound of footsteps, then a door opens on the side of the cell, and the second man enters, he smiles at the sight of Kit.

- ah so the princess is awake - he says, coming closer, he kneels in front of her, without any caution, which says two things, either he is very stupid, or he really thinks Kit is harmless. - Oh, you're much prettier than the boss said - He slides his fingers across Kit's face, she pulls away violently, making him laugh - And sour, I like you

- Go to hell - She growls.

The man laughs and exchanges glances with the other man standing, when he looks back at Kit, he grabs her by the hair, exposing her throat.

- Maybe I can play with you for a little while before the boss comes- he says, bringing his face closer to Kit's. -Then I can teach you how to be obedient and gentle, huh?

He leans in towards Kit's throat, she takes the cue and attacks, biting down hard on his ear, he screams and pushes her, trying to get free, but Kit bites harder, and when he falls back, she falls on top of him.

The other man grabs her and pulls her hard, and at that moment two things happen.

The taste of blood fills Kit's mouth, running down her lips and chin, an extreme amount of blood, and at the same time, flesh rips and splits, making someone scream.

When Kit is released, she falls to the floor, hitting her cheekbone hard, she hears the first man bawl and scream in pain, she raises her eyes there is a pool of blood on the floor and oozing through the fingers of the hands he uses to cover the part of his ear that is left.

Kit stands up, spitting the other half of his ear onto the floor, she cracks a victorious smile as both men look at her in terror.

The door opens once more and two more men enter, both ready to attack.

- Beat the bitch! - The man holding his own ear shouts

Nobody move.

- I told you to punish her! - He shouts, rising to his feet

- Now - A voice says from beyond the door, a fifth man enters the room, but unlike the others there, he has an elegance about him, his clothes are haute couture, his hair is long and dark and his skin is clear as paper, he is tall and graceful, and when he takes off his sunglasses, Kit is met with golden and sinister, almost animalistic eyes - What kind of impression would you give our guest with this, Alec?

The smile he flashes is as sinister as his eyes, Kit takes a step back, intimidated, and this does not go unnoticed by the man, who looks directly at her.

- Look what you've done- he says, -Now Kit feels trapped.

- She ripped off my ear, boss! - Alec exclaims, blood still oozing from him.

The golden-eyed man cracks a smile.

- Which is extremely impressive - He says, complimenting her, Kit frowns, she can still feel the blood on her face.

With a nod, the two men who entered move towards the other two, meanwhile he approaches Kit, and she steps back, feeling terrified.

He stops and shows her his hands, the only thing there are his glasses.

- I'm not going to hurt you, Kit- he says, -I want you to come with me, I'm going to take you somewhere nicer and less... - He looks around - Less like this.

- Why? - Kit asks.

He tilts his head.

- Because you're my guest- he says, -And this cell isn't very comfortable.

- Your guest? - She laughs, even though she is tied up and at a disadvantage, Kit doesn't bite her tongue - I don't know if you know, but kidnapping is not the most polite choice of invitation.

He sighs.

- Well- he says, -it was just a mean to an end.

- The end I will give you myself- she growls.

He cracks a smile, as if he finds what she is saying adorable.

- Come with me Kit- he says, -Trust me when I say that you won't want to stay and witness what happens here.

- What? - Alec inquires, he and the other man panic as the other two approach and grab them - No boss! Please, boss, don't do this!

The golden-eyed man takes Kit by the arm and leads her outside, where two women are waiting for them, they follow them down the corridor, and screams and shouts are all they leave behind in that cell, sounds so guttural and painful that Kit has no doubt what is happening inside.

They're killing those men.

- By the way- the man next to Kit says, -let me introduce Valeria and Uma- he indicates the two women, -they will keep you under control while you are here.

Kit looks at the women, still a bit paralysed by the screams echoing throught the corridor, both have serious expressions, and both are slender and graceful like the man beside Kit.

- Who are you? - Kit asks - And what the hell do you want from me?

The man flashes a friendly smile, which contrasts with the words he says next:

- Forgive me for my bad manners, my name is Agnar - He touches Kit's shoulder - And you are my bargaining chip.

Kit frowns and stops in the middle of the corridor, there's not even a window or door in there, just the concrete corridor stretching for a long way.

- A bargaining chip for whom?- she asks, -What value do I have?

Agnar approaches her and says:

- To her, dear, you are worth everything.

The screams stop abruptly, making Kit's skin shiver, she feels the fear in her bones.

- She who?

Agnar laughs, revealing strangely long fangs.

- To your girlfriend, who else would it be? Jade Claymore
