The next morning, Alina felt breath upon her cheek, she wrinkled her nose at Alexis bad breath,
"Your breath stinks." She whispered. As soon as she said that something cold touched her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw a looming figure above her. She screamed and scrambled away only to be caught by another outline. She was brought into the living room. A glance out the window told her it was still dark out, maybe it wasn't even morning yet. Then her eyes went to the middle of the living room where Danka and Alexie were sitting in chairs, tied to them. Alexi had been beaten several times and it showed on his face, Danka had not been touched thankfully but she smiled weakly at her. Alina was shoved to the floor as a chuckle erupted in the shadows
"Ah Alexei, found just like your father predicted. Sleeping with the enemy."
"She is not the enemy Boris." He said as a fat man came out of the shadows. He had copper colored hair and light green eyes. He wore a suit of black and had a gun with a round piece on the end of it.
"Is she not? She is the daughter of our rival gang. A gang that still stands and grows stronger everyday.""Only because Arseny is weak, who is weak will also have weak leadership." Boris walked quickly to Alexie
"He is not weak Alexie, think about how he found you. Think about how he found her fake parents." Boris said pointing at Alina.
"My what! Are you serious!?"
"He's lying Alina, there's no way he could have gotten to them."
"Am I boy? See for yourself girly." Boris reached into his jacket pocket and threw a phone at her. It slid across the ground landing directly in her face. She glanced at the photo of her beloved fake parents.
"Nooo!" Alina shouted as she was hoisted up by the arm.
"You fucking rat!! Those people were good and kind! Alexie shouted, his face turning red with rage.
"Do not shout at me boy!" Boris said as he slapped him across the cheek.
"I can shout at you all I want Boris, you can't touch me."
"Oh yeah? Why's that?" Alexei squinted his eyes
"Don't you remember the threat my father told you? The one about harming your family if you ever laid a finger on me. And look, you already have, I've been beaten and bound, this will not go well for you." Borris chuckled as he took a taser from his belt.
"Funny thing is Alexie, I've done away with my family so they can never be harmed. That way it leaves me free to hurt you." Alina was so disgusted by the thought
"You hurt your own family?" Alina asked in shock.
"Oh my dear lady, I didn't hurt them, I killed them."
"What is wrong with you!" She screamed. Boris chuckled
"She is feisty, her father will be proud, that is if she ever gets to see him."
"My father! What do you mean!?""Your real father of course Alina. Ivan Petrov." Alina began to cry
"Ah stop your crying girl." The man that held her said as he punched her in the gut. She doubled over and fell over"Don't touch her like that! You may be able to touch me, but you have no permission to touch her."
"Oh being all tough aren't you, well then see how you like this." Boris hit the button on the taser, it crackled to life, Boris went to Alexie and hit him in the stomach. He did it over and over, and Alexi took it like a man, like Igor would have done, Alina thought. Then man after man came and punched and kicked him. His chair fell over but they continued, Danka stayed silent but tears poured down her face pleading with Alina to try and do something. But Alina didn't know what to do, she didn't know how to fight, she didn't even have a gun. Finally she had an idea as the laughter of the men grew louder and louder and Alexie's blood poured out over the floors into the cracks of the wood"Stop hurting him!" She screamed, her body shaking with rage.
"My my what is this?" A voice hissed in her ear. "Are you in love with a spy?" Alina's heart pounded, her chest rose and fell hard as she glanced at the tall men, her sister and Alexie. She wasn't afraid of these men, so she spoke the truth,
"Yes, Yes I am in love." Howls filled the room as she was once again shoved to the floor and landed at Alexi's feet.
"And you Spy, are you in love with this girl?" Alexie looked at her smiled"Yes. Yes I am." More howls filled the room. As she lay there looking up at Alexie who was first a traitor and now her lover it occurred to her that it was His enemies that she was fighting. It wasn't hers. It was His. Because they were trying to kill her, and she was the person he loved.
"Well then who dies first?" Boris asked, cocking his gun with a sneer upon his lips.
