Ace of Spades (Mc No limits Book 2)

Chapter 22

Nora

"Put the mattress in the middle and the camera in front of it," Ted called to the two men, who obeyed as he put the whip down in front of me . They took me off the hook and I flailed wildly with my legs.
"Where the hell is the doctor!" Ted shouted angrily, punching me in the face as he freed my Hands.
I fell to the ground, my ears ringing from the impact as I tried to get up.
"He went with Corazon. The helicopter just took off." said one of the men.
"Fucking shit," Ted shouted desperately and grabbed my hair to throw me onto the mattress.
"We can hold her for you," said the other and Ted nodded like a madman.
"Hold her...Hold her tight," he said.
I screamed for help and one of the two hit me in the face again which hurt me and made me feel dizzy.
"I need this...I need her now. Immediately! When I'm done I'll call Ethan and tell him about her friends so he can take care of them." Ted said, laughing as he placed his weapon on the metal table on which the camera lay next to the whip.
"You didn't tell anyone where they were? You did not tell them about this Tom guy either then. You are fucking crazy!" one of them shouted angrily.
"You should have told David he could have taken care of them, you idiot! Why did you forbit us to tell anyone?!" shouted the man with the bleeding nose.
"I need protection. So I have important information that Ethan can use. If I had said everything or you then David would have shot me long ago," Ted hissed as he took off his last clothes and stood naked in front of me.
He tried to turn the camera on and out of nervousness he knocked it over and had to set everything up again.
"Hurry up, she's defending herself," shouted the man into whom Ivy had rammed the knife in the stomach.
Ted's hands wouldn't obey and he never seemed to work very well under stress. When I saw him turn on the camera he turned to me and rubbed his artificial erection.
"Spread your legs" he shouted as one of the men tried to pull off my underwear.
I freed my legs from his grip and kicked him in the face, causing him to fall to the ground in pain and scream. "Fucking bitches" he shouted as he held his nose that was bleeding again.
"Hold her damn it Steve" Ted shouted as I freed myself from his grip by biting his arm.
Ivy tried to shout something from the background and I heard her mumble as she tried through the cloth around her mouth. I squeezed so hard that he cried out loudly and released me when the pain was too great.
" What the hell!" he cried out loudly as he looked at his arm. Ted came towards me, his eyes crazy with anger and his nostrils flaring as he breathed. I pulled my panties up  and pushed myself to the wall breathing hard.

Just as he was about to grab the whip we heard a loud crash, an explosion and people screaming.
"What the fuck is going on?!" Ted shouted as he looked at the door where Steve and the bleeding man were running.
I heard guns firing and stomping going down the stairs. My eyes found Ivy's as she looked at me crying, distraught over everything Ted was planning to do with me right in front of her.
She looked at the door and I heard her mumble something, Ivy's sobs mixed with  emotions,her eyes relieved and I followed her gaze to the open door.
The body of a man dressed in dark clothing stood in the doorway. His face was unrecognizable because of the balaclava on it, but when his eyes fell on mine, I sobbed with relief.
The blue eyes that I loved to look into and that looked at me lovingly were now staring at me.
"Ace!" I screamed in relief and stood up, but fell to my knees in front of him as he caught me while he ran towards me. He knelt in front of me and held me, his heart beating so fast I could hear it as he hugged me. His familiar scent of cinnamon, tobacco and leather reached my nose and I took a deep breath as if it was about to disappear and I wanted to remember it.
A shot rang out and I jumped, screaming.
My eyes fell on the man behind Ace, whose eyes I recognized as...Duke. The smoke from his gun rose into the air in front of his face and I turned to Ted, who was petrified, his hands raised  as he obviously reached for his gun and duke warned him with a shot that narrowly missed his head.
“Don’t make me shoot you in the dick, you psycho,” Duke shouted angrily.
I heard Ivy whimper even louder as the third man came through the door, took her off the hook and held her in his arms. That's King I'm sure.
Ace took off his balaclava and I saw the tears streaming down his beautiful face as he kissed me. He placed kisses on every spot he could hit and looked at me while holding my face in his palms.
“You came...you promised...You got me” I screamed crying and he furrowed his eyebrows.
“I would die for you,” I heard him say before he pressed his lips to mine and we kissed with a mixture of crying and relief.
"Don't touch her!" I heard Ted scream and Ace broke our kiss to stare at Ted over my shoulder.
"Are they dead?" I heard Ivy ask as King removed the cloth over her mouth. “Those two motherfuckers who ran out here,” she added.
"They're dead!" Duke said as she looked over King's shoulder at me.

I followed Ivy's gaze again and saw the huge, sword-like knife on Ace's belt. Everything I did was as if in slow motion. My thoughts revolved around everything that was happening and I reached for the knife.
The voices around me merged into one and became indistinct. As if I were underwater, I only heard throbbing in my ears, everything around me stopped for a second and I didn't think anymore.
The fear I felt disappeared, inspired by the man who hugged me. I am no longer alone...I have friends and family now. I don't want to be a victim anymore, for me...for him...for all of us. I want to be a fighter and not just a survivor.
I took the knife in my hand and stood up, which confused Ace and he tried to grab my hand but to no avail. I took a few fast steps towards Ted and his eyes locked on me as I swung with all my might screaming all my rage outloud and he opened his mouth  in shock.
All the anger that had built up inside me, all the fear he instilled in me, and all the terrible images in my head came together in that moment. He wanted to scream at me to make me scared again to make me miserabel like i was all this time because of him.
The scream never came...
Ted's head fell from his shoulders and rolled to the ground like a bowling ball. His big eyes stared at me as his lifeless body fell to the ground in front of me, his blood flowing before me.
"Fucking hell!" I heard Duke shouting behind me as I screamed at the top of my lungs at Ted's dead body. Ace grabbed me and turned me towards him, his eyes searching my face and he looked at me with concern. I breathed in and out heavily and looked at him, grinning like a madman, as Ivy started laughing. Ace's worried face turned into a small smile and he pulled me towards him as I hugged him and dropped the giant knife.
"How are we supposed to find out who he told about us when Ted Bundy beheaded him here!" Duke shouted angrily.
“Nobody knows about us. He said it. He kept the information about us secret because it was his way of getting out," Ivy said.
"Are you fucking sure?" Duke asked her.
"I would never put us in danger. I'm fucking sure trashboy" she replied and King pulled her closer to him.
"We have to get out of here now! Fucking shit what the fuck" I heard Storm say as he rushed into the room and saw Ted headless on the floor.
Ace took me in his arms and King did the same with Ivy as they started running. Duke ran to grab the knife I dropped and followed us with Storm. I didn't know who all these people were who were cheering when we came out of the basement, but obviously they were with us and not against us.
"Look at me!" said Ace "Just look into my eyes and nowhere else" he added.
And I did it without asking why. I didn't take my eyes off his as he ran  and he kissed my forehead as he put me in the car next to Ivy.She pulled me towards her and hugged me while I was shaking.
"Drive quickly, the police are coming, we'll blow the shit up," a man shouted to King and Ace as they got into the car to drive off.
The car moved with speed  and I could only take a quick look at the building that blew up in front of my eyes as we drove away.
"You got me," I said to Ace, who turned from the passenger seat to look at me as Ivy held me, crying.
"I got you...I promised," he said to me and King looked at him.
“She cut off his damn head!” He said with a laugh and Ivy howled like a coyote, which made King howl too.
King stepped on the pedal and stormed after the other cars as they fled the area. Everything looked like a scene from an action movie and my heart was beating wildly. They came...he kept his promise, I thought before the darkness took hold of me and I collapsed in Ivy's arms.
