Queen

Killian

I was having a fight today at the underground ring which Niko owned. He said one of the fighters was boasting he could take me down and had challenged me.

Well, I love to break their daydreams, just like how I love to break their bones. And I did just that.

Once in the ring, I am like a starved, hungry beast. I play and play slowly to break their confidence and I enjoy when I see the fear in their eyes. And that's when I strike. Once the man was knocked out, or maybe even dead. I don't hope much for him.

Once I was done, I sat in the locker room with a warm towel on my head. I heard footsteps, but I didn't move because I knew they were my friends.

"Nice fight, Kill. You've surprised us once again. But the fight which was suppose to end in less than 5 minutes, took 20 minutes." Said Niko, who is also an underground fighter like me.

"I know." I whispered and sighed.

My eyes were closed and I was taking in the warmth. I felt a hand on my hand. Gareth, my twin. I winced and groaned.

"Fuck Kill, you're injured?" Gareth yelled and pulled over the towel.

"What's wrong with you? I am not dying. It's just a small injury. I am fine." I said but then Vaughn simply pressed a finger on my shoulder and I yelled.

"Arrghh, motherfucker, stop poking." I groaned and cursed.

"What happened?" Jeremy asked sitting next to me.

"Nothing Jer. Leave it." I avoided the question or at least I thought I did.

"Before I break you another shoulder, tell me what happened? No wait, rather who did it?" He asked and I took a deep breath.

"The Russo brothers. But thankfully, the twins saved me. And then dropped me here." I told them and they were silent for a moment.

"Landon and Brandon King? The King twins saved you, you are telling me?" Nikolai asked me and I nodded.

"Why did the Russo's get you?" Jeremy asked again and I looked at him. He wasn't playing around.

"Jer, you have to trust me on this when I say, I don't know. After breakfast I was on my way here. When I was stopped by a girl who had blood all over. I thought she was probably injured so I decided to help her to hospital. Who knew, she had faked it and it was color. Before I could say anything something hit my shoulder twice. I turned to see the Russo brothers smiling. I fell down to the ground in pain. My gun was in the car, or I would have shot them. Just when he was about to hit me again, a car stopped and three gunshots sounded. The girl dead and both brothers shot on their hands. I looked up to see the Kings who helped me in their car and other drove my car. They dropped me and my car here and left. That's it. It was a complete ambush and I was an idiot getting down to help which I have never done. But we don't hurt the innocent and women, so I had to. But I am still stupid to get down without the gun. I'm sorry guys." I explained them what happened and no one said anything for a while.

"Why did you have to fight then, Kill?" Niko asked again his voice really sounding concerned.

"Look, I am sorry. I didn't think it would break really." I was getting annoyed so I got up wore my clothes and walked to the door and stopped.

"Who's driving and taking me to the hospital? Come out fast. Or I'm going home to sleep." I said and went out and I swear I heard those bitches laugh.

I walked out of the underground and came up on the road and was walking towards our car when a girl bumped into me. She looked upto me with those honey brown eyes which had fear, pain and worry in them. Then I looked behind her and found some guys running behind her.

"Please... Please save me. Please." She begged but I didn't say a word. I was traumatized by the girl this morning already.

I looked over my shoulder at her, but she didn't dare look up at me. I looked at those men who had now stopped at a distance from me.

Where were my boys now? I was clearly outnumbered. I had my gun on me now. But I would still be outnumbered. I can't fight, not today with my already broken shoulder.

"Hey man, give her to us and you can live. As it is you're outnumbered. You can also have fun with her if that's what you want." The older guy said and I felt a pair of warm hands grip my cold hand.

The warmth was something I had 't felt in years. Who was this girl? How did she affect me so much? But I was brought back by her whimpers.

"Don't please. Don't give me to them. You can kill me instead. I'd die happily at your hands, but don't give me to them. Please, I beg you." And now she was almost crying and begging me and I still decided to keep quiet.

I wasn't mute, but I didn't know what to say.

"Look, I am not from here. I'm from Italy and as much as I remember, it was my 12th birthday and my mom sent me away with that bastard. And next thing I know I was in a cold basement. I have been there for so long, I can't even remember. What year is it now?" My eyes went wide when I heard that.

Her own mother sent her to the kidnappers? A 12 year old girl? Fuck!! How many years has she been with them before she managed to escape today? How did she even manage to escape? But my question was soon answered.

"I know it's unbelievable, but please, I promise I won't lie and I will do anything, besides anything sexual. I can be a maid and do the cleaning, or even cook food. I can fight even I have been trained by them to kill. But only after my leg is cured. They broke my leg because I tried to run. And when I jumped off the gate today I fell on it. It's too painful but I can't even cry. Please I am begging you, don't give me to them." She begged me again.

Was she being sexually abused? She was trained to fight? My eyes went down to her leg which was slightly crooked and she was standing holding my hand as a crutch.

I turned back to those men.

"No, she's not going with you. She's going back with me." I finally spoke and I felt her head rest on my back.

What was thing feeling? How did she trust me? Did she even know who I was? Well, probably not. Or else she would have been running away from me now.

"Thanks, my guardian angel." I heard her whisper before she blacked out.

I held her and just then, Jeremy, Niko, Gareth and Vaughn walked out.

"Guys, hurry." I yelled and then I tried to wake her up.

"Get the car, quick." I said and Jer nodded. I looked at Niko was close to me and he nodded before lifting her up in his arms.

"You! Stop right there! Where do you think you are taking her? Leave her and I can let you walk away alive." He threatened. I shook my head.

One thing about us Heathens is that you never threaten us. And he just did that. I got into the car. I know what will happen now.

I saw Niko and Jer step out and Gareth at the door of the car. I didn't see Vaughn. And then suddenly door opened and Vaughn sat besides me, like he didn't just kill people. Bloody assassin!! I saw Niko on call and then they got in the car.

Jer looked at me through the rear view mirror before starting the car.
