Her Russian

Chapter 37-Please Kill Me

Galina had lost all track of time and the days. Her body hurt, she was hungry and thirsty. They gave her just enough to keep her from dying. She'd also had several episodes with her heart and she had the sneaking suspicion that it was being done on purpose to make her weaker.

She had made herself a way to figure out how long each session was going. They were coming in, beating and hitting on her every hour but she still held her resolve, even through the pain.

One of their little mind games was they liked to wait until she was almost asleep and then they would come in and throw water on her.

Because of all the water, the cold floor and sitting in wet clothes, she felt her body shutting down, like she was getting sick.

As time went on, her body seemed like it was on fire one minute and the next minute, she was shivering and picked up quickly on the fact that she was running fever.

This plus her heart condition could spell disaster for her unless she got medical care immediately. Galina's head was pounding as well and she had started aching all over.

Her captors had at least lengthened the chains so she could lay on the floor now or lean up against the wall. Laying down on the floor, she closed her eyes and dreamed of the beautiful, tormented man that she loved.

"Suka! Wake up!" that familiar voice yelling at her and throwing more water on her but only this time, she didn't move. She couldn't, the sickness had her in it's hands and at this moment in time, she was willing to let it have her.

She was so tired and she hurt so much, she couldn't will her eyes to open. No matter how much they yelled at her and kicked her, she couldn't make them obey, so she just lay there shivering.

Hearing voices, they seemed so far away, but she had enough where with all to know they were inside the room with her.

"I said wake her up!" she heard Allister shouting at her partner in crime. "I've already tried. She's shaking and won't wake up. What do you suggest I do?" Igor's tone snarky.

Galina heard a slap and figured that Allister had slapped him for his tone. "Suka, you best remember I'm the man here, and you don't ever raise a hand to me again" he threatened.

Her teeth were now chattering against themselves and she was burning up, her skin felt like it was on fire but all of a sudden, she felt something warm on her. Had someone put a blanket on her? Closing her eyes, she was out of it again.

She jumped at the sound of the door being slammed and Allister was yelling like a crazed woman again. "Who in the hell gave her a blanket? This is not a damn hotel!" she yelled, furious at someone showing compassion to her daughter.

Galina knew immediately the blanket had been taken away as she started shaking from the draft that was coming in now from the open door.

"Get up!" she shouted. "You're being moved again." When Galina didn't move, Allister kicked her in the back, causing her to yell out weakly.

"Igor!" Grimov roared, he came running. "Pick up this worthless, sickly girl and put her in the car. We're changing locations again." Igor mumbled under his breath but did as Allister bid.

He was only bidding his time, once they had the money, he was going to put a bullet in between Allister's eyes. Fifty million splits better one way than two.

Igor didn't even bother picking Galina up, he half drug her while she tried to walk on unstable legs. She fell a couple of times, scraping her knees and hands and paid for it with a kick to the ribs by Igor.

"P-please" she begged to Igor. "What do you want?" he said angrily. "J-just kill me. I-I can't take this anymore" she cried softly. For one swift moment, she swore she saw pity and compassion in his eyes but then Allister showed up and he changed again.

"Oh no, suka, we aren't going to kill you" he teased. "We want you to suffer. We want you to feel like you're gonna die, it keeps you line." God if she'd had the strength, she would have kicked him straight in the dick and died a happy woman.

He tossed her haphazardly into the back of the SUV, waited on Allister to get her butt in and then they drove off to another set of warehouses and what Galina didn't know was, they were planning on killing her and going after Ilia. They knew he had the money.

Galina noticed on the floorboard, something glimmering in the moonlight. It was Igor's phone! With every bit of strength she could muster, she quickly hid it inside her bra.

Igor had the radio up so loud that neither he nor Allister heard her stirring around and so she was never found out. Sighing, she closed her eyes once again.

"Come on!" someone shouted at her, pulling on her foot and trying to drag her from the backseat. Before she could get her footing, she fell on all fours, on hard, uneven concrete that was littered with rocks, glass and other things that tore up the palms of her hands and her knees.

"Come on, you" another man said, dragging her roughly.  Galina did everything she could to stay on her feet but was just too weak and lost her footing again and nothing but harsh concrete to break her fall.

"Ah!" she cried weakly as the lose stones cut through the flesh of palms and legs.  The metallic smell let her know that she was bleeding.

Once they reached another warehouse, Galina was thrown into a breadbox of a room and chained up once again.

She was cognitive enough to realize her chest was hurting and tried calling out for help, but no one came.  Galina did her best with trying to control her breathing.

Finally she heard someone coming.  It was Igor.  "P-please Igor.  I need a pill for my heart" she was desperate for kindness.

Looking around, like he was making sure no one was there, he dug in his pocket quickly, retrieved a pill and walked out.

Galina said thanks over and over before putting the pill under her tongue.  After a while the medicine kicked in and she was able to lay down.

Starting to shiver again, Galina closed her eyes and tried to remember what Ilia sounded like, felt like and looked like.  Smiling slightly, she drifted off.
