Blood Lilly

Chapter 16

"Oi Lilly you know you got your medical checkup tomorrow," Mike called out before he left.

"Yeah, I know, I'll be there. It's at lunch time right?"

"Lunch, yep. You want me to drive you?" I shook my head, earning myself a frown. "You sure? I don't mind and even if I was busy, one of the boys would take you."

"Ok Mike, if it means that much to you." He gave a little chuckle as my reply.

"Good girl, now I don't have to dock you if you're late." He glanced over at Pa and the new guy. 

"Try not to hurt her until after tomorrow."

"We never hurt little girls, besides in a few more months she'll be able to kick your puny ass."

Mike gave a laugh and a wave as he left, leaving us to it. He figured if he didn't see it then it wasn't happening, not that I would sue them anyway. However we lived in a world of litigation and lawsuits, people willing to make a buck no matter what the cost was to another person. Pa, well he didn't care as much. If you put in hundred and ten percent effort then you were accepted however if you even thought of taking the easy way out Pa would kick your ass as soon as he looked at you. I thought that was why he liked me; no matter how hard he pushed me, I always gave it my best shot.

"Come on little girl, we don't have all night to wait for you," Pa called out, waiting at the mats. The new guy was still there, waiting. There was a look of hunger in his eyes. I had seen the guy spar; he was lethal and technical in his moves, making him well above my level.

"This is Viktor, he will be showing you a thing or two tonight." Pa paused for a minute. "I need to do some stuff but Lilly, you'll be in good hands." Pa added before heading out the door leaving me and the new guy alone in the gym. The guy smiled, I trusted Pa but this situation left me feeling uncomfortable.

"I want you to come and I will block you," he said slowly so that I could understand him. His accent was very thick and I wasn't sure how long he had been speaking English.

"You want me to spar with you?" I asked, not liking that idea very much.


"No, you try to hurt me and I block you. Understand?"
I nodded taking my position.

 "Sounds like sparring to me douche bag," I mumbled under my breath.


"Ok now, I want you to hit me."


"Ok," I replied maybe a little too hastily. Viktor flashed his smile, one which sent a chill down my spine. I looked around for Pa but he was nowhere to be seen.

I flicked the switch and got into a fighting stance, my guard up and ready. I threw a nice one- two combo, frowning as he ducked easily avoiding my fists. Viktor was quick, coming around behind me while giving me a nice little kick for my efforts. I tried again, only to fail over and over. He was laughing and I was getting tired.

"You're not so dangerous little girl," he said, his eyes wild with adrenalin. His elbow came up, hitting me in the jaw. I could taste the warm salty blood as it poured into my mouth.

 "Sorry," he said, not sounding one bit sorry at all.

"What's your problem?" I cussed, spitting into a towel.


"You are, my little demon queen."


"What?"


"Oh yes, I know who you are..." Viktor hissed as I took this opportunity to land a kick to the kidney. I wasn't sure why he was calling me demon queen though I knew it couldn't be good. He was faster than a human not to mention he was stronger too. 'Oh shit' I cussed under my breath, he was a cursed one...Suddenly this fight just got a whole lot more serious.
