Lavender [Completed] #Wattys2018 (Under Editing)

3: Enzo

We got stuck together in the closet, hearing how the new Boss's bullies continue to beat the suspect.

"Did you really think you could get away from us?" I could hear the thick voice of one of the thugs, "The Boss's lieutenant told us exactly what to do - to catch you and kill you, but instead of you being there we found your dear girlfriend... We had a lot of fun with her..."

Johnny shouted and tried to struggle but they continued to attack him from all directions - kicking his stomach, his head, punches all over him, and the gurgling sounds of broken bones coming out of his body whenever one of their fists or kicks hit him.

I couldn't see it from the side. I had to do something. But what?

"Nick, give me space, I can kill them-"

"Absolutely not, Lavender. There's ten people who looks like gorillas, how can you kill all of them?" I said, looking at her bright black eyes.

She smiled at me and said, "Watch me."

"Lavender-"

But she didn't listen, pushing me back and flinging open the door, approaching the thugs with a big smile on her face.

"Boys," she said in a flirtatious tone, "at least you could wait for me! You started the fun without me!" She complained.

All at once all the thugs stopped beating Johnny and looked at Lavender in amazement.

One of the thugs with black eyes and dirty blonde hair approached her, staring at her intently and saying in a booming voice, "Who the hell do you think you are?"

She replied with a big smile and said, "I think you know who I am, Enzo. I have to say that your acting skills has really improved."

He answered her with a sparkling smile of his own and when he spoke suddenly a French accent came out of his voice, "I learned from the best, ma lumière." Then he turned and started beating one of the thugs - the one who looked the strongest from them all.

Lavender joined him and kicked one of the thugs in the face, knocking him to the floor with a thud.

She turned to the man next to him, held his face tightly, and she took a swing and kicked two other guys. Then she tossed the gorilla guy with a force I didn't know existed in a small woman like her and knocked two more sturdy men to the floor.

Enzo continued to fight against two thugs at the same time with surprising skill, and knocked down the two big men who attacked him.

But they kept getting up. It wasn't a movie where they fell and didn't get up anymore, after all. At least not immediately.

She went on fighting with the blonde guy beside her. This caused jealousy to blow through my body, and to a sense of distress. What the hell am I supposed to do? Why can't I get involved and do something, damn it?

"I think it's time to stop playing around." Lavender said, not even sweating from her physical exertion, and gave such a strong punch to the nose of one of the thugs that it broke with a ghastly sound.

I looked to my right and left, trying to think of a plan of action. Suddenly one of the thugs caught me with his eyes and approached me with fast footsteps.

"Oh no, you don't, you gros cochon," Lavender said, kicking the guy who was trying to catch her in the balls, and ran to the guy who was trying to catch me and dropped him to the floor, sitting on his back and sending a knife from his neck.

"Lavender, stop!" I said, but it was too late-she stuck the knife in his skin and I could hear the nauseating sound of a tearing skin and the rapid bleeding of a damaged main artery.
