Katherine's Pov
I didn't want to hurt them, I wanted to kill them.
I could've stopped myself from slitting their throats, shooting them in the head and heart. But I couldn't, I wouldn't stop and I.. I like it.
They deserved to die, they might have not been there when Joey did what he did to me but they're working with him. Everyone that works with Joey knows at least a piece of his past, I'm something Joey wants- no, I'm someone he needs.
You'd think I would be afraid to pull the trigger but I wasn't, I won't ever be afraid to pull it. With a gun in my hand, I feel like I'm powerful, it's as if nothing can stop me.
There's a quote that I saw and it honestly got me thinking. I don't promote serial killers or any shit like that but what he said, it makes you think.
'We've all got the power in our hands to kill, but most people are afraid to use it. The ones who aren't afraid control life itself.'
Those words.
It spoke to me in that moment as I killed more than half the men. Ashton and his men came running in a few minutes after I was almost done.
I was covered in blood from head to toe, I must've looked like monster with all their blood covering my body. Instead of feeling ashamed and trying to wipe it off, I looked at them and smiled.
Their faces showed true fear, it was.. amazing. They underestimated me, thinking because I was a female I couldn't protect myself and I was weak. But I'm not, in fact I might be the strongest one standing amongst them all.
"Matthew, I'll be escorting Katherine to the car and we'll head home. Take care of this.. mess." He spoke as he walked towards me and gently grabbed my wrist
"Let's go Katherine and I want no arguments, we'll decide what's to come after you're clean." He casually slipped his hand into mine, interlocking our fingers and walked out the hideout.
Ashton looked straight forward not sparing me one glance, this hurt a lot more than it was suppose to. I dropped my eyes to the ground and silently followed him, I wasn't going to apologize about what happened because I didn't do anything wrong.
He was the one that didn't inform me about this, he thinks it's to keep me safe but it's only putting me in more danger. It seems as he doesn't understand the things I'm willing to do to take Joey down.
Maybe I should apologize for going a little bit.. crazy but I won't because it's his fault.
Just when I was about to speak up, he stopped walking and gripped tightly onto my hand, I hissed in pain and bumped into his back.
"What are you doing here?" He spoke, his voice was low and dangerous.
I looked up and tried to take a peek of who was standing in front of Ashton. By the tone of his voice he didn't like this person one bit, it's kind of intriguing yet scary because Ashton rarely shows emotions.
I tilted my head at the male that stood in front of us. He was pretty handsome if you asked me or anyone with eyes but next to Ashton he was average.
He had a sharp jawline, his hair was long it nearly touched his nose, his eyes were light blue like the sky, he had a dimple on his left cheek and his skin was a little pale but it added to his beauty.
"Oh my my my, what do we have here? Who is this pretty little lady?" He gave a small smirk as he looked at me, I raised my eyebrow and attempted to move next to him.
He tightened his grip, it was like I would disappear if he let me go. I looked into his eyes and tilted my head slightly, he just let out a breath and loosened his grip a little.
I repeat he loosened it a little, not a lot. My hand literally felt like it was going numb but it was okay I guess, something was clearly bothering him and I wasn't going to ask now.
"Yo old dude, why are you looking at me like that? You know people would consider you a pervert,"
"I- I'm not old, I am a reasonable age!" His cheeks turned a little red out of embarrassment I assumed, a small chucked escaped Ashtons lips.
"You've got quite the mouth, young lady. I'll have you know-"
"You've got quite the big head, old man. I'll have you know that I don't care what you want to say, so we're going home thanks." I smirked at him and started to walk away with Ashton behind me.
But someone grabbed my wrist, I turned around and looked at the man.
"How dare you disrespect me? Do you know who I am?" He spoke louder with each word, his nostrils slightly flaring and his calm demeanor has changed.
I got a little irritated by the fact that he was holding tightly onto my wrist, I'm sure it'll leave a bruise there. This unknown man was in the process of bruising my wrist and basically screaming at me while Ashton just stood there.
You're waiting for Ashton to rescue you?
It's stupid I know but- no, I'll help myself and protect myself like I usually do. Just because Ashton is suddenly in my life, it doesn't mean I'll come suddenly run to hik for protection.
He is not my body guard, he never was and never will be.
"Could you kindly let go of my wrist? It's going to bruise and I would like to go home," I responded tiredly, Ashton was now standing next to the man and I, he was watching us.
The man chuckled, "Now you want to he all nice and sweet? I don't think so sweetheart, it's gonna take a lot more than that for me to let go of you," Now he had a smirk on his face, I scowled at him.
"Alrighty, I guess I'm never too tired for another kill. Come at me." I took a fighting stance and he looked at me bewildered.
Was this not what he wanted?
Ashton started laughing and clapping his hands, we both looked at him.
"As entertaining as that would be, Katherine and I have to leave. We'll hopefully never see you again, goodbye." With that Ashton grabbed my wrist harshly and pulled me with him as we walked towards the car.
He opened the door for me and practically threw me in the car, I didn't complain though. This wasn't bad or anything, it didn't hurt and when the door hit my ankle, it stung but it wasn't that sore.
He got into the car and started speeding home, I was sitting there quietly gently rubbing my wrist. I looked down at my ankle and saw blue with dark red spots around it.
A small whine escaped my lips at the thought of how it's going to hurt when I get out. I turned my head towards Ashton and saw his jaw clenched, hands secured tightly around the steering wheel, his knuckles were white.
Instead of trying to figure out what was wrong with him, I simply closed my eyes and leaned my head against the window. I wanted to get some sleep before we get home, it's been a long day.
Without a single thought floating in my head, I slipped into the beautiful darkness and rested peacefully.
