TWISTED SHADOWS

An attack

"Are you deaf?" They came closer to both of them, pointing the guns at their heads.
"I said get down!" One of the men smacked Kella with the gun and she went down, but not unconscious.
Kella stared on the floor, anger laced in her eyes. 'How the hell did they get in here?' Kyle used the distraction to grabbed the gun from the second one, amd before the third one could react , Kyle hit him with the gun and smacked down the other. The third one pointed his gun at Kyle and Kyle shot the gun out of his hand. Renata stared at her twin in amazement. This was a side of him she'd never seen. She seized opportunity and called the police immediately while crossing her heart in fear. Christina stared on at her, signalling her to keep it low. Angela looked between everyone and stopped at Kella, smiling. The guy who smacked Kella bent down to her and smiled.

"Stubborn, pretty and young." He had an evil smirk on his face and before he could broaden his smirk, Kella hit him in the jaw and grabbed his gun just as the second one grabbed the gun of the third one. She pointed it at him, standing up, too fast for him to react and he pointed his back at her. As the first guy approached her from the back, she smacked him in the nose with a back fist and fired the gun off target scaring the armed man. Kyle hit the last guy in his dick making drop half conscious while he pointed the gun at the same guy Kella pointed hers to. He dropped his gun in fear and Kyle smacked him with his gun making him pass out. He stared at Kella interrogatively and looked over at his family, who were still under their table, staring at him with flights over their faces.

He pointed the gun at the one with the broken nose who was the most conscious of the three.

"Talk" Was all that came out of Kyle, cold and merciless.

"Calm down Kyle, you can't get anything out of him. The police are on their way." Just as she hit him making him pass out, everyone came out from their hiding place and took relieved breathes while Angela groaned internally at Kella's supposed display of heroism.

Just then the cops arrived and realized the situation had been handled by Kyle and Kella. She smiled at the cops as they took the men away in cuffs and thoughts of how to escape Kyle before he pounced on her crossed her mind.

Kella took a step to walk away and Kyle pulled her back by the arm so abruptly, too close for comfort they almost kissed. Kella stared at him resisting the urge to put her hand in between them and push him away.
"What?" She whispered so ferociously and Kyle looked between her eyes trying to detect some manner of fear.

"What just happened?" He whispered back with the same intensity. Angela cursed herslef internally as she watched them so close, wanting to rip both of them off. Kella struggled with Kyle's grip trying to break free from his grip.

"Let go of me"

"I want an answer."

"Let go Kyle, you're hurting me." It almost sounded like a whimper.

"Answer me!!" He demanded. This time, everyone heard the authority in his voice. Christina watched closely.

"I learnt martial arts growing up. My, my parents made sure their kids could always defend themselves."

"Why?"

"Why?" She stared at him fiercely thoughts of ripping him in two filling her mind but took a deep breathe instead. "I don't know Kyle. It, it...was their way of protecting us. Why does it matter? You're hurting me."
