Faithful to His Queen

Chapter Sixteen

I screamed as I was pushed down by one of the guards.

Four of my six guards were shot down already and the other two were shielding me. There were seven men walking towards us with guns.

"Alesso" I whimpered as my two guards began to back up.

"Camilla, when I tell you to run, you run. We'll try to hold them off but you need to hide. There are 10 more bodyguards following us and they will find you." Thomas whispered to me. Thomas was the head bodyguard and the one Alesso left in charge.

"Don't bother try to escape. Your other friends have already been taken care of. We will catch you if you try to run" one of the men yelled. They already killed the other guards so there was no where I was getting out.

"Camilla, you know the protocol. Use it. On my mark"

"3" he started counting

My heart was beating out of my chest but I know what I have to do.

"2" he said

"Camilla" Alesso called out to me over the phone.

"1" he finished

"Run" Alesso yelled.

"Mark!" Thomas yelled before he and Johnathan pulled their Beretta 93Rs and started firing shots.

On the mark I took off running. I had just came from practice so I had on my sneakers. It was very easy to get a distance between me and them.

"7 men, all white with dragon tattoos on the inside of their wrist. One of them has brown hair, blue eyes with a scar running from his eye to his cheek, most likely from a knife. Thomas won't be able to hold them off for long. I know I'm going to be taken so listen for the descriptions" I cried.

"I will find you. I promise me will." he said to me.

When I looked back there were three of them running behind me. I guess Thomas and Jonathan got four of them. I was a good forty meters ahead of them and I only had about twenty meters before I reached the road.

"I think-" I didn't get to finish that sentence because a shot rang out. It missed my ear by a margin but that didn't mean the ringing was avoided. My ears hurt so much that it made me lose focus.

"Cam? Baby, are you still there?" you could hear the panic in Alesso's voice.

"I love you" was the last thing I told him before I got rid of the phone.

I threw the phone in a bush only a foot length away from me and started crawling towards it so it looked like I was trying to get away but I was dragged back by my foot.

"You little bitch" he wheezed out, trying to catch his breath.

"Silver ring! Blue stone! Dragon design head!" I yelled.

"Shut up!" he snapped at me.

I reeled back and gave him my look of disbelief.

"Okay then. Damn" I muttered.

If I'm lucky then the longer I stay here the longer they can track my phone.

"Who wants to hear a poem?" I smiled sweetly at them.

"Roses are red. Violets are blue. I have five fingers and the third one's for you."

He raised his hand to slap me but I wasn't having it.

"Hit me and see where that hand ends up you two legged stool"

He still slapped me even though I warned him. His ring slice my cheek as gum ripped from the inside.

Your funeral buddy. He was as red in the face as he pulled a syringe out of his jacket and stabbed it into my leg before I could move away.

My vision started getting blurred as their figures multiplied. I saw one of them pull out yellow ropes before I blacked out.

When I snapped out of it she was about to hit me again. It seems Nevida didn't learn her lesson.

I stopped her arm and grabbed her hair by the roots. She screamed as she grabbed her hair as well to get my hands loose.

"It's one thing to hit me but you had the audacity to try again. Knowing pretty well that these dry ass tracks won't do you any good when I snatch them. I mean, where did you get the confidence from? Lady of the house?" I scoffed.

"jigeum jangnanhani?"

(Are you kidding me right now?)

"If you're the lady of the house then Liam Hemsworth is my husband"

"eotteohge gamhi nal ttaelyeo? geuleon sig-eulo kkeutnal geolago saeng-gaghamyeon michyeoyahabnida."

(How dare you hit me? You must be crazy to think it was going to end just like that.)

I slammed her face onto my knee before I socked her right in the nose. She collapsed onto the floor crying and screaming about how she just got her nose done.

"A bitch got my fucked up. Hitting me and shit" I mumbled pulling my hair out to fix in a tighter bun.

When I was finished fixing my hair she was still on the floor crying.

"Fix her ass, Lusanna!" Tracey yelled. She was as she put it 'cheering me on'

"Oh no. Don't cry now. You wasn't crying when you slapped me. You definitely wasn't crying when you boasted about your 'Lady of the House' position. You thought I was just going to allow you to slap me and we called it George?" I asked her.

"Get up, bitch or trust me I will come to you."

She was still crying. For someone who was all talk earlier she clearly only that.

"Guess I'm coming to get you" I told her. I wanted to kill this bitch since middle school and as I was about to grab her, someone blocked my path.

He was snapping his fingers in my face to get my attention.

"Lusanna! Eyes on me now!" Lucas yelled at me.

"Lucas?" I was confused and still high on adrenaline.

"malhae" he ordered

(Say it)

"hago sipji anh-a" I was not yielding.

(Don't want to)

"malhae" he forcefully ordered.

(Say it)

"naneun dogsin-idoego sipda. joyonghi anj-a eosaeghaji anhdaneun geos-eul algo sipseubnida. geodgo, kkum-eul kkugo sipseubnida. naneun honja issgo sipji anhseubnida. dangsingwa hamkke issgo sip-eoyo neulg-eo gago mindeullega balam-e gil-eul ilhneun geos-eul boneun geos-eun naega nugunji ttaemun-ibnida. daleun banjjog."

(I want to be single together. I want to sit together, where it's quiet and know that it's not awkward. I want to walk, and build our dreams. I don't want to be alone. I want to be with you. To grow old and watch the dandelions get lost in the wind because that's who I am. Your other half.)

A silence of a few breaths followed us before it was broken.

"Mind explaining, Lucas?"
