He Needs Me (Wattys 2020)

45

Guys pleaseeeee vote and comment, this book hasn't been doing to well and I really want it to blow up. This is one of my favourite works, please help a girl out.

Thanks G's

The roof was empty as I stumbled onto the gravel, my metal sword dragging behind me. Jamal and his men were already on their way to the south end to finish things leaving only me and the residents.

I told Jamal it was important they all went to make a statement, show everyone they're a pack. In all honesty I just didn't want anyone there when Sargent came. It'll only make things more difficult for me.

I slowly made my way towards the metal box, it was one of them vent things but made a good place to sit. The pain from my back only got worse as the cool east wind blew, cold wind and an open wound were not the one.

Beep beep beep

Sliding the phone out of my pocket I picked it up without checking the caller ID.

" You want to know something Eehira?" Andrei? I thought. His deep husky voice was unforgettable.

" if the something is important then sure" I mumbled, faux confidence dripping from my tone. I was not going to allow myself to be weak in from of him, it was a mistake I wouldn't make again.

" 23 military men are running up the 3rd floor staircase right now. Mr Henry Cooper is walking slowly behind them, have fun" why would he do that? What was the need to tell me such information when he told me he wouldn't come back.

" I can handle it"

" you better I'm not coming to help you this time" he seethed.

" listen you pig faced whore I'm going to survive and bomb your house afterwards"

" on a serious note if I die, WHICH I WONT. Can you drop the debt, you can have my dead body if you want I don't mind, k thanks"

"Storm"

Hanging up I slipped the phone back into my pocket, if they were on the third floor when he called they were definitely almost to the roof. 23 MEN, why would Sargent bring that many people with him, I'm not superwomen.

Speak of the devils. The roof door was slammed opened, revealing the row of men all wearing the same black outfit.

Glasses covering their eyes as if we were in an Indian movie, if it was an Indian movie I would have stomped on the ground and made them all fly away.

1 by 1 the men ran up to me. I held the sword in front and slashed whoever came at me. Sargent would not have provided his men with guns, he wanted to be the one to kill me.

With a quick slash guy number 8 fell to the ground with a thud, his jugular vein bleeding spraying blood all over my trainers. Crep check won't be able to get rid of these stains, damn.

I ran around the small metal box to buy a few seconds, my sword arm was extremely tired I could barely lift it. As I turned the corner 2 men stood blocking my way, large blades in their hands. I almost lifted my sword when another ripped it from my grasp, grabbing my hair he pulled me backwards.

" boss we got her" he yelled, shit.

I tried to fight against the man behind me but it was impossible to get out of his grasp. I only managed to subdue 9 men, there was another 14 men including Sargent. I fucked it.

" nice to see you again Stormi" my eyes whipped towards the source, the tall blonde man stepped around the corner. He looked the exact same, like a prick .

" I'd say the same but it really isn't" I sassed, one thing about that man is that he can't stand sass.

" did you think it would be this easy"

" what" I questioned, confusion is all I felt.

A sour chuckle escaped his lips.
" the southies were going to leave anyways, I just needed some scape goats."

" you haven't changed one bit have you, your the same disgustingly manipulative man "

" hit her" he mumbled.

The 2 men in front of me began treating me like a punching bag, the buff one landed more than a few harsh punches on my face. I was definitely going to be littered with bruises if I survived.

" ok stop, now Stormi listen to me" the 2 men took a step back allowing me to partially see Sargent through my bloodied vision. " it's time I get my revenge"

" your revenge is real cold, it's been 3 years Sarg"

" I needed to wait until you were already in trouble, just like you did with me"

" you were raping helpless women in Afghanistan!" I screamed, the men around me seemed to slightly flinch at my revelation, thank god they weren't like him. Sargent chuckled as if my words were funny.

" and that's what I did to you to, afraid to admit it." The old memories came rushing back
" I tied you to my bed, stuffed your mouth with socks so your precious Commander wouldn't hear and took your virginity"

For years I tried to push that memory down but it seemed as if it'd always come back to hit me.
The disgusting man in front of me used his power to hurt me, hurt many others to. Suddenly all the pain I was previously feeling had vanished.

The adrenaline took over, fuelling each limb.

" I'm going to kill you" I sneered, pushing the men holding me back I ran straight at him, no planning or game play in my head. I just wanted to decapitate him.

With a battle cry I launched my right fist towards his face, the connection echoed of the rooftops. I went in for another hit when Sargent grabbed my fist and bent my arm behind my back.

The searing pain causing me to scream. I tried to move but within a second a cringe worthy snap floated in the harsh east wind.

" ah you motherfucker" I cried, the searing pain ripped through my already weakened body.

" follow me" he dragged my struggling body through the roof top door and pushed me inside the first room, my body stumbled across the piles of rubbish landing on the ground.

Sargent mumbled a few things to his assassins before entering the room, a mischievous grin on his lips.

" I'm going to beat you to a pulp then I'm going to touch you" my body scattered backwards trying to get as far away as I could.

" I won't rape you though, I'll be back for that" he stated confidently as he took slow calculated steps towards me.

" Sar......."
