The Destruction

Chapter 4: Past Life

Katherine had taken a shower and all her issues from the past had come back all at once. She felt that her life with her fiance was now in danger, there was only one thing she had to do and it was going to be heartbreaking. Katherine had no other choice; she didn't want the people that she loved to be in danger (even if they were the biggest mafia gang) . Katherine came out of the shower and got dressed, she wanted to talk to Noah but she couldn't do it but there was one person she could talk to. She went downstairs to go speak to the one person that will help her.

"Elizabeth, can I talk to you?"

"Yes of course, dear."

"I need to tell you something and I need your help."

"Okay I am all ears darling."

"It is about Anthony Rodriguez, the man who had sent those men who tried to kill you. Anthony Rodriguez was someone that I knew through my father before he had left us, Anthony was always weird around me. One night he was spending the night and I didn't lock my door and he came into my room, locked the door, and raped me. It was the worst thing ever. The pain I was going through was terrible but he didn't care he kept going. I felt like my soul was leaving my body. He made me feel disgusted. I had told my brother and my mom, they had believed me especially when I had shown them the bruises. My dad didn't believe me and thought I was looking for attention so he sent me to rehab, he thought that I was crazy. My brother and mom tried stopping him but they couldn't, they were afraid of him. I stayed there for a whole month, every visit was only with mom and my brother. One visit my brother and mom came, they had told me my father had just up and left no goodbye and no explanation. When I finally went home my brother and mother weren't home. They were out at the store getting food for the house. I went inside the house and it was dark when I turned the lights on. I saw him just sitting there on the couch with a whole bunch of people. They had wanted me to join their gang. I had refused but beat me until I said yes. I had bruises that lasted for days. I was taught to be their little slave, do as they say or face the consequences, I was gone for a month when I came back home my mother thought they kept me longer. When I finally told my mother about the situation we had to move far so we came here plus she had got a job opportunity. And now he's back and I'm going to kill him, he needs to suffer so I need some money, weapons, and Josh to come with me. I hope this isn't too much to ask for?"

"Oh dear, I am so sorry that you have gone through that. It's not too much to ask for your family now. You have a deal."

"Good oh another thing is Noah can't know about this you have to tell him that you had let me go. Here is the ring he needs to believe that you let me leave."

"Oh I don't know about that but all I know is that he is going to be heartbroken and I know that he loves you."

"Yes I know and I love him but this is something I need to take care of and Anthony can not keep doing this and if I don't stop him he is going to kill us all. I am going to pack my bags. Please have the money and weapons ready and tell Josh."

Elizabeth nodded her head as she understood and gave Katherine a hug. Katherine started packing her bags and was ready to leave. She went downstairs and saw that everything was packed up by the door next to Josh and Elizabeth. This was the hardest decision to do but Katherine needed to do this. The war that was between her and Anthony needed to end. A car had pulled up in front of the house. Katherine knew it was time for her to leave and figure this all out by herself. She had given Elizabeth my goodbye hug, before leaving Katherine and Josh were given phones. Elizabeth was the only one that they were able to talk to if we needed something. Elizabeth knew deep down that Katherine will become different. By the time Katherine comes home she will be different.

Josh and Katherine had placed all the things in the car and Katherine had driven off. As soon as they left, Elizabeth had sent all the information they needed about Anthony through the phones they were given. Josh had opened the glove compartment and pulled out a laptop.

"That was just sitting in there?"

"No, I had made sure one of the guards placed it in there for me to have, I didn't tell them anything but this laptop has all the information about everyone, especially Anthony. Trust me I know the whole story about what he did, when me and you had started practice I can tell by the way you present yourself that you are one tough woman. You are the second person to keep up with me and believe me I was surprised."

"Who was the first?"
"Your fiance of course. He didn't learn all his skills from his parents. Killing someone won't be easy but you probably already know that and killing someone will change you. You may not believe me right now but you're gonna see for yourself."

Katherine had nodded her head as she understood Josh knew that this was difficult for her so he had put the radio on and was looking for more information about Anthony. Josh had lowered the radio. "There is a safe house in Utah that's where we have to go."

"Okay put on the GPS so I know exactly where it is and so I don't make any wrong turns."

Josh had placed the gps and turned the volume up on the radio. I was driving for hours, I had enough energy to drive the entire time. Josh was in and out of his sleep but he slept most of the time. It was good that I brought him home. It was always work for him, I never really saw him rest. Finally we arrived at the safe house. The safe house looked like a little cabin with tinted windows. They had gone inside the house and the house had looked bigger on the inside. Katherine had suspected it to be small so people won't suspect anything but it was big, had a huge bathroom, 4 rooms, one huge basement, and a whole bunch of cameras. Katherine wanted to know what was in the basement so she went downstairs but the door needed a passcode. She didn't dare try the password, but she was so tired from driving. Katherine had taken a shower and had taken a nap in one of the bedrooms, she didn't care what Josh was doing; he was probably working. Katherine had woken up with so much confidence and strength, she was ready to train and past her limits. She knew that all her problems would go away when she gave him a taste of her own medicine. The life that she had in the past was now gone and she is now a new and improved Katherine Lion. Katherine left her room and went to Josh, who was obviously working.

"Hey Josh wanna start training?"

"I wish I could but I have to find more information. Just go downstairs to the basement, it's a big gym."

"There's a passcode for the door to open. Do you know it?"

"Yeah it's a four-digit code, it is 0865."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

I started my practice with some basic punches and some basic kicks, but then I pretended the punching bag was Anthony. That's when all my strength had fully come out. I could punch the bag for hours but then I would start bleeding. I was making combinations for when I did see him face to face, I didn't want to stop, the feeling that was burning inside was the anger that had built up . Katherine continued to go harder and harder, her fists started to bleed but she didn't realize she just continued to punch and throw combinations that had appeared in her head. Josh came downstairs and saw that there was blood on the bag, he quickly ran to Katherine and stopped her. Katherine tried to swing at Josh, he ducked. She finally came back to reality and saw that she was bleeding out.

"I'm sorry I don't know what has got into me."

"Hey just go upstairs, take a shower and go out in town and get some supplies."

Katherine walked away in shock, she didn't mean to swing at Josh. She was so stuck on the image of the punching bag being Anthony that she thought Josh was Anthony. Now she knows that she has strength but not much speed, that is an important skill that she's going to have to work on. Katherine cleaned herself up and went out to town and grabbed some food for breakfast. She was gonna do some groceries but they had plenty of food in the cabin so she went on her way home.
