Oh, that’s right, a brand new phone.
I logged in my details as the sound of the elevator came. Footsteps echoed. Was she back already? I lifted my gaze, waiting for the…I’m back,from Kat.But there wasn’t any of that…just the sound of a drunken slur, followed by aslap!
“Fucking dirty bitch.”
I froze at the sinister snarl and slipped my phone into my pocket.
“You want to look at someone else?”
“No…”Kat’s voice was barely audible. But I knew trouble when I heard it.
A low tortured groan came from her lips, before a hardthump.One that sounded like it came from the living room. I rose from the bed and made my way to the doorway. My heart was thundering and fear punched into the back of my throat as I watched Damon tower over her on the sofa. He braced one hand on the cushion beside her head and reached between her legs with the other.
A low, sickening sound came from her before the words, “Stop…Damon, stop.You’re hurting me.”
“Hurting you?” he growled, and thrust his fingers between her legs even harder.
“Get the fuck away from her!” I yelled as I stepped out of the doorway.
Kat just moaned, her head lolling to the side. But that wasn’t drunk…I knew drunk.
“What the fuck did you do?” I cried as I stepped closer.
She tried to push his hand away, but the sick piece of shit just laughed.
That sound did something to me, shattering some barrier, and primal instinct roared to the surface.You fucking bastard!I took two steps and rushed him, unleashing a savage cry. I hit him with all I had, driving my shoulder into his side.
He stumbled, tripped, and fell to the floor. But I couldn’t stop, punching and screaming until my throat burned. All I could hear was Kat’s moan…and those goddamn bruises on her arms. Bruises I should’ve done something about. “I’ll fucking kill you for hurting her!I’ll. Fucking. Kill. You!”Hard breaths savaged my chest. I tried to breathe, tried to control the rage as I put myself between him and Kat. “Kat…go to the elevator,” I urged her.“Go right now.”
She just whimpered and sobbed as Damon slowly pushed himself up from the floor. But his attention wasn’t on her anymore…it was on me.Good.
“You want to take her place, little Anna?” He licked his lips and took a step closer. “I’m down for that. But you know what I like now…drugged and compliant.”
“You fucking drugged her?” I whimpered, fighting the desperate need to glance at her. His smile made my stomach roll. “You…piece of fucking shit,” I shouted, then lunged, landing on him.
I clawed, and swung. But he was bigger, laughing and deflecting blow after pathetic blow. I punched and kicked, catching him on the shins with my bare feet. Agony roared with thecrackin my toes as his smile faltered. I saw his true face then, as the mask slipped. I saw a soul made of tar. He wasn’t just sick…he was cruel.
And I saw how truly terrifying it was to be in his way…and right now, I was in his way.
He lashed out with a fist, glancing my cheek. My head snapped to the side, spinning me with the impact, and that agony howled through my head once more.
“Anna...No!”Kat screamed.
But Damon was on top of me, grabbing a fistful of my hair. His menacing sneer blurred, so close now. “You want to fucking play?”
His fist came again, driving into my face as he held my hair. Stars burst behind my eyes with the savage blow. Screams filled my ears. But they weren’t my screams.
“NO!”Kat shrieked as she kicked and clawed like a wildcat.
But his hold slipped. Fractured images hit me, but Kat’s howls were dull now, hollow and warped. Everything moved slowly as I tried to fight the darkness hovering behind the bright sparks in my eyes. The room blurred as I kicked out, driving myself slowly backwards. My hand hit something hard, something that slid against the floor. I blinked, tried to think, and lifted it to my face. It was my phone…my phone.
Those stars in my eyes blurred my movements. I didn’t think…couldn’t thinkas the agony consumed my head and plunged down my spine. Movement came at the corner of my eye and a terrifyingthumpfollowed. My fingers were already moving, pressing something I didn’t know as Kat wobbled on her feet…then hit the floor.
“Anna?”
“Please…” I gasped. “Please help me.”
“Anna?”Finley’s voice roared from my phone.
