“Thanks!” Now, it was time to kick some ass.
With every swing, twirl, and kick I settled deeper and deeper in the mindless zone I only ever achieved with the sex toy weapon.
One person fell, then another. And another.
Lavi’s people were not warriors, and it was glaringly obvious. The more I took down, the more confident I became. Before long, my hands started to heat, and when I swung the nun chucks at the next head, the tips blazed and cut a flaming line across his cheek.
“Holy shit,” I breathed, stopping mid-fight.
“Keep going! Don’t fucking stop!” Sage yelled.
It snapped me out of my shock and I kept going. Ducking fists, sidestepping tackles, and jabbing my red hot nipple clamps into stomachs, chests, and in one case a mouth.
The man screamed and I winced at the smell of burning flesh.
Gross.
Lavi’s people dwindled and I relaxed, right before Lavi popped up in front of me.
“You,” she seethed. The previously mechanical and personalityless woman snarled, holding a long sword in both hands. The tip pointed right at my chest. “He wanted to recruit you, but I told him you were too weak to help the cause. And now you’ve killed him.”
“I didn’t kill him!” Technically I didn’t. Was that splitting hairs?
“Of course, you did! Even if you didn’t give the killing blow. He made a deal to extract you from those people.” She adjusted her grip on the sword, pressing it forward like she wanted to thrust it through my chest. Who was I kidding, that was absolutely what she wanted.
“No more distractions. It’s time for you to die.”
Pain burst in my head, and I screamed as I dropped to my knees and gripped the sides of my head. My vision blacked out and I swayed. This was what hell felt like.
“Mother!” Rand sounded like he was a million miles away, through a tunnel, and a wild windstorm.
Something dribbled out of my nose and tears started to steam down my face. I didn’t even try to stop them. It was simulating a release and I needed all the mental help I could get.
Hands grabbed me and jerked me from the ground. I whimpered and they set me back down.
The pain subsided, but my body was still so raw. The blurry image of Jari appeared above me. When he reached for me, I tried to shake my head and whimpered again. It was just too much.
Instead of trying to touch me, he laid down beside me and put his head right next to mine, gazing into my eyes. As far as comfort went, it was really fucking good. I just couldn’t do anything with it until I got rid of this disastrous feeling.
Grunts and pants filtered through the haze, and not the good kind. I mustered up the energy to turn my head. Rand was fighting with Lavi and it seemed like Lavi was winning. Not because she was the better fighter or more skilled.
No, Rand was only on the defensive. He wasn’t attacking at all. Just blocking her shots. Every time she cut him, he cursed but didn’t strike back. Even with the opportunity, he held back.
“Don’t let…her…hurt…you,” I croaked. It was barely audible, but I couldn’t take the idea of him letting his cunt nugget of a mother take him down. I got that it was his mother, but you never, ever let anyone lay a hand on you, no matter their relationship to you.
She backhanded him and his head snapped to the left, blood spewing across the floor. Not waiting for him to recover, Lavi nicked his shoulder with her blade. He grunted and stumbled backward, still not raising a hand to her. Then in quick succession, she sliced his calf, side, then stopped with the blade tucked under his chin.
Lavi was playing with him.
And he was letting her.
Pure, unadulterated rage swept through me.
Rand was the sweetest man I had ever met. He was kind, caring, and funny in a quiet way. How he came from two toxic parents was beyond me. But I wasn’t about to let him suffer at her hands any longer.
I was still weak as a kitten, sprawled over the floor, but the anger fueled the power locked away deep inside my psyche.
Zeroing in on the ugly hatred on her face, I pushed.
