Aziel comes out of nowhere, landing a fist right in the side of Santiago’s head. Santiago stumbles to the side, grabbing onto the tree to right himself. “You motherfucker.” Santiago growls.
“Do not…” Aziel pants, wiping blood from the corner of his painted mouth. “touch my girl, ever again.”
Santiago laughs, menace lacing through his tone. “Your girl?Ivy, in every way, shape and form, on every inch of her little body, belongs to me. I’ve made her a woman. I’ve made her into the beauty she is today. Do not, under any circumstance, think she isyour girl.”
“You sick, old fuck.” Aziel says, grabbing him by the back of the neck and slamming his forehead against the branch. “You rapist, pedophile. Fuck you.” He slams his face against the tree again.
Santiago whips his hand out and karate chops Aziel in the neck. Aziel drops to the ground, clutching and groaning in pain.
“Fuck.” Aziel gasps.
“You fuckinggringo. Tienes suerte de que no te castre aquí.”You’re lucky I don’t castrate you right now.
Santiago spits on him.
Then he turns to me, fury heating his gaze. Holding out his hand, he barks, “Enough. Come on, Ivy.”
I go to climb the tree again. “No. Please. Just let me go.” I cry out.
Santiago grabs onto the length of my hair and pulls me off the tree. I land on my ass, a chunk of hair ripping out in the process.
Iscream.
“¿Qué le has hecho a tu cabello? Qué desastre has hecho de las cosas. Tendrás suerte si podrás sentarte el resto del mes una vez que termine contigo.”What have you done to your hair? What a mess you have made of things. You will be lucky if you will be able to sit for the rest of the month once I'm done with you.
He lifts me up by the arm and starts pulling me towards the house. I arch out of his hold and scream at the top of my lungs. “Stop!Someone help me!”
Santiago slaps me across the face, and I can instantly taste the tangy flavor of blood on my tongue.
“Speak out of turn again and I will rip your tongue out of your mouth.” He growls in my face.
We reach the terrace when I’m slammed on the ground. Aziel pulls me up and shoves me into the grass. “Go!” He shouts.
Santiago lifts himself off the ground, wiping down his pants and chuckling. “Fucking bastard gringo.” He sneers, rushing Aziel. They tumble to the ground inside of the house, and I let out an involuntary scream.
Aziel knees Santiago in the face. Lifting himself up, he shuts the glass doors, locking himself inside and keeping me out.
“What are you doing?” I scream, pounding on the door. “Let me in! Or come out! Let’s make a break for it!” I cry.
“Ivy, run. Please go. I’ll catch up with you.”
I cry, shaking my head. I can’t go without him. I’ll never make it. And I don’t trust that this isn’t a trap for Aziel.
“Ivy!” Aziel roars, kicking Santiago in the side to keep him down. “Go! Right now! Run!”
I look behind me and get ready to run when Aziel calls my name.
“Wait!” A worried look enters his gaze that I’ve never seen before. It settles an uneasy liquid in my gut, one that makes me want to fall to my knees and expel the little food I had earlier.
“I’m glad I rescued you that day. I’m glad you were crawling through the destruction and looked up at me with your big blue eyes. I didn’t realize the emptiness in my life until you crashed into it. If all I get with you is a few moments, well, at least I had you at all.” He breathes through the glass, his breath fogging up with each word. I press my hand to the door, wanting to reach him. Wanting to reach his words and hold onto them for dear life.
Something is so, very wrong.
Santiago gets up, pulling him down and punching him so hard in the back of the head that I cringe. He looks over at me, a sadistic look on his face.
I make a run for it. Pressing my heels into the ground, I burst into a sprint and rush as quick as possible. Then I run into a brick wall, flying backwards, and falling on my back. The wind knocks out of me, my breath flying from my lungs and out of my chest.
When two figures fall over me, I let out a strangled scream that doesn’t make it out of my throat.
