Chapter Twenty Eight

See Only Me

"Ren look out behind you!" Maliki hollers. David that sneaky bastard had come around the corner, when I was distracted with his damn minions. Pain surges in my lower back. He had a firm grip on my shoulder he shoved a pocket knife deep into the the right side of my back.

"Ren get the hell out of the way!" I hear the shout but I don't believe my ears. Rolling down and out of the way as I grab my side I catch a glimpse of a warrior angel. Duel blades glisten past the top of my head barley giving me a chance to get out of the way as she launched her attack slashing back and forth at David who stumbles and jumps about. Desperately trying to get out of the way of the wrath of her blades. Each swing like a beautiful dance elegant and mystical like Anna.

My heart was racing, standing I watch the scene before me. Anna whipped around like a Tiger cornering her pray Every time he tried to escape, there she was. The blood in her eyes for David, she no longer saw me. "Anna," I called out pathetically wanting her to look at me. She Didn't turn, she didn't loose focus, hell I wasn't even sure she had heard me. David had tripped and was now crawling backwards on the floor but he wasn't scared. He was laughing as he looked at my angel.

"That's right Anna, hate me so much that all you see is me. Hate me so much that all you hate left in your thoughts is me. Then kill me you will never be able to forget me." He laughed manically Anna's sword started to come slashing down. Her wrist caught, I spun her around to face me. I watched her empty eyes feel with tears. The swords dropped clattering to the floor as I help her. It was the first time I realized blood was splattered all over her. She had kill to get here, she had killed for me. My lips covered her desperate to feel her. I still couldn't believe she was alive and Right now all I wanted to do was comfort us both. I slipped my tongue between her perfect bow shaped lips not caring of the blood splattered on her face. I wrapped my arms firmly around her body holding her close. I just kept hoping to god she wouldn't push me away still full of hate, because god damn it I loved this woman.

"No!!! What have you done. It was perfect, she was perfect." David howled out. Breaking the connection. Anna pushes away a little from me unwilling to meet my eyes. Goes to pick up her katanas that had fallen and turned toward David once more. He stands sneering. "Damn you Feng she was almost mine."

I grab her wrist pulling her behind me, Though she fought against it Hissing behind my back. I didn't give to fucks if shes mad, let her be. She'd have to cut me down before I let her anywhere near him. Seems David had become obsessed with Anna. When it started I'm not sure, but one things for sure she was falling for it. I could see it in her eyes the blood lust, the hatred shes would hunt him down to ends of the earth even if it brought her death. I glared in silence while I held my Tiger back. Sounds of Police sirens could be heard coming closer. Fuck what timeing.

"Guess that's my cue." David turns to leave. Looking back over his shoulder "Anna I have a gift for you. All the answers to your investigation. You want to truth come find me." He turns to me and glares. "Come alone or I burn the file."

"How about I just beat the information out of you now." She growls from behind trying to charge him. I wrap my hands around her waist pulling her back before she can touch him. He smirks waves over his shoulder and walks off.

Shes now kicking and screaming in my arms. "He's getting away. God damn it Ren, let me go. I'm going to kill that fucker. She begins to cry How can you just let him go." I had no words if I wasn't focused on her, on the fact that she was alive. Focus on the fact that for some reason he wants her to obsess over him and I refused to let her go to him. I grab her firmly turning her to face me. Her face was flushed with anger and pain. I brush a loose strand out of her face. The sounds of sirens now present outside and men shouting to get down echo through the manor.

"You know young lady when I gave you my car keys I hadn't expected you to crash it." The voice of another unwelcome intruder interrupts this moment when it's just me and her.
