Chapter IX: The Kidnap
After leaving the park, the two girls went to the mall and did some shopping to forget about you know whom. Then catch the four o’clock movie to see The Devil‘s Rejects. As the movie ended, they saw two fine-looking men who came near them and started to have an interesting conversation. They laugh, talk, exchanges numbers, and said their good-byes to the men they have just met. Although the numbers Salonda and Anzu gave the men were fake, at least they had a good time with them. As they left the movie theater, it was hard for them not to look behind their shoulders to see if anyone is following them home. Yet at the same time, laughing about a dumb-looking clown with bad breath following them with no care in the world. It is 7:30 and their laugher echoes in the crowd less streets of the dark night sky.
Salonda never have felt happy and outgoing since she awoke from the coma three months and two weeks ago. It was a good thing her friend, Anzu, was at the train station and for seeing Kaiba with Megamai at the park. Although Kaiba hurts Salonda by dumping her for Megamai and kiss the girl to prove he have forgotten about her, she still loves him. Even when she was talking to a man name Andrew from the movies, she thought about Kaiba. Salonda hated feeling the way she does for Kaiba but couldn’t help it any longer. At that moment, she is rethinking of her plan to move on with her life and to get the boy she loves back. Yet, she didn’t want to think on it too much because she was having too much fun. She is glad she didn’t go back to her apartment and be mourning over what happen to her three months ago and for her broken relationship. It was time for a little break for all the drama she been having.
However, as they walked pass the alley, a terrible feeling came over Salonda’s spine. This feeling made her stop in her tracks as Anzu kept walking up the street. Salonda felt a presence somewhere, waiting to attack her and Anzu. The invisible darkness came around her as she felt nervous and frivolous. This feeling was like a spirit came though her body with evil intentions. Soon the feeling turns to fear that overcame and smutted her. This fears that someone from her past is following them when they were at the mall, movies, and probably when they were at the park. Now the presence is somewhere near them and Salonda feared that it is Giovanni that is doing this. Yet, he is dead and he could not be putting fear into Salonda‘s soul. Then again, what if he is alive? What if he is following them to get what he wanted? She knows that Giovanni want is her necklace, her ex-boyfriend’s company, and the Sennen Puzzle but she doesn’t know what he wants with these items. All she knows now is Anzu, herself, and everyone involve with her life is I danger, including Kaiba’s life. Still she prays to God that it is not he, everything will be all right, and Giovanni is dead.
It was a while before Anzu notice Salonda wasn’t by her side. She turns around and sees Salonda looking like a zombie or if she just seen death as her eyes stare at something really hard. She came towards Salonda, as the fear grew intense for Salonda to stand as her necklace started to glow. Its glow is light purple as she almost went unconscious, falling to the ground until Anzu caught her. Salonda felt weak as her life was going out of her body. Anzu calls out her name to wake her up from this “weak spell”. It was a while before Salonda awoke from the trance, got out of Anzu arms, and looks around the area. She is still at the street and realized she had freak out in front of her friend. Salonda looks at Anzu and knew she was concern about her. Salonda had to explains herself as Anzu asked,
“What is wrong, Salonda? One minute you was laughing and enjoying yourself, the next minute you suddenly vanish. Soon I found you almost unconscious and falling to the ground. Are you feeling alright?”
Salonda didn’t want to put her into danger or tell her about the feeling she had a few minutes ago. Therefore she had to tell Anzu a lied until she can confirm the presence she felt is just an illusion in her mind. She gave her a disarming expression and answered,
“Nothin’ wrong, Anzu. I thought I saw that clown in the alley and I almost faint with fright. Don’t worry about me, I will be fine. Besides what did you thought I was doing? You thought I was thinking or have seen Kaiba with Miss Thing? Don’t worry I am not thinking of him.”
Anzu let out a sigh after hearing Salonda’s answer. This have lessen her suspicious but not completely. She is glad Salonda is not thinking about Kaiba but has a feeling that Salonda is not telling her everything. However, she didn’t want to ask Salonda at the time and decided to leave it alone. The main idea is Salonda is all right and was not thinking about him. Anzu folded her arms and gave Salonda a relief look.
“Are you sure? Because I don’t want to see you mourn over him. He is with Megamai and there is no use to hold on to this creep. Kaiba made his bed and lying in it,” she responds to Salonda.
“I know, I am not going to waste my time thinking about him,” Salonda lied as she still thought about him and the feeling. By then, he necklace stops glowing and the feeling have not left her alone. She felt weak but not like the one she felt a few minutes ago. Yet, she ignores the feeling as she pulls out her cellphone to see who has called her during the movies. She checked her voice mail first as she scrolls down a group of names that called her. She was almost done until she saw Kaiba’s cellphone number and name on her phone. She could not believe Kaiba left a message on her phone because he usually never leave message on ANYONE phone. Besides, why would he leave a message on her phone?
Probably want to curse me out and to tell me he should have been left me, or it could have been Megamai calling on his celly to tell me that Kaiba is her man. All I need is a racist bitch to try to ruin my night with her bullshit but I won’t allow it. She can have him…over my dead body. -She thought as she looks over her shoulder and see Anzu looking at the name, too. Salonda smirked and teased,
“Getting into my business ain’t we, Miss Noisy? By the way you’re looking, you want to know why he called, too.”
“Not really, but I can’t believe he called you, though. Knowing him, he might want to tell you he’s happy with the tramp. If I were you, I would just delete his name on the phone,” Anzu said hatefully as Salonda rolls her eyes and press on his name to hear the message. As soon as the message begins to play, Salonda’s eyes soften as a message hit a core in her heart. Anzu heard it too and couldn’t believe what she is hearing.
“Salonda, this is Seto. I am sorry for ever hurting you by being with Megamai. I wanted to prove to you that I too have moved on and to make you jealous. But inside I haven’t succeeded and in result, I have hurt you. Look, I am not good at this so I’m just going to straight out tell you. I love you, Salonda Takashi and I want you back. If you don’t want to see me again then I’ll understand.”
When the message was over, Salonda became speechless and happy to hear those words from Kaiba. She knows that Seto still loves her and want her back in his life. She could not believe he actually apologize to her for hurting and breaking her heart by being with Megamai. Salonda knows he can be a jackass but she never knew he was trying to make her jealous by being with a racist bitch like Megamai. Yet, Kaiba did succeeded by making her jealous for a change and Salonda did not like feeling envious. Salonda is glad he was not interesting in Megamai and only want to be with her. She knows she want to be with him and want to tell him he is a jackass and that she loves him too.
Salonda looks at Anzu and could tell she is astonished too, to hear those three words from him. She soon shut the phone up as a new thought appears in her mind. He does love me, that good-for-nothing bastard! He better be lucky that I haven’t given the guy from the movies my real number.
“That was the nicest thing Kaiba have ever said to anyone. I didn’t even know he can be so…sweet,” Anzu said to Salonda.
Salonda responded,
“That’s not the only thing he ever said, sweetly. He never shows this side to anyone but only to me and his little brother.”
Anzu didn’t say a word but only went to her thoughts. She never heard anything like that from Kaiba and thought he was just cold-hearted to the bone. She also never thought he would love another human being other then his brother. Till this day, she doesn’t know why Salonda fell for him but she knew this has to be true love. This comes to show that even he can find love. -She thought before a hand cover her mouth and drags her to the alley.
Soon the streetlights went out as Salonda suddenly realized it and search for Anzu. She did not see her anywhere. Salonda started to breathe faster and deeper as she calls out her friend's name. It was pitch black and the feeling grew stronger as her necklace started to glow again. She calls out Anzu’s name again and hopes she can get a respond form her. She wanted Anzu to be all right, that Giovanni is dead, hopes she is not in a trap. She tries to see if Anzu is in the alley but it was too hard to tell. Salonda calls out Anzu’s name until a man hit her with a baseball bat. Salonda blacks out as she fell to the ground and her cellphone fell from her hands. Then two men in black suits came towards her body, grab her, and take her to the depths of the alley. The man who hit her with a baseball bat saw her cellphone and picks it up. He presses on Kaiba’s name and heard the message. He soon drops the phone and steps on it to pieces.
It was awhile when Salonda awoke from her deep dreams and could see clearly. She realizes that she is at a disgusting and rat-infected alley with her arms tied behind her back. Then she saw two men holding her on each arm. Salonda saw Anzu and she could tell Anzu is too tied by the wrist and her ankles. She did not know what these men want with them but had a bad feeling that it was not for good reasons. Salonda looks at the men again and knew they were the boys they met at the movies, which started to creep her out more. She tries to calm down and focus to find a way out until she saw him.
He had a white neat-cut hair and grayish-green eyes that shows evil and destruction to make his face appears dangerous. He is very pale like a vampire, long nails like a wolf, and a huge scar on his left cheek to mark his cold army past. He wore his favorite gray trench coat, a thick black turtleneck, and green casual pant. He smirked evilly to Salonda as he points his cane at the two men and order them to bring her near him. They did as they were commended and forcefully drag her to the devil himself.
The man grins as Salonda came closer to him. When she finally came near him, he took her in his arms and smell the raspberry and cinnamon favor of her skin. Salonda wanted this jerk to get away from her but he only kisses her. He kisses her fully on the mouth, trying to get his wrinkled tongue in her throat to satisfied his evil urges. His hands travel all over her body until they landed on her behind. Salonda tries to stop him but he uses his tongue as a gag so she would reject his protestation. Then, out of nowhere, Salonda bite on his tongue, heavily. He pulls out and smacks Salonda cross her face as he felt the pain and numbness of his tongue. She fell to the ground because the men were ordered to let her go. The man wipes the blood away from his lips and grabs Salonda by the shirt from the ground. He pulls her to his eye-level as Anzu grasps, fearing he is going to kill Salonda for her acts. However, he only grins and touches her face softly and gently.
“You haven’t changed a bit the last time I’ve saw your face. You still have that ambition to go against my conspicuous plan, and still look beautiful and exotic as ever,” then he looks at Anzu, “Your friend looks stunning as well, Ms. Salonda Takashi.” he added as he licks his redden lips at Anzu. Anzu wanted to back away from this creepy man, but is tied up.
Salonda frowns at him and rudely said,
“I wish I can say the same to you, Mr. Saito Giovanni. But I guess you have change from a fucking pervert to a sick old fuck.”
Giovanni wanted to smack her again but kept his cool. If he hit Salonda again then she would not tell him about the password or give him her necklace. Therefore he had to keep his cool or no answer from his favorite person. Salonda could sense that this is the first time Anzu have seen Giovanni. To her understanding, he is the man who destroyed everyone lives and is the devil himself. Salonda or Anzu couldn’t believe that Giovanni is still alive, although Kaiba didn’t shot him, Giovanni could have died in the fire on Death Island. Giovanni pulls Salonda closer to him and whispers furiously,
“You should be more nice to I because I have the power to kill you at this time. If I do kill you now, then you and maybe your friend’s death will be on the front page. Perhaps I can leave you and hers corpses on Kaiba’s front porch and let him have the time of his life to mourn over your un-timing death. Therefore be grateful because I have not killed you…yet.”
Salonda did not believe him and added her own comment to his little speech.
“Why should I be more grateful to you? Give me one good reason why I should treat you like a savior sent from the heavens to cleanse all the world form evil? Remember, you rape and beat me until I was almost dead. All I know is I have lost respect towards your sorry ass! “
Giovanni pushes her as his men grads her by the arms. He is already angry and knew his time is running out. Therefore he cut to the chase and responded,
“You are a stupid bitch, you know that and I do not know why Seto ever deal with your kind. However, I do not have that much time to talk to an ingrate like yourself so I will cut it straight to you. I want the Crystal of Osiris around your neck and the password to Kaibacorp. So first, I will…” Giovanni trails off as he touches the necklace and experience a shock though his hand.
The necklace starts to glow and this time Anzu and Giovanni’s henchmen saw the powerful light spreading over the alley and the rest of the city. Giovanni’s hand almost caught on fire as he realizes the full power of the necklace. He never knew it is this powerful and anyone who touches it will die unless they are the chosen one to its power or pure in heart. Luckily, he did not die but the next tine he will not be so full of luck. He jerks his hand away and thought of another way to get the necklace off her neck. He cusses under his breath as Salonda smirked in the recovered dark. Giovanni grabs her neck and starts smacking her until he felt like stopping. Anzu couldn’t believe the necklace had powers and the fact her friend is getting a beat down. She didn’t want to see her friend getting smacks like she is not worth shit.
“Stop it! Leave her alone, you evil bastard!” Anzu yelled out as one man hit her in the stomach and she kneels on the ground in pain.
“Anzu!” Salonda yells as Giovanni turns his attention to her and smiles. He stops smacking Salonda and said,
“I should have told you that if your friend disturb our conversation or my plans, she will die, immediately.”
“You fucking snake!” Salonda hisses at him.
Giovanni just laughs softly as he held on to Salonda, once again.
“Call me whatever you want, my darling. It doesn’t matter to me, anymore. I will get your necklace and the password to KaibaCorp even if I have to hurt you or your love ones to get it. However, let’s forget about the idea and go to part two of my plan. I would love to talk more about it at Obiaba Tower. What do you say, my dear?” he asks as he looks dead into her eyes, like the devil.
Anzu wanted to say no but she would be kill so she kept her mouth shut and prays that Salonda would say no. The intention in the alley grew as Salonda finally gave her answer.
“What if I refuse not to go with you? What will you do to me, then?”
Giovanni sneered.
“Then your sister and your friend will die.”
Sister? -Anzu thought as her eyes went big and suspicious.
Salonda looks at him with grief and shock. She thought she was hearing things and tries to ignore it until she had doubts.
“Sister? No, my sister is on the train to--”
“If you do not believe me then see for yourself. Bring her out, gentlemen!” he soon yells and orders.
The men did what he commanded and brings out Ebony out of the van. Salonda wanted to die when she saw her sister, badly beaten. Giovanni turns Salonda around to see her abuse sister as they bring her out. Ebony’s face has bruises and blood is coming out of her mouth, cheeks, and from her noise. Her clothes are tore as her skirt is reduce to bloody panties, her shirt is missing buttons but has blood on it too. Ebony’s jewelry is missing and all over her body has cuts, bruises, teeth marks on her arms, and sweat mix with blood lays on her dark purple hair. It is a deep line that cross her abdomen and another across her bloody chest. She is also hand cuffed as the men carries her weak body and puts it in front of everyone. Anzu became terrified as she knew what Giovanni is capable of doing. She felt sick as she smell the blood and piss on Ebony’s young body. Salonda almost fainted but Giovanni held on to her and laughs at the situation like it is a circus. Salonda cries out,
“EBONY! Oh my God, Ebony!” Salonda had tears in her eyes as she saw her sister in this state.
Ebony looks up and tries to gave a smile but she cough up blood before she ever had the chance. Salonda takes to be brave for her little sister but could not hold back her tears. Ebony looks directly at Salonda and whisper imperceptibly,
“Sal…onda…I…told…you he…d…d…don’…want to…see…see…me. I…’m…just…a…bastrad baby…to…to…” then she pass out before she finish her sentence.
Salonda wanted to kill Giovanni for the wrongdoing he had did to Ebony. She wanted to respond to her sister but was too disturb to even open her mouth. Yet, she turns and look straight into Giovanni evil eyes of hatred. How can he lives with himself every night. How can a man like this survives every close call to death and still be this cold as stone. He is not even human for the crimes he have did! He IS the devil himself and more colder than Seto. -She thought before she opens her mouth to the devil.
“Why did you do this to a helpless teenage, you bastard! She haven’t done anything to you and you know it! Why, GD?! Why?!”
Giovanni just sneered again as he grips on her arms more intensely. Salonda let out a moan as he gave her his disturbing answer.
“Because she is the only way to get an answer from you, Salonda. She is the only thing, besides your ex-boyfriend and friends, I can use against you.”
“So the train and calling Mama Dee were…planed?” Salonda said the last word with fear and a knot came between her vocal to prevent her from saying more. Giovanni laughs somberly as her continues his answer.
“Yes, it was. You see, the only thing to get Ebony away from you is to make it believable that her father want to see his illegitimate child. Of course, Mama Dee would love for grandchild to see her father because of ‘faith’. Therefore, I got one of my men to follow Mama Dee around Kyoto, found out information about where Ebony is at, get little know facts about Ebony’s father, and get a conman to disguise himself as an everyday African Japanese man to fool her. Then we set up the train to Tokyo so it would seem like she is going to meet her father. As soon as the train starts, we grab your sister, took her off her train ride, and drag her into the van. It was prodigious to see your sister getting beaten up and sexual assaulted by all my men. To see her blood busting out of her little juicy mouth and to kiss…”
“Shut-up! No more! Let her go! Let my sister go…you son ova bitch…” Salonda cries out as tears came rolling out of her eyes to her cheeks. Giovanni just shock his head and grins.
“I’m afraid not. Either you come with me or…” he snaps his finger as a man came behind Ebony and kicks her in the back. Salonda and Anzu grasp at the same time as the beating continues.
Soon another man drags Ebony off the ground and held her up so the man who just kick her can beat her down. He hit her in the face twice and hit her in the stomach. The man pulls out his knife and cuts her revealing breast. He did not cut it off but a bust of blood came out of her damaged skin. Ebony let out a moan as he drags the knife to her belly button and stabs her. He high-kick her in the ribs and here the cut is at. He continues to torture her as the third man came with a whip and starts to leach at her as the who kick her took a rest. Salonda watches in silence as she wanted to die for not helping her almost dead sister. She just shock her head and tries to close her eyes as Giovanni forcefully held up her head to see the man slaying.
Anzu got angry as she watches her friend’s sister being murder in front of her eyes. She wanted to break free and beat the hell out of those men, especially Giovanni for allowing this. This is torture for Anzu and she couldn’t keep her mouth shut any longer. She yells out,
“You cold-hearted bastard, using Ebony for you sick games and torturing her and us to show off your ’power’. Guess what, that don’t make you a powerful, intellect man but a fucking coward! You should be ashamed of yourself for doing this crime!”
“Anzu, please shut-up. You just gonna put yourself in more danger!” Salonda said faintly as she tries not to look up. Anzu kept on talking.
“No, because I’m already in more danger and what’s the use!” then she looks at Giovanni again. “You should rot in hell with Satan! I hope the police will find you and lock you up for life or let you die!”
Giovanni laughs like an insane man ready to meet his maker at Anzu cries. His laugher echoes throughout the alley, which made Salonda hush. He let Salonda go as she kneels on the ground and cries to the heavens. Soon Salonda agrees to Giovanni request as she looks down to the ground.
“Yes, I will go with you! Please, don’t hurt Anzu or Ebony and I will go!”
Giovanni orders his henchman to let Ebony go and to get Salonda off the dirty ground. Ebony fell on the hard dirt as her helpless body did not more. The men picks up Salonda and was about to leave until Giovanni holds up his hand, to tell the me to stop. He smirked in the shadows as he finally said his peace.
“Good choice, my dear. Men, take Salonda to the van and make her feel comfortable,” then he looks at Anzu and continues, “Since your friend could not keep her mouth shut, kill her and Ms. Ebony.” he said finally.
Salonda eyes went moist as they took her to the van. Anzu sent a dead glace at Giovanni and shouted,
“You said you wouldn’t hurt us!”
“I said that but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill you all but I guess that what happens when you couldn’t keep your mouth shut. Raski, kill Ebony by stabbing her a like bit more and make sure the other girl watches. Dimo, after Raski is finish with the little girl, overdose this talkative bitch with heroine in her blood stream. Romeo make sure the boys do their job; and when those girls are dead, cut their heads off and sent them to a Yugi Muto residents. This should make him come out play my little game.” then he left in the shadows.
Anzu cuss under her breath before Romeo took her and place her against the cold brick building. He also grads Ebony off the ground and place her several inches away from her. Then he went out of the alley and made sure anyone is not coming the alley and that Giovanni’s van is on its way to the tower. Anzu did not say a word but only went to her thoughts. She couldn’t believe she finally met and seen the man who cost Salonda grief. She thought, like everyone else, that he have died in the fire but he prove them wrong. Anzu did not want any of her friends or herself to die by the hands of Giovanni. She soon figure out why Salonda seem to be worried and why she almost passing out on the sidewalks. Anzu had to do something to save herself and Ebony’s life from danger or the hands of death. Then, by the corner of her eye, she saw Raski and Dimo arguing over who should kill Ebony because they have forgotten. Anzu knew their arguing would last awhile and this gave her a chance to come up with something to get herself and Ebony out of the place.
Anzu search for something to untie herself from the ropes on her wrist. She scan the area for a sharp object and almost gave up until her eyes landed on a knife that one of the men must have drop. She looks at the two men and crawls to the other side of the narrow alley. She didn’t crawl too quick or too slow but enough to be unnoticeable. She turns again and they were still arguing about God knows what as she continues her movement. Anzu was almost to the knife until Dimo turns towards her direction as she remind frozen. He then turns around thinking he was seeing things and continues to talk to Raski. She let out a relief sigh and move in on the knife.
She did not know how she was going to untie herself from the ropes. She then had an idea and laid on her side and uses her tied hands to get the knife and put it under the ropes. She struggled at first as she fail several times until her hands landed on the sharp point. Anzu hiss between her teeth as the pain went though her spine. She didn’t want the men to hear her so she bit on her tongue as her fingers slide the knife under the ropes. A tear came down her eye as the pain shot up to her spine and her tongue became numb for biting it. It was awhile before the knife is under the rope and started to cut it. Some of the knife cut her wrist but mot to deeply as she continues to cut her way to freedom. It hurts like hell but she had to keep it up before they turns around again. A little bit more. - She thought to herself as the knife cut though one last rope and her hands were free. Although her hands hurts, at least they were free from the ropes. She unties her ankles and went back to where Ebony is. Anzu also took the knife and hid it in her skirt pocket, in case she is in trouble.
Anyway, she went to Ebony and use the knife to undo her cuffs her hands. She had to do it quickly in order to get the hell out of there before they decided to end the argument and kill them both. Before she got done, Anzu saw Romeo coming towards the two men. He did not seem pleased and wanted to know what is going on. He asks the two gentlemen,
“What the hell is going on? You were supposed to kill that little slut a while ago. Now what’s takin’ y’all so long? Cuz we don’t have all night?”
“Dimo forgot he is gonna kill the brunette girl and I suppose to kill the mix looking bitch!” Raski said simple.
“Hell no, Ras! You suppose to kill the brunette bitch and I kill the mix looking nigga.” Dimo said back as the two men got into it again. Romeo just shook his head and yells,
“Will y’all shut the fuck up!? Raski is right, you are going to kill the brunette bitch and Raski is going to kill that girl’s sister. So get to it!”
They follows his order and Raski pulls out his knife and came towards the girls. He held out his knife when he discovered the girls are gone. He almost fell back when Romeo yells out,
“What is taking you so long? Kill the bitch!”
“I can’t cuz the girls are gone!” he yells out as the two men came to Raski.
They couldn’t believe the girls got away from their watch. They search for the girls all over the alley until Dimo saw Anzu running up the road with Ebony on her back. Dimo cuss under his breath and told the men that he has found them. He yells out,
“There they are! Let’s go get’em!” he points at them running.
Anzu heard what Dimo said and she started to run faster as the men came after her. She already pick the lock on the handcuffs and decided to take the chance by running without them noticing they were gone. She became tried but had to keep on running before the men catch up with her. If she hasn’t had Ebony on her back, it would be a lot easier but Ebony is injured and too weak to run on her own. So Anzu kept on running as her legs almost gave-up on her and the three men are right behind her. She started to speed up until she saw the local subway station and it is the only way to escape the hands of death. Anzu held on to Ebony as she went down the stairs quickly to catch the subway before it leaves. Little does she knows, Romeo and the rest of the henchmen have seen her going in the subway station and they followed her down there.
The subway station was crowded with tourist, everyday people, and the people of the nightclubs going in and out of the station. The three men were pushing people from left and right as they search for the two girls in the crowd. Anzu, who is tired from running and holding Ebony, waited nervously as the subway passes the platform with intensive speed. Then the woman on the intercom spoke, announcing that the subway will enter in less then a minute. Anzu let out a sigh as she waited for the subway to stop in front of her. As the subway is slowing up, Romeo saw them and told his men to stay guarded as he orders them to hide their guns. They walk towards her quickly as she enters the subway with Ebony on her back; however, they miss her by an inch as the doors closes behind them.
Anzu thought she was safe and that she has lost them in the crowd. She sat Ebony on the sit, took her jacket off and gave it to her. She then sat beside her as they rested from the long run. Everyone seems to be laughing and talking as the subway drove pass platforms and other standing and waiting people. Anzu tires to figure out if she should go to the police or take Ebony to the hospital. The hospital was four more subway stops and the police station is the next stop, but Ebony needed medical help, badly. As she thought, Ebony wakes from her coma state and looks around the place. She tries to realize she wasn’t on the ground anymore but on a subway. She looks to her left and see Anzu in a deep thought but didn’t see her sister. She begins to worry as Anzu took notice she is a wake.
“Where am I? What the hell happen to Sassy? Why are we on the subway?” Ebony asks in a faint voice as she searches for an answer.
Anzu did not know how to explain it to Ebony but it had to be brief. She was ready to explain until she saw a black man with a bandana on his head and wearing a black suit. Then she saw tow white men, one with sunglasses, the other with amber hair and they were wearing black. Anzu knew it was the henchmen and they have found them on the subway. Anzu shook her head as she tires to come up with something.
“Darn!” she hiss and turns toward Ebony, “Ebony, are you well enough to run the rest of the way?” she asked.
“I…don’t know. Why?” she asks before she saw the men in black coming towards them. Anzu nodded to Ebony.
“That’s why. So can you?”
“I’ll try,” Ebony answers as Anzu grabs her hand leads her though the crowd of people on the bus.
Romeo, the black one, spotted them running and told the men,
“Dey are over there! This fucking time we will kill those bitches at once! No doubt about it.”
Then the men went after them with ambitions in their hearts and the lust to kill the girls. Anzu and Ebony did not look back and run as fast as they could though the crowd. As the subway drive though the shallow tunnels, Ebony accidentally look back, trip over an old lady’s purse and fell to the pack subway. Anzu almost fell but caught her balance as Romeo dive closer to the young ladies. He pulls out his gun, ready to take aim on Anzu’s forehead. Anzu saw the terror coming and she high-kick him in the chest, which force him to fall back on Raski and Dimo. She took Ebony’s hand and started to run for the exit.
The subway was slowing up as Anzu headed for the exit. She had to push a lot of people and held on to the girl hand in order to get out of the cart. Then the subway went to a complete stop and the doors open. Anzu and Ebony were the first once off the subway and headed for the stairs. Although, they did not make it to the hospital, at least they were five or so blocks from Yugi’s house. Anyway, they ran to the stairway until Raski (with the amber hair) grabs Ebony on her neck and pull her close to him. Anzu looks back and saw Raski pulling Ebony’s weak body towards his own. Ebony tries to get away form him but she felt useless and stop fighting it. Anzu came towards him and tries to get Ebony away form him until he punch her in the stomach and pulls her by the waist. Anzu would not allow him to have the pleasure to take her by force. She pushes, screams, and stitches him to avoid his resistances. Raski kept on dragging them to a seclude place, so anyone would not see them. Then Raski said to them,
“You girls thought we will never find you here. Well, you were wrong and I think Giovanni will be pleased to hear we have killed you bitches for good! Have a pleasant trip to hell!”
Anzu was about to give up until she thought about the knife in her skirt pocket. She forgot she had in there and decided this is the chance to get both them free from the man’s grip. As he drags them to the crowd less area, Anzu pulls out the knife and stabs him on the side. He yells in pain as he drops ebony to the ground and release Anzu as he held on to his bleeding side. Anzu went for Ebony as she drops the knife and ran until Dimo slaps her before making it to her friend’s sister. Dimo pulls out his gun, picks up Ebony, and pointed at Anzu as he smirked. She sat up as she watch helpless towards Dimo.
“Heh…heh…heh…Raski may be dying but I won’t waste this time watching over him. Now, it is time to die. Any last words, baby?” he spoke deviously as he points his gun at her.
Tea smiled and answered,
“Go to hell you snake!” then kick him in the balls.
He accidentally shot up in the air and fell on the pavement as Ebony almost fell again. Lucky, Anzu caught Ebony and ran out of the subway station as Dimo started to recover and Raski struggling to get Dimo up. She ran up the stairs and saw a huge crowd of people at central Domino City. Anzu knew she and Ebony could blend in and so they did, getting in the busy crowd.
Raski and Dimo came up the stairs and tries to see them in the crowd. Raski soon spotted Anzu as she carries Ebony without looking behind her. Raski, who shirt have blood all over it, told Dimo and started to follow them. They had their guns ready as they push and shrove everyone in their path to get to them. Suddenly as they walk thought the crowd, it was beginning to lessen. Dimo and Raski thought they were getting closer to the girls until the men found out they were in the middle of the street. They look around until they saw Anzu going up the street and Raski heard a noise. Raski turns around as Dimo kept watching the girls running to freedom. Before they could get out of the way, a huge truck hit both of the men, ending their life. Blood and gusts were all over the place as policemen rush into the crime scene. Anzu saw what happened to the two men before she left the scene and headed to Yugi’s house.
Chapter IX: The Kidnap
After leaving the park, the two girls went to the mall and did some shopping to forget about you know whom. Then catch the four o’clock movie to see The Devil‘s Rejects. As the movie ended, they saw two fine-looking men who came near them and started to have an interesting conversation. They laugh, talk, exchanges numbers, and said their good-byes to the men they have just met. Although the numbers Salonda and Anzu gave the men were fake, at least they had a good time with them. As they left the movie theater, it was hard for them not to look behind their shoulders to see if anyone is following them home. Yet at the same time, laughing about a dumb-looking clown with bad breath following them with no care in the world. It is 7:30 and their laugher echoes in the crowd less streets of the dark night sky.
Salonda never have felt happy and outgoing since she awoke from the coma three months and two weeks ago. It was a good thing her friend, Anzu, was at the train station and for seeing Kaiba with Megamai at the park. Although Kaiba hurts Salonda by dumping her for Megamai and kiss the girl to prove he have forgotten about her, she still loves him. Even when she was talking to a man name Andrew from the movies, she thought about Kaiba. Salonda hated feeling the way she does for Kaiba but couldn’t help it any longer. At that moment, she is rethinking of her plan to move on with her life and to get the boy she loves back. Yet, she didn’t want to think on it too much because she was having too much fun. She is glad she didn’t go back to her apartment and be mourning over what happen to her three months ago and for her broken relationship. It was time for a little break for all the drama she been having.
However, as they walked pass the alley, a terrible feeling came over Salonda’s spine. This feeling made her stop in her tracks as Anzu kept walking up the street. Salonda felt a presence somewhere, waiting to attack her and Anzu. The invisible darkness came around her as she felt nervous and frivolous. This feeling was like a spirit came though her body with evil intentions. Soon the feeling turns to fear that overcame and smutted her. This fears that someone from her past is following them when they were at the mall, movies, and probably when they were at the park. Now the presence is somewhere near them and Salonda feared that it is Giovanni that is doing this. Yet, he is dead and he could not be putting fear into Salonda‘s soul. Then again, what if he is alive? What if he is following them to get what he wanted? She knows that Giovanni want is her necklace, her ex-boyfriend’s company, and the Sennen Puzzle but she doesn’t know what he wants with these items. All she knows now is Anzu, herself, and everyone involve with her life is I danger, including Kaiba’s life. Still she prays to God that it is not he, everything will be all right, and Giovanni is dead.
It was a while before Anzu notice Salonda wasn’t by her side. She turns around and sees Salonda looking like a zombie or if she just seen death as her eyes stare at something really hard. She came towards Salonda, as the fear grew intense for Salonda to stand as her necklace started to glow. Its glow is light purple as she almost went unconscious, falling to the ground until Anzu caught her. Salonda felt weak as her life was going out of her body. Anzu calls out her name to wake her up from this “weak spell”. It was a while before Salonda awoke from the trance, got out of Anzu arms, and looks around the area. She is still at the street and realized she had freak out in front of her friend. Salonda looks at Anzu and knew she was concern about her. Salonda had to explains herself as Anzu asked,
“What is wrong, Salonda? One minute you was laughing and enjoying yourself, the next minute you suddenly vanish. Soon I found you almost unconscious and falling to the ground. Are you feeling alright?”
Salonda didn’t want to put her into danger or tell her about the feeling she had a few minutes ago. Therefore she had to tell Anzu a lied until she can confirm the presence she felt is just an illusion in her mind. She gave her a disarming expression and answered,
“Nothin’ wrong, Anzu. I thought I saw that clown in the alley and I almost faint with fright. Don’t worry about me, I will be fine. Besides what did you thought I was doing? You thought I was thinking or have seen Kaiba with Miss Thing? Don’t worry I am not thinking of him.”
Anzu let out a sigh after hearing Salonda’s answer. This have lessen her suspicious but not completely. She is glad Salonda is not thinking about Kaiba but has a feeling that Salonda is not telling her everything. However, she didn’t want to ask Salonda at the time and decided to leave it alone. The main idea is Salonda is all right and was not thinking about him. Anzu folded her arms and gave Salonda a relief look.
“Are you sure? Because I don’t want to see you mourn over him. He is with Megamai and there is no use to hold on to this creep. Kaiba made his bed and lying in it,” she responds to Salonda.
“I know, I am not going to waste my time thinking about him,” Salonda lied as she still thought about him and the feeling. By then, he necklace stops glowing and the feeling have not left her alone. She felt weak but not like the one she felt a few minutes ago. Yet, she ignores the feeling as she pulls out her cellphone to see who has called her during the movies. She checked her voice mail first as she scrolls down a group of names that called her. She was almost done until she saw Kaiba’s cellphone number and name on her phone. She could not believe Kaiba left a message on her phone because he usually never leave message on ANYONE phone. Besides, why would he leave a message on her phone?
Probably want to curse me out and to tell me he should have been left me, or it could have been Megamai calling on his celly to tell me that Kaiba is her man. All I need is a racist bitch to try to ruin my night with her bullshit but I won’t allow it. She can have him…over my dead body. -She thought as she looks over her shoulder and see Anzu looking at the name, too. Salonda smirked and teased,
“Getting into my business ain’t we, Miss Noisy? By the way you’re looking, you want to know why he called, too.”
“Not really, but I can’t believe he called you, though. Knowing him, he might want to tell you he’s happy with the tramp. If I were you, I would just delete his name on the phone,” Anzu said hatefully as Salonda rolls her eyes and press on his name to hear the message. As soon as the message begins to play, Salonda’s eyes soften as a message hit a core in her heart. Anzu heard it too and couldn’t believe what she is hearing.
“Salonda, this is Seto. I am sorry for ever hurting you by being with Megamai. I wanted to prove to you that I too have moved on and to make you jealous. But inside I haven’t succeeded and in result, I have hurt you. Look, I am not good at this so I’m just going to straight out tell you. I love you, Salonda Takashi and I want you back. If you don’t want to see me again then I’ll understand.”
When the message was over, Salonda became speechless and happy to hear those words from Kaiba. She knows that Seto still loves her and want her back in his life. She could not believe he actually apologize to her for hurting and breaking her heart by being with Megamai. Salonda knows he can be a jackass but she never knew he was trying to make her jealous by being with a racist bitch like Megamai. Yet, Kaiba did succeeded by making her jealous for a change and Salonda did not like feeling envious. Salonda is glad he was not interesting in Megamai and only want to be with her. She knows she want to be with him and want to tell him he is a jackass and that she loves him too.
Salonda looks at Anzu and could tell she is astonished too, to hear those three words from him. She soon shut the phone up as a new thought appears in her mind. He does love me, that good-for-nothing bastard! He better be lucky that I haven’t given the guy from the movies my real number.
“That was the nicest thing Kaiba have ever said to anyone. I didn’t even know he can be so…sweet,” Anzu said to Salonda.
Salonda responded,
“That’s not the only thing he ever said, sweetly. He never shows this side to anyone but only to me and his little brother.”
Anzu didn’t say a word but only went to her thoughts. She never heard anything like that from Kaiba and thought he was just cold-hearted to the bone. She also never thought he would love another human being other then his brother. Till this day, she doesn’t know why Salonda fell for him but she knew this has to be true love. This comes to show that even he can find love. -She thought before a hand cover her mouth and drags her to the alley.
Soon the streetlights went out as Salonda suddenly realized it and search for Anzu. She did not see her anywhere. Salonda started to breathe faster and deeper as she calls out her friend's name. It was pitch black and the feeling grew stronger as her necklace started to glow again. She calls out Anzu’s name again and hopes she can get a respond form her. She wanted Anzu to be all right, that Giovanni is dead, hopes she is not in a trap. She tries to see if Anzu is in the alley but it was too hard to tell. Salonda calls out Anzu’s name until a man hit her with a baseball bat. Salonda blacks out as she fell to the ground and her cellphone fell from her hands. Then two men in black suits came towards her body, grab her, and take her to the depths of the alley. The man who hit her with a baseball bat saw her cellphone and picks it up. He presses on Kaiba’s name and heard the message. He soon drops the phone and steps on it to pieces.
It was awhile when Salonda awoke from her deep dreams and could see clearly. She realizes that she is at a disgusting and rat-infected alley with her arms tied behind her back. Then she saw two men holding her on each arm. Salonda saw Anzu and she could tell Anzu is too tied by the wrist and her ankles. She did not know what these men want with them but had a bad feeling that it was not for good reasons. Salonda looks at the men again and knew they were the boys they met at the movies, which started to creep her out more. She tries to calm down and focus to find a way out until she saw him.
He had a white neat-cut hair and grayish-green eyes that shows evil and destruction to make his face appears dangerous. He is very pale like a vampire, long nails like a wolf, and a huge scar on his left cheek to mark his cold army past. He wore his favorite gray trench coat, a thick black turtleneck, and green casual pant. He smirked evilly to Salonda as he points his cane at the two men and order them to bring her near him. They did as they were commended and forcefully drag her to the devil himself.
The man grins as Salonda came closer to him. When she finally came near him, he took her in his arms and smell the raspberry and cinnamon favor of her skin. Salonda wanted this jerk to get away from her but he only kisses her. He kisses her fully on the mouth, trying to get his wrinkled tongue in her throat to satisfied his evil urges. His hands travel all over her body until they landed on her behind. Salonda tries to stop him but he uses his tongue as a gag so she would reject his protestation. Then, out of nowhere, Salonda bite on his tongue, heavily. He pulls out and smacks Salonda cross her face as he felt the pain and numbness of his tongue. She fell to the ground because the men were ordered to let her go. The man wipes the blood away from his lips and grabs Salonda by the shirt from the ground. He pulls her to his eye-level as Anzu grasps, fearing he is going to kill Salonda for her acts. However, he only grins and touches her face softly and gently.
“You haven’t changed a bit the last time I’ve saw your face. You still have that ambition to go against my conspicuous plan, and still look beautiful and exotic as ever,” then he looks at Anzu, “Your friend looks stunning as well, Ms. Salonda Takashi.” he added as he licks his redden lips at Anzu. Anzu wanted to back away from this creepy man, but is tied up.
Salonda frowns at him and rudely said,
“I wish I can say the same to you, Mr. Saito Giovanni. But I guess you have change from a fucking pervert to a sick old fuck.”
Giovanni wanted to smack her again but kept his cool. If he hit Salonda again then she would not tell him about the password or give him her necklace. Therefore he had to keep his cool or no answer from his favorite person. Salonda could sense that this is the first time Anzu have seen Giovanni. To her understanding, he is the man who destroyed everyone lives and is the devil himself. Salonda or Anzu couldn’t believe that Giovanni is still alive, although Kaiba didn’t shot him, Giovanni could have died in the fire on Death Island. Giovanni pulls Salonda closer to him and whispers furiously,
“You should be more nice to I because I have the power to kill you at this time. If I do kill you now, then you and maybe your friend’s death will be on the front page. Perhaps I can leave you and hers corpses on Kaiba’s front porch and let him have the time of his life to mourn over your un-timing death. Therefore be grateful because I have not killed you…yet.”
Salonda did not believe him and added her own comment to his little speech.
“Why should I be more grateful to you? Give me one good reason why I should treat you like a savior sent from the heavens to cleanse all the world form evil? Remember, you rape and beat me until I was almost dead. All I know is I have lost respect towards your sorry ass! “
Giovanni pushes her as his men grads her by the arms. He is already angry and knew his time is running out. Therefore he cut to the chase and responded,
“You are a stupid bitch, you know that and I do not know why Seto ever deal with your kind. However, I do not have that much time to talk to an ingrate like yourself so I will cut it straight to you. I want the Crystal of Osiris around your neck and the password to Kaibacorp. So first, I will…” Giovanni trails off as he touches the necklace and experience a shock though his hand.
The necklace starts to glow and this time Anzu and Giovanni’s henchmen saw the powerful light spreading over the alley and the rest of the city. Giovanni’s hand almost caught on fire as he realizes the full power of the necklace. He never knew it is this powerful and anyone who touches it will die unless they are the chosen one to its power or pure in heart. Luckily, he did not die but the next tine he will not be so full of luck. He jerks his hand away and thought of another way to get the necklace off her neck. He cusses under his breath as Salonda smirked in the recovered dark. Giovanni grabs her neck and starts smacking her until he felt like stopping. Anzu couldn’t believe the necklace had powers and the fact her friend is getting a beat down. She didn’t want to see her friend getting smacks like she is not worth shit.
“Stop it! Leave her alone, you evil bastard!” Anzu yelled out as one man hit her in the stomach and she kneels on the ground in pain.
“Anzu!” Salonda yells as Giovanni turns his attention to her and smiles. He stops smacking Salonda and said,
“I should have told you that if your friend disturb our conversation or my plans, she will die, immediately.”
“You fucking snake!” Salonda hisses at him.
Giovanni just laughs softly as he held on to Salonda, once again.
“Call me whatever you want, my darling. It doesn’t matter to me, anymore. I will get your necklace and the password to KaibaCorp even if I have to hurt you or your love ones to get it. However, let’s forget about the idea and go to part two of my plan. I would love to talk more about it at Obiaba Tower. What do you say, my dear?” he asks as he looks dead into her eyes, like the devil.
Anzu wanted to say no but she would be kill so she kept her mouth shut and prays that Salonda would say no. The intention in the alley grew as Salonda finally gave her answer.
“What if I refuse not to go with you? What will you do to me, then?”
Giovanni sneered.
“Then your sister and your friend will die.”
Sister? -Anzu thought as her eyes went big and suspicious.
Salonda looks at him with grief and shock. She thought she was hearing things and tries to ignore it until she had doubts.
“Sister? No, my sister is on the train to--”
“If you do not believe me then see for yourself. Bring her out, gentlemen!” he soon yells and orders.
The men did what he commanded and brings out Ebony out of the van. Salonda wanted to die when she saw her sister, badly beaten. Giovanni turns Salonda around to see her abuse sister as they bring her out. Ebony’s face has bruises and blood is coming out of her mouth, cheeks, and from her noise. Her clothes are tore as her skirt is reduce to bloody panties, her shirt is missing buttons but has blood on it too. Ebony’s jewelry is missing and all over her body has cuts, bruises, teeth marks on her arms, and sweat mix with blood lays on her dark purple hair. It is a deep line that cross her abdomen and another across her bloody chest. She is also hand cuffed as the men carries her weak body and puts it in front of everyone. Anzu became terrified as she knew what Giovanni is capable of doing. She felt sick as she smell the blood and piss on Ebony’s young body. Salonda almost fainted but Giovanni held on to her and laughs at the situation like it is a circus. Salonda cries out,
“EBONY! Oh my God, Ebony!” Salonda had tears in her eyes as she saw her sister in this state.
Ebony looks up and tries to gave a smile but she cough up blood before she ever had the chance. Salonda takes to be brave for her little sister but could not hold back her tears. Ebony looks directly at Salonda and whisper imperceptibly,
“Sal…onda…I…told…you he…d…d…don’…want to…see…see…me. I…’m…just…a…bastrad baby…to…to…” then she pass out before she finish her sentence.
Salonda wanted to kill Giovanni for the wrongdoing he had did to Ebony. She wanted to respond to her sister but was too disturb to even open her mouth. Yet, she turns and look straight into Giovanni evil eyes of hatred. How can he lives with himself every night. How can a man like this survives every close call to death and still be this cold as stone. He is not even human for the crimes he have did! He IS the devil himself and more colder than Seto. -She thought before she opens her mouth to the devil.
“Why did you do this to a helpless teenage, you bastard! She haven’t done anything to you and you know it! Why, GD?! Why?!”
Giovanni just sneered again as he grips on her arms more intensely. Salonda let out a moan as he gave her his disturbing answer.
“Because she is the only way to get an answer from you, Salonda. She is the only thing, besides your ex-boyfriend and friends, I can use against you.”
“So the train and calling Mama Dee were…planed?” Salonda said the last word with fear and a knot came between her vocal to prevent her from saying more. Giovanni laughs somberly as her continues his answer.
“Yes, it was. You see, the only thing to get Ebony away from you is to make it believable that her father want to see his illegitimate child. Of course, Mama Dee would love for grandchild to see her father because of ‘faith’. Therefore, I got one of my men to follow Mama Dee around Kyoto, found out information about where Ebony is at, get little know facts about Ebony’s father, and get a conman to disguise himself as an everyday African Japanese man to fool her. Then we set up the train to Tokyo so it would seem like she is going to meet her father. As soon as the train starts, we grab your sister, took her off her train ride, and drag her into the van. It was prodigious to see your sister getting beaten up and sexual assaulted by all my men. To see her blood busting out of her little juicy mouth and to kiss…”
“Shut-up! No more! Let her go! Let my sister go…you son ova bitch…” Salonda cries out as tears came rolling out of her eyes to her cheeks. Giovanni just shock his head and grins.
“I’m afraid not. Either you come with me or…” he snaps his finger as a man came behind Ebony and kicks her in the back. Salonda and Anzu grasp at the same time as the beating continues.
Soon another man drags Ebony off the ground and held her up so the man who just kick her can beat her down. He hit her in the face twice and hit her in the stomach. The man pulls out his knife and cuts her revealing breast. He did not cut it off but a bust of blood came out of her damaged skin. Ebony let out a moan as he drags the knife to her belly button and stabs her. He high-kick her in the ribs and here the cut is at. He continues to torture her as the third man came with a whip and starts to leach at her as the who kick her took a rest. Salonda watches in silence as she wanted to die for not helping her almost dead sister. She just shock her head and tries to close her eyes as Giovanni forcefully held up her head to see the man slaying.
Anzu got angry as she watches her friend’s sister being murder in front of her eyes. She wanted to break free and beat the hell out of those men, especially Giovanni for allowing this. This is torture for Anzu and she couldn’t keep her mouth shut any longer. She yells out,
“You cold-hearted bastard, using Ebony for you sick games and torturing her and us to show off your ’power’. Guess what, that don’t make you a powerful, intellect man but a fucking coward! You should be ashamed of yourself for doing this crime!”
“Anzu, please shut-up. You just gonna put yourself in more danger!” Salonda said faintly as she tries not to look up. Anzu kept on talking.
“No, because I’m already in more danger and what’s the use!” then she looks at Giovanni again. “You should rot in hell with Satan! I hope the police will find you and lock you up for life or let you die!”
Giovanni laughs like an insane man ready to meet his maker at Anzu cries. His laugher echoes throughout the alley, which made Salonda hush. He let Salonda go as she kneels on the ground and cries to the heavens. Soon Salonda agrees to Giovanni request as she looks down to the ground.
“Yes, I will go with you! Please, don’t hurt Anzu or Ebony and I will go!”
Giovanni orders his henchman to let Ebony go and to get Salonda off the dirty ground. Ebony fell on the hard dirt as her helpless body did not more. The men picks up Salonda and was about to leave until Giovanni holds up his hand, to tell the me to stop. He smirked in the shadows as he finally said his peace.
“Good choice, my dear. Men, take Salonda to the van and make her feel comfortable,” then he looks at Anzu and continues, “Since your friend could not keep her mouth shut, kill her and Ms. Ebony.” he said finally.
Salonda eyes went moist as they took her to the van. Anzu sent a dead glace at Giovanni and shouted,
“You said you wouldn’t hurt us!”
“I said that but I didn’t say I wouldn’t kill you all but I guess that what happens when you couldn’t keep your mouth shut. Raski, kill Ebony by stabbing her a like bit more and make sure the other girl watches. Dimo, after Raski is finish with the little girl, overdose this talkative bitch with heroine in her blood stream. Romeo make sure the boys do their job; and when those girls are dead, cut their heads off and sent them to a Yugi Muto residents. This should make him come out play my little game.” then he left in the shadows.
Anzu cuss under her breath before Romeo took her and place her against the cold brick building. He also grads Ebony off the ground and place her several inches away from her. Then he went out of the alley and made sure anyone is not coming the alley and that Giovanni’s van is on its way to the tower. Anzu did not say a word but only went to her thoughts. She couldn’t believe she finally met and seen the man who cost Salonda grief. She thought, like everyone else, that he have died in the fire but he prove them wrong. Anzu did not want any of her friends or herself to die by the hands of Giovanni. She soon figure out why Salonda seem to be worried and why she almost passing out on the sidewalks. Anzu had to do something to save herself and Ebony’s life from danger or the hands of death. Then, by the corner of her eye, she saw Raski and Dimo arguing over who should kill Ebony because they have forgotten. Anzu knew their arguing would last awhile and this gave her a chance to come up with something to get herself and Ebony out of the place.
Anzu search for something to untie herself from the ropes on her wrist. She scan the area for a sharp object and almost gave up until her eyes landed on a knife that one of the men must have drop. She looks at the two men and crawls to the other side of the narrow alley. She didn’t crawl too quick or too slow but enough to be unnoticeable. She turns again and they were still arguing about God knows what as she continues her movement. Anzu was almost to the knife until Dimo turns towards her direction as she remind frozen. He then turns around thinking he was seeing things and continues to talk to Raski. She let out a relief sigh and move in on the knife.
She did not know how she was going to untie herself from the ropes. She then had an idea and laid on her side and uses her tied hands to get the knife and put it under the ropes. She struggled at first as she fail several times until her hands landed on the sharp point. Anzu hiss between her teeth as the pain went though her spine. She didn’t want the men to hear her so she bit on her tongue as her fingers slide the knife under the ropes. A tear came down her eye as the pain shot up to her spine and her tongue became numb for biting it. It was awhile before the knife is under the rope and started to cut it. Some of the knife cut her wrist but mot to deeply as she continues to cut her way to freedom. It hurts like hell but she had to keep it up before they turns around again. A little bit more. - She thought to herself as the knife cut though one last rope and her hands were free. Although her hands hurts, at least they were free from the ropes. She unties her ankles and went back to where Ebony is. Anzu also took the knife and hid it in her skirt pocket, in case she is in trouble.
Anyway, she went to Ebony and use the knife to undo her cuffs her hands. She had to do it quickly in order to get the hell out of there before they decided to end the argument and kill them both. Before she got done, Anzu saw Romeo coming towards the two men. He did not seem pleased and wanted to know what is going on. He asks the two gentlemen,
“What the hell is going on? You were supposed to kill that little slut a while ago. Now what’s takin’ y’all so long? Cuz we don’t have all night?”
“Dimo forgot he is gonna kill the brunette girl and I suppose to kill the mix looking bitch!” Raski said simple.
“Hell no, Ras! You suppose to kill the brunette bitch and I kill the mix looking nigga.” Dimo said back as the two men got into it again. Romeo just shook his head and yells,
“Will y’all shut the fuck up!? Raski is right, you are going to kill the brunette bitch and Raski is going to kill that girl’s sister. So get to it!”
They follows his order and Raski pulls out his knife and came towards the girls. He held out his knife when he discovered the girls are gone. He almost fell back when Romeo yells out,
“What is taking you so long? Kill the bitch!”
“I can’t cuz the girls are gone!” he yells out as the two men came to Raski.
They couldn’t believe the girls got away from their watch. They search for the girls all over the alley until Dimo saw Anzu running up the road with Ebony on her back. Dimo cuss under his breath and told the men that he has found them. He yells out,
“There they are! Let’s go get’em!” he points at them running.
Anzu heard what Dimo said and she started to run faster as the men came after her. She already pick the lock on the handcuffs and decided to take the chance by running without them noticing they were gone. She became tried but had to keep on running before the men catch up with her. If she hasn’t had Ebony on her back, it would be a lot easier but Ebony is injured and too weak to run on her own. So Anzu kept on running as her legs almost gave-up on her and the three men are right behind her. She started to speed up until she saw the local subway station and it is the only way to escape the hands of death. Anzu held on to Ebony as she went down the stairs quickly to catch the subway before it leaves. Little does she knows, Romeo and the rest of the henchmen have seen her going in the subway station and they followed her down there.
The subway station was crowded with tourist, everyday people, and the people of the nightclubs going in and out of the station. The three men were pushing people from left and right as they search for the two girls in the crowd. Anzu, who is tired from running and holding Ebony, waited nervously as the subway passes the platform with intensive speed. Then the woman on the intercom spoke, announcing that the subway will enter in less then a minute. Anzu let out a sigh as she waited for the subway to stop in front of her. As the subway is slowing up, Romeo saw them and told his men to stay guarded as he orders them to hide their guns. They walk towards her quickly as she enters the subway with Ebony on her back; however, they miss her by an inch as the doors closes behind them.
Anzu thought she was safe and that she has lost them in the crowd. She sat Ebony on the sit, took her jacket off and gave it to her. She then sat beside her as they rested from the long run. Everyone seems to be laughing and talking as the subway drove pass platforms and other standing and waiting people. Anzu tires to figure out if she should go to the police or take Ebony to the hospital. The hospital was four more subway stops and the police station is the next stop, but Ebony needed medical help, badly. As she thought, Ebony wakes from her coma state and looks around the place. She tries to realize she wasn’t on the ground anymore but on a subway. She looks to her left and see Anzu in a deep thought but didn’t see her sister. She begins to worry as Anzu took notice she is a wake.
“Where am I? What the hell happen to Sassy? Why are we on the subway?” Ebony asks in a faint voice as she searches for an answer.
Anzu did not know how to explain it to Ebony but it had to be brief. She was ready to explain until she saw a black man with a bandana on his head and wearing a black suit. Then she saw tow white men, one with sunglasses, the other with amber hair and they were wearing black. Anzu knew it was the henchmen and they have found them on the subway. Anzu shook her head as she tires to come up with something.
“Darn!” she hiss and turns toward Ebony, “Ebony, are you well enough to run the rest of the way?” she asked.
“I…don’t know. Why?” she asks before she saw the men in black coming towards them. Anzu nodded to Ebony.
“That’s why. So can you?”
“I’ll try,” Ebony answers as Anzu grabs her hand leads her though the crowd of people on the bus.
Romeo, the black one, spotted them running and told the men,
“Dey are over there! This fucking time we will kill those bitches at once! No doubt about it.”
Then the men went after them with ambitions in their hearts and the lust to kill the girls. Anzu and Ebony did not look back and run as fast as they could though the crowd. As the subway drive though the shallow tunnels, Ebony accidentally look back, trip over an old lady’s purse and fell to the pack subway. Anzu almost fell but caught her balance as Romeo dive closer to the young ladies. He pulls out his gun, ready to take aim on Anzu’s forehead. Anzu saw the terror coming and she high-kick him in the chest, which force him to fall back on Raski and Dimo. She took Ebony’s hand and started to run for the exit.
The subway was slowing up as Anzu headed for the exit. She had to push a lot of people and held on to the girl hand in order to get out of the cart. Then the subway went to a complete stop and the doors open. Anzu and Ebony were the first once off the subway and headed for the stairs. Although, they did not make it to the hospital, at least they were five or so blocks from Yugi’s house. Anyway, they ran to the stairway until Raski (with the amber hair) grabs Ebony on her neck and pull her close to him. Anzu looks back and saw Raski pulling Ebony’s weak body towards his own. Ebony tries to get away form him but she felt useless and stop fighting it. Anzu came towards him and tries to get Ebony away form him until he punch her in the stomach and pulls her by the waist. Anzu would not allow him to have the pleasure to take her by force. She pushes, screams, and stitches him to avoid his resistances. Raski kept on dragging them to a seclude place, so anyone would not see them. Then Raski said to them,
“You girls thought we will never find you here. Well, you were wrong and I think Giovanni will be pleased to hear we have killed you bitches for good! Have a pleasant trip to hell!”
Anzu was about to give up until she thought about the knife in her skirt pocket. She forgot she had in there and decided this is the chance to get both them free from the man’s grip. As he drags them to the crowd less area, Anzu pulls out the knife and stabs him on the side. He yells in pain as he drops ebony to the ground and release Anzu as he held on to his bleeding side. Anzu went for Ebony as she drops the knife and ran until Dimo slaps her before making it to her friend’s sister. Dimo pulls out his gun, picks up Ebony, and pointed at Anzu as he smirked. She sat up as she watch helpless towards Dimo.
“Heh…heh…heh…Raski may be dying but I won’t waste this time watching over him. Now, it is time to die. Any last words, baby?” he spoke deviously as he points his gun at her.
Tea smiled and answered,
“Go to hell you snake!” then kick him in the balls.
He accidentally shot up in the air and fell on the pavement as Ebony almost fell again. Lucky, Anzu caught Ebony and ran out of the subway station as Dimo started to recover and Raski struggling to get Dimo up. She ran up the stairs and saw a huge crowd of people at central Domino City. Anzu knew she and Ebony could blend in and so they did, getting in the busy crowd.
Raski and Dimo came up the stairs and tries to see them in the crowd. Raski soon spotted Anzu as she carries Ebony without looking behind her. Raski, who shirt have blood all over it, told Dimo and started to follow them. They had their guns ready as they push and shrove everyone in their path to get to them. Suddenly as they walk thought the crowd, it was beginning to lessen. Dimo and Raski thought they were getting closer to the girls until the men found out they were in the middle of the street. They look around until they saw Anzu going up the street and Raski heard a noise. Raski turns around as Dimo kept watching the girls running to freedom. Before they could get out of the way, a huge truck hit both of the men, ending their life. Blood and gusts were all over the place as policemen rush into the crime scene. Anzu saw what happened to the two men before she left the scene and headed to Yugi’s house.
