This is just a little drabble i thought of when i first started reading frostbite.
How long had I been here? I had a cloudy feeling in my head from the sun. I was hidden in the basement, but not sleeping during the day was making me weak. What was my plan again? I couldn't even be sure that it would be him to come for me... But I had to get his attention some how. I rocked back and forth on my heals closing my eyes for a moment. I don't think it would really be so bad for me to just go to sleep for a few minutes.
The moment I closed my eyes and let my breath slow i could hear it. Someone faltered on the ice. My legs slowly pushed me up from my crouched position on the floor. I could barely make out the muffled voices there was definitely a man out there. What were the chances that it would be him? I cocked my head in confusion as I heard someone get back in the car. That was rather odd, why would one of them stay behind.
I carefully stretched my foot out and took my first step up the stairs. The sounds of shuffling foot steps and deadly blows echoed down the narrow stairwell. I felt my lips involuntarily curl into a smile and a small chuckle was let out involuntarily. I put my had to my lips to try and deaden the sound before it could escape, but it was moments too late. Standing still in the middle stair case I held my breath as i listened and waited.
There he was standing at the top of the stairs jaw stiff as he cursed in russian. I looked up at him threw my eye lashes with the sweetest of smiles plastered on my face. I really couldn't help it, "Hello, I'm oh so sorry."
"Sorry? Wha..." he looked down trying to clutch at and grab the wires that had just shot from the device in my hands out at his stomach and were now shooting enough electricity through it to down a large mountain lion.
I cringed seeing the look on his face, "Sorry, but that is completely necessary."
It took only a few minutes for him to come to, luckily for me that's all it took to have him bound to the wall with the chains that had been secure days ago. His eyes opened as alert as ever before. I couldn't keep the smile off my face, "Please don't be angry. I just didn..." I cocked my head as I heard someone enter the back of the house, "Oh, right. That must be your partner. Can't wait to meet him. I'll bring him down in a few..." I looked over my shoulder as I walked up the stairs, "Maybe"
I could here him trying to shout around the makeshift gag that was shoved in his mouth and secured with a belt. I put a delicate finger to my lips, as a signal for silence, before walking the rest of the way up the stairs.
I was slightly surprised to find out that his partner was in fact a girl. Not just a girl, but a novice. What had he been doing with a novice? She looked around shocked at the pure destruction she saw before her. This was going to be easier than i thought. I forced tears to well up in my eyes and quickly made deep scratches randomly over my arms and neck. I put my hands to my face and sank to the ground giving a few small sobs. The novice hesitated for a moment and then jumped over the carnage in the porch to get to the wall way where she found me.
"Woah? Are you okay?" She knelt down beside me making sure to look at all the doorways around. "How old are you?"
I let another sob go, "Shh, I'm almost eighteen. If you are too loud she'll wake up?"
Her tone changed to the tone of a truly great guardian, "Stay here. I'll take care of her." She patted my hand gingerly before carefully creeping down the stairs. She was really remarkable, but not as quiet as me. I followed her down the stairs without a sound. When she got down to where Dimitri hung off the wall, "Oh, what the fff..."
I pulled my fist back to punch her right in the back of the head. She didn't quite go down, but she was dazed enough for me to subdue her into a chair that had been down here for god knows how long. I laughed as she struggled even after I had stepped away, "Wow, by the power of Saint Vladimir she is a feisty one. Don't get the dust all over your nice clothes dear, the less you move the better off they will be."
I looked away from her and to Dimitri with sad eyes, "This has been a long time in the making you know."
"Lady, when I get out of here you are going to be," I muffled her with another make shift gag. Her eyes looked so wide as the piece of concrete from the floor moved to her mouth at my command.
"Hush darling , it's time for mommy and daddy to talk," I turned back to Dimitri, "I mean it wasn't supposed to be like this. At first it was just a joke to amuse myself with, as I counted the days, waiting for you to come for me. Then it was small operation. Just a hope that you would get called to a small scene in an obscure location. But now," I spread may arms indicating everything in the house, "Look at all of this. HELLOOO!" I got very close to him not stopping my movement until our lips almost met. There was a such a pain in his eyes, "I'm sorry, am I upsetting you?" I pulled my arm back and slapped him hard across the face, so hard that he made a grunting noise. I let a small giggle past my thin lips, before whispering in his ear, "Do I have your attention now?"
So what did you think? Please review, because reviews are like puppies and kittens and rainbows and don't forget the unicorns... i love unicorns. Thinking of doing different povs in some chapters, because I do that sometimes... a lot... maybe. Do you want to hear more? no... I can stop it now.
