Chapter 7
Indiana's POV
As I fought the hardess I could to take my body back and save her, I didn't notice the small figure running onto the platform.
I felt my lips turn up into a twisted smile and I felt disgusted with myself. She would die and it would be all because I couldn't fight back. Suddenly the small figure of Short Round himself came running around from behind my body. He then started pulling at my arm tugging me slightly.
"WAKE UP DR. JONES! PLEASE WAKE UP!" I watched in horror as I raise my hand and slapped the nine year old to the ground. He fell, and the look on his face made me want to weep again. He looked hurt, and I understood why. I had no doubt in my mind that I was like his father, seeing as how his was dead. I still remember when my father hit me for the first time across the face, I hadn't deserved it but he still hit me. I had felt betrayed and hurt that he would do such a thing, and here I was doing the exact same thing to the boy I felt was my son. I could still see the chains going down into the pit from my view of Shorty and I felt helpless do anything about it. I had prepared the woman I loved for her death, and hit the boy who had become my son. If that wasn't what you called a monster I don't know what was.
My lips formed that twisted smile and again and from the conor of my eye I saw the bastard himself smiling at me. Mola Ram looked at me with a evil glint in his eyes, and I forced myself to gather the strenght I had left, I pushed against the blackness in my mind, trying to break free of it and take back what was rightfully mine. If I had listened to Shorty when we were at the village this never would have happened.
"Dr. Jones?" Came Shorty's hurt voice, and at the sound of it I fought harder. I watched as Mola ordered the gaurds to grab Short Round, and I pushed harder on the blackness. I watched as Shorty stood quickly and ran. I couldn't see him from where I stood but he was causing somewhat of a comotion. Then I heared one of the men cry out in pain, and I felt myself fill with pride. I saw the chains stop moving and I felt relieved.
Then I felt an odd warmth near my stomache. I felt myself to look down. There Shorty stood, tears streaming down his face, a torch in hand. He looked up at me with sadness. I wonderd for a second what he was going to do then it dawn on me.
"Indy, I love you." Then I watched as he stuck the burning torch into my side. I cried out in pain. The flames licked my skin painfully and I could pratically smell it as I fell to the floor in painful spasmes.
"WAKE UP INDY!" He screamed. I felt the blackness fading, and I almost wept with relief. I shook my head, and I could see the gaurds grabbing him from the corner of my eye. "Wake up Indy!" He called struggling. I blinked, come on. Get yourself together, get your ass up and save him. I turned to look at him and the gaurds.
"Wait!" I pointed at Short Round. "He's mine." I stood and grabbed him roughly. I dragged him over into the pit. I pulled him so he had two feet on the ground and was leaning back into the pit, held up only by my fist clench in his shirt. He looked up with me in fear and dissapointment. He thought it hadn't worked.
"I'm alright kid." I said to him softly, the fear left his face. I looked down into the pit for a second looking down at the cage that held Bella. When I saw her take a breath I knew she was alright. I met Shorty's eyes and winked, telling him silently what I was about to do. I pulled him back quickly and turned him so he was on flat ground and wouldn't fall into the pit. I punched the first guy who came up to me, and I watched from the cornor of my eyes amused as Short Round kicked each man who came his way in the balls. Once all the men were out of the way, I made myself to the wheel that would bring Bella up.
"INDY, look out!" I turned just in time to see Chatter with a knife. I grabbed his wrist and flung the knife out of his hand. I knew I shouldn't have enjoyed it, but when he tried to punch me, I took pleasure in breaking his nose. It knocked him out. I looked back to the wheel to see it going down again. I ran quickly to it.
"SHORTY!" I yelled over the raging cheers. "COME HELP ME WITH THIS!" With his help I managed to get the lever turned the other way, bringing up the cage. I ran over to the pit, and grabbed the cage when it came into view.
"Give me some slack!" I shouted, bringing the cage over to the side. I laid it down on the ground and opened the grates. Her beautiful chocolate eyes were closed and her cheeks flushed from the heat of the pit. I yanked the cuffs that binded her to the cage. I grabbed her into my arms. I waited for several seconds, which felt like hours, for her to show any sigh of life. Dread filled me, I had killed her. I sank to my knees next to the cage in defeat, with her still clutched tightky in my arms.
My eyes never left her beautful face and I felt my heart beat faster when her eyes fluttered. I clung to her tighter waiting with baited breath as she opened her eyes, and they met mine. She looked me over and blushed as she realised my postion. I had a feeling she wasn't really educated when it came to men. I wasn't complaining though, espcially since that ment she hadn't been with many men. I found myself thinking of her with other men, and I was angered by the very thought. There was no question I was a ladies man but she had gotten me wrapped around her little finger and there was nothing I could do about it.
"Indy?" She asked. I nodded my eyes glossing over. She gave a quiet sob and hid her face in my bare chest. I brought my finger to her chin forcing her to look at me, I found my self getting lost in the milk chocolate that was her eyes. I opened my mouth to speak the words she had spoken to me not 10 minutes ago, when I heard the cries of pain from the children in the caverns. I looked to the entrance and realised weren't done yet. So the declaration of my love would have to wait. I stood her still in my arms. I reluctenly let her go when was steady on her feet, not mention Shorty was coming ith my stuff, along with Bella's stuff.
"They have our stuff in room." He said handing Bella her clothes, along with my shirt, whip, and bag. After I was settled into my clothes and other stuff, Shorty and I both turned our back so she could change back into her clothes, instead of the fancy garb she was wearing. When I turned back around she was in her jeans. I smiled at her, and she blushed and smiled back. She seemed a little more timid. I wondered why, I thought about this as we made our way to the cavern.
Sorry I'm stopping! I know you're wondering where Willie is, I'm sorry to say but she jumped into the pit. No! I'm joking, I just saying that because I hate her character because she is too whiny! But anyway she is still alive and she will be in the next chapter. Three more chapters at most so yeah! Then I'll probably be starting the second one!
