CHAPTER 14

"Listen to her boy; you haven't got any business here!" Xavier snarled,

Mark reluctantly stepped back; he would jump in if it called for it. He watched on as she stared Xavier down, she had a determined and angry look in her eyes.

"Shall we?" Lily hissed in anger

Xavier didn't reply, only took three large steps forwards and grabbed her hair harshly as she tried to move around him. She struggled and winced as his grip tightened. "I have waited a long time to have you here like this, under my power" his voice was low and hard

"Bite me" she snapped, her boot clad foot connected with his shin and his grip loosened, she brought her knee to his face and it connected hard. Something she had longed to do.

She rushed past him towards her knives; this would be easier if she had a weapon. He attempts were thwarted as she was yanked back once again by her hair.

"No, no, no little girl" Xavier was laughing "You got me good" he wiped his mouth and looked at the blood on his hand.

Lily screamed as he yanked her back onto the floor and put a boot into her ribs, she hissed as he kicked her again, she scrambled backwards away from him towards the table, if she could get to her knives then maybe she would have a chance. Maybe.

----

Things weren't going well; her chance at getting the knives was once again stopped as a fist connected with her jaw, scraping the right side. Xavier threw her across the room effortlessly and followed to where she lay on the floor amongst smashed glass vases. She was going to be bruised and battered, but she didn't care as long as she beat him.

She slipped a large splinter of glass into her hand and waited for him to approach; as he bent down to grab her hair she thrust her arm towards his face leaving a large gash across his right cheek.

"Xavier, no more!" she spat slicing at him again with the glass his arm started to turn red, the blood staining his crisp white shirt.

She threw left and right fists at him connecting with any where she could, making as big of a dent in his power as possible before he could get the upper hand. She kicked and thrashed landing anything she could; this was her chance, to get the man who had caused so much pain.

----

Xavier was pissed off she had taken him off guard and now he was bleeding, not a good sign. He took a glance at the man across the room, watching with clenched fists and decided to have some fun. He stalked over to Lily and snatched her glass from her hand, he threw it to the floor and placed a firm grip on her upper arms; he bent down and placed a rough hard kiss on her lips.

"So much like your mother" he whispered

Lily felt something snap inside her and she began thrashing in his grip, kicking at him and screaming at him, cuss words spewing from her mouth like they were on a string. Her temper had risen but her attempts to escape his grips were failing miserably; his grip was too tight to escape.

Before anyone could do anything Xavier flew across the room hitting the wall with a dull thud. Mark had a scowl on his face and clenched fists.

"Lily…I couldn't let him do that" he stated as she glared at him

"He has goons, I have mine" her glare softened and she smiled a little as Mark picked Xavier up and dumped him at her feet.

She kicked him so he was on his back and straddled his hips, her fists pounding into him. His chest and face were red and bruised all her pain and fear flowing into each blow. This was her therapy, the end to her pain and suffering, now he was feeling what she had felt years ago.

----

Cara reached the gate and watched as the police pulled up; two got out and came over to her.

"We got a call saying there was a problem at this address" one of the men stated

"Yeah, some guys are here after my friends, there was shouting and banging and we wanted to get you out here before someone got seriously hurt." Cara explained, the cops nodded and returned to talk with the others

They gathered their gear and moved as silently as possible up to the house, they could hear yelling and grunting and small screams coming from inside and picked up their pace.

The lead officer gave the signal to enter and he kicked in the front door, the splintered wood hit the floor with a bang alerting the others to their presence.

----

Mark spun around at the noise, knowing that it would be the police; he raced over to the door trying to stall the police a bit as Lily let her anger out on Xavier.

The police stormed the house moving in and around the house swiftly looking for the intruders and anyone else inside the building. Mark followed the lead officer, who was calling the paramedics, into the living room where Lily was being held by two officers twisting and huffing in anger. She was furious and mark could tell by the look in her eyes.

Xavier was on the floor still, bleeding and cussing as he too was pulled from the floor broken and bloody.

Mark approached the officers and took Lily into his arms and calmed her down, the police standing by watching as the unlikely duo stayed holding each other.

"Sir the medics are here" The lead officer ordered that Xavier be taken out under guard to be looked at and headed over to where Mark and Lily stood.

"The Medics are here, you should get checked over" He suggested to Lily who looked exhausted.

"I'm fine" she replied hazily, she had been running on adrenaline and now she was coming down from it and the pain was hitting her all at once, she felt dizzy and weak. Mark held her tight so she wouldn't fall and escorted her out to the awaiting ambulance to be checked over.

Things were finally sorting out, Soon she would have nothing to worry about but getting back to normal with Mark and the girls…and possibly her job.

Everything was fine…right?
