Chapter 17: Blood

Tony's POV

I groan awake and slowly sit up, I ache all over and the room I'm in is cold and damp.

Spectacular combination.

I hear a whimper and turn my head to see Uen pressed up against the corner of the room we are in.

"Uen," I whisper.

"QUIET," someone orders and I hear the door open right before a foot connects with my ribs and I double up.

"Now, now, is that how we treat guests?" I hear a woman purr and I slowly raise my head to see her.

"Karai," I grunt out.

Uen makes a panicked squeak behind me.

Karai smiles smugly and looks down at me.

"Well met," She purrs, "You must be Antonio…Leonardo's…toy?"

"Husband," I correct stiffly before slowly rising to my feet, trying not to show how badly my body hurts.

She smirks at me and slowly looks me up and down.

"Not bad looking for a queer," she states.

My eyes narrow at the jibe and I grunt in reply.

"Not bad looking yourself bitch," I spit back after I gather some courage and tilt my head up defiantly.

Her nails cut into my cheek as she hits me and I stagger, colliding with a wall as I am thrown off balance.

I straighten myself upright and glare at her.

"What do you want," I hiss.

"Leonardo's head," she replies flatly.

I flinch and feel my eyes widen in shock.

Leo…

"Why?" I hear myself gasp, "You had a truce!"

"He killed my father," she states simply, then turns, crossing her wrists behind her back as she walks over to Uen, who presses herself against the wall in desperation.

"Leave her alone," I grunt out, standing and reaching forward to jerk Karai away.

I end up on the floor and screaming as my arm snaps from her rebuttal.

She glares down at me.

"Stop playing games," she laughs dryly.

I'm not sparing, this is life and death here…

I kick out as she turns back towards Uen and manage to knock her feet out from under her long enough for me to surge to my feet and throw a sloppy punch at her head.

"I said leave her Alone!" I grunt out.

I graze her, but I gasp as something cold slides against my ribs and then…warmth spreads across my shirt.

I barely feel my knees connect with the floor and my gaze lowers to my side.

Blood….its…I'm…I'm bleeding…

"Keep him alive…but…punish him. Bring the girl to my quarters," I hear Karai order as black creeps into my vision.

Uen's eyes are wide and scared as I look at her.

Then…black.
