Chapter 43

The lights where off inside.

The only illumination was from the small light fixtures on the walls that glowed with yellow amber light.

She walked swiftly thought the hallways and down the 2 small steps that lead to the kitchen. She rinsed the wine glasses in the sink and proceded to place them in the dishwasher. Her small bear feet patted on the wooden floor, as she walked around the long breakfast bar and sat on one of the stools next to the kitchen isle that housed the stove.

I watched all of her graceful movements from the door way just waiting for her to either settle herself or notice my unashamed staring. But neither happened, her back was to me, and she fidgeted with the hem of her long dress and from time to time bit her cuticles.

She seamed nervous and contemplative. I didn't want to startle her, so I left the doorway where I was leaning against and quietly walked down the hall to the room I'd been assigned.

As I lay in the soft bed, I thought of her… Marie….. She was beautiful, her soft curves fit perfectly against mine, and her small frame was feminine and strong.

I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even feel the presence in the room.

As a pair of strong hands came down on my body with such force that I didn't even have time to react.

I was beaten and kicked with in an inch of my life. I fought back but he was too strong and had the advantage of surprise and the fact that I had been laying down, totally unaware of any danger.

I felt the pain shoot trough me as his fists connected with my jaw and my eye, then my chest and stomach. He jumped on the bed to finished me off with kicks to my head and stomach and pretty much anywhere that he could reach. I doubled over in pain and also to protect my head and face.

I knew who this was even if I couldn't see anything anyway since the room was completely dark. That staring contest before on the patio was a warning of this and Ivan was now completing his promise.

His territorial warming at dinner and after, had been now concluded.

At some point everything stopped.

The pain.

I felt myself drift away and I could see the bloodied body on the bed, and the dark figure imparting pain.

What stunned me the most was that Ivan was larger than I had seen him, he seamed taller and more muscular, his arms larger.

His fist connected to the body with such force that it feel to the side of the bed. Or I should say I fell to the side of the bed.

Ivan jumped down and before he could kick me again, a small figure wearing a long white dress held out her hand to touch his back.

As her small hand connected with his bear skin, he seamed to stop completely and doubled over in pain. My drifting self looked over as Ivan's body slowly but surely crumbled in dust to the ground.

DUM DUM DUMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
