Chapter Nineteen
Written by: Little Angry Kitten
It's late at night when the screams reach us and I'm pulled roughly out of sleep. There's a second of complete silence. Then another wail and everyone's on their feet.
The image of a bloodied Natalie will never leave my mind.
Dimitri is beside me and I can feel anger oozing out of him. This might be the only time we have something in common. He doesn't stay long, barks some orders to his people and shoos everyone else away.
No one steals from Dimitri and gets away from it.
Chapter Twenty
Written by: Nicia
Something about Natalie's death doesn't seem right, and checking the registers from the night she died doesn't reveal any clues.
Staring out of the window I see Ralph walk by, glancing over his shoulder furtively. He's small, mousy, and one of Natalie's regulars.
And then it hits me.
He was there the night she died.
But his name wasn't on the register.
I don't realize I've moved until my fist is pounding on Dimitri's door. The force of my blows mean I almost fall when the door flies open, and I speak before he can.
"I know who killed her."
Chapter Twenty One
Written by: Little Angry Kitten
Dimitri comes back at the end of my shift covered in blood. It's everywhere, on his hair, on his clothes, on his face. Any other day I would feel sorry for the poor soul that felt his wrath but not tonight. Not after I saw what they did to poor, innocent Natalie.
His motives for killing those people are far from virtuous but I'm willing to overlook them. His gaze locks on mine and I can see the anger boiling in them. "Be in my room in half an hour," he hisses coldly. "You'll stay with me tonight."
I know what will happen, I know very well and this might be the only time I'm fine with it. He took out the people that murdered Natalie, the only friend I possibly had, and for that I can put up with the abuse to my body.
