That was it. She wouldn't get another chance. They took her to Boris' office and Kai back to him room. She heard him sigh when they parted. He was acting. Tala carried her into Boris' office while Boris checked on Kai. He threw her into a chair and slammed the door shut.
"So you knocked Kai out, how the hell did you do that?" he asked, looking at her with folded arms.
She looked at him and turned her back on him, spinning the chair around. He grabbed the handles of the revolving chair and spun her back around to face him.
"Why would you want to run away, from me?" he asked her.
She stood up and pushed him against the wall with previously unknown strength. She could see that it caught him by surprise.
"CAN'T YOU TELL!" she shouted at him. "I WANT TO GO HOME, TO MY SISTER AND MY Country. I DON'T LIKE BEING COLD ALL THE TIME. I HATE RUSSIA!" she shouted at him.
He pushed her back but she stopped his assault and pushed him back into the wall. Now he was smiling. He could fight some more with her. He grabbed her arms, swung her around and slammed her into the wall behind him. She winced as his hands bruised her arms.
"How did you get so strong?" he smiled at her and kissed her viciously.
She pushed him away and slapped him across his face. He recovered quickly and pushed her against the wall with his body. He reached down and began pulling down her pants. She grabbed the waist band with her free hand and tried to keep them up. She struggled against him trying to kiss her and pulling at her pants at the same time. She heard her waist band rip. The sound made them both stop and look at each other. He looked more excited now than ever before and she was scared, because that was her last line of defense. He realized what had just happened and smiled evilly at her and she realized that she couldn't stop him now. He kissed her roughly again and thrush his hips against hers, slamming the small of her back into the wall. The pain from the nerves in her back being pushed against the wall shot to her head and it was so painful that it made her wince in pain. As he pushed back harder, she felt him undoing his belt buckle and she knew it would be all over soon. He kissed her neck and she turned her face away from him and waited for him to force her legs away from each other. Then she heard the door creak open. Tala broke the kiss and stepped back.
"You two again." Boris said, walking to his desk and sitting down.
Charlie tore away from Tala's grip and marched over to Boris.
"Let me go already, you have what you wanted. You have Kai." She said, stepping back.
She wasn't convincing enough. She had to lie better.
"He doesn't even remember me." She said softly.
She thought of maybe turning on the water works, but that would be too much.
"That's not what the night watchman said." He said, as the door opened a young man came in.
He had a tape in his hand. He walked up to Boris and handed it to him.
"Oh, by the way, her sister was on the news this morning. All the channels. She said that she will find us, and when she does…" the watchman looked a Charlie.
"Well, judging by this princess, the other one should be a walk in the park." The watchman said before Boris dismissed him.
"Oh, now you're in for it. When Alex gets here, not even Kai will be able to stop her from rescuing me." She said, looking over her shoulder at Tala.
"Let alone you, Tala." She smiled at him.
"Well, we'll see. But let's see what the night watchman has given me." He said, before getting up and walking over to a TV.
He popped the tape into the player and the picture showed up. It was Kai throwing a jacket over the camera, with her in the background.
"I love you, Kai. And tonight may be the only night…" there was a moment of silence as her voice came from the speakers.
"Kai, tonight, I want you to make love to me. Tonight is all we have. Let's act like this is our last night on earth." She blushed.
The camera was covered, but they had forgotten about the sound.
"I agree." Kai said.
She looked at Tala and he was getting very angry.
"That's all you have to say." She heard herself say.
"That, and…I love you, Charlotte." Kai's voice said.
The sound of their conversation last night filled the room and she could feel Tala's eyes on her back. Boris stopped the tape and looked at Tala.
"Looks like Kai beat you to the prize, Tala." Boris smiled.
Tala grabbed her arm and turned her around.
"When was that?" he demanded.
She looked away from him and didn't answer.
"ANSWER ME!" he shouted at her.
"LAST NIGHT!" she shouted back.
She pulled free of his grip and looked at him.
"Kai came to see me. And yes, Tala, as Boris said, he beat you." She smiled at him. Tala grabbed her shoulders slammed her down onto the desk in front of Boris. He pinned her down with his body.
"Just give me ten minutes Boris. Please." Tala said, looking at her angrily.
In her head, she begged Boris to stay.
"Maybe later, for now, let me hear about Alex. You say she's strong." Boris said as Tala let her up.
"Very." She said, rubbing her collar bone and glaring angrily at Tala.
"She's the best I know. And her bitbeast, Bellona, she's the strongest one I've ever seen. She knows where I am. I'm sure. You better hope she doesn't find me, for your sake." Charlie threatened them.
Boris laughed at her and called over the intercom.
"Bring Kai in." he said.
Charlie knew that it was over for him. They knew that he helped her, after that tape, how could they not?
"Take her to her room, Tala." Boris ordered.
Tala smiled at her and grabbed her arm. He walked towards the door and opened it. On the other side was Kai, being led by two guards.
"I'm so sorry." He said as they walked past each other.
She broke free from Tala and ran towards Kai. She grabbed him around his neck and kissed him. He broke free of the guards and wrapped his arms around her waist. He broke the kiss and looked away from her, ashamed that his past was dragging her down with him but she made him look at her.
"It's okay. Everything will be okay. Alex is coming for us." She said to him as Tala and the guards pulled them apart.
The guards took Kai into Boris' office. The door closed and she heard fighting soon after. She watched and listened in horror as she heard Kai taking a brutal beating. A minute later, Kai was dragged out of the office, bleeding from his mouth. Tala wanted her to see that, the horror of knowing that they might have killed him this time. He pulled her back, while she fought to get to Kai, but he was too strong. She was taken to her room by Tala. He threw her in and dead bolted the door behind him. He picked her up off the floor by her neck, walked a few steps with her in the air and slammed her into the wall.
"Why didn't you tell me that he was here?" He seethed at her.
He had his other hand around her neck now too and was squeezing slightly. She grabbed his hands and held onto them, trying to get them off her.
"Why would I?" she wheezed.
"YOU'RE MINE, NOT HIS!" he shouted at her.
"I belong to no one." She said rebelliously to him.
He felt the anger rising and he squeezed her neck tighter. She wheezed and coughed.
"You belong to me. From now on, I will spend every night with you." He said, picking her up higher and throwing her across the room.
She hit the opposite wall and fell down onto the bed and he jumped on top of her. She kicked and punched at him, but she couldn't land a single blow. He ripped her jacket open, leant down and started licking and kissing her stomach. Even though she loved Kai, there was a danger about Tala that made him irresistible. Even more so now that he had shown his true colors to her. She lifted his head up and slapped him. He recoiled and pressed his lips against hers and kissed her fiercely as she tried to fight him off. She found herself kissing him back unexpectedly. She broke the kiss and turned her head away.
"I'm so confused." She whimpered.
She could feel the freezing tears running down her face. He turned her face to face his.
"Don't be. Kai is dead. I'm still here. I want you. Give yourself to me. I love you just as much as he does." He said to her in a soft gentle, but slightly dangerous voice.
He could be the wolf in sheep's clothing when he wanted to be.
"Please, just leave me to think." She said. He sighed and got off the bed.
"Just one more time, but tonight, now that you're not a virgin anymore… you're mine." He said, walking towards the door.
He went out and dead bolted it on the outside. He looked through the window.
"You'll be moved soon." He said to her.
"To the lab floor." He added before walking off.
Just as she caught her breath, there was a knock at the door. It opened and two men with guns came towards her.
"Are you ready to be moved?" one asked her.
She stood up and felt for Dranzer in her pocket. She was still there.
"Yes." She said, walking towards them.
