Alexis's POV:
I felt bad snapping at him like that but I dont know why I still had this little hope that he would take me back. That it was all a prank and I would forgive him but he walked away and I felt that farmiliar ache in my heart once more. That's until a gunshot was heard and one of the bodyguards near me screamed in pain.
'Take her away', Terry said to Kamile who nodded and stared dragging me to God knows where but I refused.
'No I can fight!', I said struggling to free my hands from his hold but he held me tighter.
'Not now Alex. Your life is more important now'.
'Okay', I said softly. We where outside now in an abandoned alley and I breathe a sigh of relief just as i was suddenly pulled by someone and a knife was placed on my neck.
'Griffin!', Kamile said to the man. It was the same old creepy man from the ball that looked at me with a mischievous smile but how did he know who I am?
'Well hello there Kamile. Nice to see that you found yourself a beautiful wife but dont worry I only need her head it will look good in my collection', he said lowely licking my ear and I whimpered.
'Lasciala!( Translation: Leave her). Kamile said coming coming closer but the evil man whose name is Griffin moved backwards pushing the knife more into my skin.
'Mai! Ho aspettato così tanti anni per questo e non ho intenzione di lasciarlo andare'.(Translation: Never! I've waited so many years for this and I'm not going to let it go). Griffin said to Kamile.
I wanted to cry and I also kick this man but I was tired of being the princess in distress. Griffin was still talking to Kamile and this served as a distraction. I decided to execute my plan. I kicked him where the sun doesn't shine and held the knife that was near my neck away so that it doesn't cut my neck off. He grouned in pain as he held his crutch.
'Why you little...', he started but I wasnt done yet. Kamile took my hand but I stared at him with a 'dont you dare' and he let go immediately. I punched Griffin in his face causing his nose to break and blood dripped down from it. Griffin only laugh and winced a little in pain.
'The one and only Lyra', he said with venom. I brought out my pocket knife and stabbed him in his stomach and I heard Kamile gasp. 'Many many more people will still come for you Lyra. They will be worst than me for sure', he laughed again and coughed out blood.
'Let's go', I said to Kamile walking away from the now dead Griffin.
'How did you? What was that? Since when do you know how to fight?',he asked confused.
'There are alot of things you dont know about me' I said shrugging.
'But that doesn't explain that', he said referring to what happened.
'Just forget about that. C'mon let's get to the safe house', I said joining our hands together and walking out of the alley.
