Chapter Thirty Nine

???'s Point Of View

"Target is in view." I spoke into my ear piece. "Only one of the hybrids is with her. Can not confirm which one. From the looks of it, it looks like the scrawny cat."

"Confirm their hiding spot. Further instructions will be given." His voice spoke through the slight static.

I moved from the shadows and continued to trail the two.

The cat turned around and narrowed her eyes.

I was hidden before she could even focus. My breath hitched slightly. She was one of the deadly ones. The other one was the deadliest. Then the dog. And then her.

I heard them continue their walk home.

"Her senses have improved." I advised the mic.

"Stay unknown. You've trained for this." He warned.

"I know Sir. It's under control." I continued my journey.

—-

"Are you sure this is their address?" He questioned.

"I'm positive Sir. I'd say they are on the third floor." I estimated, watching a light turn on.

I stared at the window until blinds covered the light.

"Should I eliminate them now Sir?" I offered, touching my gun lightly.

"No! Absolutely not!" He shouted, making me flinch. "I created them. I want them back, not eliminated."

"Apologies Sir."

"And she is up there." Sir calmed down.

"Who?" I frowned. The girl?

"My-" Sir began, but my scream cut him off.

A figure from above jumped on top of me and I fell to the ground, her on top of me.

I could see her yellow eyes.

It's him.

"I told you if I ever saw you again that I would kill you!" She growled, a feline hiss following. And then a jingle of a bell.

Her claws attacked my face.

Don't scream. You can't scream

"Agent! What is happening?!" Sir shouted.

I opened my mouth to respond, but her claws ripped the ear piece from my ear, destroying it between her fingers.

Swinging my fist, I thought I had her. But I forgot about her reflexes.

And her strength.

She caught my wrist and dug her nails into my skin. They went so deep into my arm, I started crying.

"Please, please." I begged, watching my blood drip from her claws.

Her eyes glared at me with such an intensity, I wanted to die right there.

"Now you're the one who is begging huh?" Her eyes closed as he laughed. "I remember begging for hours and hours for you to stop, but you didn't even glance at me. Why should I be different?"

"Because you're better than him." Two more figures jumped down from the fire escape.

He didn't even turn to greet the others.

"Go away Nicky. You don't have to see this." Her cat-like teeth shone in the dark, the bell sounding once more.

Nick and Sammi stepped into the light, right beside my attacker.

The deadliest three. And the one I had conducted tests on, was now the one controlling me.

"Elisa, you've had your fun. Now you're done." Sammi placed her hand on Taehyung's shoulder.

Elisa shoved his hand off. "You have no right to talk here!" Elisa shouted. "You weren't there! You weren't the one who they tortured! I was! I suffered!" Elisa turned back to me. "And now my abuser can suffer for all of his sins."

Nick placed his hand on Elisa's shoulder.

"Elisa, you aren't a monster like they are. You are an angel. I know what it feels like to be abused and controlled. I know that there are demons constantly tormenting you."

Elisa looked down and away from Nick, tears falling from her face.

"But you need to make peace with your demons. You can't turn into one. Then they have really won." Nick persuaded softly.

Elisa fell to her knees, sobbing silently.

Nick kneeled down beside her and hugged the deadliest of the three like she was a child.

I stared at them with wide eyes.

Sammi stood in front of them, glaring down at me, her cat eyes present now as well.

"Leave before I kill you."

I scrambled to my feet.

Nick turned to look at me.

I will never forget that such an innocent and playful face can turn into the devil's.
