Always Down

MIA FAYE

He grabbed my wrist which had turned into his most usual habit and pressed me against a pillar. He positioned himself in front of my legs, head facing down as he searched his pockets for more rounds. He then slammed his hand against the pillar in frustration when he didn't find any.

"Fuck." He groaned, tucking the revolver back into his pants before checking out the hall.

I cleared my throat. "Can I ask you something?"

He tilted to face me. "No, you can't."

I narrowed my eyes and pulled his jaw to face me. "Are we going to die?"

"If you don't keep your mouth shut and let me concentrate, then definitely." 

"That's not reassuring but have you got a plan b atleast?"

Before he could even say something back, a jacked man reached for him from the side. Hades shifted to the side and rolled his hand under the man’s wrist. He drove the man's arm over and back, yanking him down and sent him flying to the floor, not before landing two punches to the face, knocking him out entirely.

He then turned to me. "You stay right here and don't move."

Another one reached for him but he seemed to fight his way through this with ease. Standing up right, all I could see were three suited men, batting in the middle, along with some familiar faces. A whisper of movement made my eyes flick to the side, watching as a lean man advanced towards me, pointing the tip of the gun at my forehead.

"You have a pretty face." He ran a tongue over his upper teeth. 

"And you don't."

His rage seemed to be sparked by my repulsed answer. He let out a pitiful smirk, his finger curling around the revolver, however with one swift move, I seized his wrist with my left hand and held his gun hand against his chest. He barely had time to counter attack as I smacked him in the face twice with my right hand, right in the nose. He sunk and I pushed him down the marble floor, banging his head back.

"That was impressive." Kai sneered across the hall, snapping someone's head like a withered twig.

I dodged, feeling a cold swoosh of air across my face as a fist went past my ears. The stranger threw a right cross but I quickly moved to the left, enough to throw him off.

"Twice in a day." I responded and grabbed a fistful of his hair and pulled his head forward, fracturing his nose with my head.

"I can't believe that a twat truck like you can ever be remotely polite." I chuckled, earning a scoff.

"That's a good one." Riven laughed, aiming a head shot at his target.

"I don't actually—" Kai began, only to be held back by a hard blow to the jaw. "Motherfucker!"

He spat out the blood on the ground, taking a threatening step towards his cowering target, a sweet smile on his face and eyes delicately blinking at the man.

"I may or may not have killed an elevator full of people just because they pressed the wrong button." He stated, towering over the man. "And you man, you fucking punch me."

With his, he swung a series of fists at the same time, splattering thick blood across the ground.

"Back to our conversation," He whistled at Riven. "What's happening between the two of you?"

He tossed the body aside and turned to a bloodied Hades, although none of the blood belonged to him. "You don't want to add something?" Kai asked, offended.
