Pretty but Deadly

Chapter 08: Just To Sleep

"Ibaba mo ako ngayon din! Put me down! Jeeerk!"

I screamed while continuously struggling. I tried everything to escape away from his grip─kicking him numerous times, elbowing his gut and back, knocking him with my knees, clawing his thigh, and throwing punches─but every attempt seems had failed. I tried every potential attack to wrestle him down. But he can counter my every attack, too. However, I still didn't stop myself from fighting. 

"Stop it. Or I'll put handcuffs on you." He said threateningly. I rolled my eyes though I'm facing his back. 

"Hah! As if you brought some!" I sneered. 

I heard the glass door closed and I felt the cold night breeze touch my skin, mostly in my bare legs which Devon had pinned with his strong arm so I can't get loose. My strenuous attacks went slow and weak until both of my arms drop weakly. They're now swaying together with my hair as he walk nearer the parking lot. A moan had escaped my lips and my eyes went close involuntarily. I think all of my blood went down my head. Hell! It hurts! My energy had drained. Damn! Nakakahilo. 

I think he had sensed my suffering. His grip loosened a little and his paced went gentle. 

Minutes later, I heard a small sound flickered and a car door was opened. Mas lalo ata akong nahilo ng aksidenteng tumama ang ulo ko sa kotse ng tumalikod itong demonyo. I swear a heard a loud impact. 

"Ouch!" I snap angrily. "Watch out, bastard!" Makawala lang ako dito siguradong babawian ko ang isang to! 

I had a glimpse of three pair of shoes. Three men in a suit with guns. Right. Of course, may kasama siyang galing sa organisasyon. He ordered them briefly. I tried to eavesdrop but my dizziness forbid me. Soon, they are out of my blurry sight. We faced the car again. Devon grip my waist. I thought he'll just going to throw me, slump inside the car, but he placed me in the shotgun seat gently. Phew! Good. At least, he had learned a tiny part of being a gentleman. 

Nang makaayos ako ng upo ay pumikit ako ng mariin dahil sa pagkahilo. Pagkamulat ko ay bumungad sakin ang mukha ni Devon, nilalagay nito seatbelt sa akin. Pinanood ko siyang matapos. Bagamat may konting kirot pa sa aking ulo ang nararamdaman, isang malakas na suntok ang pinatama ko sa pisngi nito. 

"What the hell!" Daing niya. Haharap pa lamang siya sakin ay rumagasa na naman ang kamao ko patungo muli sa kaniyang pisngi. Hah! Take that! I tried it again but he caught it already. Mukhang natuto na ito. But, I still got my other free hand and that went his face. Abruptly, before I could give him my fourth punch he had held my other hand, too. I pulled them both but I can't get loose his grip. With no choice, I head-butted him hard. I heard him cursed loud. Damn! My forehead hurts, too. He gave me a deadly glare and I retaliated it with a deadlier glare. "You're a bad cat." He muttered. 

Bago pa ako makapagsalita ay mabilis itong naglabas ng handcuff mula sa bulsa nito at agarang nilagay sa aking dalawang kamay. Ni hindi lang ako nakapalag sa ginawa nito. I mean, who the hell would put some of those in their pocket?! 

Only this demon. 

"Seriously?!" I said sarcastically. "You do brought some shackles for me?" My eyes narrowed at him.
