I hear an inarticulate sound of low, keening ache beside me and the evil angel drops his grip on my hair, drops the gun, and heads for Cerise.

I’m too shocked to do something, however I really feel Dmitri instantly seize me, virtually ripping my arm out of its socket with the power. Then he begins to run towards the automobile, dragging my sluggish, frozen physique with him.

He calls sharply for Gleb and Yaroslav, and so they run to get within the automobile with him.

Dmitri rips the door to the limo open and throws me bodily within the automobile. Then he jumps in behind me.

I land in a heap on the ground, however once I look again I can’t see both Andrei or Cerise because the automobile peels away, spurting up chunks of gravel in our haste.

My coronary heart is hammering in my chest. I can’t consider what’s simply occurred.

“Is he going to kill her?” I ask Dmitri, feeling panic start to spiral by way of my physique. Did Cerise save me simply to get herself killed?

Dmitri wasn’t precisely somebody who had a simple grin, however he smiled grimly at this, though the remainder of his face was set in harsh traces.

“Cerise?” he requested incredulously. “Oh no. She’s the one particular person on earth he’d by no means kill.”

“However,” he added dryly, “He shall be very offended when he finds her. So we’ll have a head begin.”

I gasp. “I can’t consider she did that,” I say.

“Don’t ever get on Cerise’s unhealthy aspect,” says Dmitri grimly. “She is simply as ruthless as Andrei is when she desires one thing.”

Then he turned to Gleb, who was driving the automobile.

“Fucking step on it,” he stated.

CERISE

I ran like hell.

I knew I couldn’t escape him for very lengthy. However I needed to attempt to give Dmitri and Mary a large enough head begin.

I had barely made it onto the trail to enter the Taiga once I heard my husband behind me.

Had he scaled the fucking terrace wall?

I felt a shiver go down my backbone. He have to be completely livid. I had by no means seen him this offended earlier than.

I used to be afraid of what he was going to do when he caught me.

I may hear him behind me: quick, arduous, ruthless.

I pelted by way of the woods haphazardly, ignoring the stinging slaps of the branches in my face, not realizing the place I used to be going.

Simply realizing I needed to put as a lot distance between us and Mary as I may.

“Cerise, cease!” I heard Andrei name behind me, however I ignored him.

I knew the chase used to inflame and arouse him. It used to drive him. However wanting me shattered that. The chase doesn’t drive him anymore. Now he hates it and it makes him sick.

I ran anyway. I’m the one who picked up Mary, so I’m chargeable for her. And the longer I can distract him the higher an opportunity she has to get away.

I can really feel him getting nearer behind me. I’m a quick runner, however he’s sooner.

And he’s not calling for me to cease anymore. Which implies he is aware of he’s getting nearer.
