CHAPTER 90

Scar took the gun for himself and pointed it at ken who was spluttered on the floor as shocked as I was. His eyes were wide open as he held on to his legs for support.

Each reaction from Ken caused me to shudder.

I was more afraid of the repercussions of what Scar did than happy. I didn't think we could escape, not alone at least. 

It was unlike me to think this, usually impulsive me would have been running out the door now.

But I felt that a part of my impulsiveness had been buried by some event I could not remember. Now I thought before I acted.

Scar looked up and his eyes met mine. I held on to his gaze shuddering underneath.

"Mira come with me." He pleaded.

I winced at the sound of his voice. The voice that I had come to love so much.

His eyes were pleading seriously with me and it hurt me.

Did he think I wouldn't come with him if he didn't beg?

I wondered if he feared that I wasn't his anymore_that I was now Kens.  I won't blame him if he thought so after what he saw me do now with Ken it was only right that he had his doubts.

But I was his and nothing would change that. Not even fear.

I didn't move. I stayed perfectly still. Maybe it was out of fear or hate for myself.  I looked around for my gown and wore it hurriedly throwing the vase I was holding on the bed.

With sweaty hands I adjusted my bra and my gown.

I picked the vase up  from the bed again. It now felt like an extension of my hand.

"Mira please come down we need to leave now." Scar ordered, his voice increasing a notch.

Ken staggered to his feet, breathing heavily.

He cursed underneath his breath furiously.

This time I knew not to move because there was the possibility of him grabbing me as I had to go through him if I wanted to meet scar.

Scar knew what I was scared of so he pushed Ken to the side while still pointing the gun at him. Now their position changed_Ken stood where the pole was, still limping and Scar stood in front.

I got down from the bed Still holding the vase, my only weapon. I stood next to scar watching him from the corner of my eyes.

Scar didn't take his eyes of Ken but he held my hands immediately acknowledging my presence. His hold on me was very tight it hurt, but I felt happy that he still wanted to touch me. I was happy that he still cared and him holding me like that made me feel like I gave him the strength to move on.

If I could give him the strength to move on, it only meant that deep inside me there was strength in me.

A small smile appeared on my shaky lips.

"Don't try anything stupid Ken I have no intention of punishing or torturing you. Unlike you torture is not one of the things I do, but I do not make empty treaths, I only give my word and my word is my bond. If you try anything stupid it will be the Last time you try something. Are we clear?" Scar asked, with a every seriousness. His face was devoid of any emotion, as blank as paper.

He pulled the trigger with his right hand causing Ken to limp back a little.  Ken started chuckling, then it turned into a full blow laughter.

He still felt like he had the upper hand and maybe he did because we were obviously in his territory.

Never fight a man where he is King.

However, even knowing that Ken may have the upper hand I placed my trust on Scar. If there was anything I knew about him, it was that he would do anything to protect me.

I was still trying to understand how he got out of that chain, it was like in the movies.

"This is funny to you? I am not your average man Ken, that's what you fail to understand."

"I know you are not an average man, but I do know that you can't leave here alive. My men are outside, and I have told them what to do if this should happen. I kind of suspected that this would happen anyway you know!" He chuckled. " I was taught never to underestimate my enemy. In fact I was thought to overestimate them. To bring into the picture more possibilities than they could even imagine that way you prepare yourself for everything. To accord them more wisdom and power than they could have so nothing they do surprises you."

"I sure as hell will surprise you Ken." Scar snickered. "Now move!"
