"We did."
"Did you kill him?"
"No, he's in the basement." I place a kiss on her lips. "You don't have to worry about him anymore, I promise."
"I need to see him." She stands up and walks toward the door.
I grab her by her waist and pull her back to me to stop her from leaving. "Wait, Kira. I don't think that’s such a good idea."
"Austin, I need to know why he did all this. I need to look him in the eye and find out why he believes I deserved all this."
"Babe, I need for you to sit down and listen to me." I pull her over to the bed and kneel between her legs. "You need to understand that this prick will die tonight. There will be no more Avery Hansen walking this earth."
She gently grasps my face. "Austin, I understand. I just need closure.”
I place my hands on her shoulders and gently shake her, give her a passionate kiss on her lips. "He put these events in motion the moment he decided to put his filthy hands on you."
“Please, Austin, I need to do this. Please, let me do this." She places her forehead against mine, pleading to see him one last time.
Taking a deep breath, I close my eyes and nod my head against my better judgment. Maybe talking to this prick will allow her to see that he was the cause of all this. Maybe talking to him will release her from the guilt she holds.
Akira
Walking to the basement, my breathing starts to pick up, the palms of my hands begin to sweat, and my body starts to tremble slightly. Before we enter the basement, Austin stops me, places a hand around my waist, and looks me in the eye. "Kira, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Austin, I need to do this." I take a deep breath, trying to calm my nerves before we enter.
"I'm right here, baby. He won't come near you." He cradles my face in his hands, placing a small kiss on my lips. "If you need to leave, you do it."
Taking a final deep breath, I nod my head and follow Austin as he leads me down the stairs of the basement. Reaching the bottom of the stairs, I scrunch my nose not only at the smell, but the blood covering the floor. In the middle of the room, I see the man who has become the devil that fills my thoughts during the day and my dreams at night.
"Avery," I call out to him, and he lifts his head, looking at me with no emotion.
My body tenses as Avery's eyes start to roam down my body, finally landing on our interlaced fingers. When anger etches across his face, and he grips the arms of the chair he is tied to, Austin wraps his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer to his body.
"Akira, you fucking bitch!" Avery screams as he struggles against his restraints. "This is all your fault! Wait until I get out of here. I'm going to fucking kill you!"
"Watch your fucking mouth!" Austin yells, and then nods to Razor who is leaning up against the wall.
Moving at a snail's pace over to Avery with a smile, Razor punches him across the face. The sound of bones cracking and blood oozing from his nose causes me to bury my face in Austin's chest.
"Ahhh! You son of a bitch! You broke my fucking nose! Do you know who the fuck I am?" Avery screams as Razor laughs, walks back over, and leans against the wall.
"I don't give a fuck who you are, you spineless prick." Razor wipes the blood from his hand.
Austin glares at Avery as his chest rises up and down in a fury. "Now, Kira wants to ask you some questions, and I suggest you answer them."
"Fuck you! I don't have shit to say. I wish I would have killed your stupid ass."
That comment causes Austin to release me and punch Avery in the face again, causing more blood to stream down his face. I take a step closer to him, just out of his reach. "Avery, what did I ever do to you to make you hate me so much? I did everything for you! Everything!"
"You didn't do shit for me but cause damn problems. I lost my friends, my father almost disowned me. All because of you, people looked down on me!"
"You tried to kill me because people looked down on you? You jackass! You truly are a psychotic son of a bitch!"
"Fuck you! You dumb bitch! I just wanted to try some black pussy, and you wormed your way into my life. I never loved you, but that pussy was too much to pass up." He laughs as he spits out blood.
"I told you to watch your fucking mouth!" Austin sends another punch across Avery's face.
