“Here,” the colonel reached on his desk, grabbed the shiny black rock and tossed it to me. “This is all that remains of him. He was crushed like a tin can in an experiment with a machine that compresses coal into diamonds.”
I
caught the stone and stood there dumbfounded for a second before totally losing
my mind. I screamed in emotional agony
as I stared at the rock. It was my fault
that he had died. If I’d only listened
to him about not trusting the boy that betrayed us, none of this would have
ever happened.
The
colonel looked at me strangely, unable to comprehend my outburst. I, in turn, gazed at him with murder on my mind. He’d killed my best friend, my mentor, my
advisor, my greatest champion. I could
no longer control my actions.
I hauled my arm back, transformed
to into knight form and hurled the stone at the man. It hit him with such force that it went clean
through his chest, leaving a gaping hole that quickly filled with blood. Brezhnev was dead and he didn’t even have
time to scream, beg for mercy or pray.
“Get
out of here, Katerina!” I screamed as I went to pick up the stone that was once
the armored body my best friend. “Get as
far away from the Kremlin as possible.
Leave everything. Don’t look
back. When I am through destroying this
place, I will find you. If you wish to
leave here, I will take you with me. If
not, that is fine, as well.”
Katerina
left without saying a word as I stalked about the office, trying to hold off
turning into a fire dragon until she reached safety. I was angrier than I’d ever been in my life
and I was tired of playing it safe. It
was time to allow my natural dragon instincts take over and become the killer
everyone thought I was.
Never again would I allow my
compassion for humanity to stand in the way of what I needed to do. Everyone considered me to be an evil murderer
anyways. I’d decided that from this
moment on, whenever people accused of such, it would no longer be a lie.
I love this series. Its a great one.
