Love and Betrayal

Chapter ten

    When Dani had first come down to the gym, she wasn’t sure what she was going to do. First she lifted some weights and did some cardio. The scar wrapping around her body started to hurt but she pushed on anyway. Years of training kicking in. A couple of guys and a girl came in. The guys eyed her up and down, their gaze appreciative. Feeling more secure of her body because of Aaron, Dani had worn a workout sports bra and spandex tights. She ran a little more on the treadmill and then got off and began taping up her hands. The woman sneered at Dani but Dani ignored her. “ Hey Brody, Cain, come give me a hand stretching will ya?” the woman asked. Dani watched from the corner of her eye. The woman was stretching provocatively, making it look more like she was having s*x than stretching. She wore nothing more than a bikini top and booty shorts that showed off half her ass cheeks. Dani shook her head and went back to wrapping her hands. “ You got something to say b***h?” the woman said in a high pitchy voice. Dani’s expression remained stoic as she ignored the other woman. When she was done with the tape, she hit her fists a couple of times and then went over to the heavy bag.  While Brody and Cain helped the woman, Nia, stretch, their eyes kept moving over to Dani. Their eyes moved down her body, stopping once on her tattoos and then down to her round firm ass. On her left shoulder, Dani had the Celtic knot of loyalty and on her right shoulder she had the grim reaper. Brody and Cain groaned softly watching her. 

Jealousy slithered through Nia as Brody and Cain watched the new girl work out. They were undressing her with their minds and getting hard. They’d stopped helping her stretch a while ago and now just sat there staring. Nia got up and walked over to the new girl. She’d heard this chick killed Drake in the cafeteria but seeing how small she was, Nia didn't believe it for one moment. “ Look at you, acting all high and mighty. You’re no better than the rest of us.” Nia said but again Dani ignored her and kept hitting the heavy bag. Nia growled and shoved Dani’s shoulder. Dani stopped with a sigh and turned in Nia’s direction. “ I’m talking at you, b***h!” Nia sneered. Dani’s expression never changed. “ I don’t know who you are and I don’t care but I will warn you only once, back the f**k off, I don’t want to hurt you.” Dani said carefully, meanwhile every one of her muscles tensed ready to attack in a moment's notice. Nia laughed, Brody and Cain laughed with her. “ b***h, you can’t hurt me, Kajika, Keener and Dragov wouldn’t allow it! I got those men p***y whipped!” she said, motioning down to her crotch. Dani tilted her head to the side with a taunting smirk. “ Is that why Keener was in my room for hours claiming me as his?” Dani asked in a deceptively sweet tone.

Nia’s face turned red and with a scream and she swung at Dani. Dani had to admit, Nia wasn’t a bad fighter, just sloppy. She was easy to read and predictable. Dani blocked and dodged every punch Nia threw. With every dodge, she would retaliate with quick, hard jabs to Nia’s midsection and then a right or left hook to the face. After a while, Dani got bored and swooped in, putting Nia into a submission hold. Nia screamed in rage and pain as Dani’s hold threatened to dislocate then break her shoulder. Dani grunted as she felt a boot to the side of her head. Letting Nia go, Dani stood up. She felt something wet run down the side of her face and she touched it with her fingers. Dani’s face drained of emotions when she saw her own blood. ‘ These assholes want to fight? Alright then.’ Dani thought to herself as she slipped into a different stance. She’d gone from MMA to Krav Maga. Keener, Dragov and Kajika stood at the door and watched the fight between Dani and Nia. Kajika shook his head at Nia’s antics. She knew what the deal was. The s*x was no strings and it wasn’t even that great. But for some reason she couldn’t get it through her head that she was nothing but an easy lay. Dragov growled when Cain kicked Dani in the side of her head. It was easy to become protective over her if you didn’t know Dani because she was so petite. When she saw her own blood, all life left her face and her whole demeanor changed. “ s**t!” Kajika said. He’d seen her like this before on mission just before she wiped out her enemies. The woman standing there was no longer Dani. This woman, she was the killing machine the Division made, this was the Reaper. “ Oh you’re dead meat now b***h!” Nia moaned from the floor. Cain rushed Dani like a striking snake. He was fast but she was faster. Just as he reached her and punched, Dani sidestepped and using all her momentum and his, she slammed her palm into his face with a sharp, quick upward jab. Cain fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes; Dani had no reaction, she didn’t even look back. Brody stared down at his now dead friend, Nia and then back over at Dani. “ I’m not a part of this!” he said and backed away, his hands up. This woman was obviously a lethal killer and he didn’t want to turn his back to her. Nia screamed in anger and got up off the floor. She swung wildly as she came after Dani and again, Dani changed her fighting stance and technique. She moved fast as lightning as she kept hammering punches and elbows to Nia’s body. Dani was no longer taunting. Now she was punishing Nia. Nia began to back up but Dani stalked her like a predator. When Nia looked into the woman’s eyes all she could see was her own death.
