JASMINE’S POV
It wasn’t going to be like that time in Kensington. I wouldn’t let him get away. He charged at me again, his movements faster than before. It was like the fight between Louis and Keith. I didn’t panic, though, just carefully watched his movements, following the training from both Louis and Freeman.
I blocked his punch with my arms by diverting it since I couldn’t fully stop it. Then I extended my leg and kicked him.
He groaned and staggered before I kicked him again straight in the head. He almost stumbled and fell. Before I could throw a punch he managed to grab my arm and turn my body around. He then picked me up with my back against his chest. I wriggled around trying to free myself.
He then moved me forward. My eyes widened as I realized he was aiming to throw me down the stairs.
I used my feet to kick against the railing of the stairs, using the entire force of my body. He backed into the nearest wall and groaned. With his grip kissed I freed myself from his hood. he was forced to let me go.
Then suddenly he waved something at me and threw it in my face. It was like a cloud of dust being thrown in my face. Immediately I began to choke as I waved his hand away from me.
My vision became blurry and my eye itches my throat was dry and I felt a burning sensation. A deafening scream escaped me as the agonizing sensation coursed through my body.
"Mum!" I heard Tony scream as he peered down from the higher level of the stairs he was on. "I’m coming!"
My eyes widened and I grew worried. "No, Tony stay back!" I cried out.
His footsteps continued to come down though.
My assailant then kicked me down the stairs. I tried to land on my feet but ultimately failed to do so. Landing on the leg I sprained weeks before and draining it again. The force with which I hit the floor in the level space between the stairs put my body in shock.
"Mum no!" Tony screamed again.
"Tony stay away please!" I begged him in a weak, hoarse voice. I doubted he heard me.
It took a moment for the shock to pass and then the pain of all my injuries hit me like a truck. I couldn’t even scream out. My vision became blurred, and the world seemed to be spinning. I tried to get up but found it extremely difficult.
My assailant was facing me as he watched me."I didn’t want to hurt you too much Jasmine. But you were putting up such a fight, I had no choice," he said to me.
In the back
"How sweet. Your son cares so much about you," he continued. "Lucky for me," he said as he turned away and faced Tony who was fast approaching.
"Don’t touch my mother!" Tony shouted as he made to punch the man but the man grabbed him. Tony squirmed around for a moment.
However, he surprised me when he managed to throw a punch with his elbow that caught the assailant off-guard; straight to his stomach.
The man groaned in pain and released Tony. After this, Tony followed up by stomping on the man’s foot.
"Ah! you little —" he yelled as Tony flew past him and went down the stairs towards me.
