The First: EVO Uprising Read Online Free Page B

thought to his former employer whimpering behind the bar. A nervous smile grew on Nadiya’s face as she continued to hide near the entrance leading into the bedrooms. The woman sauntered over to the bar placing her hand on the beer-stained wood top and slowly tapped her fingernails across it.  
    “ If you make me rip this bar apart to get to you, I will bludgeon you to death with it,” she warned him.  
    The pimp, rapist, sadist, and murderer of women fearfully rose to his feet with cuts on his hands and face from broken glass. He reeked of booze that splashed on him during the demigod-like battle in his bar. He timidly raised his hands searching for mercy.  
    “ Please… please, let us negotiate,” he quivered.  
    “ The F’n monkey” doesn’t negotiate.” She leaned forward, sneering at him.  
    She purposely put a fraction of her weight down on the bar causing the middle to crack and splinter as she caved it in. It appeared as if the whole bar would rip from its foundation folding in two like a lawn chair. Yuri fell back against the shelves that held the liquor. Two more bottles came down on top of him. He stooped down nursing his bruised skull.  
    “ I said stand up!” her voice boomed.  
    The powerful voice made even Nadiya weak in the knees with fear. Yuri timorously rose to his feet whimpering like a child fitting to get a lashing. It was then that Nadiya felt like a deer in headlights as the woman looked in her direction. She wore kind softness upon her face as she stared at her, something Nadiya had not seen since her father. It kept her rooted in place, even though her heart attempted to beat itself out of her chest. Her fear was natural after baring witness to the terrible power this woman possessed.  
    “ Hi, it’s okay. You don’t need to fear me. Come,” she gestured, extending her hand as if coaxing her like a fawn in her native tongue.  
    A fraction of her wanted to run, thinking that she was trading one monster for a more terrifying one. She slowly crept forward believing that before her was salvation sent by God.  
    “ That’s it,” a smile grew on the woman’s face. “It’s okay, you’re safe now. He can’t hurt you anymore. What is your name child?”  
    “ Na… Nadiya… my name is Nadiya,” she said slowly.  
    “ Nadiya,” the woman said, her face lighting up.  
    It was a sincere smile that put Nadiya more at ease.  
    “ Very beautiful name, how old are you?” she asked.  
    She glanced over at Yuri who looked at her sending a sliver of intimidation her way to keep her mouth shut. Unfortunately, for him, the woman caught it. The next thing Nadiya felt was a whirlwind making her scream. Yuri screamed louder as the woman with one hand grabbed the bar and tore a portion of it off like snapping a match, tossing it near the smashed open entrance. It hit the ground bringing back the reality of how heavy it actually was. She then stomped over to Yuri shaking the ground and let her fist fly.  
    It went past his skull blowing out the wall bringing in the open air on the other side. From the look of Yuri, as he cringed, it appeared as if he soiled himself.  
    “ Ya mad?! Yah ah try fe intimidate dee pickney right in fronta me?! Ya wan me murdah you?!” she howled.  
    Nadiya could barely make out the weird broken English she spoke. She, however, did not need to understand it to tell that she was beyond livid and through with Yuri.    
    “ No! No! I swear! Please! Please!” he screamed with trembling legs.  
    “ Bow your head!” she roared in Ukrainian.  
    He quickly complied.
    “ And keep it bowed unless you want me to rip it from your shoulders,” she growled.  
    She took a minute to let her kindness comeback before addressing Nadiya again.
    “ How old are you child?” she asked calmly again.  
    “ Sixteen,” Nadiya shyly answered. “I will be seventeen in two months.”  
    “ Sixteen… years old.” The rage came back as she looked down at Yuri.
