The Darkness Within – Excerpt 6

The Darkness Within – Excerpt 6

  Irina came across to me and comforted me, she held me in her arms and pulled my head down to her breasts. We were both fully clothed, but it wasn’t long before her clothes were undone and I was sucking at her breasts like a hungry baby.

As I sucked and nuzzled she made little mewing noises, I had the idea that she didn’t actually dislike what I was doing to her. She lifted my head and kissed me hard on the lips, then her tongue slipped in to my mouth as her hands reached for my manhood.

I don’t really know what happened after that, only that we were two young and frightened animals seeking release and relief through each other’s bodies. It only lasted a short time, too soon had I spilled my seed in Irina. I had fumbled with many girls back home in the fields, But Irina was my first real lover.

Later that day, Taras and Istvan, The only other survivors of our group sought us out. They had been sheltered by friends sympathetic to our cause. We decided to have one last shot at the Russians, if only to avenge our lost comrades in arms. To prove they had not given their lives in vain, to our way of thinking the Russians owed us four lives.

This time the plan wasn’t at all subtle, we intended to petrol bomb their base, followed by grenades then kill all survivors, that simple or so it seemed at the time. But it was not to be.

We were making our way to the base, when we walked in to a Russian ambush, Taras was the first to fall under a fusillade of shots, Then Irina fell with a bullet in the neck, spraying me with blood, I could taste it on my lips.

I dived for the nearest alley and ran as if the hounds of hell were on my tail, I ducked, dived and changed direction a dozen times until I was sure I had lost all trace of my pursuers. With this last foray against the Russians, my days as a revolutionary ended.
