Chapter 3: 3 Got into the darkness
I stab his eye with the first knife and lodge the other to his chest. He screamed. I stepped on the knife hard, burrying it on his chest deeper and he growled. I checked if he is still breathing and to my dismay, yes he is but I know not for long. I stood up, looking at the near lifeless body with mock and satisfaction.
"I need to change."
I make my way to the shower room, deciding not to come back here again. I buried the dead body and it was too much of a struggle because of my arm.
Throwing the shovel away, I sighed. I will make sure that this will be the last time I will kill someone innocent. I showered again and after drying my body, I pulled a shirt and jeans in my bag. I place all my knives inside it and the memory of when I first came here flashed in my mind. I feel the heat of hot tears threatening to form in my eyes but girls like me don't cry. I throw my bag in my shoulder and made my way to the door without looking back. I should leave the memories here to stay and allow myself to start again, finding that beast without involving innocent lives.
Feeling the gaze and curious looks from the people, I hid my face in the cap I wore then I swung the door of the restaurant open. I rounded my eyes inside. No sign of any Red Force boy. I sat in the vacant seat in an unoccupied table. This restaurant is our meet up place.
"Can I sit?"
I looked up and rolled my eyes seeing this person is who I'm looking for.
"Where's my food?"
He acted shock like it was the first time he heard me asking for food.
"Where did you get that bruises?"
I hid my face again in the cap.
"It's not your business. Go and order me some food."
I saw him looked away. He had a look of frustration in his eyes but I ignored it.
"Don't you hear anything?"
"I heard everything."
"Then go and order now."
"Oh! I think it's also not my business."
I gave him a death glare for that sarcastic remark.
"What happened?"
"I scratched it."
"You~WHAT?!"
"Do I need to say it again?"
"That was the lamest excuse I've ever heard."
"Go and get me some food now."
He stood up.
"Let's eat in another place."
"No, I want it here."
"Okay."
He started to walk away.
"Fine! Wait!"
I grabbed my bag and instantlt shut my eyes tight.
"Shit!"
The pain in my arms is getting more prominent now.
"What happened?"
"NOOO!"
He stretched my arm and I can feel the tears running down on my face. He checked my arm and he looked at me with a look of disbelief in his eyes about what just happened to my arm.
"Did you scratch it also?"
I nod slightly as an answer, he sighed in annoyance.
"Let's go to the hospital."
"No, I'm fine."
"No, you're not."
"I'm really okay, I'm just hungry. Starving, actually."
He glared at me like he wants to strangle me.
"Oww!! Yeah, yeah I'm not okay. It really hurts, Ouch! I am really in pain now, let's hurry to the hospital."
I said it like I'm asking a lollipop from him. Yes, I admit, I am afraid of him when he glares at me like that.
The distant memory flashed on my mind when he did that for the first time. He asked me about the wound that was on my right stomach but I just told him that I had my red days. He caught me checking my wound and he knew that it was from a gun shot but I kept on denying it even when the wound kept on bleeding. Then he glared at me and I ignored him because I believed that I can fight him and beat him anytime even when I'm injured. He pressed on my wound and obviously that made me scream in pain but he kept pressing on it, that I nearly apologized for ignoring him. Before I can say it though, I fainted and the next thing I knew, I woke up in a hospital.
He drew me back to reality when he snapped his fingers right in front of my face.
"Change your clothes."
I glanced at the hospital gown and at him back and forth.
"You can't change?"
I shake my head as an answer.
"Let me help you."
"Oh! No, no, no, I can do it!"
I grabbed the hospital gown that he's holding.
"Let me help you ma'am."
Offered the nurse and I handed her the hospital gown. She opened the door of the restroom waiting for me to go inside. She helped me removed my shirt and I can't stop myself from making disgruntled expressions because of the pain.
"I will kill you right now."
Before I could react about what she said, she had already held my neck tightly. I tried to remove it but I can't. I gasped for air and couldn't even say a word. I tapped her hand strangling me, expecting that she will free me but she held it tighter and she twisted my injured arm. I stomp my feet, feeling breathless with how tight she's strangling my neck. I really want to scream as hard as I could but I don't think I have enough air to do that. I can feel my breath stopping anytime now. With a hazy mind, I heard someone knocking so I stamp my feet harder to try and alert the person outside the door. I saw the door opened before I lose my vision and succumbed to the darkness.
