"So, remember me, now?" Peter's voice annoyed the hell out of Selina, making her roll her eyes until she couldn't anymore. She really wished she had the talent to roll her eyes backwards and not see this bastard's disgusting face in sight. He was lucky she was stuck on the bridge right now. Otherwise, he wouldn't be busy chit chatting with that foul mouth of his - he would be wailing.
She glared straight at him, scanning his features and frowned deeply. Other than the fact that he looked much worse by trillions of folds compared to Jason, she did not know what was great about him.
While she had her eyes laid on him, his heart sped up, racing like a cheetah trying to catch its prey. "Do you remember me?" He asked once again, but met silence all over again.
As if the stomping wasn't enough, his hands held both sides of the ropes and started rocking it sideways. Feeling her body swaying again, she tried holding in her urge to vomit from the sickening waves. She was nauseous as if she was tied to an endless looping rollercoaster.
The strong wind was making the bridge extra wobbly, which obviously was not helping her condition. She covered her mouth, wanting to puke and scream at the same time. Celinda tightened her fists and struggled harder when she witnessed the miserable treatment in front of her eyes. Nobody could ever stoop as low as this and she was not one who would tolerate this!
Shirley smirked, "Do you think that is all it would take for her to remember you? You need to trigger her memories! You should have her feel as if she's slipping down the bridge or even falling off of it since she jumped off the W bridge before."
The moment Shirley mentioned the W bridge; Selina squinted her eyes in dismay. Suddenly, she felt something splash on top of her head, soaking her hair. A water balloon filled with oil and water exploded on her. The mixed solution made everything sticky and gross to describe.
Then, she realized, what Shirley wanted to do. From where she was sitting and swaying sideways every time the bridge shifted, her body was barely supported by the thin ropes on the sides. If she had oil and water on her body, she could easily slide through or fall in the middle of the swinging action.
"Arghh!!!" Selina dodged the balloons when it landed in her direction. She tried catching it, but it was useless. The thin layer of the material explodes the moment she caught it! Though, the balloons were filled with oil and water, there was more water inside of it than oil.
Thus, it gave them more time to torment Selina, who was extremely fearful of heights. To block the incoming attacks, Selina turned her back towards them, letting her back take the hits. Unknown to her, the jump from the car earlier had made a huge hole on her blazer. A whole piece of the blazer's fabric was ripped off, exposing the blouse underneath it. The blouse was also wet inside as more water balloons were targeted at her direction.
Once they were out of balloons, Peter began moving the bridge again. This time, Selina found herself sliding past the ropes. If the wind blew any stronger and he also continues rocking the bridge like this, she would end up dropping dead before help gets here.
"Ahhhhh!!!!" She screamed as she held onto the ropes tightly, afraid her petite body would slip through the gaps between the ropes.
Shirley began laughing as she saw how pale Selina's expression looked whenever she met the rope rails of the bridge. The more Shirley and Peter enjoyed their disturbing act, the less wary they were about their surroundings.
"What are you doing? Weren't you eliminating this chick? Why are you playing swings with her?" Justin stepped out of his vehicle and strode towards the idiotic duo with impatience written across his face. Before Shirley could reply to his inquiry, his eyes caught a glimpse of Selina's butterfly birthmark.
Gasping in realization, he pulled Peter away from the bridge and punched him in the stomach. "What the fuck do you think you're doing to her?!" He grunted displeasingly when he recognized the mark the back of her shoulder. This was the same mark he has stared at for ages already. Finally, he found her!
Selina, on the other hand, was busy panting out of breath. While she was being rolled around like a ball from the circus, a migraine she always suffered from has visited her at such a wonderful time. This time, her vision didn't blur.
She completely remembered how the pressure of the cold water felt against her chest after she had jumped down from the W bridge. Like a rewinding tape, everything played backwards before it was flowing by sequence of events. Exactly, that second, Justin interrupted Peter from moving the fragile bridge.
Her eyes were closed as her palms found its way to balance her body from falling against the broken part of the bridge. On the verge of tears, fiery surfaced her eyes as redness painted her eyes crimson. Her fists slowly cracked as she remembered every crumb of effort she put into Sin Corps while this bastard sat in his CEO position, with his legs crossed.
She remembered Shirley's disgusting manner in the office and in private. From moving in with Peter to purposely showing off herself in only a towel after her bath, she recalled everything Shirley has done to attack her insecurity. The mother she had longed to hear a praise from have schemed against her, pushing her to the brink of death.
Her heartbroken brother had to witness her fall and couldn't do anything. Her brothers who doted on her as if she was their precious gem were all shattered that they cried while hugging her. But she was clueless. She didn't remember them. She brought them pain. Now, it was time for her to get everything back with her own hands.
Meeting her ferocious gaze, Justin took a hit and shivered tremendously by her sharp narrowed eyes. At the same time, the two guards holding Celinda down had been tackled and knocked out cold. After Celinda's wrists were untied, she turned around and recognized the familiar face right away.
"Aaron!! You're alright!!"
Helping her up, Aaron grinned. "Sorry, I'm late. But we're not alone this time." He took a quick look at his watch and timed it perfectly.
With his fingers curled to his palm and this thumb raised, he pointed backwards.
"Stay here. I'll go to deal with them and save Selina." Aaron said as he cracked his neck for some business he had to handle.
Celinda's eyes focused behind her and within two minutes, she spotted many vehicles arriving. Tears heated her eyes as she saw her family and Bryan exiting from different cars. Everyone was here.
And now, the games will officially begin.
