Chapter 14
Tired, but she'll survive yet another day.
......
People often obsess with things they can't have that they don't stop for a second to think if they truly need it. Sometimes not getting what we want may result in wonderful stroke of luck.
"No!" I jolted backward over the side of the arena as the bullet barrelled out from the gun in my shaky hands. It seemed that getting what you want wasn't as exciting as it used to be when you were just wishing to get it.
I was lucky enough to win myself a 45 caliber pistol. Though it wasn't a reason for celebration at all, I wouldn't jump for joy, the damn thing didn't come with a stupid manual. The television didn't help at all for making it look so easy.
It wasn't easy at all!
Firing a gun never stops by just pulling its trigger. There were more to it that one should

The Sergeant wants to see her.......I stopped running, it was too hot for extracurricular activities anyway. I sat on the green grass tilting my body so I could look directly on the shining yellow sun. The rays was too bright that it was slowly blinding my eyesight but I refused to close my eyes. It was a battle between the two of us; the king and the human. However after a few minutes my eyes started to hurt thus I averted them in defeat. I bent down connecting my two hands with each of my knees, I burry my head between my legs and closed my eyes, red covered my eyelids. It was the same color of my curly hair.I inhaled deeply. The wind blew hitting my sweat covered body making me shudder. I hated the morning runs, I could take that time for extra sleep but the salesman was a Nazi about it. What was the use of running anyway? I couldn't even remember th

What do you even want from me?......I wanted to cry. I wanted to have the strength to fight but I was weak. The fever had a great toll on my body and it wasn't just that but also my previous fights. Walking was already hard let alone struggle away from the tight grip. The guards were not making any room for me to move, their fingers were almost digging to my skin.I surrendered the idea. I focused my head elsewhere, we were walking on dingy path for too long but we hadn't stop. The trails were also new, I had no clue there were such elaborate paths in that place, if I was walking alone I would been lost. I didn't know how long it had been since I came in the underground, it could have been a month or two, it could even be a year already, I lost track of time along the way. It had been long but I still couldn't memorize its corners.I was getting tired of the wa

Make me.......If it was easy, anyone could have done it.All I have to do is get a freaking bottle of water. Water. Bottle. Water bottle. Bottle of water. I kept repeating and jumbling the words inside my head, my heart was starting to race like a rabid horse. My hands felt like an open faucet and I was going disorientated from nervousness. How could I possibly do it?I pushed open the glass door and walked in through the tiled floor of the convenient store. I stopped for a while, squinting my eyes to adjust with the lighting. I am just a normal customer, so don't mind me, I thought smiling to the boy arranging the boxes of cereals.I continued walking through the isle and further down to the fridge that contain the precious bottle of water. It was on the corner near the cash register, it was too close

Be the good fox, they want you to be.......They said if you want to eliminate fear then do it everyday. But it wasn't entirely true in my situation because the more I see blood the more I fear it. And the horrors just become more real as time goes on."Don't please! No...NO!" I shouted to the twins' looming forms. I couldn't run, my feet felt like blocks of heavy cement. No amount of shouting could make them move. There was nothing I could do.I was trapped!I glanced back and forth between the door I entered in and the approaching twins, finding a way to escape but sadly there was none. They caged me like a rabid animal with two hungry lions as guards. It would be not long till I get eaten.The wide spaced room was getting smaller as they approached me. I kept wishing for the walls, the floor, the ceiling or a

You're loving the wrong version of the girl that I become. ......I looked straight in the eyes of my opponent, two golden yellow gems stared back at me. We were both waiting for the first one to attack, analyzing each other's movements. I stood tall not losing eye contacts, making her see that I was the dominant one.With a step on my right, an ear piercing growl escaped shattering my ears. I swallowed down a stubborn lump on my throat that wouldn't go away. I kept my stance showing no fear for I knew she could smell it, like a perfume that lingers in the air. Fighting a human with or without weapon was something but fighting a rabid hungry lion with bare hands was another thing.It was an obnoxious thing but it wasn't for them.I run desperately for my life. The lewd cheering of the audience were making me anxious. I co

Because it takes a killer to know one......."Up!" Said a guy's voice, commanding my still sleeping brain. I pried my eyes open then turned my head to look at the source but as I saw the image of the guy I resumed my previous position, facing the white wall to sleep once more. Logan, the son of that bastard sergeant stood in front of my mattress, looking over at me. I could tell that he was afraid, faking the smirk plastered on his face. He was just a coward like his dad.Contemplating my next move, I sighed deeply letting out all the frustration of my last conversation with Nick, weighing the results of my actions. "Up!" again he said, shouting it this time, emphasizing the word like it would make any difference."How would you like to die?" Taunting him, I jumped off, grabbing his hand to twist it on his back. I could hear the

No. I think it wasn't any different......."I'm going to kill you all!" I shouted as the two guards pushed me inside my cell, meeting the hard concrete. I hit the metal door repeatedly with my hands until my palms turned red and my knuckles bleed out. "Let me out!" I cried until my voice became pained and hoarse. Dropping on my knees, I felt hopeless and defeated. Dresden fucking played me and I didn't have a single idea about it.The stupid mind games worked perfectly on me. I let them played me. Curving into a ball, I lied down on the mattress, the tears never leaving my eyes. Crazy ideas were running amok in my head, plotting the best way of revenge. I imagined many ways how I could kill each one of them, especially Dresden. I would torture them to my satisfaction until their very last breath.I promised

I got no time to explain but we have to move.......The feeling at the back of your mind that kept you from looking everyone in the eyes, as if they were mind readers that knew what you were thinking about. It felt like they were just waiting for you to make your first move and then poop they would catch you in the act. I couldn't erase the feeling from my thoughts, even how much persuasion I did with my brain that Nick could pull it, I just couldn't. The incident with Dresden, would not be repeated again.I made sure that all my actions were calculated perfectly.But Nick, he said he would be back soon and it was days ago. I thought he would be gone for a few hours only, not days. I haven't heard a single news about him after that meeting, there was no trace of him everywhere I go. It was like he vanished witho
