Freedom

The girl looked at the spasming man with a frown on her face. Now that he was dead she could drop the act and start thinking about how to get out of here. Before when she had spat a mouthful of blood she had aimed it at chains on her right leg. Seeing that her idea of putting explosive lightning power in her blood and then causing it to come out together at a single moment generating enormous lightning power, had worked she thought of exploding the power stored in the blood on the chains constricting her right leg.

Just when she thought that enormous lightning might come out of the blood causing the metal fragments to explode into red hot fragments, some of them dug themselves inside her ankle causing her to hiss out due to the searing pain of her flesh being burn by the red hot metal fragments.

"Concentrate" The girl muttered to herself as she controlled herself and with a face filled with pain she moved her now freed leg towards the body of the man. The man had a butchers knife on his belt and after struggling for some minutes she got hold of that knife with her toes.

"The grip looks flimsy but, I'll have to bear with it" The girl muttered as she pushed her lightning power to the sharp edge of the knife causing it to become red hot with a thin blue layer coating it.

Then with the flimsy grip of her toes she slashed the chains with the knife. Astonishingly the knife passed through the chains with ease as the chains were made of butter instead of metal.

"Two down, two more to go," The girl said under her breath. It was nothing less than amazing for her to stay rational in such a situation, half her face was torn up, her right leg had hot metal shard digging deep inside it. Her staying awake all trough it was amazing.

The girl shook her legs to get rid of the chains.

"Now that this shitty earthing circuit is broken, I can finally be free," The girl said with relief in her voice. The circuit had been made by the Boss of the Stronghold, he had connected the chains shackling her legs with the ground below the cemented floor of the building causing all the lightning she put out on the chains to be nullified. Now that she was free of the chains she could freely put out lightning on the chains on her wrists.

Her body gave out explosive lightning energy onto the chains causing them to vibrate and start heating up very fast. To avoid burns she immediately put all the strength left in her body into pulling on the chains.

*Crackle

*Bang

The chains broke with a loud noise, they broke in perfect timing, as soon as the chains broke the door of the cell opened up and the men sent by the boss to check up on the man rushed inside the cell.

"How?" The man commanding the group could not help but curse at the state of the room. Looking at the dead body of the second most powerful man in the stronghold gave him chills as he felt immense danger standing in front of this she-demon.

When he looked at the girl who was now looking at them with a gaze filled with murderous intent. He could not help but add. "We're doomed!"

"Let's get this over with," The girl said in an impassive voice as she took a relatively intact part of the chain that had been binding her legs before and tested it by swinging lightly.

"It'll do for now," The girl said as she looked at the chain which was covered by a blue sheen and crackling sound came from it as she swung it.

Not bothering to wait for the other party to come out of their dazed state she rushed towards them with full strength. She almost stumbled due to the injury on her foot but she grit her teeth and kept rushing at them.

The team of guards was a mess with some of them still in a daze and the other half had a horrified look on their faces.

"Collect yourselves!!" The leader of the team roared as he pulled out a gun from his holister. He was the only one who had a gun in this group as the number of guns in the stronghold wasn't enough so only the leader of a group or the border patrol had guns with them.

The man aimed the gun at the girl who was almost upon them just as he was about to pull the trigger the girl spoke.

"It's too late now," the girl said as she jumped high causing the man to miss the shot and now she was mid-air and she had almost reached them. The girl whipped the metal chains at the guard's head.

The metal chain smashed onto the man's head causing it to explode into a mix of blood and blue sparks as the now headless man's body stumbled down and blood and brain matter splattered onto the faces of his partners.

Most of them could not hold themselves and emptied their stomachs on the spot with a horrified look their faces. This group was not made of hardcore veterans, they were just some members of a small underground gang which did simple stuff like bullying people, extorting money and sometimes kidnapping. It was their first time seeing such a gory scene.

"Too gruesome," the girl said as she put her free hand on her mouth and with some difficulty forced down the upsurge inside her stomach.

"Shouldn't you be running away" the girl looked at the remaining people with a fake complicated look on her face.

Her words jolted the rest of men out of their horrified stated and they hurried out of the cell as fast as they could their faces struck into a horrified look as if they had just gotten out of the clutches of the devil himself.

The girl's body visibly relaxed as she almost stumbled down as her body trembled. She had put on an act, right now she was nothing more than an empty shell, all her powers were on bottom low due to extended usage and coupled with the injuries she had sustained, it was nothing less of a miracle for her to still be standing.

A soft longing look came on her face as her eyes unfocused and gazed upwards as if looking at the sky behind the walls.

"Where are you, little sis" There was deep melancholy and longing in her voice as if all that's left in her life was that one person she longed to find.

"I'll find you no matter what" A determined look came on her face as she walked out the cell but looking at the view outside she could not help but be astonished, she almost stumbled on her feet due to it.

"Wtf happened here?"
