VIII - Ouch

“You thought I was stupid enough to believe that you have a thing for me? Your father always warned us about how much of a manipulative whore you are” Lucy screamed louder in my ear, I got used to this loud screaming break through my eardrum.

“I will kill you, I swear on my mother’s dead body that I am killing you,” I gritted through my teeth, I tried to push Lucy away but I only ended up with him twisting my wrist until a sound of a bone snapping filled my ears. I bit my bottom lip as hard as I could to stop myself from screaming out loud.

“Great lord that didn’t sound pleasing ouch,” Stephen screamed and I couldn’t help but smile through the pain since having him here was enough to make me laugh.

“Your friend is the clown of this area, am I right? He is a nice kid, I like him” Lucy said and I couldn’t help but laugh a little.

“NO NO, FUCK NO, SIR LISTEN TO ME CAREFULLY, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN WHATEVER IS GOING ON BETWEEN YOU AND THIS LITTLE BRAT IN FRONT OF YOU BUT PLEASE, I AM A FULLY STRAIGHT MAN AND I HAVE NO INTEREST IN FALLING IN LOVE WITH YOUR SMELLY ASS, AYE?” Stephen screamed and Lucy just snored in response.

“Stephen I don’t think he is interested in you, he is only interested in cutting some eyeballs, Aye?” I mocked Stephen. His mouth turned in the shape of an ‘O’ in realization.

“Now would be the right time to let go of my wrist because I am in so much pain,” I whispered to Lucy, who pulled me closer and started twisting harder, causing me to scream out loud. Stephen’s face turned pale, showing me how worried he is.

“You previously said on your mother’s dead body, which means that he killed her, what a shame; But it’s so funny how you will end up like her, a slut and her daughter-“ before he finished his sentence, the adrenaline rushed through my veins, causing me to push all the pain I am in right now away and throw my head backward, hitting him as strong and hard as I could.

The sound of his nose cracking filled my ear, he let go of me and fell on the ground while grabbing his nose.

“You little bi-“ I cut him off by turning around and smacking his face with my foot, causing him to fly away on the ground.

“I let you fucking disrespect me and everyone I have loved, but don’t you dare say a single fucking word about my mother who still has fresh blood rushing out of her body at this very moment,” I jumped on top of him and I started throwing punches at him.

“SHE IS STILL LAYING DOWN IN HER HOME AT THE GROUND WITH A BULLET IN HER HEAD BY HER BLOODY HUSAND, AND YOU ALL STILL HAVE THE AUDACITY TO SUPPORT HIM?” punches after punches, each one is stronger than the one before.

“YOU TOOK AWAY ALL OF THESE DAYS I COULD HAVE SPENT WITH HER, I DIDN’T EVEN GET TO SIT WITH HER AND TALK TO HER ABOUT EVERYTHING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME BECAUSE OF WHAT? BECAUSE OF YOU DUMB BASTARDS WHO MAKE ADRIAN BELIEVE THAT HE IS THE BEST LEADER TO EVER FUCKING EXIST,”

“DEVIKA THAT’S ENOUGH,” Stephen wrapped his arms around me and pulled me away from Lucy, I tried fighting Stephen to attack Lucy again but even though I was kicking his face with my elbow, he hugged me tighter so I wouldn’t let go of him.

“That’s enough Devika, we don’t have much time, we need to escape,” Stephen whispered in my ear, I stopped fighting back and took a deep breath.

“Look at him, he is knocked out cold, he got what he deserves,” Stephen said as he hugged me tighter to comfort me, I looked at Lucy who was down on the ground, his face is unrecognizable from the blood.

“I’m sorry Stephen, let’s go,” I worriedly said as we both turned around, I stood in front of the wooden wall Stephen was standing in front of before.

“Snap my wrist,” I told Stephen, who looked at me with big eyes.

“WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?” Stephen screamed at me, I couldn’t help but slap him. He placed his palm on his cheek and stared at me in disbelief.

“SNAP IT,” I screamed back at him, now it was his turn to slap me, I placed my palm on my burning cheek and looked at him with wide eyes.

“Don’t look at me like this, you are the one that slapped me first,” he angrily said, I don’t even want to discuss with him.

“Snap it, Stephen, we don’t have much time,” I told him, before he even gave me any warning, he grabbed my wrist and snapped it. I punched the wall next to me and bit my mouth to stop myself from screaming.

“Stop acting like a child, you are the one that asked me to snap it back in its place,” he huffed at me and he is lucky I didn’t tackle him down on the ground.

But he is lucky that something came to my mind when I punched that wall, I started looking around me and it hit me like a truck.

“Break it,” I whispered to Stephen, as I had my eyes wide open in realization.

“Break what exactly? Lucy’s nose?” Stephen said and I glared at him for making fun of me.

“Stephen I have seen the door on the right before, and the knife Lucy threw at you broke through the wall, which means that this wall is no more than two years old, as I can tell that there might be two exists. The original exists is behind this wall which was the only exit, but they closed it and made the only exit from the security room to prevent any more escaping accidents,” I happily said, I couldn’t tell why I was exactly this happy.

“Devika, let’s just break the motherfucking wall, you talk too much,” Stephen said and I couldn’t help but scoff at him.

“One…” I had the intention of counting to three but Stephen was too excited so he pushed his left shoulder hard enough to break the wooden wall.

“Devika, do we have the time to count to three? We have soldiers waiting to shoot our asses on the other side of this wall,” Stephen angrily screamed at me, he has a point I am only good at wasting time.

“Ready?” Stephen asked me as he broke the wood with the back of his gun, making a hole big enough for us to jump in.

“Be careful, there are too many shards that will painfully cut you,” Stephen told me as we both made our way to the other side of the wall, which led to a small room with a big door ahead of us.

“Stephen, as soon as we open this door, start running to the right hallway,” I told Stephen as we slowly opened the door. I looked to both sides to make sure it was safe, I turned around and nodded at Stephen as we both made our way outside.

“Three o’clock,” I told Stephen as we started running, when I made a right turn, I nervously laughed at the soldier with who I bumped chests with.

“Hey, I didn’t see you there,” I nervously said as I took a step back, I looked at Stephen who seemed to be busy with two soldiers staring at him as if he is a plate of freshly baked bread.

“Big guy, listen to me, we can solve this and live happily ever after, what do you say?” I nervously chuckled at him but he just looked at me with the devil inside his eyes.

“I tried being nice,” I said before throwing my fist at him, but dodged it and grabbed me by my wrist, now I guess I have to use the broken one.

I threw my other hand at him but he also dodged it and grabbed it, making my hands look like a shape of an ‘X’ from above.

“This wrist is bruised, how about we snap it again?” he whispered at me, I opened my eyes wide when he snapped it, before I had the chance to push him away or scream, he kicked me in the stomach with his boots, sending me flying down on the ground.

“I JUST SNAPPED IT BACK IN ITS PLACE YOU BASTARD,” I angrily screamed at him as I stood up on my feet, this is going to be a tough fight.

“STOP BREAKING YOUR DAMN WRIST BEFORE I CUT OFF YOUR ENTIRE HAND MYSELF,” Stephen screamed at me while fighting two soldiers on his own.

“Come here you bastard,” I told the soldier in front of me as he took many steps in my direction.

He went to grab me but I jumped down on the ground and hit him on his buddy with my foot, he yelped as he fell down his knees.

“That’s cheating,” he screamed at me as I stood up, I scoffed at him. I waited for him to stand back up so I could tackle him, but he surprised me by swaying his foot, dropping me down on the ground. I bumped my head on the ground, hard.

“LITTLE BITCH,” he screamed as he jumped on top of me, before he managed to throw a punch, I was quick to flip us both, leaving me on top.

“What’s wrong with you all and the word bitch?” I asked him as I started punching him, he dodged some of them but my other fist found its way to his face, even though I know my wrist is shattering into different pieces from each punch.

But that is when someone yanked me away from the soldier, I looked behind me and I found another soldier, I hit him on the face with my elbow to slow him down a little and I was happy that it worked, I went to my pocket to grab my dagger but that was when I realized that my dagger is not with me, it's right next to Lucy. How could I even forget about it in such time?

“THAT’S NOT A FAIR FIGHT,” I screamed at them when the other soldier stood up and made his way to me while the other was still grabbing me tightly.

“Oh shut up,” the other soldier said as he punched me as hard as he could, the one grabbing me let go of me and I instantly fell on the ground, with fresh blood running out my nose.

“This is going to hurt,” I whispered to myself when I realized that I couldn’t even stand up from the pain I was in right now, not to mention how weak my vision is right now.

“It’s going to hurt, pretty bad I have to say,” the soldier that was grabbing me said as he grabbed me by my hair and smashed my head on the ground as hard as he could.

Ouch.
