Sniffing wind~25

The hospital were also asleep on the ground.

All the patients were lined up outside. The patients were overloading but the doctors were short handed.

"This looks awful." Nod stated.

"Let us help the kids be carried to the front." Hue suggested.

They split the placard in half and lined up every injured kids. They moved invisibly that the nurse and recuer were amazed at how fast they treated and cured the wounded.

Stripe made his way to the mental Institute and found his mother tied on a chair. She blankly stared to the space. Stripe approach his mother and hugged her. He sat by her side and observed how she would react. Stripe was unable to visit her ever since they escaped from his father.

Every man with pairing clothes and jumper were eyed by the woman. She stared and examined each one. Her face showed gloom when Stripe did not came into her view.

Stripe whispered a short sorry when the man he does not wish to see appeared.

"I am here to take her back." Mr. Pomegranate stated.

His mother tilt her head at him and said.

"Who are you?"

The man just winked and yanked her to stand up.

"Your master. I am here to fetch you again today. You always forget. Your son left you in my care. He took my daughter then I will take his mother. Your my thing to begin with."

The man viciously spoke.

Stripe stood up and was trying to held on his mother but his hand passed through her skin. Oak noticed the scene and informed the two. Nod and Hue grabbed the signage and followed Stripe.

"Who is that?" asked by Nod.

"Our father." Oak replied.

"And the woman?" Nod inquired

"Stripe's mother." Hue responded.

Mr. Pomegranate mercilessly dragged the woman under a secluded area. The buildings were collapsed due to the earthquake.

"Woman tell me where is your son?" Pomegranate demanded.

But she just stared in the space. She did not mind being roughly pushed down.

"You useless as usual. Anyway I need your body in this stressful situation." Pomegranate pointed and was unbuckling his belt.

Stripe froze on the spot. He is unmoved. He can't breath. His chest rapidly banged his rib cage. He can feel the heat of his anger. He shut his eyes and clench his fist when a loud bang was heared. The signages got smashed in pieces unto Pomegranate. Nod breathed fiercely after the blow.

"I will kill a trash like you! I don't want you near them." Nod roared.

Pomegranate looked around and stared at the smashed signage.

"Who dared to hit me? Show yourself." Pomegranate commanded.

Oak covered her ears. She got sensitive at the tingle nor even of the man's presence.

"Me, I am in your face. Trash!" Nod yelled in his front.

"Stop kidding. Show yourself coward." Pomegranate stated when nobody showed up he continued removing his belt.

Nod pick up the rubbles and got angry. He threw it on the man.

The man had his eyes widened.

The wood were being thrown to him.

Pomegranate catchel the piece of wood and said.

"Stop messing with me."

"I don't believe on what I can't see."

"This wood is nothing."

Hue called in Oak and put Stripe's mother on the signage. They tried to escape but Pomegranate held the signage and thwacked it upside down.

The woman had her forehead bleeding. Stripe got shaken to reality and stood up to pick up some of the rubbles.

"Get your hand off her." Striped warned.

"Wow. This is funny now the rubble is talking." Pomegranate replied.

Hue and Oak helped the woman and run for it.

"Who are you? Show yourself devil!"

Pomegranate roared.

"I am in your face." Stipe said and slapped the man with the rubble. His hand shook. It was the first time he talked back and hit his father.

"How insolent. Undershanded method suit you well." Pomegranate chuckled. He recognised the voice of Stripe.

Stripe dropped the rubbled. Nod caught it and threw it at his face. Nod yanked Stripe as they get back to the hospital and hid the mother. The doctor and nurses were shocked but they still tended her. Pomegranate bowed to the nurses and pulled him by the side. He took her back on the same spot and was provoking Stripe. They run after the man and found him ripping the woman's clothes.

"Your son is toying with me.It's payback time!" Pomegranate announced as he looked around waiting for something to occur but there was no sign. He was ready to pull the trigger. When their was silence all over the place. Pomegranate chuckled and throughly started his intention.

Stripe's mother just stared lifelessly at him. It was like she can see him. Stripe had this fright and hesitation and was unable to move. He was glued on the ground his ribs were swelling. It was like his ribs will fall even if it was firmly held by a jumper.

The man started undoing his belt when Oak beat him with the signage. When Pomegranate smirked and faced her. Oak kept beating him. She started to continuously hit and beat him till he bleed and losed consciousness. Nod and Hue halted Oak as she tremble in disbelief and anger. Her eyes were outpouring some blood.

She looked ominous and was in pain.

Stripe helped his mother and asked for a nurse. He spoke behind the nurse, since it was a busy time the rescuers and doctor run toward the secluded area and checked on the man who is bleeding.

"Time of death 2:22pm.

Cause of death lose of blood." The doctor announced. Oak started to anxiously shake. She killed her abuser. She killed the man who made her life mesirable. She took a life... and that life is her father's own.

Nod twirl her around and said.

"Oak look at me. It was not your fault. You helped Stripe's mother."

Oak blinked as blood started stream from her lens.

"I killed him." She whispered trying to convince herself.

"No, You saved a life." Nod corrected.
