Author’s POV
“FUCK!! Where the hell is she? We have to find her!”
“Shit! We are scrolling!”
“Relax all, she is just a fragile girl!”
“Fragile girl you say? Did you see what the heck she did to my eyes?”Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Tsk! Stop blabbing and look for her, it is getting more dusky already”.
“Aren’t we waiting for dusk to come? It will be more fun how she will cope with the night and coldness of the woods!”
“Shut up, and keep searching for her, we must bring her to master Yakuza as soon as possible”.
That was the men chasing after Gianna arguing.
Gianna covered her mouth with her palms more tightly trying not to scream on hearing Yakuza’s name.
So, it was him all along, she couldn’t believe Yakuza was still after her life even up till that moment.
She could still remember vividly how Yakuza almost raped her when she was just twelve years old.
This wasn’t the time to think harder, she thought to herself.
She could hear their footsteps walking farther away from her, and she slowly started breathing again bringing down her hand from her mouth, daring not to peek outside the wood.
The instant her hands left her mouth, she heard a loud thud from outside the woods.
“Over here! I found her!”
Gianna gasped in shock. A man’s face hovered above her like a maniacs, he was smiling triumphantly at her like a predator would do after finding its prey.
Gianna became breathless as shock registered in her mind.
Then she saw his hand reaching out to her, and she swung into action, she spat into his eyes and briskly reached out for her hair pin and used it to stab his hands.
“Urghh!” The man roared in pain.
Immediately, she stood up and with her little strength, pushed him away as he busied himself flipping his hands in pain.
Then she moved to his back giving him a rough bite before running further.
She didn’t know exactly what she was doing anymore, maybe her zeal for survival made her do all that, as at that moment, it wasn’t Gianna, it was some spirit inside of her.
She kept moving with fear and a panic filled heart.
She was still running when somebody grabbed her from behind. The man tugged at her hair so hard that she stumbled backwards letting out a pain filled scream.
She tried to turn to see if she could still deal with whoever it was that had held her, but taking her aback the man shoved her hard on the ground, and she fell with a great thud.
She scrambled, her hands and knees crawling on the slippery soil, she tried to crawl away, to go further away from those crazy humans, however her mind began getting hazy, she felt like she was going to pass out as warm liquid flowed down her nose.
“Get back here, you sluty bitch”, a husky voice snarled at her and then he pulled her by the hair again, forcing her to get up, she cried out in pain wishing Greg was already there to rescue her.
Tears pooled out from every corner of her eyes. Her face was filled with blood, her finger filled with dirt, her eyes felt dizzy, her knees paled and hurt due to the crawling.
Her feet wobbled as she couldn’t feel part of her body anymore, like she felt numb. She was almost getting drunk in the web of darkness.
Just then, she heard a sickening scream, which came from the men who were inflicting so much pain on her.
Gianna’s eyes were blurry and she was barely hanging on to her consciousness.
She felt the man’s grip on her loosened and then tightened again.
“Ahh!” she yelped as she closed her eyes, teardrops fell over her cheeks.
The man holding her cussed and began stepping backwards in fright, as if he had just encountered a devil rising to life from the bottom of hell.
He trembled vigorously, another ear piercing sound filled the dark wood as the sound of birds flying out of the forest was heard, and instantly everywhere went silent.
