Two of them ran to me first. One has a dagger so I needed to avoid it properly, another one is determined to punch me but I ducked and jumped to avoid all their attacks. Another batch ran to join them. I kicked the ass of the two and others' chests. I'm panting after I gave half of my strength. Azelyn and Akira were just watching me fight their men.
All of them are fighting me now. They're surrounding me, I jumped and kicked their chest one by one in a circular motion. Groans and growls echoed. I kicked one's face and hit another one's 'down there'. I turned around to punch the one behind me in the face and give him a headbutt. I took the dagger from the one holding it the moment I turned him down, I threw it to the four. Bullseye.
I was busy catching my breath, I bit distracted by the fast beat of my heart when I felt a huge impact on my head. I knelt, face crumpled because of the sudden pain. Then a high kick landed on my face, it made me choke blood. Another kick on my stomach, on my back and on my legs. I feel weak.
I can fight, yes. But I'm still a girl, a human. I have limitations. They are too many and I'm just alone, fighting for my own life.
One mindblowing kick from the tallest among of them and my body moved from farthest direction, I rolled and bended cause of so much pain. I feel numb.
In my nearly-closed eyes, I saw Azelyn's pair of heels, walking near me. Its feminine sound is destroying my eardrum. She stopped and bowed in front of me, cupped my face, making me look up to her evil smirking face.
I felt like I became deaf when her hand landed on my face."This is for stealing Yuki from me!" She slapped me once again."This is for ruining my biggest dream!"
My cheeks were burning. I felt a sting on my eyes. Akira then, came near us. She's looking at me without traces of guilt nor regret. She slapped me hard. My face remained on the side, being numb. She slapped me again.
"You deserved this, bitch! You deserved all of this! You're a big hindrance to my dream family! Why did you come back anyway? I thought you'll be gone permanently! Why?! Why did you come back?! You should have stay away from us, you should have stay far from us! You shouldn't have come back!" She continued slapping me until my cheeks bleeds.
I can feel her raging breathe and burning anger. She's so red, tears pooling in the side of her eyes, gone the looking radiant and carefree Akira. She pointed me.
"I hate you so much! I don't get why they love you when you're nothing but a black sheep in the family! I don't know why Uncle Martin still loves you when I'm there, more of a kind daughter than you!"
A small smile plastered on my lips."You... wanna know... why?" I asked weakly.
She didn't answer, she just stared at me.
So, I continued."Because I'm... his only princess... and I'll forever be. It won't change... No one can change it... not even you. They love me... because I'm the real part of the family... and you're just a stranger, forcing yourself to be with us..." I told her.
Tears fell from her eyes. I closed my eyes and accepted her slap, it was harder this time. She looks angrier than before. Well, truth hurts.
"You die, Vanez! Die! Die! Die!" She continuously shouted.
And I realized something while accepting her every slaps. She's crazy. She has a psychotic disorder. Her mood swing is unexplainable. She's giving me nothing but creeps.
|Yukenzo's POV|
Everyone's panicking after Vanez's disappearance. Her make up artist told us that she's nowhere to be found, I'm so confused and worried because I'm sure I just left her there in the dressing room. So, how come?
While everyone's getting busy preparing for the party, the main reason of the event has gone and no one knows where she is by now.
"Call the police, the taskforce and all!" Mr. Arnaez roared in a deep voice. He's not in the mood. Well, who's not?
Innov and I, nodded. We have the same idea. We need to find Vanez as soon as possible. We shouldn't depend on the police.
His mother, Sharon Consuelo, clung into Mr. Arnaez's arm."Hon! Akira's missing, too! She's nowhere to be found in her room! Oh my goodness!" She nearly cried.
"Don't worry, hon. We'll find them..."
"Please! I'm worried!"
That's the situation when the landline suddenly rang. One of the maid handed it to Innov. He's looking at us as he answered the caller. Minutes later, his face turned into a horrible one.
"What?! What the hell, Akira?!"
"W-who is that? What is it, Innov?" Her mother asked nervously.
I sighed heavily. I don't like what I'm feeling and what I'm seeing in his face right now.
"N-no... no way, little sis'. Don't you ever fucking joke like that! It's not funny!" He looked like he's in distress.
Mr. Arnaez came near him."Who is it, Innov? Tell us!"
Innov put down the landline after. He stared at us like he's in trouble.
"It's Akira, Uncle... Mom..." my heart pounded fastly."She called to inform us that... she's not missing."
"She's not what?! What do you mean? Innov, please!" Her mother begged.
He looked straight to my eyes."Because she's the one who kidnapped Vanez, mom. She's with your friend, dude."
Just a word and I already got what he said. His mother and Mr. Arnaez remained shock. We nodded in unison. My fists clenched.
No one should hurt her. It's already enough. We're going to fight together tonight to save the birthday girl. My girl.
