Chapter Forty

Sheena
Alicia brought me to the other place where she found the seventh person that I needed to kill in order to get rid of the curses that wanted to tear my whole life apart. As usual, she told me everything that I needed to know about the seventh person. Alicia told me that she was a rich woman who owned a jewelry store. She is not just rich, but also powerful.
"That woman is living in that jewelry store." Alicia pointed her index finger at the store, which had many guards and people coming. Not just that, the store is near the highway, and it seemed difficult to fight that woman because there is a police station near it.
"G*ddammit! It seemed to be difficult to enter that store because there were many people, guards, and also cops," I said, complaining.
"Don't you say that, you have the power to kill whoever you want. Don't forget that everything you need is already there. You are clever and swift."
"Right!" I exclaimed. "I am swift and I can use that power to kill the woman that owned that jewelry store."
"Yeah, you can use that power, but first let me tell you what things your enemy can do. That woman is not just big, but she has the power of earrings, which can create millions of pins or needles. This time, you definitely need to be careful because she will definitely throw you the needles that came from her earrings. That is so painful if they hit you."
"That sounds dangerous, but don't worry too much. She cannot kill me because I already know what to do in order to defeat that woman.
"Okay, I believe that you can defeat her. Just take care, because I will not help you kill her. I need to search for the next person because..." she had not finished her words when I interrupted.
"Stopped! That's so monotonous. I already memorized that speech you are saying. You better go now if you will not help me kill that earrings lady," I said.
"Whoa... how can you make a sobriquet of your enemy on the spot?" Alice asked.
I replied, "Nothing, I am just using the source of their powers to give them a sobriquet, so that I won't need to call them the 'seventh person, eight person, ninth person,' and so on," I said.
"You have a point; that is quite uninteresting if you are calling them numbers, but you can call them numbers too, so that you can't forget how many people's houses have already been killed," Alice said.
"Why do I need to know how many people I have already killed if they are already destined to fight me? I will be fighting no one if there is no one left that was destined to fight me."
Alice said, "Right, I better go, because you seemed to eat me if I stayed here and watched your fight with the, earring woman."
"I will definitely eat you if you do not come back here at the right time."
"Don't worry, I will come back here so that you will not eat me."
Alicia suddenly disappeared from the spot where she was standing. I also went near to the jewelry where the earring lady was. I joined the crowd and pretended to be one of those people that wanted to buy something from the jewelry store.
After waiting for some minutes, I got an opportunity to talk to the owner of the store. She was wearing a beautiful shirt and leggings, but she was just a little bit fatty. She asked me if I wanted to buy something in her store, and because I didn't know what I wanted to buy, especially since I didn't have any money because buying something is definitely not the reason why I went there, I searched for an alibi.
I told the earrings lady that her earrings were beautiful and I wanted to buy them in any amount. She was surprised when she heard me saying those words. She replied that she would just sell the other pair of the same earrings because her earrings are already worn and they have sentimental value for her.
My intention was different from hers; therefore, I coerced her to sell her earrings to me, but she chose to have a dispute instead of giving them to me. Maybe her earrings are so powerful that whatever happens, she will not sale them, though I will offer her a billion dollars.
I didn't want to destroy my plan for her, and because of that, I became submissive in that case, and I told her that I would buy another pair of earrings that had the same appearance as her powerful earrings. I and the lady went inside another room of the jewelry store because her earrings in the front room were no longer the same.
The opportunity showed up by itself when the earrings lady was taking the earrings that I wanted to buy. I used my power to become swift, and I suddenly grabbed her earrings with a kick on her butt. Because of my strong kick, she landed on the large container containing her jewels.
I didn't want her to stand up and fight me again. That's why I seemed to place her inside the container as I kicked her with all my force. After ten quick kicks, her head was bleeding. She even did not growl, because I was so fast and even though she was so fat, I made her out of consciousness. There are many loud sounds that I made while kicking the thick butt of the earring lady. I am still lucky, because even though there were many loud sounds that I made, nobody went inside the room.
To end her life, I turned her neck and a loud crack appeared in the room. After many loud cracks, the earring lady totally became flabby and breathless. I noticed that she is not totally ugly, because even though she is fat, she has a high nose, a round face, black eyes, and white skin.
After killing the earrings lady, Alicia suddenly appeared in front of me and she smiled, seeing that the fat woman had already died. As what she always did every time I killed the enemies, she offered the spirit of the fat woman to her master, which she believed to be powerful. The body of the elderly lady disappeared from the spot where she was lying. That was a good sign that her spirit was accepted by Alicia's master, and Alicia didn't need to worry about it. Alicia stood up and I already know the next word she wanted to say, that is to ask me if I am ready to go to the next person that I needed to kill. Well, I am always ready and she don't need to ask me about that thing anymore.
It was already evening when Alicia brought me to the place where the eighth person that was destined to fight me lives. The crescent moon appeared in the sky, the stars started to shine and the houses lights around the place. I remembered when I was still in my mansion, I was always looking at the moon that looked like thin wafer of pale lemon, looking at the thick shadows that represent the stables and everything else. In the place of eight person I saw a different view of the moon, it was a white in color with some black stained on it.
I am already wont of the changing climate, because I seemed to travel the whole world in order to be totally free from the curse. Sometimes I am in a warm place, sometimes in a cold place, but in the place of the seventh person, I felt like normal, perhaps it was a tropical country.
Then, Alicia told me that the eight person that was destined to fight me is a boy. A boy that has the power of watch. She told me that the boy can change his appearance into different aliens.
I thought that he was Ben Tennyson. I asked Alicia and I thought that I was right because of her replied that sounds the same. Alicia told me to take care because 'Ben Carson' and not 'Ben Tennyson' is powerful. I told Alicia not to worry about me because I am already great and whoever wants to fight me, I will definitely defeat them. I will defeat even Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Spider Man, Flash, Green Lantern, Cat Woman, Captain America, Aqua Man, etcetera etcetera. I will defeat all those heroes in those world to get my freedom.
Alicia told me where Ben Carson lives, so that I can attack him secretly and the same with the earrings woman, he could not use his power anymore, because before that happened he is already out of consciousness. I would be seizing his neck and hung him in the air.
Thereafter Alicia told me if where is the watch boy, without saying anything and unlike before, she just suddenly disappeared from the spot where she was standing without saying goodbye or saying where she wants to go. Well, that is her life, a life of a spirit, and I cannot control the things that she must do, or what I want her to do. She had her freedom, though she is still in a curse. It is always making me baffled if why she needs to go to the place of spirit if she can just be happy in this world without thinking about anything.
If Alice was contented of what she has, she did not need to put me a curse and definitely, we lived a happy and peaceful life unlike that life that we were experiencing now. Maybe I don't need to kill people anymore and I am just reading the books of Warren Remo II in my library room. What else I could do is to emit a long, deep and audible breath as I expressed the regrets and pushes them out from my mind.
The past is just a memories and files that are stocked in someone's mind. The more I would delete that file that more it could not be deleted; therefore, I would better not to thought about those things anymore and they would just delete themselves if they wanted. In that time, I focused on how to defeat the watch boy and I thought the same way.
Eventually, I went near to the house where he lives. The house is looked old and simple, it is made of polished woods that perfectly attached to each other. As I looked at the axe on the ground, I remembered when the curse was still controlling my body. It used an axed to kill some people, maybe I can also use this axe to kill the watch boy. Maybe I would pretend that there's other thing that was controlling my body. I knew that was not easy, because when the curse controlled my body, it was just okay if someone would hurt me because I could not felt any pain, but in killing the watch boy by using my own body is totally a different kind of thing. I knew that it was so painful if someone would punch, kick and hit me with something. I knew that it will only took three punches of a man in my face, and the blood will totally streamed and diffused my face, because they what I noticed to those people that I punched.
Therefore, I continued walking towards the door and knocked on it with my left hand, because my right hand was holding the sharp axe. After many times I knocked on that door, someone had opened it and because it was already night and the moon is the only source of light, I had not recognized the face of that person. Without any doubt, I hit that person with the sharp axe between his forehead. I knew that he was an old man when I pull him out the house and I entered there freely. His skull was definitely damage because of the sharp axe that I used to kill him.
The house is small, and I easily found the watch boy that was sitting on the wooden chair beside the table. He seemed eating something, a rice and chicken wings, that looked so yummy, but I knew that food was not the reason why I went there. The reason is the boy eating them.
I went near to the him when he suddenly stood up with his plate, as he would be putting it to the sink. The watch boy was tall and he has a short hair, looked like Ben Tennyson, but he was Ben Carson. I also saw the watch on his wrist. He is wearing a green shirt and a lavender pants, above his forehead, there was also an eyeglasses. He stopped when he saw me and uttered a words.
"Hey! Miss beautiful, what are you doing inside my house? And what did you do to my grandfather?" he asked.
"Hello handsome boy, your grandfather is already dead and I killed him, now if you don't want to follow him, fight me!" I exclaimed.
"What? Did you killed my grandfather? A girl like you can kill my grandfather in just seconds? That's unbelievable."
"Whahahahaha!" I laughed. "Did you see this axe? This is the axe that use to kill your father, I stroke him between his forehead, and if you don't want me to strike you too, fight me!"
Maybe he noticed that the axe on my left hand is so sharp and also prolific of blood that might came from to his grandfather. He was dazed, he did not know what to do. He seemed to be a wind blowing back and forth at my front. He stopped and hold his head firmly, until he finally said that that he will kill me too as what I did to his grandfather.
His appearance had changed into an alien that was a fire breather. There was a continuous fire that coming out form his mouth and he was not only a fire breather, he can also fly. By the used of being swift in my movements, I avoided all his attacks and I fight him with the powerful fan. I thrown him a big hurricane that caused his house to be destroyed. It was not totally me who destroyed his house, but his fires because he seemed to burn me alive of his anger.
If he thought that he can killed me easily, then he was disappointed, because the fires that he thrown to me, I also thrown them back to him by using the powerful fan. He seemed to burn himself in his own fire, because he cannot hit me, but I hit him many times and his body burnt. He collapsed because of the hot fire that came from him. He got not a normal burnt, because he totally turned into a coal.
I did not expected that the fire that coming out from his mouth would be so hot. He even turned himself into a coal because of too much burst that was coming back go him. He died because of his own fire. Meanwhile, Alicia suddenly appeared beside me, as she has a power to know when the person that was destined to fight me is already dead.
"Oh Sheena! What happened to the watch boy? Why he seemed to be burnt by a large burst of fire?" Alice asked, appalled.
"He kill himself, he made a fire and burnt himself. Will it matter if he looked like a coal? Will your master will not accept his spirit?" I replied.
"Of course not, it was just his body who burnt and his spirit like me cannot be burnt, except if a powerful spirit will burnt him again, and he will be totally died for the second time," Alice said.
"If that so, you better waste not your time, because his spirit might elude if you cannot offer him to your master," I suggested.
Alicia offered the spirit of the boy to her master. Eventually, we went to the place of the ninth person. I would not stopped as long as I could not finished my mission in order to get rid from the curses, because stopping even for a while is just a waste of time.
