There I am, lying motionlessly onto the soft mud. My mind was overwhelmed with the acrid smell as my face was lying right on top of the heaps of the freshly cut grass.
My mouth tasted metallic whenever I took in a breath. Without looking, I could already tell that my face was badly beaten up.
Yet these pains I felt are nothing compared to what Audrey had experienced before. Deep inside her was the piling amount of pains she got from being betrayed by her loved one.
Her wound which I always try to heal for all these years are about to tear open once again.
That jerk, Darwin was touching her face all over with his filthy hands as he forced himself onto this frail maiden. No doubt, her wounds will be tore opened as she was about to experience something which scarred her before.
Her lifeless eyes which had lost it gleams were staring blanking in the dark. It was the same expression she had when I left the room after the incident a few years before.
The very expression which made me decided that I will definitely have to return her back to the cheerful self mentioned by Darwin before. It was an extremely difficult task for me as I decided to be responsible for my action toward her.
For the past few months, I couldn’t know how many times my face got slapped real hard without any hesitation from her. Yet, she cried every time she slapped me
Worst still, both of us were studying in the same school. Those times when we met, I could no longer see the spark in her eyes anymore. She was depressed as if she lost her reasons to live.
There were times when she even tried to commit suicide. But I was lucky to be around her and stopped her. But she always ended up clinging onto me and cried.
“Go away! Why wouldn’t you let me die?”
These words are like arrows, piercing through my heart. I had eventually lost count of how many times she said that when I stopped her.
If I can reverse the time, I rather hope that I never ever asked Darwin about his new girlfriend, Audrey.
Yes. Everything will not turn out like this if I choose not to be jealous of Darwin’s new girlfriend.
“Hey, why not you give me that Audrey whom you boasted so much?”
How I wished that I could never asked him this. It was meant to be joke, a joke which Darwin took it seriously. In exchange of that, he offered me to be one of his henchmen.
What’s more shocking was when I found out that Audrey was the very same girl who studied the same school as me.
She was burning when I carried her after she collapsed. No doubt, she wasn’t feeling very well on that day. In fact it’s obvious that she forced herself all the while.
With the grin of Darwin as if signaling me to have fun, I carried her to one of the luxury guest room. Placing her gently onto the bed, I could feel that the warm body leaving me. Her face was so red that it seems like she was very energetic. In fact she was a girl, overflowed with energy. Yet she was lying down motionlessly.
It’s seems like a perfect chance for me, but I did not continue any further. My principle was only to do it to the one whom I truly loved and she must love me as well. No doubt, she didn’t satisfy my principle.
More importantly, I need to fix her fever first. With the pills taken from the drawers, I held her up and fed her. My head was dizzy after those drinks with Darwin. With that I collapsed onto the bed as well.
The next morning, her cries were the first thing I heard.
It was too late when I tried to explain to her afterward.
But still, I had to be responsible for what I wished for. There was once when I stopped Audrey from committing suicide but i knew that I could not stop her if she chooses to do it elsewhere.
With that, I said something to her
“If you really hate me so much, then live to destroy my life!”
These words are like arrows, for which I couldn’t take them back after firing. Like an arrow which carried the duel invitation. I had invited myself to the hellish days where Audrey would try her best screwing up my days.
This is the when she starts transferring all the pain she had onto me.
This is when she starts to try her best to live again.
This is when my days get miserable…
But all these are about going to revert back to the day where she woke up if Darwin got himself onto her. Darwin was someone who meant his words and I am certainly that he will do her.
Despite my body hurts all over, I still continued to move. I do not want to be a coward who watched his lover got violated by this disgusting beast.
But it is obvious that I would not stand a chance fighting against him in my current state. I was doubtful, but Audrey cries managed to make me determined to fight against him.
I looked onto the moon filled sky. The sky was so bright with the gentle moonlight shone gently, but yet the ground was so dark.
Gleaming trails were flowing down from Audrey’s face.
Darwin’s disgusting actions were shown clearly.
Suddenly, I found something glittering amongst the dark ground beside me. It was like a star in the vast black sky.
It was a sharp pocketknife, glowing in the dark as if telling me to pick it up.
Without any hesitation I picked it up. I knew that I only had one chance. Any failure would mean the end of me and Audrey would be scarred forever.
However the consequence of me succeeding would mean that I had injured or even killed someone. Either way will not end up as good for me.
I got no time to waste. It’s only a matter of time before Darwin noticed me.
With the promises which I made to Audrey which I promised to brought back her laughter, I charged toward Darwin with my blood thirst blade glowing under the gentle moonlight.
