Strategy 9 - lügen

The sharp, acrid and a bit metallic smell of the freshly cut grass lingered in the air. Yet I could smell another pungent, ‘stale sweat’‘s smell right in front of me. In fact I was holding onto him.

The combination of both smells had overwhelmed my mind, making it sharper and clearer for me.

Whatever I said over here are definitely facts that I couldn’t denied.

Ken was gone. I lost my triumph card to rescue Kobe.

Of course, I hate the feeling of cheating, not only to Ken but to anyone else. The feeling really suck.

Lying is like exponentiation in Mathematic. No matter how little your lies, you will need to cover it with several others lies.

Of course, it does follow the rule of exponentiation whereby no matter what negative number you used, it will give you a positive result. In short, no matter how minor you tell your lies, there will always be some idiot out there who will believe in you. Not believing in the lies, but believing in you.

“Audrey, you are really a bad girl…” I say that to myself. The one who filled with guilt and shame from all the actions she took.

Maybe god is fair, from all that I did. I had lost everything. It’s more like I don’t have anything to begin with.

I couldn’t hold it anymore.

Tears trickled down my face again. My face was puffy from these crying. How much could I endure? Don’t ask me, as I do not have any idea.

Suddenly, I could feel something soft, touching my face. Kobe was using his finger, brushing through my face. But he was in a condition far worse than me.

“No you are not…” Kobe said it to me in a weak but affirmative voice.

I couldn’t know how to react. I was feeling touched and guilty at the same time. This time, I cried even more as I buried my head deep inside his chest.

However this doesn’t last long. I got separated from Kobe as Darwin kicked him aside.

There he was, groaning in pain as he held his back, trying to shield any further attacks.

There I am, crying myself away, trying very hard to avoid looking at it. But it’s impossible, I just watched helplessly.

The kicking stopped eventually, but the groaning still continues.

Darwin was looking at me with his scary grin on his face.

“Say Audrey, who’s is better?” He said that intimidating.

I couldn’t reply, but to keep myself in silence.

“WHO IS BETTER? THIS CRAP LYING DOWN HERE HUH?” He said that while giving more kicks into Kobe who was groaning away.

I was useless, I could only cry.

“Do you really love him so much that you offered everything to him?”

Dozens and dozens of questions kept flooding me as if I was a culprit being negotiated

The next moment, I could feel my hairs being pulled behind. It was painful for me, both physically and mentally.

My head jeered up as my hair got pulled. This time, I was facing Darwin who is right on top of me, sneering at me.

“If you can give it to that crap easily, why wouldn’t you do the same to me?”

Darwin sneered as he said that while pulling my hair back even more.

The next moment, I was overwhelmed by him as he forced himself onto me. I was struggling as if I was drowning, kicking all my limbs instinctively. Even with all these, it doesn’t stop his beastly actions.

His filthy hand was touching onto my face. It was disgusting but I couldn’t do anything except to keep pushing him far away from my sight.

He stopped, and he looked around. However I continued to struggle as much as I could.

I looked around him, wondering what could have stopped him suddenly. To my horror, I saw couple of his henchmen standing around speculating this scene.

“HEY! WHACHHA LOOKING AT?” He shouted at them

“GO GET THAT DOG WHO IS RUNNING AWAY!!” He added

With that, everyone was moving away from us. I could hear the brushing sound of the grass as they were moving. Making sure that everyone was gone, he turned his head back once again.

His disgusting face was looking at me once again. I couldn’t control my action anymore.

I gave him a hard slap. The splitting sound echoed loudly through the whole grassland.

He looked at me once more. I was expecting him to get even angry but I was wrong. His face was filled with a scornful expression.

“I know you will give it to me since I was your first boyfriend right?”

His words sent a chill down my spine. I was lost for my words.
