One day

Chapter 4

I'm Sen, one day I was chased by the bad guys.

I was determined not to let them catch me, so I let my legs move, squatting long in the bushes to get ready to run away as soon as they're gone.

Looks like it's almost time, suddenly someone fell into my place. I've heard them push around before, and I didn't expect to get caught by accident.

I looked him in the eye for a second, and then I was scared of dying to run. I don't have time to go anywhere, but I need to go somewhere where someone can help me.

It's not more than anticipated that they were laughing at me and after me, making me think they were hunting, but I'm the prey.

It's just that my legs are at their limit, it's difficult to lift them, let alone run fast, so I got caught by them. At first, I aggressively pushed the person who grabbed me to fall, but gradually there were more and more people, and I couldn't resist them all.

Two or three guys held me tight, I was so scared that I yelled out: "You bastards, let me go!"

Constantly struggling made me tired, soon I didn't have the strength to curse anymore, I could only gasp and raise my eyes to watch them laugh. These people are clearly not much older than me, and yet being able to do such a thing, for the first time I became aware of the villain regardless of age.

After they laughed uncontrollably, someone started touching my body. My brain seemed to explode as if gaining strength, I bit the hand that was holding me tight and struggled to get out. But I don't run anymore, it's no use running, so I rush at the person who just insulted me.

He didn't have time to react and was easily pushed to the ground by me, now I don't want to think about the consequences anymore, I risked my life to hit that guy.

This is the first time I hit someone, and the action is so cruel that I don't even realize it... What else can I do, there is only one thought left in my mind: If he doesn't die, I will die.

I don't learn martial arts, the punching force is not strong, so I used my elbow to repeatedly hit his face and chest area. It must have been a shock, he didn't resist until his accomplices didn't feel well that he pulled me up.

I don't remember his tragedy, only that there was a lot of blood on my elbow. Under the dark night, my hearing should be sharp because my eyes should not be able to see clearly, but my ears are ringing.

Apparently, they cursed me again, before I could hear it clearly, I was punched in the face and fell to the ground. This feeling of helplessness is the same as when I fainted in class, suddenly I wanted to faint quickly, only fainting would not have to be painful.

That's what I wanted, but I couldn't faint causing the blows of heaven to hurt me. My mouth was numb, and I was completely speechless. Lying on the ground I dimly saw the person I hit just now, he had regained his senses and was walking towards me.

I thought to myself, this fruit is dead for sure, this is also the first time I've been so miserable… I'll admit that today I experienced a lot of new things.

He stood there looking at me for a moment, looking like he was probably looking for a place to land, then finally decided to kick me in the ribs with all his might. That kick made him stagger back a few steps, and it hurt so much that I bared my teeth and rolled my eyes.

This time I was bitten on my tongue, hot blood started to flow out of my mouth. It's a bit fishy and salty, and my sinuses feel nauseous.

Sand and dirt all over my face, randomly covering my eyes. I felt so uncomfortable, I tried to put my hand up to rub it, but when I couldn't, I was stepped on my hand. That person's leg was grinding against my arm as if he wanted to stand on it, I felt like my bones were about to break.

Then he lifted his leg, my arms stopped moving, desperately waiting for further torture. But no, I kept waiting but no one hit me anymore.

I was helped up by someone, vaguely feeling that I was being carried into the car. That's it, my life here is over, I've been kidnapped by them.

With no more reason for me to try to stay awake, I relaxed my mind, blinking into a coma.

I don't know how long it took for me to wake up again, I didn't open my eyes in a hurry but tried the feeling of my body. Initially not moving but still comfortable, then moving slightly, I felt the so-called heart-healing pain.

I'm really too tired, I just want to sleep more, sleep for as long as possible, until the pain stops and wakes up. Even so, I quickly chose to return to the fact that I had been kidnapped, I would not have known my condition if I didn't wake up.

In front of my eyes is a group of boys, the appearance is not very different from yesterday's people, just as expected, I am lying on the sofa, the wound is also bandaged. I thought, maybe these people beat me and felt so serious, so they bandaged me up?

Probably not, no matter how you think about it, it's not. How can any bad person have such free time?

"Oh, my litter girl is awake, you guys." One of them said.

"Do you hurt anywhere so I can rub it?" As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into laughter.

"It hurts everywhere, right? Come on, let's see-" He stopped talking halfway through. Maybe I know the reason, it's probably because the expression on my face is so horrible.

I'm not ugly, but it's so fierce right now causing everyone to be silent, including Sana

I was dumbfounded, wondering why Sana was here? But I didn't ask out in the end, my expression gradually calmed down, I knew Sana wouldn't do any harm. I looked at the clock, it was ten in the morning, and suddenly I thought about the fact that I hadn't turned off the lights when I left the house.

My parents weren't at home, so they wouldn't know what happened to me. I put my hands up and sat up, it really hurt but nothing too serious.

It's more than a week before my parents come back, I don't know if these wounds will heal in time.

Oh but, what if I don't go to school this morning and the teacher calls my father? Oh no, no matter what I have to call my dad in two hours.

“Um, Sana, why am I here?” Obviously, she knows my house, even if I am in a coma, I already have the key on me.

I involuntarily touched my pocket, finished it, lost the key. My eyes automatically blur the others, the whole space is now only Sana, so I don't know what others standing up for.

Sana gave the food bag in her hand to someone else, went to get a glass of water, and gave it to me. She said, "We can't take you home because we have some inconvenience right now."

Inconvenience? What's inconvenient, my house isn't that far away…

“Yesterday… you helped me?”

Sana sat down at the end of the chair, smiling shyly as she placed the glass of water on the table, only then did I realize that I forgot to take what she gave me. It's a bit embarrassing but this is not the main focus I need to focus on, why is she with those guys after all?

"I saw a lot of people beating a person, I thought they were dealing with each other internally, but when I got closer, I found out that it was you." At this point, her face froze, and asked me: "Why are you there, do you know that the place is famous for danger?"

It's true that I don't know, no one would have thought that a shy person like me would come to that dark place. I assumed it was my fault, so I replied timidly: “I just wanted to go for a walk,…”

“Then why are you there?” Seeing how she was startled, I was also startled, I didn't think I just suddenly asked such a simple question that she reacted so loudly.

Very quickly she replied: "I have some work to do, but from now on, don't go out alone at night, it's dangerous."

Looking at her appearance, she probably doesn't want to answer, and I'm not the type of person who likes to pry into other people's affairs so I'll stop asking.

“So the others help me too?” Seeing her nod, I looked at the others. There were both men and women, they were cleaning the house and cooking. The room in general was not very large, and there was only one main door, it seemed that they shared this place. Or maybe there are more rooms outside and this is just one of them?

I don't know, just know that the physical conditions here are not very good.

"Thanks," I told them all.

For me, a thank you is not too heavy, but they find it a bit funny, some people even laugh without hesitation. They probably won't listen to my words, that's okay, I just thank them for my gratitude.

Even though I was angry at them just now, is that entirely my fault? It was they who made fun of me first.

I know they're annoying, but if someone asked me if I ever intended to kill them all, I wouldn't hesitate to say yes.

From what I experienced last night, I know that I cannot forgive anyone who harms me. Really, if it wasn't for them to help me yesterday, I might not be able to wake up completely now.

And I also determined that the people who helped me didn't mean they could harm me.

I became confused again. Should I apologize to them now?

After that, people didn't seem to pay attention to me so I decided not to talk anymore, anyway, my words never have any weight, not saying a sentence or two won't affect anyone.

Seeing people busy working makes me feel quite familiar, always, no matter how busy I try to be, I am still the freest person.
