I've been here for two days, and my entire body is weakening due to the repeated lashings and pouring of alcohol on me. I'm struggling, but I can't give up. How can I achieve my goal if I surrender so easily? I'm just looking for a way to escape. Once I leave this place, I'll make sure they all pay.
Despite my weakened state, I tried to remove the ropes from my hands when I suddenly remembered I had a knife tucked in my pants pocket. I reached for my pocket, even though it was difficult, and as soon as I got the knife, I quickly cut the ropes on my hands. I followed my feet, stood up, and looked around the room where I was held captive. There was only a small window in this room, so despite my weakness, I stepped on the chair they tied me to and twisted my body to fit through the window hole. Once I jumped out of this room, I ran into the forest. They sent me to a forest. I just kept running, despite the pain and the sting of my wounds. I need to survive because it's not my time yet.
In third person point of view:
"Hey, any updates on why you still haven't hacked our princess's location? Something might have happened to her by now!" shouted the companion of the woman searching for their princess. They've been searching for days, but they can't find her, wherever the kidnappers took her.
"D*mn it, it's not easy, you try being here and see!" replied her frustrated companion. Both of them sighed.
"It's been two days, and I'm worried about what might have happened to her..." the woman said, teary-eyed.
"Don't worry, let's trust our princess; I know she's strong and won't allow herself to die."
"Tch... you're just too slow; if something happens to Kairhara, I'll blame you."
"Tse, just shut up!"
"Young lady and Master, any news? Have you found the Young lady's whereabouts?" Butler Kin asked, having just returned from searching for his boss.
"Not yet, Butler. My system is having difficulty tracking her location," replied the Master.
"Your brain might be malfunctioning, Keys," someone who just arrived suddenly asked. They all turned and were surprised by the person they saw.
"What the hell? Is that really you, Kairhara?" Keys, her friend, asked.
"Can't you tell, Keys? It seems not only your brain weakened; even your eyesight is affected, tch..."
"You're so philosophical... Dave, hurry, call the private doctor!" Keys ordered his friend, ignoring Kairhara. She just went to the kitchen to get something to eat.
"Yes, okay!" Dave said and made the call.
"The doctor is on the way,"
"Good. Kairhara, lie down and rest."
"I'm still eating, and it's not my time to rest, tch..." the girl philosophized, smiling at them as she sat down to eat. "Remember, bad weeds take a long time to die."
"I don't know if I should feel sorry for you or get annoyed. You're so philosophical!" her friend said, annoyed.
"Young Lady, are you okay? Who took you? Just give the order, and I'll take revenge for you!"
"I'm fine, and you don't need to get involved. I'll handle them myself..." Kairhara said with a smile. Shortly after, the doctor arrived, treated her wounds, and put her to sleep to let her battered body rest."
Five days have passed since I escaped. My condition is much better now, and my wounds have healed. I returned to school today and stopped by the cafeteria as I hadn't eaten breakfast. Suddenly, Clarence appeared in front of me like a nuisance.
"Hello, Miss Konaide! How are you?" he asked, walking alongside me. "I'm totally good," I replied, annoyed by the noise around us. Clarence noticed the wound on my face and inquired about it.
"Nothing," I responded. Shadow and the others joined us, and I couldn't shake them off. They asked about my absence from school, but I ignored them. I bought some food in the cafeteria and sat down, yet they all gathered in front of me. Irritated, I glared at them, wanting to be alone.
"What happened to you, Konaide? You've been absent for days," Shadow asked. "Nothing, and if anything did happen, Mr. Winstone, it's none of your business!" I sarcastically replied. Irritated, I stood up to leave, and as I was about to go, Shadow held my hand, creating a strange feeling in my heart.
"What?" I asked, annoyed, pulling my hand away. "I want you—" Shadow began but was interrupted by his friends' laughter. Irritated, I rejected him and left the cafeteria. On my way, I bumped into Mondragon, who teased me about being alive.
"Why? You scared?" I teased back. Mondragon approached, pulled my hair, and insulted me. Unfazed, I retorted, and when he attempted to slap me, I punched him in the stomach. I left with a warning, planning to make him pay for what he did.
Feeling lazy to attend class, I decided to cut it and went to the garden. I climbed up and lay down to sleep, not caring if I failed. I could always catch up.
