As Kairhara walked, having cut class again, she felt someone trailing her. Ignoring it, she continued walking until she stopped upon realizing people were following her. As she pulled out her gun, a shot came from behind, and she felt dizzy. The gun contained a syringe with a sedative.
"Annoying..." she whispered as her vision blurred, and she collapsed.
"Alright, take her!" the man said, and his accomplices carried Kairhara, placing her in a van and blindfolding her.
The man immediately called their boss to inform him of Kairhara's capture.
"Good, make sure she doesn't escape!" the boss instructed.
The one who took Kairhara grinned, "Finally..." he muttered, laughing loudly.
*Kairhara's POV*
I woke up to a sharp pain and realized someone was whipping me. My body ached, but I endured the pain, knowing it couldn't compare to what I went through before. I saw the person wielding the whip—a familiar face. Since then, I never really trusted him, knowing that one day his true colors would show. What did he think, that I'd easily fall for his tricks?
"Hi, Miss, how are you? Does it hurt?" he asked, so I just grinned. He hit me again when I remained silent. It hurt, I'm not a robot; I can feel pain. I just chose not to respond to their pointless questions.
"Hi Konaide, miss me?" Mondragon asked, approaching and stabbing me in the arm. I endured the pain, no matter how much it hurt. I could handle anything for the sake of the justice I sought.
"Hi, bestie, how are you? Does it hurt?" my supposed friend asked. Acting so innocent, pretending to be my friend. Laughing loudly, "You're so weak! Didn't you realize I wasn't really your friend? Hahaha, did I surprise you?" he taunted. I wasn't surprised; I knew his true nature long ago. I resisted the urge to kill him back then, just going along with his schemes.
I was hit with the whip again, but I restrained myself from showing any reaction.
*Keysel's POV*
Kairhara is such a fool, thinking she could outsmart me. Dubbed the Devil Princess, what would think she'd be more cunning. She fell for my childish games, but it served my purpose. She didn't immediately realize she was being played. I may be childish, but at least I avenged my brother's death. Because of her, I'm left alone. Losing my brother was like losing a part of me. It's that feeling of being crippled, ever since he left. Now, I want her dead. For my brother's peace, I've been patient, waiting for this day. This is the day when I can unleash all the anger on her.
I whipped her, but she remained unresponsive, seemingly numb. Was that how she felt when she killed my brother, without remorse? I got angrier at her lack of reaction. "You beast! You're worthless! Die already! You killed my only brother, didn't you feel any pity? You monster!" I shouted, this time shedding tears. I couldn't help but remember the pain I went through when my brother died. She's to blame for everything.
"Harmen Andeta, he's my brother you killed! Do you remember now?" I asked angrily, hitting her repeatedly. But she just grinned.
"Harmen who? I really don't remember anything... And besides, I don't need to remember them," she said, grinning. I got even angrier at her response.
"Bastard! You're so stubborn!" I shouted, Skyper had to stop me.
"Enough, Cobra, Boss is here!" Skyper said, so I halted. I'll deal with her later; I'll make her feel all the pain she inflicted on me.
Boss entered, grinning when he saw Kairhara. "Hi, my dear, Konaide! Did you enjoy your time here? Have some fun; my pets are your playmates..." he said, laughing. Kairhara seemed indifferent. "Phwe! Your pets are boring, tch..." she coldly replied, grinning. Honestly, she's terrifying. Even with all of us, she still has the audacity.
*Kairhara pov*
I grinned at the person in front of me, realizing that they were the mastermind behind everything. Finally, this was the day I needed to hold them accountable for the evil deeds they've done. While they were speaking, I just smirked. But the truth is, I'm already hurt by what they're saying. I want to kill them; they just have too many accomplices, and I'm tied up. I won't act recklessly.
"Do you know, dear? I was so happy when I killed your parents," they said and laughed. I was seething; I wanted them gone from this world. Patience was all I could muster amid the pain and the desire to kill the person in front of me. Everything I gained is worthless compared to the wounds I've endured.
"I even fooled your two siblings; they were so foolish to get involved, tch. It's good that they died too."
