Chapter Twenty-four

Sheena
Alicia and I went towards the benches that were covered with the shade of tall trees. The boys could see me, but I knew that they could not see Alicia because she was already a spirit. I am not totally afraid of what these boys can do to me, because Alicia can make them disappear in just a second after pointing her finger at them.
One of the boys pointed his finger to me and said, "Bros, look at the girl, she looked beautiful and rich."
Though we are still far from them, I can already hear their voices that seem to be fighting, and they are fighting because of me.
The boy who was not wearing shirt said, "She is so beautiful, I want to taste her." Well, I don't care if he has a beautiful body; what I do care about is that he might meet Mr. Death.
"Hey, don't snatch her from me, she is mine," another boy said.
What kind of boys are they? I am not a food item that they are quarrelling about. It seemed that they are not just smokers but want to commit sexual assault, but I will make sure that they cannot touch even the tips of my fingers. They also walked towards us. I don't know what they are thinking, but it seems that these boys cannot think of good things to do. I can sense that they have a dark plan, as their faces also looked like addicts taking illegal drugs.
"Hello miss beautiful, can I know your name?" one of the boys said as he approached me. He blew smoke from his mouth.
"Kick him now," Alicia whispered on my ear.
Because I don't want him to fight against me, I kick him with all my strength in the center of his thigh.
"Ahh-hawww!" He exclaimed.
I mistook and underestimated myself, because when I kicked the boy, not only did his cigarette fly away, but he also tumbled and dropped down on the concrete road while holding the center of his thigh. The other boys do not help him; instead, they clap their hands. Maybe they are thinking that I am just playing, but they don't know that I can benefit from this play.
"That is what you get from being rude, bro. Is it painful to you?" The boy removed that black hat from his head. I saw that he looked like a handsome actor that I saw in a movie. He is just a little younger than the actor. He had short, dark brown hair, hard facial lines, and a thick, bow-shaped hair between his lips and a high, pointed nose with two perfectly shaped holes. His thick, black eyebrows, brown skin, and average height are all he has.
"Come on, who's next?" I asked. "You boys fight me!"
"You are just a girl. We will become hermaphrodites if we fight you. A girl like you deserves to be loved and not hurt—like what you want," he said.
"If you are really a male, then fight me. If you are afraid to fight and defeat me, then you are gay, so fight me if you don't want to be called 'gay,'" I replied.
"Oh! though we don't want to fight against a weak girl like you, we also don't want others to step on our personality, right bro?" he said.
"You are right, bro. Show her what you can do."
"If I can defeat you, you will be mine all night, but if you can defeat me, then I will let you do anything that you want, deal?" he asked.
"Deal, but if I can defeat you, will you let me do anything that I want to do with you and also with your colleagues?"
"Deal, but if I can defeat you, we will make you a viand tonight, we will havoc your entirety, outside and inside, so be prepared because we won't let you go as long as we are not satisfied."
My heart is throbbing so loudly that I can hear it by myself, but I know that I don't need to worry about anything because I know that even if I am defeated by this boy, there are still many things to escape from him, especially knowing that Alicia is willing to help me at anytime.
"Don't worry Sheena, just enjoy and consider this as a game. You don't need to defeat that boy. What you only need to do is to kill them all in any way," Alicia walked towards the flat stone on the roadside and sat down on it. She seemed to want to watch how I would fight this boy. I don't want to disappoint her, so I will do my best to defeat these boastful boys.
After we dealt, the boys on the other side of the road tapped the back part of their representative's shoulder, then he went towards the center of the road. He raised his hand, looked at me seriously, and told me to go near him. I removed my parka and only wore my purple shirt, denim jeans and pink sneakers. I stretched my arms and legs as a warm-up. It would be better if I did a warm-up before fighting with this boy. The other boys were sitting on the big root of a tree on the other side of the road. They looked like dogs that were spatting while looking at me.
I went towards the boy and prepared for the punch that he wanted to release. I am not looking anywhere, but at the hands and feet of the boy, so that I can avoid his attacks. Even just by looking at his body, with perfect muscles on his abdomen and chest, I knew that he was also strong. He is not only a normal boy, because he is more mature than I thought.
He suddenly made an intermittent joggling motion, but he did not release a punch. I know that a boy like him is just underestimating what I can do, but I will do my best to fight him and prove him wrong. Because he did not release a punch, I released a punch, but he avoided it, and pushed me back. He was so quick and strong that I did not see his hand when he punched me again in the face. I can feel the pain in my face. I realized that it was not easy. If you don't know the movements of other people, you can definitely feel pain from their sudden movements.
The sweat of the boy is now diffusing around his body and mine also. After many times that the boy has punched my face, I am sure that it has turned red now. I could not even hit him, because every time I was about to punch him back, he was avoiding it. I never thought that this would happen. There is nothing that I can do now but accept that I am defeated by this boy. Until there is something that comes to my mind, maybe I can use it to see what his next move is and not be hit by his strong punch. The power of my vision. I focus myself on it, telling my eyes to show me the next move of this boy.
Alicia was right, because if you believe that you can, everything around you will conspire to help you to make something impossible happen. I can now see what will happen next. I saw that I would be defeated because of this boy, and it showed me his moves, so it came to my mind to defend all his movements so that he could not defeat me this time. It was so nice that I can now change what will happen in my future by telling my vision to show it to me. I am sure that this time I will not make any wrong decisions again, like what I did before.
When he tried to kick me, I had avoided it, and every punch that he released, he hit the air. Because I was also punching and kicking back after him, his face received many punches and developed a red tinge. Until I kicked him in the center of his thigh, which made him stop fighting against me. It sent him flying upward and plummeted towards the other side of the road where the boys were sitting. Their eyes turned big when they saw their colleagues who were lying on the ground and seemed out of consciousness.
I screamed in my brain. I had changed my fate! I went towards Alicia and put my parka back on, though it was so warm here. We go towards the boys who look sad because they have been defeated by just a little girl who they had underestimated her capability.
"Kill them now. I sensed that you have a plan that you have not followed. Kill them, because they are planning to escape from you."
"But I don't know how, I don't want to put blood on my hands, they might also fight back," I complained.
"Don't let your weakness win against you. Did you see that big stick on the ground below that tree?"
"Yeah, I saw it, so what should I do to that big stick?"
"You are so clever to ask me back what we are going to do with that big stick. Get it and use to kill these boys," Alicia replied.
It seemed that Alicia had become my boss, and I was just following her orders. Well, I cannot blame her because I had entered into this kind of situation where the most powerful person is considered the boss. I've realized that if I become more powerful than Alicia, I won't need her assistance. Now, I need to withstand what Alicia is telling me to do because it could help me become stronger in doing my next mission, which seems to be more difficult than this one.
I go towards the boys while holding the big stick. They seemed curious about why I was going towards them with this stick. Until it happened that they guessed what I was going to do. They tried to elude but surprisingly, they were unable to move from their positions. It seemed that there was a strong force that was freezing them, because their faces showed that they were trying hard to move. It was Alicia who was performing her dark magic again and making these boys stop moving. I know that she is the only one who can perform magic like this. She is really powerful.
"What are you going to do? Please don't continue your plan if it is bad," one of the boys said.
"Kill them now!" Alicia half-shouted. I know that nobody can hear her voice because I am the only one who can see and hear her.
"Please don't hurt us, please show some mercy!" the boy said.
"Sheena! Kill them now, so that the curse wont attack you. You need to kill them because the curse will definitely attack you this time," Alicia said.
One of the boys shouted: "Please don't kill us, we are too young. If you kill us, you will regret it forever!"
"Don't listen to them; the curse will be the one to kill them. You won't do it by yourself!" Alicia shouted.
G*ddammit! How can I decide if there is too much noise that I can hear? I raised the stick and prepared to strike the boy, when he shouted again, he had not finished his words as I stroked him many times on his head and he totally turned flabby.
I kick him and go towards the next boy. I saw that there were many drops of liquid that were coming out of his black eyes. He looked innocent regardless of the vices that he was performing. He has high eyelashes, thick eye brows, brown skin, short hair, and lips that turn purplish-black because of smoking. Maybe he is the most quiet boy among these boys, but though he was not saying a word, his face was telling me that he did not want to die.
There were no more things that I should do but finish what I had started, so I did not let Alicia shout at me again. I stroked the boy many times on his skull and neck. Even though he felt pain, he did not say anything. He just died without saying a word.
The next boy that is going to meet death is the boy with the same appearance of the actor that I saw once in the movie, but whatever he looks like, there's just one thing that will definitely happen. He will certainly say goodbye to this world. His life lies in my hands, but my life also lies in his life. I don't care anymore if other people judge me that I don't have any sympathy for others.
Alicia does not know the thing that I really want to do. She just brought me here without asking me if I really wanted to go here. Next time, I won't let her decide the people that I want to kill. I will get to know more about some before bringing them to death, because sometimes, though people look bad, it is just their looks and not their hearts that kind to others. Next time I don't want to be in a dilemma, I will use the power of my vision to know who I want to kill.
