"Uh-uhhh..." i tried to speak, but i was shaken like a wet puppy in the rain
"I'm sorry about earlier"
I whimpered
But he had already started the car and drove for nearly 80 mph in an instant
My body was in pure stasis from the terror
It was fear of the uncertainty
I didn't know what he was gonna do to me
"It's nothing. Forget all of that"
I held on to the dark leather of the seat
"S-stop!" I managed to throat out
Nothing happened.
Maybe he didn't hear me?
Maybe he's ignoring me.
"What is going on!" I yelled
"Relax honey, it'll only take a moment"
I had no idea what that meant, but my heart and mind was already determined to escape.
"Your Kyouri Kuma, right?" He said
"Too bad, such a charming girl like you..."
He suddenly pulled out a gun from a little pocket under his chair and loaded...
1...
2...
3...
Three bullets into his revolver.
I panicked and quickly banged the window to break it, even kicked the door.
I screamed, banging the window
"It's no use honey, just stay still."
I screamed my lungs out, tears rolling down my cheeks.
"You know, i never wanted to do this. But i really have to"
He turned from his seat and faced me
He leaned in. Closer, and closer.
H held out his hand,
held my chin
and slowly kissed my forehead
"Sorry" he whispered
I was so still
I felt so calm.
I felt...
I felt freedom.
He placed the gun at my forehead, but i felt no fear.
I was ready to die, but it was against me. The feeling of acceptance.
I refused to accept it, yet my soul wantd to. It succumbed.
He pulled the trigger, an ear-piercing bang put the entire car to a stop
The lion jumped off his seat
The entire front of the car was missing
"Who did this!?"
he sighed
"Nonetheless, i still have to kill her"
A tall figure quickly appeared infront of the Lion, grabbing hold of his gun
It was another one of his kind.
"I'm sorry, who are you killing?" The figure spoke, somehow of the same accent of that lion.
He turned around and looked at my direction
I saw his face. A silver husky with a gaze so sharp it nearly pierce right through me.
He was a towering 7 feet tall man with an athletic physique from neck to toe.
"Let go of the gu " The lion said, his hand trembling from the equal strength of the opponent's hand
"And who is that pretty lady you got in the back?" He smiled
"It's none of your buissness!"
He shrugged the beast's hand off and pointed the gun at me
once more
"Now, hold it" The gray haired husky plugged the hole of the gun with his finger
"Move" The lion calmly spoke
"Are you two going out?" he laughed
The lion sighed
He clenched his fist and punched the man on the jaw, knocking him aback.
The lion pointed the gun towards me once again
He pulled the trigger and a loud bang echoed throught the highway. Everyone seemed to stop to look at the scene they've caused
I felt my body with my hands. Fortunately there wasn't any hole, no blood dripping.
I was still alive and breathing.
Yet again i was unusually calm.
"So then... who got-" i wondered to myself
The lion actually missed, but now his face was dripping blood down from his mouth
"Drat!" The lion hastily pinned the man to the ground and punched him, but missed.
Hitting the hard cement instead.
The husky had moved his head away before a blow could ever land on him. Small craters appeared on the road from every punch he had tried to give.
He roared, and in his rage he clenched his fist as tight as he could that veins started to streak across his arm
"I'll kill you!"
He roared, his fist grew aflame. But from the speed of how the husky was moving, it was almost impossible for him to land even a finger
He readied his fist again, and again.
The road trembled after countless numbers of miss-hits by the enraged lion.
The citizens around us quickly took out their cam-glasses and phones and started recording
After a few seconds my head slowly started to clear up. The haziness slowly started to fade.
The fatigue of my consciousness from fighting an unwanted death felt a bit lighter
I then ofcourse had to run for dear life.
Quickly getting out of the car, i sprinted away as far as possible from the fight
"You got in my way. It's just what you get"
The lion said, the gray colored beast lied on the ground, paralyzed
"I'm sorry. I didn't really wanna hurt you" the lion patted the huskie's arm
"But ofcourse, i'll forgive you. Like always" He smiled
"Now, i'm sorry Philly but i have to finish off somethinf"
He opens the car only to find nothing
He stood still and stared blankly
"Well, i guess she had better things to do" the husky chuckled, patting dust off his shirt
"Crap!"
The lion yelled at the top of his lungs with his eyes glowing gold and pounced at the beast, raining him with blows. Dragging him up across the wall of the building as debris came raining down on panicking citizens.
"You've already killed us all!" The lion threw him on the floor of the rooftop of a skyscraper. Banged him against the floor, clenching his fist once again and grabbing the husky by his neck sleeve. He was all bruised and his fur stained in blood.
He punched him
a multipletimes, until he had slowly grew weary and had tears streaming down his face.
"If you could have just let me kill her, we could have saved millions."
He sniffed, streaks of tears dropped down his chin.
He clenched his fist once again, but he couldn't find anymore wraith in his heart to do so. He dropped his hand.
"And maybe...
...maybe i could have saved you too."
He sobbed
"If you could have just let me..."
"What are you talking about?" The husky breathed havily
"You're killing me right now"
The lion sees his own fist, shaking and covered in blood. He stared at his hand in fear.
He lets go of the husky's sleeve.
Silence went throughout the rooftop of the building, and nothing but the soft breeze of the spring sky
"I don't know what to do at this point"
The lion wiped away his tears
The husky stood up and offered a hand.
"You okay?" He asked. Taking his hand and patted the dust off his pants
"That's my line. I'm fine" he looked down
"You sure can take a good beating" The lion wrapped his arms around him
"Yeah, these injuries are gonna take me a month to heal"
He laughed, rubbing the lion's back and embracing him back
"You always find everything funny even though you're getting your ass kicked.
You're really taking these kind of things too lightly."
He sniffed
"That recklessness is going to kill you someday."
"Well, i'm not dead yet, am i?" He replied
"You're still young. You'll get to that point when you're older. Somehow"
