The man looks on helplessly as the small blade descends towards his nether region. His mind is in total chaos, and he feels total regret.
He thinks to himself, "He should not have followed his acquaintances to stake out girls nor underestimate the girls because of how young they looked. He should have changed his ways and cherished the chance given to him to change his life, and he should have just taken the chance to reach the rendezvous point". For this man, these are all fleeting thoughts because he knows that there's no turning back time, and there's no medicine for regret. Fortunately, for him though, he looses consciousness as the blade reaches its intended target.
Aisha scoffs when she notices that the target has lost consciousness, and in a chillingly cold voice that doesn't mirror a ten year old kid, she quietly murmurs, " spineless coward!"
And with no hesitation whatsoever in her movement, she moves her knife, slightly, and stabs towards the man's chest and through his heart❤️ , instantly taking his miserable life.
A moment of silence pass by. Aisha could feel the stares directed at her, but can sense no threat from those stares, so she concludes that it's probably people that she knows, thus, she reverts her attention back to the dead body, she thinks back to what could have occurred had she not acted fast, what could have happened had the victims not underestimated them.
The thought of the sickening act is enough to make her pull out the blade, and then to continuously keep stabbing at the body. Thrusting the knife a couple more times into the body, she halts for a bit to catch her breath. Just as she's about to start thrusting again though, she hears a soft voice behind her calling out her name.
"Aisha!"
Aisha stops her thrust midway, startled, she looks back to see Bry and the others standing about 10 meters from where she is, staring at her.
Staring blankly for a few seconds, Aisha remember the situation she's in, she looks at her teammates, their stares seems to contain shock, and not horror, at the situation.
"Why are they not horrified?' she asks herself, "I am a monster."
"Why is it that I only see the shock on their faces?" she muses to herself.
Aisha glance down, at the corpse and her bloody self, then gazes back to the others, She tilts her head slightly to the side, feeling tremendously confused.
------
Meanwhile, the boys are staring at the bloodied little girl in shock. They knew that she was strong but they didn't know that she was strong enough to take on two full-grown men. The boys already saw one man lying dead, close by, so with one girl standing there, looking dazed, while two of the girls are sprawling on the ground, they concluded that it was Aisha who took out the other man as well.
When the boys come back to themselves, they see Aisha staring back at them looking frightened and lost. This look saddens Bry so much that he tears up a little. He looks towards the other boys and then at the girls on the ground, a clear signal to check on them.
The boys understand his meaning. Tyler moves to the dazed girl 'side, whose eyes are as round as a Barbie doll due to terror, to help her. Dread fills Eli as he moves towards Selana, who is lying on the ground, he lets out a huge sigh when he nears her and sees her chest moving up and down, he is thankful that she is alive, she just fainted. Jonah (The captain) and Alex go to the other fallen girl, praying that she's ok, only to find that the girl is long dead, with blood soaking the ground. He looks towards the others as he shakes his head, indicating that she's dead. Grief and remorse fills the boys, plus the two girls but they all compose themselves, understanding that this is their reality now.
Bry walks to Aisha 'side, softly calling out her name,
"Aisha"
The girl doesn't reply or move.
He notices that she is looking at him but her stare is blank, she seems far away. Bry moves near her, his heart feels heavy that tears pools down his eyes, he crouches down, grazes her cheek with his fingers as he softly calls out, thrice,
"Aisha, Aisha, Aisha."
It seems like Aisha hears her name on his third try, because she gains back focus to directly stare at Bry. She stares at him for a few agonizing seconds, looking like she's searching for something in his eyes. Once she finds what she is searching for, she tears up as she softly cries out Bry's name.
Bry hugs her when he hears her calling out to him. He hugs her so tight and then says,
"I'm sorry Aisha, I am so sorry."
He wishes she didn't have to go through what she had gone through, killing those men, but he knows that's an impossible wish, so he can only apologize for what she went through, and for what she will go through with, in the future and just be there for her.
All she says is, " it is what it is."
They stay like that for a couple of minutes, then they compose themselves. Aisha looks at the three dead bodies, then she looks away with heartache, she lets out a sigh as she looks at everyone, wanting to see their condition. She finds that one person is missing so she turns to Jonah, asking,
" Captain, where is Solo?"
