Temi still couldn't comprehend the fact that she had gone deaf all of a sudden.
She had gone to sleep hearing perfectly well...
What's with the changes all of a sudden...?
Temi couldn't help but wonder to herself as she looked around for the person in black.
When she raised her head up to look at the person, the person had disappeared.
'Odd...!' Temi frowned as she thought to herself.
Suddenly the lights went out.
Temi's eyes widened in the dark, but she couldn't see anything.
"Hey, who turned the lights out...!" Temi couldn't hear herself, but she knew she had screamed that.
Although, the entire room was lighted out, Temi managed to get up to her feet.
She couldn't hear a thing...
That's when it came to her mind to check her ear.
Raising her hand to her right ear, Temi's finger lightly brushed the pinnae of her ear...
But there was nothing there.
Bringing her hand down, Temi subconsciously raised her hand again and with a mind of it's own, went into the external auditory of her ear, but was obstructed by something...
Temi's eyes bulged a bit as her mind snapped.
Something was in her ear!
But she didn't have the time to figure out what it was because the lights came back on, and through the mirror, she could see a person dressed in black standing right behind her, and heaving heavily.
The person was huge...
Temi maintained a clm face so as to not do something on impulse, but inwardly, she was a bit shaken.
'Where did this guy come from...?' She couldn't help but ask herself.
As she couldn't hear herself, she resigned to talking within herself...
As she stared at the guy through the mirror without moving, the guy from behind also did the same.
But that wasn't for long as he took one step towards her and slowly began moving in her direction...
When he took one step, Temi gasped lightly.
Watching his steps from the mirror, Temi was careful as she turned to face him.
But as she turned, the lights went off.
"Oh shit...!" Temi knew she said.
All of a sudden, she felt something hit her in the gut resulting to her falling to the floor.
Feeling a huge hand around her neck, she was lifted up from the ground and head-butted...
Temi could feel her entire body go numb as she felt her body hit the ground.
Wincing in pain, Temi had one hand around her gut area and the other on her head...
Due to her unpreparedness, the pain got into her.
She could feel the pain in her head increase...
And as if something was blocking her ear.
She could feel something blocking the flow of air into her ear.
Reaching out her hand to her ear, she felt something grab her by the leg and then bringing her up to his or her shoulder, the person ran her into the door of the toilet stall...
When the lights came back on, Temi could see the person reached out for his or her ear.
She could only see the person's lips moving but no words were being heard by Temi.
Temi's eyesight was blur and get body weak due to the tossing around...
Soon afterwards, Temi saw the person leave.
She knew that it all was a plan work.
Raising her head up only slightly, Temi couldn't keep her head steady and soon therefore, it met with the floor again.
The pain within her was too much, her chest was heaving up and down uncontrollably.
'Why am I heaving like this...? It's not the first time I'm being in a fight...!'
Frowning, Temi thought to herself
Feeling herself sigh, Temi winced a little as she stared up at the ceiling.
Had she offended anybody...?
Was she being hunted...?
If she was, by whom...?
And what was the God-damned reason...?
Thinking of something, Temi frowned her brows.
Had the spirits from her ascentry been following her...?
Had she done anything wrong that they had to wait till when she was finally independent before they had decided to attack her...?
How thoughtful...!
For God sake, they were on a plane!
Couldn't they have at least waited for the plane to land first before starting a commotion?
They had elders on the plane for crying out loud...!
Elders...!
The old woman...!
Temi's eyes popped open when she realized that.
Giving the ceiling one more look, Temi managed to sit upright, leaning her back against the wall.
"God...!" Temi could feel her lips move, but she couldn't hear herself still.
"Who did I offend...?" She couldn't help but ask that question to herself and in her head, but ignorant to the fact that her thoughts were audible...
When she found a suitable sitting position, with her hand still around her gut, Temi could feel the pain reaching into every part of her body.
Moving her back from side to side, Temi couldn't help but feel restless.
Her head felt like bursting...
She could feel the veins around her head breathing...
Her head was already swollen.
Slowly reaching her hand down to her ear, Temi felt something hard.
Pulling it out, Temi found it to be an ear plug.
As soon as she removed the ear plugs...
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!" Temi would have sworn her brain would have bursted if it hadn't been for her hands.
As soon as she heard that scream, Temi subconsciously wore back the ear plugs as she also used her hands to block her ears despite the aid of the ear plugs...
The scream was earsplitting.
Managing to get up on her feet, Temi used her hand to support herself.
Reaching out for her other ear, Temi found it that it was both her ears that had been blocked.
Removing both ear plugs from her ears, Temi heard footsteps.
Turning her head in the direction of the steps, Temi found tye person had returned.
The person had some ropes in his hand.
When he came to the stall where Temi was, he found her to be sitting up, with her hand ok her gut area and her hand on the floor, close to something.
Looking beside her, at at where her hand lied, he saw the ear plugs close to her hand.
Slowly raising his eyes, he met with Temi's.
Temi was glaring back at the person...
Narrowing his eyes down at Temi, the person lowered his eyes down to her arm, afterward, slowly returned it back up.
Likewise Temi...
Watching his eyes trail down her arm, Temi watched the movement of his hand.
It slowly went straight to his belt.
Pulling out something, the person threw something onto the floor causing a large smoke to engulf the enclosed area.
Getting up as fast as she could and ignoring the pain in her gut, Temi stealthily stepped on the seat of the toilet and had herself balanced on the stall of the toilet as she used her hand to cover her nose.
Watching the person from above the stall bar, Temi could see the person pulling out a gun as he made for where she had stood...
Clearing a path as he made his way towards where Temi had been standing, the person camouflaged in black pulled out a gun as he pointed it around, but there was no one standing there...
Confused, the person turned on his laser goggles, but still didn't see the victim.
Slowly lowering his hand in which the gun was, the person took off the laser goggles and scanned through the room thoroughly.
When he didn't catch sight of anybody, he placed across phone call with ear device in his ear.
"...Hello Boss...!" Temi could hear her attacker respond.
"...No, I had her, but now she disappeared...!" Temi's attacker said.
Temi couldn't hear what the other person on the phone had said, but she was certain that it had to with her.
"No, I...!"
There was a long pause on the side of the assassin, but Temi didn't have her guard down just yet...
After sometime, Temi heard;
"The ropes weren't with me, so I went out go and get them...!"
And then silence reigned again.
Temi sensed something was off.
She could see his grip around his weapon tightened slowly as he slowly returned his other hand to his side.
Slowly raising his head up, the person found a figure well balanced on top of the stall bar as she watched him.
Raising his gun up, the person aimed at Temi.
Narrowing her eyes with a slight frown, Temi jumped backwards down into the other stall.
______________________________________________
As the assassin threw the tear gas onto the floor, Temi got up as she fast as she could and jumped to the top of the stall and steadied herself on top it as she watched him below.
From above she could watch as the person pointed his gun in the direction she had been before.
She was careful not to make a sound.
Pointing the gun here and there, Temi could see him turn on his laser goggles.
Soon later, she saw him place a call across to someone through the an ear device...
When the person picked up, the guy was silent for a while.
As soon as his mouth open, Temi had a thought.
His boss...
Temi assumed.
"...Hello Boss...!"
And she was correct...
