Chereads / Mekolan: A place with no Freedom / Chapter 10 - Mikaela's backstory

Chapter 10 - Mikaela's backstory

Mikaela lived a poor life. She barely had any food and drinkable water. All the water around her was sewage. Rats will crawl up the pipes of their home. Thousands of ants will be seen every second. Mikaela's family lived in a 1 apartment home. Getting an apartment even if it's 1 room was the best start to the poor in Mekolan.

Despite living in a poor environment and lying on the floor, filthy, Mikaela was very happy with her life. She had her father, mother and her younger brother, Jayden. At first. She only wanted them in her life.

When her parents leave for work, Mikaela and Jayden will play with the rats and the ants in their home.

"Let's see which rat is the fastest!" Jayden said talking to Mikaela with excitement holding mouldy cheese in his hand and the other holding his rat.

Mikaela laughed and said, "OKAY! But I'm gonna win!" Jayden shrugged and said, "LETS SEE ABOUT THAT!" and they put their mouldy cheese at the other end of the room and the other end is where the rats are gonna chase the cheese.

"Ready… Steady…. GOO!" Mikaela and Jayden let go of their rats and their rats started to chase the cheese.

"COME ON TOODIE! YOU CAN DO IT!" Jayden said. Tapping the floor and signalling his rat to the mouldy cheese.

"COME ON JAY YOU CAN DO IT YOU CAN RUN FASTER THAN TOODIE!" Mikaela said, tapping on the floor.

Suddenly, the door sprung open and their parents came running with a sack of coins. Jayden and MIkaela looked at each other and jumped up from the floor. The rats ran away as fast as they could. Jayden was horrified and hid behind Mikaela. Mikaela hugged Jayden telling him it would be alright and slowly walked towards her parents.

"What happened-" as soon as MIkaela said that, her parents grabbed her and pushed her in front and they said, "TAKE HER TAKE HER PLEASE JUST LEAVE US ALONE!" horrified, Mikaela stumbled and fell on her knees.

"What?" Mikaela said to herself, utteredly betrayed by her parents. "What did you say?" Mikaela firmly said to her parents.

"TAKE HER JUST TAKE HER PLEASE SPARE US! YOU CAN TAKE HIM TOO!" Their parents said and they grabbed Jayden and he started screaming at the top of his lungs.

"NO PLEASE NO MOMMY, DADDY!" Jayden screamed trying to ungrip his father's grip from him. Mikalea snapped. She stood up like a bolt of lightning and ran towards them. Mikaela punched her father and said, "DO NOT TOUCH HIM!"

As soon as she said that, footsteps could be heard. It was a tall man, with black hair, green eyes and a very distinct deep voice. He uttered, "Well, it looks like your own parents love themselves more than their own children?" He giggled.

"I bet you poor dumbass doesn't know that humans cost more than cars" He said. He looked at Mikaela hiding Jayden behind her. He walked closer to them and Mikaela was keeping her cool and pushed Jayden away from him.

"Protecting your family, how cute. Too bad, because your parents took something that is mine. And all of you are gonna pay." He looks at Jayden and grabs his hand.

Mikaela screamed, "NO!" And pulled Jayden towards her. Jayden started screaming at the top of his lungs. He started to cry out of fear and tried to resist the force of the man.

The man pushed Mikaela to the ground and immediately slit Jayden's throat out. Mikaela was in shock. It happened out of the blue. Tears began to roll down Mikaela's cheeks and she screamed, "JAYDEN NO!!" and she crawled towards the lifeless body of Jayden. Blood splurts out from the neck of Jayden.

Mikaela looked at her parents and screamed, "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT" Her parents started to cry but still held the sack of coins firmly. Mikaela felt so betrayed by her parents and deeply devastated by her brother's death. She continued crying.

The man then walked towards Mikaela's parents and stabbed the father in the stomach and he coughed out blood and fell to the floor. The man began stomping on his head, cracking his skull and hitting the noggin, killing Mikaela's dad. Despite hating her father for the reason why Jayden was killed, she still loved her father and screamed out of sadness.

The mother was not sad about him dying and began running but the man caught up to him and slit her throat. Killing her as well. He crouched down and took his sack of coins and said, "I don't need them anymore" And and threw it. He looked at Mikaela bawling her eyes out and said, "This is how you live girl. You either live in the streets and get yourself killed. Or you kill people to earn money, be feared by everyone and enjoy it" He said and took his knife out and was about to make a move to kill Mikaela.

Mikaela punched the man in the face and ran to the door. "YOU FILTHY BRAT!" The man said and ran after her. He grabbed the girl and said, "I was gonna give you a fast death but instead, maybe a slow and painful one instead." And he stabbed Mikaela's right leg. She screamed in agony and the man enjoyed it. He then went after her head but she kicked the guy at the groin.

He fell back and dropped his knife. MIkaela picks it up and slits his throat out. Killing him. Mikaela drops the knife and starts to scream. She covered her mouth, shocked that she killed the man.

Hours later, a guy with a group of people came to the apartment. The guy walked in and said, "So filthy." And he saw mikaela. He walked towards her and saw a lifeless body beside her. It was the number 7 in the top 10 most dangerous killers.

"Did you kill him?" He said. Mikaela looked at the dead man and nodded with a lifeless expression. The man then hugged the girl and said, "It's good you are alive. Don't worry, I will protect you, I promise." Mikaela, shocked and hugged him back and started the cry and scream.

"Wow. That's so painful." Rachel said. She looked out the window and felt sorry for Mikaela. Marcus looked at her and said, "That is the reason why I took her in, trained her and she became what she is now today."

"I'm glad you too met. You really raised her like a real father. The father she wished she had." Rachel said. And smiled at Marcus. Marcus jumped up and said, "Well that is enough. Time to continue training." Rachel stood up and was ready for anything.
