Chapter 21 - Justin to the rescue

The mad rapist took out a knife and placed it across Krystal's neck, raising her to her feet and using her as a hostage.

"You all better stay back!" He said and laughed madly. "You all either watch me fuck this chick hard or watch me slit her throat. I'm gonna have my fun and no one can do a thing about it." He laughed and grabbed one of her breasts. She bit her lip hard, feeling disgusted. He licked her neck still positioning the knife well.

"John, just let her go and we'll give a willing girl later." A policeman said.

"Heck no! I'm gonna have my fun right here and now." He said and proceeded to take off her clothes.

"I'd rather die than be humiliated!" Krystal yelled. "Don't be cowards and just kill the guy!" She cried out,no doubt she was scared, so she cried.

"Oh I'm not gonna die, yet, not until I've had my fun." The mad rapist grinned evilly. His face looked disgusting with his hair turning crimson from the blood flowing due to the impact of the iron slate.

Felix arrived and wanted to run into action but the police held him back saying it would risk the lady's life.

Justin opened his eyes, although his vision was not entirely clear. He could tell what was going on. He stood to his feet and once he was stable, kicked the guy's head from behind.

Felix saw this as an opportunity so he snatched a gun from a policeman, freely aimed at the mad rapist and shot him without hesitation. It hit him in the leg and made him fall.

As soon as this was done, he threw the gun aside and ran towards him, grabbed him by the shirt and started throwing punches nonstop. How dare he lay his filthy hands on the princess?

Krystal fell in Justin's arms and he wrapped his arms around her. She cried nonstop and he didn't stop her either. He untied her arms and hugged her closely.

"It's okay, you're safe now." He simply said, patting her back.

The police had recovered from their shock at what just happened and ran towards Felix trying to stop him from killing the guy. The manager tried to stop Felix and took the nearly dead mad rapist into custody.

Felix saw Krystal in Justin's arms and felt a little sting in his heart. Nevertheless, he was relieved that she was safe. A policeman took off his coat and handed it over to them. Justin wrapped the coat over Krystal, then he saw her bleeding arm which the mad rappist had bitten.

"You're hurt, let's go to the hospital!" Justin said in an alarmed state. She looked up at him. His gray hair had turned crimson as well. She gasped.

"Your head!" She pointed out.

"It's alright." He said completely ignoring the fact that he was still dizzy. "Let's go to the..." Before he could say anything else, his eyes rolled backward and he collapsed. Felix held onto Krystal to make sure she didn't faint as well.

Good thing the police were attentive. They had already called for an ambulance. They carried Justin in a stretcher while Krystal and Felix casually walked in.

A few hours later, Justin opened his eyes to see two figures standing before him. It sounded like they were arguing and the surroundings seemed to be...a hospital.

"You weren't careful!" Felix stated.

"Oh that could have happened to anyone!" Krystal stated plainly.

"But not the princess." Felix snapped, shutting her up. "If you didn't leave, you'd be fine." He said and she nodded in realization.

"Oh now, you're saying that I shouldn't have left? You're trying to say that I can't handle myself outside the palace, right?"

'What are they talking about?' Justin thought and struggled to sit. He touched his head and felt the bandage wrapped around it. "You guys are so noisy." He stated and they turned to look at him startled.

'He didn't hear, right?' Krystal thought and walked closer to him. "How are you feeling? Does your head still hurt?" She inquired.

"A bit." He said and glanced at her for a while. She looked like she had taken a bath and was wearing clean clothes. Who wouldn't, having been molested by a madman? He saw her bandaged arm and sighed. "Sorry." He apologized.

"Sorry? Why?" She asked, confused.

"I don't know, I just feel a bit guilty." He said, looking away. "How's your arm?" He asked, still looking away.

Krystal understood what his behavior was all about and smiled. She bent over and kissed him on his cheek. Justin froze.

"It's alright. Thanks to you, friend, nothing bad happened to me." She said and he turned to see such a grateful smile plastered on her face.

Justin stared at her. He was in a daze at how freely she could behave. Not everyone would simply kiss a guy because of gratitude. She really had no shame. But somehow, this shameless girl amused him. He smirked.

"Is the kiss not enough? You look in a daze." Krystal asked and Justin cleared his throat not meaning to stare. "I owe you one, so name it."

"What?"
