The Search for Freedom

Kaila

Alicia and I went towards the benches covered with the shade of tall trees. Those boys could see me, but I knew that they could not see Alicia because she was already a spirit. I wasn't totally afraid of what those boys could do to me, because Alicia could make them disappear in just a second after flipping her fingers at them.

One of the boys pointed his finger at me, then I heard him say, "Buds, look at the girl; she looked beautiful and rich." Though we were far from them, I could already hear their voices, which seemed to be fighting, and they were doing that because of me.

The boy who wasn't wearing a shirt replied, "She's really beautiful. I want to taste her." However, I didn't care if he had a good body or if he was excels in bed because I wasn't a donut to let him taste me. What I did care about was that he might meet my boyfriend, Mr. Death.

Another boy warned, "She's already mine, so don't attempt to touch her."

What kind of boys were they? I wasn't a food item for them to quarrel about. They weren't just smokers, but seemed to commit sexual assault too. But I would make sure they could not touch the tip of my finger. As they also walked towards us, I couldn't predict what was on their minds, but they probably couldn't think of good things to do. I could sense their bad intentions even though they were away, and their faces looked like addicts from taking illegal drugs. "Hello, miss beautiful." One of them greeted me as he approached me. "Can I know your name?" He blew smoke from his mouth.

"Kick him now," Alicia whispered in my ear.

Because I didn't want the boy to fight back against me, I followed Alicia's order and kicked him without saying anything, but with all my strength in the center of his thigh. "Ahh-hawww!" He growled in pain.

I mistook and underestimated myself. It wasn't only his cigarette which flew away, but also him who tumbled and dropped down on the road while holding his thigh. The other boys didn't help him; instead, they clapped their hands. Maybe they were thinking I was just playing, but they didn't know that I could benefit from that play.

"That's what you'll get from being rude, bud. Is it painful?" Another boy remarked. He removed his black hat and stared at me.

I saw he looked like the handsome actor in a movie, or he might be his younger version. He had short, dark brown hair; hard facial lines; a thick, bow-shaped beard between his lips; and a high nose. He also had thick, black eyebrows, brown skin, and an average height.

"Come on, who's next?" I challenged "You boys fight me!"

"You're a girl. We would become hermaphrodites if we fought you. A girl like you deserves to be loved and not hurt," he replied.

Wow! So he knew how to love, though he couldn't even love himself since he joined with those addicts? I didn't want to enter into their businesses anymore, for I had my own. I told them that if they were true males, then they should fight me; if they were afraid to fight and defeat me, then they were homosexuals, so they should fight me if they were not.

"Right buds, we don't really want to fight a weak girl like you, but we also don't want others to step on our personality."

"You're right. Show her what you can do!" Another boy ordered

"If I can defeat you, you will be mine all night, but if you can defeat me, then we will let you escape and do anything you want, deal?"

"Deal, but if I can defeat you, will you let me do anything I want to do with you and also with your friends?" I asked.

"Deal, but if I can defeat you, you will be our delicacy tonight. We will havoc on your entirety, outside and inside, so be prepared because we won't let you go as long as we're not satisfied."

My heart was throbbing so loudly that I could hear it too, but I knew I didn't need to worry about anything because I could still escape if I was defeated by him. There were many ways to escape from them, especially knowing that Alicia was willing to help me anytime.

Enjoy and consider this a game; you don't need to defeat him. What you need to do is to kill them," Alicia reminded.

She walked towards the flat stone on the roadside and sat down there. She might want to watch how I fight the boy, and I also didn't want to disappoint her for the first time. Many people believed that if the beginning was bad, it would be bad all throughout. However, someone could still manage and do their best so that everything would be good. So I would do my best to defeat that boy.

After we dealt, the boys on the other side of the road tapped the back part of their representative's shoulder, then he went to the center of the road. He raised his arm, looked at my face, and gestured for me to get near him.

I removed my parka and only wore my purple shirt, denim jeans and sneakers. I stretched my arms and legs as a warm up. It would be better if I did a warm up before fighting with this boy. The other boys were sitting on the tree's root on the other side of the road, spatting like dogs while looking at me.

I walked towards the boy and prepared for the punch he wanted to release. I wasn't looking anywhere but at his hands and feet, so that I could avoid his attacks. Even just by looking at his body, with perfect muscles on his abdomen and chest, I could not estimate how strong he was. He wasn't a boy anymore, for he looked more mature than I thought.

He suddenly made an intermittent joggling motion, but he didn't release any blows. I knew he was underestimating what I could do, but I would do my best to fight him and prove him wrong, and because he didn't release a punch, I released a punch first, but he avoided it, and punched me back.

He was so quick and strong that I did not see his hand when he punched my jaw again. I felt the sudden pain like a blast on my face. I realized how difficult it was. If I didn't know the movements of other people, I could definitely receive pain from their sudden movements.
