107 Delusive Justice (1/2)

She pushed me aside with unexpected strenght, I tumbled and fell down. Berkant screamed and immediately ran to the corner behind him. Before I could even get back up, the girl had reached him. In front of my eyes, she threw him on the ground; pressed his chest down to the ground. I could read Berkant's fear in his eyes.

The girl noticed me getting back up and approaching her. With her knife raised above Berkant's head, she gave me a sinister look. I froze. I couldn't approach any further.

Berkant looked at me in tears... He was helpless against her. He was silently begging me to help him. It was a heartbreaking moment, because all of this happened within a few seconds. I had little time to react, which I had spent just by staring at the horrors in front of me.

The girl looked back at Berkant, and with incredible speed, the knife penetrated into Berkant's neck. Swifty, she pushed the knife to the side to enlarge the wound. The splash of blood, and the sound of bones cracking... The color of red spraying all over her and the floor... Berkant tried to scream, but couldn't. He was gasping for air, making terrible gargling and hissing sounds. I felt a very uncomfortable feeling around my own neck, just by watching it.

She pulled the knife back out of his neck.

”Do not pity him.” she said without looking at me. She was watching the blood flowing out of Berkant's body.

Trying to make good use of her slight relaxation, I ran towards her. This was it. I would catch her myself. But just when I was about to attack her, she made an acrobatic turn and kicked me away. I fell down once again.

”I am not your enemy.” she said. ”Don't get in my way.”

”Your actions can not be justified in any way!” I said.

”You don't know that.” she replied.

”If you want justice, it will be served in the court.” I was getting angry.

”Don't I know? Law doesn't work the same way for rich people.” she said.

I wanted to defeat her faulty logic to possibly stop her, but everytime, she had managed to defeat me instead.

”Is it worth ruining your life?” I asked. ”Everyone's life?”

”I don't ever remember feeling happy in my life.” she said. ”Until now.”

I noticed that I was still sitting on the ground, and slowly got back up. She watched me like I was doing something weird.

”If you don't tell me what your problem with life is, we will never understand each other.” I said.

”I want the best for both of us.” she said.

”What does this have to do with me!?” I asked.

”...”

”Tell me, please.” I begged her.

”We no longer have to live in constant pain.” she said.

”Well, you could... You could always-”

”No.” she shut me up. ”I know a way out of this endless hole.”
