194 A hungry devil (1/2)

Self-defense!? She had learned it but why can't she put them to action?

Ava realized the practicality is totally different from training. In the training, you will know you will be attacked and you will be ready because you know they aren't harmful even if you lose so you are braver. But in reality, you will be horror-struck to even move your hand and the mind just freezes.

What is the use of training to protect ourselves which goes weak when needed? What is the use of a smart and fast brain when it doesn't know what to do in the most crucial time of her life?

She felt everything as unworthy while flapping her limbs in the air when Leon clutched a handful of her hair and dragged her on the floor towards the bed like a slaughterer roughly yanking the lamb to chop its head.

The door which was just a few steps away from her became a distant dream for her, her heart just rammed against her chest probably trying to pound out and run to a safe place away from the beast.

The tears made their way down her terrified face, she felt sorry for herself and the two friends who had taught her to protect herself for three whole years. Her tears also rolled down for letting them down without having the strength to fight back.

Is she going to give up just like that? No, that wasn't Ava Kelly. Hadn't she endured her parents for long? She hadn't fought back with them because they were her birth parents who gave life to her but this wild man has nothing to do with her. Then why should she give up and let him violate her?

Despite the pain all over her body, she was determined never to give up. She will fight with all her strength even if she has to die in the end.

She can't speak anymore to request him to let her go, so she has to find a way to escape by hurting him or herself. She just couldn't imagine herself being violated by an ugly man who looked no less than a wild beast to her.

Instead of trying to get his hands off or run, she used her soft silky hair to slip off the tie which had moved due to Leon Harmon clutching and dragging her by the hair.

Kickboxing, Dax had taught her other than Shawn teaching her self defense techniques and pressure points of a man which she could use to bring pain and escape.

Leon realized she wasn't struggling anymore and became silent. He stopped pulling her and turned around but the girl just sat on the floor motionlessly other than her rugged breathing and sniffles trying to catch a breath.

He mused as he kneeled turning her around, ”The fierce cat became a lamb.”

The most important aspect of self-defense was also predicting what move the opposite will make to defend ourselves. Just like how she predicts the business plans.

The tears were rolling down without listening to her due to the pain she was in. When the wild man clutched her right arm, her eyes squeezed to control her groan escaping from her lips.

If he tosses her on the bed and pins her down, she is ready to knee him hard between his legs, elbow his neck, and run. If he turned her around the right side, she looked at her left leg and was glad she was still in her high heels.

Leon twirled her on the floor to her right side to see her face but the next second his eyes widened witnessing her left leg came out flying. Before he could realize her shoe point hit hard above his ear.

Leon momentarily lost the sense of hearing from his right ear but Ava's force wasn't enough to break him to the ground. He just collapsed on his butt and sat shaking his head.

Ava's eyes finally fell on his face. she identified the man and blurted out, ”LEON HARMON.”

She didn't know where her anger was but it just burst out. Maybe the anger on her parents also included, she grabbed the ashtray and broke it on his head as she roared ”Aren't you ashamed to fool around having a wife in the home?”

Followed by it was the shatter of glasses and Leon Harmon groaned in pain holding his head. Maybe the blood swept on his head but Ava didn't care, she ran for her life as soon as he was distracted.

This was her chance to go somewhere safe else he will catch her again. She knew Leon let his guard down because she was a girl and a weak one.
