Innocence ✔

Chapter 20

I could feel the hands tighten around my neck. I could feel my boots leave the ground. I could feel myself being picked up, the hands-on my neck tightening every second. I looked at the figure that held me up, he was defiantly one of the people in the angry mob. He looked similar to Joel..But it wasn't him. The man's eyes were bloodshot red. It looked like his head was shaved, He grunted as he strangled me further. I struggled to breathe, I tried kicking him with my legs, But I couldn't. I couldn't do it without air. 

''I am going to kill you here and now, little fucker.'' He whispered, I coughed as I looked into his eyes. I couldn't help but plead. ''Please...Don't....(Amicia Coughs).....Please...Don't...Do...This....'' I pleaded, I could feel his grip on my neck grow tighter. I coughed and reach down into my leather pocket, I pulled out a rock. I coughed again, I could feel my heart slow, My eyes begin to close. I frowned and hit the rock at his head. He did nothing. He just winced. I coughed and knew I had to do it. 

I had to kill him. 

I began to hit the rock at his head multiple times. 

Again and again and again and again and again and again and again. 

I watched as The rock sank in his head when I hit it against his head, He let go. I fell to the ground and coughed over and over again, I put my hand on my chest as I tried to breathe. I could still feel the grip on my neck, I felt around and it left a rash. I stood up uneasy and brace myself, I pulled out my sling as I watched the rest of the mob run towards me, He let out a loud whistle as I heard whistles from others respond, A whole group of mobs ran towards me. 

I frowned and stared at him, I then loaded my sling and shot him straight in the head. I frowned as I aimed my sling at the others, I then began to shoot the rocks at their heads. ''GET AWAY! LEAVE ME ALONE!'' I warned, I dodged a woman who swung an ax at me, I then took out my knife and stabbed her in the neck, blood dripping down my hands. I ran towards a man as he ran towards me, I threw a rock at his head and jumped on top of him, I stabbed my knife right in his neck. I then felt a grasp on both my arms, I looked to my left and right and found two men who held me down, a woman approaching me with an ax. 

I tried to back away quickly, But she swung the ax. I dodged it and threw myself to the side, the man on the right getting hit with the ax instead of me. I felt his grip loosen from my arm, his gurgling echoing in my ears. I then hit my man on my left with a rock, he let go of my arm and I jumped on top of him, I then slammed a rock right in his face. 

His blood splat all over my face and arms, I wiped the blood away from my eyes. 

I then pulled out my sling and aimed it to The woman's head tas she aimed her ax at me, I shot the rock at her head. I watched as Blood came out of her head and she fell to the ground gurgling. I stood above her, we locked eyes. 

I bent down to her, My eyes deadly. 

I put the knife to her throat. 

''Wheres the university?'' I demanded, her eyes wide as she stared at the knife, blood making its way out of her mouth. ''Where is the university!?'' I repeated, I could see her last breaths coming out of her mouth. ''I-Its near the rat cages- if- If you get....past the mobs-m-mobs..you will find a door behind where they keep the rats....The biggest cage....T-T-mke your way inside the university....T-Then there will be room.....A key....To get in.....Then...'' I frowned as she stopped speaking. I noticed she had an odd shaped pocket. I rolled my eyes and opened the pocket forcefully, I found a key. She glared at me as blood showed in her eyes.

''You....Bitch....Giv-Give that back bitch....'' She choked, I rolled dmye eys and put the key in another one of my pockets. I stood up, staring at her and beginning to walk away. ''Hey...Fucker...You will never get past the rats in the cages....And the rest of the mobs in the place....Little asshole...'' She choked again, I turned around and walked back over to her. 

''Fuck you too.'' I replied, stabbing the knife in her throat again. She gurgled once again and I frowned. I wiped the blood from my face and walked into one of the town houses, a place for me to stay tonight, and I  will finish my quest tomorrow. 

I couldn't help but think about my Innocence. 

I knew I lost it. 

But did I care?

I don't know.
