NOT HUMAN

Chapter 16 - Little Girl

It was so cold, so, so, so cold. Andy wore two shirts, a purple coat, sweatpants, and boots. She could hear the snow crunching beneath her feet. She had a brilliant idea. She launched herself into the snow and laid down giggling like a child. She started on a snow angel when something cold hit her hard in the face.

She shot up on her feet ready to fight someone. When she met a pair of cocky dark eyes. It was Jax. What was he doing here? Did he follow her outside? She was by herself. Nobody but her and the most hated person, Jax.

He was an asshole. She hated him.

"Did you like that little girl-" He began to say when Andy swung her arm like a batter playing baseball and hit Jax square in the face with a snowball.

He laughed. "Nice you got a good throw. Did you play any sports?"

"...yes..." She answered. Puzzled by his question or maybe the fact he was talking to her.

"Yeah, I did too." He said, looking off to the woods like he was reminiscing about something in his past life.

"Cool." She said coldly. She was uncomfortable now. She thought it'd be best to go back inside. But Jax was trailing not far behind her. Then, suddenly, heavy arms wrapped around her waist and he pulled her close to him.

He breathed in her ear. "...You're nothing, Andy."

She struggled in his grasp and spun around, breaking his hold on her waist, and planted a knee in his gut. Jax startled rasped from the impact, a look of hurt on his face.

Then she tripped him. He landed in the snow. She took this chance to straddle him, and she punched him in the face. "Fuck." He groaned. Andy finished by getting him into a blood choke.

"You asshole. I'm nothing?" She laughed a hollow laugh. "Don't try that again." As that left her mouth, he easily broke from the chokehold and got on top of her, pinning her down. She was stunned. Of course, he was a lot bigger than her. Well, that was an understatement. He was huge. The biggest in the group.

But he was dumb. She was too proud to admit he was stronger than she was.

"You sure are cocky, Andy. Even with your self-defense classes and training in MMA, you can't fight physics. I'm a man. You're a weak little girl." He sneered.

He was right. She was a lot smaller than he was.

"So, get the fuck off." She barked. "What do you want from me?"

"To prove a point." He laughed. "That you are nothing but a little girl. You're fucking weak, Andy."

She wouldn't show fear. She wasn't afraid of this 180-pound grown-ass man. She wasn't.

"Okay, you've proved your point now." She said, quietly. That was enough to crush her pride. What more could he do to her? Her father taught her how to fight. How to beat a man if he harassed her or did anything wrong to her. But now all that training is useless.

It had its use in high school. But now, facing this muscled-up guy that was so much bigger than she was made her nothing.

He was right.

She was nothing.

He had her hands pinned above her head, and his weight pressing down on her stomach. She was trapped.

But her father told her there was always a way out--an opening! There had to be one.

She was so angry. So, humiliated. Her pride and anger growing blocked out her fear. She instinctively lifted her head to his and rammed it like a bull into his skull. There was a loud grunt as he backed up off of her. There was blood dripping down his forehead.
