A Dream Life With You

Chapter 34: Trauma.

Swish...

There she was, fearless as ever, mad as a beast standing behind him as she put her arm around his neck and strangled him. She pulled her hand tighter with the other. She used all the strength she ever had. 

That serial killer, whose name was teddy had a hard time as he tried to free himself. He pulled at her hand with all his strength. As his face was starting to get red, he saw a wooden stick around and picked it up with some difficulty.

Victoria was doing her best to strangle him. Suddenly, he picked up the wooden stick. She tried to dodge it but then she would have to let him go. So instead she held on. With the pointed end of the stick, he beat her on the stomach. It was so painful Victoria almost bent down. However, she had strong willpower and still didn't let go. 

Teddy was getting blue because of being strangled. He needed to do something quickly. He beat her again with the stick but Victoria endured. That stick wasn't very thick. Teddy suddenly got an idea and he broke the stick in two by banging it on the pillar near him. 

And before Victoria could reach, he shot the sharp-pointed towards Victoria's waist behind him. Swiftly, that stick pierced through the soft skin of Victoria. 

Victoria suddenly lost all her strength and let him go. She held the stick as she bent down. Her face was all blue as she had a hard time breathing. Then before she could register everything, a strong kick landed on her chest. It hurt so badly that tears split out of her eyes. 

Victoria struggled desperately on the floor to get up and fight back. Teddy smiled maniacally. Then he approached her and began beating her with his legs. Victoria felt quite helpless trying to bear the pain of her wound and defending herself. But of course, when death wasn't enough to stop her, then how would a small wound be enough.

Victoria doesn't bet at all. And now that she betted, she directly betted with her life. She was fearless and ready to do anything to win this bet. From small wounds to her death. She was prepared.

As Teddy kicked toward her face, Victoria suddenly held his foot while the other hand was still on the stick.

Teddy was a bit shocked. Unfortunately or not, Teddy didn't have a chance to meet a woman so daring, fearless and strong as Victoria. Until now all his Victims were scared and begged him to let them go until their last breath. Let alone fight him, they never dared play tricks on him. 

This was really new for him. However, because of their faithful fight in the washroom of the restaurant, Teddy was still a little alert around her. But all these unexpected things only led him to be more excited than ever. He was now determined to not let her go easily. He knew she was very hard to break when he saw her mad eyes. However, breaking her was the sweetest pleasure for him. He desperately wanted to see her in tears.  

Victoria pushed his foot hard as he staggered behind. And then she got up somehow. Thankfully that stick wasn't long. As half of it was within her, it didn't get in her way of fight. She couldn't take it out despite the pain because then she would bleed badly and wouldn't be able to fight.

Teddy attacked her fiercely. She somehow managed to dodge it until now. Teddy stopped and run his fingers through his hair. Then he glared at her. 

" Little Bitch, you're dead!" Saying that Teddy cruelly swings a powerful kick toward Victoria's wound. It was so fast that Victoria closed her eyes.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Oscar and Levi were incredibly fast. As soon as they got the sketch, Levi summoned the special forces while Oscar summoned his own personal army. 

They also pulled the surveillance from the street in front of the restaurant. They tracked Teddy's car from the restaurant to a highway where they lost track because it was a remote area. 

Oscar and Levi planned to be on standby at the end of that highway as their people continued to search. Levi asked his people to look into all the surveillance that are available near that highway. They didn't know if that killer stopped somewhere near the highway or if he went further somewhere far away. 

While Levi searched that way, Oscar got a lot of people of his to instantly check the unauthorised surveillance. He asked his people to search for dashboard cameras, cameras in hotels, restaurants and every camera that can possibly be there. 

Oscar and Levi arrived at the end of the highway in no time. They were quite heavily armed. They had snipers and small bombs. Oscar was leading his group while Levi was leading his. They were going to take action themselves. Through thick and thin, Oscar wanted to save Victoria before it was too late while Levi was determined to risk his life to save all the victims.

It took them a whole hour to finally find another clue. They didn't get a definite answer but they got to know which way out of this all the killer took. They divided into two teams and searched all the possible places around there. There were rarely any residents around there. The searching team still worked there and asked every person they could find door to door if they ever saw the killer through his sketch. Soon, Levi and Oscar received news that he was occasionally sighted in his car. 

However, this area was so remote that the neighbours sometimes don't even recognise each other. So they couldn't find anything else. However, this was more than enough for Oscar and Levi. It took them more than 30 minutes to find the killer's car. They searched everywhere nearby but found nothing. They went to the nearest house which was at least 10 meters away.

However, after turning the house up and down, the only useful thing they found there was that someone lives there. But who, they had no idea. There wasn't anything particular they could identify that it was the killer's house. However, as they found his identity, Levi asked his people to check his fingerprints. As they waited, Oscar was on the brink of going crazy.

It was near 6-7 hours since Victoria went missing. It was the dead of the night. The situation wasn't in their favour at all. The criminal was in the shadows while they were out. He was really afraid. Every second he was not doing something, he felt like the most useless existence ever.

For Oscar, he was a man born with a diamond spoon. But he was never relying on that diamond. He was so capable himself that he never had any single moment in his life that he regretted. He was that much gifted. He was gifted in every way possible. 

However, for the first time in his life, he was faced with something he never imagined. How could he imagine Victoria doing something so reckless and stupid?! He couldn't have predicted her being in danger! But now she was in such a danger that there was a possibility that she won't be alive even though she is breathing. 

That killer doesn't kill by stabbing or by shooting his victims. Most of his Victims were ridden of their souls. Some kill themselves with dead eyes though he doesn't let them. But the forensic doctors said that he probably tortured them mentally and physically so much that they die naturally because they couldn't take it anymore. Because they lost all the ounce of will to see the light. 

They die because they couldn't take that trauma anymore.
