LTM- OneShot

Some other day

Trigger Warning

She had been to this warehouse before, but this time it did not reek of alcohol, leather, or dampness. Instead, it smelled like blood and murder. It smelled like a final goodbye and pain. The dampness sent chills in her body while the darkness consumed her body like a ghoul. She had never felt helpless in her entire life, not even when the world was crumbling beside her.

Yet, she did this time.

Clutching her abdomen with the left arm, and weeping in severe anguish, she struggled to muster the courage and beg. One could never expect a woman like her to be this vulnerable.
She had her low moments but she never had to beg anyone for an ounce of mercy. But when did life ever allow us to live on our own terms?

The right arm was brutally battered, and the hand was squished under the pressure of a woman's heel. She squeezed it with her heel like you would do to a cigarette under your feet.

"I am going to make you regret being born." The woman in heels responded to her victim's moans. She kicked her in the abdomen with the other foot with disgust and ruthlessly spat on her face.

The woman did try to protect herself with her injured arm but in vain.

"No, pleas don-. I bh- beg- beg- you." She winced, trying to convince her attacker with fear lingering in her eyes.

"Tamam. We'll play another game now." The attacker bend towards her and began to stroke her hair lovingly.

"You have a choice. What would you prefer, Shall I hang you upside down? Or drag you around?

Or, simply shoot that pussy of yours?" She violently grabbed her hair into a fist and thrashed her face with a hard slap.

"Didn't your parents teach you? It's basic decency to keep your hands and mouth off other people's belonging."

The victim could only groan in pain and weep like a child. If it was otherwise, she would have given her befitting reply but she was physically and emotionally unable to do so.

"How about we go with all options one by one? Sounds exciting doesn't it?"

She saw the glint in her eyes and felt the lump in her throat. It wasn't death that she was scared of. Her own death was the least of her fears-

In her situation, she would have really wanted to kill herself but not like this, not by her.
The attacker dragged her by her hair all the way to the other end of the warehouse.

The blood dripping from her body marked the floor in the deadliest pattern and all she could do was SCREAM. The scream of pain erupted from her lower abdomen and went straight to the clunge.

"You should have never slept with him Edacim."

The words rang in her ear like a death penalty followed by several kicks in her stomach, "You should have never dared to carry his child."

Eda could not register anything else after that. Not even the beating except for her screaming bones that were most likely fractured in various parts.

This was the first time she was crying with her heart out. It was ironic that the pain Selin inflicted on her body didn't hurt her as much as the loss of her child did. He had been strong so far.

Eda felt worse than she felt when she was unable to protect her father and sister. This time, she couldn't protect her family despite being there physically. It was good Selin was killing her, she won't be able to live with this pain anymore.
.

"Eda. Eda." The name rang in her ears like a melody. It was filled with sweetness and utmost gentleness.
