Ha..

"Oi! Don't let her escape!" A harsh voice could be heard from behind, shouting loudly at the person running in front of him.

Ha...

"Faster, you useless bunch! Catch her!"

Ha...

The voice was getting closer. The girl who was running anxiously thought of a way to escape from the people who were chasing her.

What should I do? They're getting closer!

The girl who looked like she was still a teenager kept running, hoping to find anyone who could help her.

Please! Anyone!

She then saw a road leading to a nearby area. Without thinking, the girl immediately ran down the road.

She ran around anxiously in the area, praying a lot that she could escape from being chased by them. She ran and ran to the point her legs almost gave out. The girl ran one last time and reached the abandoned housing complex.

WELCOME TO H _ _ E _ _ LL, is what the sign above the housing complex's gate says.

"Welcome to.. Hell?" She looked at the housing complex and saw how eerie the atmosphere was. The entire area of ​​the housing complex screamed danger to her.

The girl began to reconsider the good and bad of her current situation if she decided to enter the complex.

"There she is!" A group of men together with the man who shouted earlier come back.

Ah, screw it!

The girl proceeded to break into the complex and run towards one of the buildings that... full of ropes?

The girl could careless about a scary building with ropes, the only thing she had to do is to run and hide somewhere inside of this apartment.

She tried to open every single door she saw but to her despair every apartment was locked, she's also tried to pushed and kicked but she's too weak to even break one of the door.

She then gave up kicking the door and run towards the staircase but unfortunately the staircase was blocked and she had nowhere to run.

"Make sure all of you find her and catch her!" the same harsh voice from earlier again but this time the anger in his voice can be heard clearly.

The girl took a sharp breath. Her heart was pounding in fear, panic began to eating her slowly. Shaking in fear, the girl tried to think quickly and at the same time she remember something.

With a slow breath, she tried to calm down and began to think a survival plan she had learn whenever she was on life or death situation.

The girl tore off her dress, exposing her thighs and picked up a broken glass from the floor and scratched her thigh with it.

The girl cried softly in pain as she saw the blood dripping down her thigh. She tried to ignore the pain and took the torn piece of the dress and gently patted it on her bleeding thigh.

When the torn piece of the dress turn from white to now bloody red, she took off both her shoes and throw them away with the bloody torn piece of dress.

The noise of the shoes hitting on the big trash can immediately catch the attention of the group of men that searching for her.

In the same time, the girl quickly hides below the staircase when she finished her job. She carefully move deeper below the stairs so her blood wouldn't drip onto the floor.

Thankful to her petite appearance, she's completely hidden in that very small, narrow and definitely claustrophobic worthy space.

"Boss, it seems that we lost her," one of the guy informed to the man that scream earlier. "We also found this." He then pulled out the bloody torn piece and shoes.

The man took the bloody torn piece and gripped it, "Fuck!" In anger, the man punched the guy from earlier. The other guys just stand still around them, terrified as they watched him beating the shit out the guy.

The man continue beating the guy but suddenly stopped when his phone rang. He looked at the contact name and went panicked, the man slowly picking up the phone,

"H-Hello, Gomi-sama.." The evil looking man from earlier turn into coward immediately.

"[Yuchi, Where is she? Did you catch her? Make sure there's no bruises or cuts on her skin, it will lower the price.]"

"U-Um.. Gomi-sama, w-we failed to catch her.."

"[WHAT!?]"

"S-She ran into t-the S.W.O.R.D territory–"

"[YOU'RE IN S.W.O.R.D TERRITORY!? FUCK!]"

Yuchi, the man who's holding the phone trembling in fear. His face pale as sheet of paper when the guy on the other side of the phone raging.

"W-WE ARE SORRY, SIR!" Yuchi and the rest of the guys apologized and bowed 90 degrees towards Gomi, though he didn't see it.

"[THEN WHAT THE FUCK YOU'RE STILL DOING THERE!? GET BACK HERE, YOU USELESS TRASH! DON'T LET ANYONE SEE YOU!]"

"B-But, what about her..?" Yuchi dumbly asked.

"[Are you questioning me? I SAID GET AWAY FROM THAT PLACE, YOU FUCKER!]"

"YES, SIR!" Immediately, all of them disappeared from the S.W.O.R.D district.

The girl who's still hiding under the staircase, releasing the breath she had been holding in with relief. After making sure that the people chasing her were really gone, the girl tried to move from her hiding place.

She slowly crawled out and stood from under the stairs, the girl was careful not to let the wound on her thigh touch anything around her.

But just after she managed to stand up and move a few steps, she fell to the floor. Looks like she's running out of energy and her body was too weak to move a muscle. The girl take a deep breath and tried to stand up again, but she failed.

She can't move at all like her body is held by something unknown. The girl's eyes felt like they were getting heavier, the world seemed to be spinning in her head making her head hurt and dizzy. Finally, the girl uttered her last words before she gave up on staying conscious and let the darkness greet her,

"Nii-chan.."
