I Thought I Was A Devil

Season 3 Chapter 4

[Trigger warning]

Karl’s body trembled due to the immense pain, blood came out of his nose and torn lips, he glared at me while standing up, he touched the red fluid and stared at it for a minute in disbelief then grit his teeth, his eyes looked reddish due to immense anger.

Karl: (he rubbed his forehead trying to control his anger) Bitch….did you actually think that you will hit me and I will do nothing in return? Heh? (He tilts his head looking at me uninterested) Don’t blame me if you land up in hospital. (He smirks folding his arms while his sidekicks stand beside him)

Me: (I punched his stomach hard as spit came out of his mouth his body bends while he holds his stomach out of instinct) That will leave a bad bruise. (His eyes glared at me as he stands up and punches my face, by now the crowd has slowly started to gather, I spit out some blood from my mouth, my nose was broken because of his punch, blood gushed out, but instead of wincing in pain, I started laughing loudly as if something got triggered inside my head) Funny!! You are strong! That means I don’t need to hold back. (I gave out a murderous aura while wiping the blood off my face, he tried to punch again but this time I blocked his hand and twisted his wrist, he screams in pain trying to break free from the grip)

Karl: Agh!!!! What are you?! A demon?!! And why are both of you standing there like idiots? Come and help me damn it!! (His eyes start tearing up as he winces in pain).

Before his sidekicks could come and help him, I took a sideways stance, then rotated my body leaving his wrist performing a perfect roundhouse kick but made sure not to give too much pressure, just enough to knock him out. He laid on the ground trying to keep his consciousness while blood came out from the side of his head, regaining my balance, I sat on his back trying to break his arm, his sidekicks tried to pull me away, at this point my thoughts were clouded and I could only think of bloodlust, thirst seized me, I felt like my brain will burst due to the noises inside of my head, I could hear Victoria and Jules’ voices but it fell on deaf ears. Finally someone pulled me away by grabbing my ear hard, looking up I noticed a new face, she slapped me hard across my face which brought me back to reality.

Emilia: What is going on here?! (She glares at me then looks at the crowd) Go back to your classes! I want this ground empty within 5 minutes or I will complain regarding all of you to the Director! (She screams as the crowd starts reducing within a minute, everyone hurried to their classes, she then helps Karl stand up) He is unconscious…poor boy…take him to the medical room, we need to send him to the hospital. (She says before passing Karl to his sidekicks who hurriedly drags him to the medical room). Now then….(she raised her brow while staring down at me) Who are you?

Victoria: (she stands beside me terrified, her forehead was covered in sweat as she glances at the woman standing in front of us) C-Coach….this is Anne, she is my friend…please forgive her, she didn’t mean to harm anyone, it was just….Karl, you know him well right? I am sure he must have done something bad-

Emilia: Shut up Victoria, do you think I have time to listen to your bullshit when that poor boy is about to get hospitalized? (She rubs her forehead) Can’t believe they let a criminal enroll in the school. (She sighed) I need to speak with the Director later. (She glares at me) No need to come to classes tomorrow, you are expelled. Go and find a school that suits your standards better.

Me: (I pointed at my bleeding nose) Can’t you see my injury? He started the fight, I was just defending myself. (I said confidently)

Emilia: Young lady, don’t give me bullshit. I have seen that you started the fight by punching him. (She said smirking) Nothing goes beyond my eagle like eyes.

Me: So you must have noticed the whole conversation before I punched him? (I tilted my head) Because nothing goes beyond your ‘eagle like eyes’? (I replied in a mocking tone)

Emilia: (she bites her lower lip getting frustrated) Of course I saw everything…it was a friendly conversation before you started acting like a beast. (She folded her arms)

Me: Since when sexual harassment became friendly conversation? Right now if a male teacher comes and spanks your butt in front of all the students, and says “sorry it was just a joke” (I said mimicking male voice) Will that become a joke? Will you laugh at it? (I said while smiling)

Emilia: (she raised her hand with the motive of slapping me again then held herself back) E-Even if there was a problem….y-you could have just come to the authorities and complained r-regarding it, you cannot just go around hitting people just because they did something bad to you. (She gulps her spit while stammering)

Me: (I smirked) If people like you are sitting in an authority position then I feel it’s better to take things in our own hands.

Victoria: (she pulled my arm with pleading eyes) Anne…please…. Don’t make it any worse than this. (She almost tears up)

Me: (I looked at her then glanced at the CCTV camera at the corner) mhm….ma’am I apologize for creating trouble, how about you forgive me this time, and forget about the incident? I promise from next time I won’t cause trouble within school premises.

Emilia: Nice try, but, I can’t let a criminal roam around freely within school boundaries, so leave before I end up calling police to look into this matter. (She said sighing)

Me: He will recover within 5-6 weeks, stop whining about it, it’s fine if you are stubborn to kick me out of the school, I will book an appointment with the Vice-Director and Director regarding this problem. (I said before turning back and leaving the school premises followed by Jules and Victoria).

Victoria: (she grabbed my arm forcing me to turn and look at her as she slapped me hard across my face) Are you stupid?! Do you know what you did back there?! Do you even have the slightest idea how much problems you caused! Who told you to pick fights with Karl?! First you insulted Julie then started beating Karl! I called you here to help out Julie and you made her feel even more insecure! (She screams at the top of her voice while her eyes start getting moist but she didn’t cry, her white face turned reddish due to extreme anger) Fix this problem, I don’t know how, but fix this!

Jules: Uhm Victoria…it was my fault- (I pulled Jules using the end of her top as I stared at her asking her not to tell anything, Jules lowered her eyes while feeling guilty)

Victoria: (she rubbed her face using her palms feeling frustrated) Please fix this…I can’t afford anymore mess…(she stared at me with begging eyes before walking off)

Jules: Victoria!...(she sighed then hugged me) I am sorry, all this happened because of me…please don’t mind Victoria, she is already going through a lot…I will try to calm her, please take care of yourself. (tears rolled down from her eyes as she uses her thumb to wipe them off)

Me: (I took my jacket from her arms while biting my lower lip) Don’t be silly, I didn’t do this because of you, his breath was foul, I just wanted to shut him up. (I pushed her away) Go and take care of Victoria. (I said before turning my back towards her and started walking)
