ME & YOU

Vengeance

The shouts and laughter of the prisoners echoed through the walls as they walked through the corridors. As the siren rang, they realised that their out-of-cell time was over. Arjun was sitting quietly on a concrete bench in his cell. He never left out during cell time. The guard stopped in front of his cell.

"What happened, sir? Why are you looking so sad?"

Arjun gave no reply. He sat down staring at the marks on the cement floor.

"Better lighten up your mood, sir. You are going to stay here for a long time." The guard laughed.

"I will be leaving tomorrow ... without a single scratch on my body."

"Don't dream too much, Sir. Everyone keeps thinking that but nothing like that happens."

Arjun lifts his head with a cunning smirk. He walks close to the bars.

"If you don't mind me asking, how much do you earn monthly?"

"Around 30 K. Why do you want to know?"

"My dad earns that much in 4 hours."

"So?"

"My Dad has enough money to bribe the dirty judge. The verdict will be given tomorrow ... and they will set me free. No one is honest in this world. Money can buy anything, even ... your life."

The guard gulped his throat and walked away from his jail cell. Arjun laughed while sitting inside the empty cell. He had all his plans ready to kill Kevin. All he had to do was hire a hitman to finish the job. He wanted to shoot him straight in the head like he did to Karthik. He was imagining all of his plans come true in his mind.

At that moment, He heard a loud siren being raised. This meant an intruder had entered the Jail. Arjun was shocked. How could it happen? Intruder here? for whom? It hasn't happened here for years. A thousand questions were raised in Arjun's mind. Now, he had to wait for them to be answered. The corridor lights were all turned off. Guards were moving around in helter-skelter. He saw the circular guard tower lights flashing across the corridors. He slowly started to get chills as he heard metal clanging noises. When the guard tower lights passed through his cell, He noticed his Cell door slightly open. He ran out of it immediately without thinking twice. He thought it was his chance to escape. He ran faster and faster. Then, he tripped and fell on the corridor. He turned behind to see if there was anything. He noticed the dark outline of someone standing afar. When the Guardlights flashed, His eyes widened with horror. It was a girl with her hair tied and a cloth face mask covering up to her nose. He watched the sickle in her hands shine. He tried to crawl back and run away.

Then, he felt his leg being pulled with a tight grip. She swung his body making his head hit a wall. A guard charged on his way with a torch and pistol. In one swift motion, He ended up crawling back in pain with a sliced hand. She dragged the dizzy Arjun holding his leg to the main area. The guards inside were lying dead while the gates were closed for the rest of the police. The guard tower lights stopped circling the corridor and focused on the main area. All the prisoners moved closer to their gates within their cells to watch the scene. Arjun was resting on his hands. She turned towards him. Arjun could get a clear view of her face but couldn't recognise her

"Who are you? What do you want?" Arjun said looking at her face.

"Vengeance."

"I didn't do anything to you."

"Even she didn't do anything to you, why did you rape her?"

"Who? Natasha. First, she agreed to it. She came inside my room. She took drugs and had sex. You have framed it the wrong way. If she didn't want she would have pushed me away."

The sickle sliced across his torso. Arjun groaned in pain

"She was drugged and weak. You took advantage of that. You tied her hands and had sex with her without her consent." she spoke walking around him. She sliced deeply through his back with the sickle.

Kevin cried in pain as he felt the blood trickle off his body.

"WHY?"

"Because I felt like it, bitch. Her smell. Her skin. It just pulled me towards her. I couldn't help it. She was hot. How does it matter to you? Fight your own battles, not others."

Then, she strikes the sickle between his thighs. 

"AAARGH!!!" 

She walks behind him and pulls his hair tightly close to her.

"What are you doing?" She asked.

"Doing what I should have done a long time back."

The tip of the sickle sliced through his jugular vein smoothly. She threw his head down letting the pool of blood overflow. Every jail cell went quiet watching the ruthless murder.

The gates opened and the police ran in but it wasn't in time to catch the culprit.
