"How dare you steal from me you animal!" Chika yelled and slapped the girl across her cheek. The girl flew in the direction of the slap. Her hands went to her cheek and she wailed loudly.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't know it was yours. Please I'm sorry." The girl pleaded, kneeling down.
But Chika wasn't about to listen. She took a belt from a boy close to her and flogged the girl mercilessly. The girl screamed, twisting her body from side to side. The crowd cheered as Chika flogged her. The 'crowd' was made up of our gang members, we were in our meeting place.
I was angry that nobody tried to stop Chika from beating the girl like that. No one could dare that though, Chika was the leader and no one could cross her. But it wasn't as if the girl had spent the money. She was caught and the money was now with Chika, yet she wasn't relenting. The girl was about my age, she was just like, struggling to survive on the streets by any means possible, I couldn't let this happen to her.
The girl had stopped moving and was lying still on the floor. I thought she was dead but them I saw her lips moving but no sound was coming out. Even with the state of the girl, Chika was not stopping. It was like she was trying to kill her. Just before the belt came down again, I rushed to the front of the girl and crouched over her. The belt landed on my back and I screamed in pain.
