PERSONA Chapter 2
- VILLAGE OF DAFFODILS - MONDAY - 5:00 P.M. -
"Were you the ones that were rioting in the area?" a girl wearing a mask asked the group of men who were standing at the entrance of the village
She stood in the middle, so proud and tall. Although she was wearing a mask, one could tell that behind them, it had quite an exquisite and picturesque face.
The men were heavily armed, yes, but they had no weapons that were specifically made for long distance combat. It didn't take too long for the girl to know that they were hoodlums.
Seeing them, she didn't feel any ounce of fear or intimidation at all.
"Eve, young child, let's run.. let's just run" the old man behind the girl nervously said as he tried to pull the girl out from harm's way
"Run now and hide in your house. Remind them all to close the doors properly. Trust me. I can handle this," and despite the old man's will, after hesitating for a few seconds, he finally nodded when he saw the girl's cold yet gentle eyes and immediately ran to the inner part of the village
When the hoodlums saw the old man runaway, some dude wanted to run after him but the girl calmly opened her wristband, took out a folding knife and blocked the way and said "Don't even think about it."
The hoodlums' faces darkened in an instant but the girl did not even bother to coax them.
Seeing such a calm girl facing middle aged, strong men through their windows, all the villagers shivered as they were really concerned about her.
Even though the subject of their concerns is not even the least bit worried. Only one look and you'll see that she's not like most girls.
"They usually just call the Aegis Force when someone tries to do bad things here. But they're scared" sighing helplessly, the girl then added, "Which means you guys have some kind of powerful boss or something, huh? Who are you guys anyway?"
The one at the middle, at front, who was obviously the leader of these rowdy men, spit out and sniffed roughly. He was huge, not kidding. Aside from his obviously expensive attire and jewelry, he was even wearing shades. As if he was good looking, the shades had nothing to contribute to his hard to explain appearance at all.
"Who are you, you piece o 'shit?" the man then asked causing the girl to pause and then laughed as she took three knives and kissed them and said "It may be cliche but I'm your worst nightmare"
"Kill her," and on cue, they attacked her at the same time
Time to have some fun!
She stomped her feet causing a blade to stick out and kicked the very first hoodlum that reached her destination, causing blood to spurt and a man immediately fell down on the ground poisoned.
Crossing her arms, in between her fingers were knives that she later then threw at six men who immediately followed the same path as the first hoodlum.
Straight to the chest! 7 down, 14 to go!
While fighting with the others, her dainty, small and pointed nose smelt a gun. She had very alert senses that even if someone glanced at her, she can feel it.
Following the smell of the gunpowder, she saw a hoodlum at her 3 o'clock direction, smiled, ran and attacked him.
A gun like his can't possibly hurt her. It's only 2x faster than her knives. His panicking face says it all. He would never hit the girl. He's not even trained for it. The girl shook his head as she sighed and thought: 'Poor gun~'
"Get away from
me, you won't live if I take this shot!" he shouted
"Then pull the damn trigger," the man was obviously triggered so he shot her but all of a sudden, for the young girl, the bullet went on slow motion and even the trajectory of his ammunition
So in just seconds, she rolled over, took out her gun, pulled the trigger and stood up aiming and shot his hand - the one holding the gun. Bang!
"AGH- FCK!"
She later then turned as she shot at all the men who were still planning on hurting her and when she saw the others running away, she raised and eyebrow and snorted.
But wait, she felt a gun pointed at the back of her head. She sneered as the hoodlum said, "Don't move" I lifted my two hands in front of the gun and thought: 'It sounded like he was catching a criminal or something'
"Face me!" the man commanded and she immediately complied.
She looked at him with a smug look on her face. Staring at the girl in front of him, he really felt like pulling the trigger immediately and make sure that she can't breathe anymore but he still had something for her to do. The villagers seemed to trust this girl. She's obviously someone with a good background.
"Why? You're gonna hurt me?" she asked not minding getting glared at for a very long time
When the man blinked his eyes, she got onto her knees and kicked his calf causing his foot to run out of balance and let go of his gun. He panicked and tried to stand but the girl already took out a knife from her waistband, stood up and pointed it at his neck.
"Don't move," she said smugly imitating his line from earlier. Out of fear he obeyed immediately and knelt on the ground. Seeing such a cowardly man, she immediately kicked in the stomach and punched him in the face which caused him to lose consciousness.
She took his gun, turned around and saw the men who returned bringing back up. They were already sweating and hesitating when they saw the biggest men of their group uncoscious on the ground. Their eyes obviously showing fear and denial.
She caressed the gun she took from the last target, pulled the trigger and aimed it at the boss lazily while saying, "I've fired a gun since I was 3 years old. Let me warn you, ever since I reached the age of 7, I never missed a target since"
"I-I'll remember this, you puny brat! We'll get back at you! You better watch your back!" their boss shouted as he ran away as fast as a rabbit seeing a lion, which caused his men shocked and immediately followed him, scurrying away.
Tsk tsk.
