chapter 10 - fighting back

Roger was glaring at the desk that Pumpkin had hid behind as the plump woman had, once again, ran away from him. This woman is so damn irritating! How did he even fall for her? Roger wondered about Damien's tastes in women and he wondered how Pumpkin even fell into Damien's protection. "You are so damn annoying! Stop running away from me or I will give you something to run away from," he threatened as Pumpkin was trying to keep herself silent from giving away her exact location to Roger, even though she knew that he knew where she was as Roger was just waiting for her to come out of hiding. 

Pumpkin didn't want to give Roger the right to see her tears and so, she dried her eyes and she prepared to try and fight back against Roger. The small woman knew that she could use her height to her advantage as long as she didn't get caught by the man. She grabbed a steel ruler that was just laying on the ground and she prepared to make her move. Roger started to chuckle darkly as he walked around the large office with soft footsteps. How did Damien ever make friends with him? Pumpkin thought as she started to move around. Roger saw a shadow in the darkness and he stopped moving, smirking. He pulled out his phone and he used his flash light option on his phone. "Don't play with me, Esmeralda. I can still find you," he started to taunt Pumpkin and she knew that she didn't want to fall for the taunt. She knew that rushing into the situation very blindly could get her killed very easily and she didn't want to die at all as she didn't live her life yet. 

Roger smirked as he started to trail about the office with the light still flashing from his phone. He knew that he had trapped Pumpkin in the office and he knew that it was a matter of time until Pumpkin panics and run right into him. Roger knew that he would tear Pumpkin limb from limb if that happens and he smiled at the thought of killing Pumpkin very painfully. As he thought about killing Pumpkin, he didn't notice something made of steel was heading to his leg. He then cursed when the steel ruler that Pumpkin had grabbed cut into his skin. "Shit!" He shouted as he bent down to nurse the cut that Pumpkin had given him. "You little bitch," he muttered darkly, holding out his gun. He started to shoot very wildly. One of his wild bullets managed to graze Pumpkin as she moaned from the graze the bullet had given her. 

"O-ow," she whimpered as she held onto her arm. He was shooting so wildly. How can he expect to make a perfect kill? Alana does better than him! Pumpkin thought as she nursed her arm. "And, yet, he hit me," she cursed the irony of his bad shooting technique. Pumpkin noticed that Roger was still nursing his cut and she gazed down at the bloody ruler. She knew that the both of them were injured in some way and so, she decided to continue to fight back. Seeing that Roger was preoccupied, Pumpkin took her ruler and she sliced Roger's hand, causing him to shriek from the new wound. Seeing her chance, Pumpkin held the ruler close to her as she ran away from the office. Roger was holding his now bleeding hand. That bitch knows the game, doesn't she? He thought, enraged that his hostage knew what to do. 

As Pumpkin still didn't know where she was located, she didn't want to be rushing into any new type of danger. But, she recognized some of the tools that were in the building. "No way. This couldn't be Damien's workplace?" Pumpkin was shocked by how familiar the building looked. She couldn't believe it was Flutters, the company that Damien hates working for. 

Damien's boss was behind Pumpkin and she didn't notice him until a hand touched her shoulder. Reacting quickly, her weaponized ruler had cut Damien's boss, however because of him leaning down to Pumpkin's height, the ruler went through his throat. Shocked due to the fact that she had killed someone on accident, Pumpkin left the dying man on the ground as she ran around in a blind panic. No! I killed someone! I'm a murderer! She thought in horror as she glanced down a the ruler. Pumpkin gasped when she realized that the ruler wasn't in her hand anymore. She glanced towards the body of the man that had hired Damien and she saw the ruler sticking out from his throat. 

With a lot of fear running through her body, Pumpkin closed her eyes when she gripped the ruler and yanked it out. She fled from the body and she went to find another hiding spot. She laid the ruler down softly as she gripped her hair tightly. "Dang it. Dang it. Damn it," she whimpered as she gripped her hair very tightly. The way she was gripping her hair made it seem that she was going to pull her hair out. Soft sobs racked her body as she sobbed quietly to herself. 

She still couldn't believe that she had killed someone and it traumatized her greatly. She didn't want to kill another person like that again. As she whimpered, she felt faint as she collapsed onto the ruler, slicing her teary cheek. Hissing from the slight stung, she quickly pulled back and she covered her face. A cut marred her perfect skin, but she knew that the cut wasn't going to scar and so, she only cleaned the blood from the cut and she decided to rest where she was. She hoped that Roger couldn't find her as she was too tired to try to run away from him at the moment. 

Feeling fatigue from her first kill, Pumpkin just slumped down against the wall. Bile was in her throat, but Pumpkin didn't want to alert Roger of her location and so, she forced her bile down. Feeling sick in her mouth made Pumpkin almost dry heave, but she resisted the urge. However, remembering the dead made Pumpkin vomit. She vomit everything until there was nothing left. When she was done vomiting, tears were in her eyes as she covered her mouth to prevent more sobs from leaving her throat. She wondered how Damien couldn't feel guilty about his kills and she then realized that Damien doesn't kill innocent people. He kills people that deserve it. He did go after us one time. Pumpkin remembered the time that Damien's boss had brought in people to try and fight Damien. "Can I still be a villain if I kill people that deserves it?" She whispered, however the thought of killing another human being made Pumpkin sick again she dry heaved. I'm not made to kill people. I'm made to love people. Pumpkin decided that was her role in life: to love people. She loves Damien and she loves Alana as if she was her own child. 

Pumpkin found her purpose in life and she wanted to live her life to the every end. However, in order to survive the ordeal she was in, she had to fight back and fight back she will.
