Survival Under Protection - Book Two (Sequel)

1- The first brick of the past

Happy Reading :)

Rosy was 17 and a beautiful school girl who always dreamed of meeting a handsome man who would love her more than anyone loved anyone else in the entire world. Though she was adored by her loving and yet strict older brother's Garry and Harry Wilson, she still missed her parents who died years back... especially her mother in her teenage years and so she filled her loneliness with stories of having a strong and also a loving and caring husband.

And unlike all her expectations, she got one in her life in the middle of a night when she was alone at home. Her brothers had left for their business to meet a high-profile client. They were convinced that their little sister will safe at night in their home but who knew that the same night a gang of five thieves would attack their house.

The leader of that gang, strong and giant in structure and one of the most ferocious in that town of Beaufort, made a clear instruction, tie-down if anyone in the house made a sound and hurt them only if they try to stop their work and get every precious jewelry, money out within an hour.

The fellow thieves knew that their boss was very particular about his instructions and they were ready to gather the expensive stuff and flee away as soon as possible. They were quite skilled in looting houses and no police in the past two years had been able to catch them off.

They entered the house by skillfully cutting of the rods behind an open window and with utmost silence and precaution. They were convinced that everyone was sleeping as none of the lights lit in that house, except a dim, night light. But to their shocker, a petite girl beside a large fridge screamed her heart out.

The leader of the gang threw himself over the petite girl and they both fell on the floor and the leader hovered on her top, roughly covered her mouth to stop her from screaming. The fellow members knew what they had to do and started their work fast and skillfully and one of the members got a rope to tie down the girl but the gang leader did not leave her as she kept on struggling under his strong hold.

Almost all the money, jewelry and expensive stuff were bagged-in but the gang leader was not ready to leave yet.

"Boss, we have to leave now. Everything is packed!" One of the members called out.
"Not yet, fellas. We have been working our asses off without a break for years in stretch and I think I have got my prize for that, isn't it, pretty girl?" The leader ranted out and the girl squirmed under his tight hold even more. She tried hard to scream but the rough hand of the gang-leader did not let her.

"But boss, we must leave now reach our place before the sunlight. We can't delay further." One of the men spoke in a sheer hurry.

"Ah, you are ruining my moment. Shut up now! I got to enjoy my prize tonight. Don't worry, even you lads can avail your chances!" The leader said and with that, he tried to undress the girl and the girl screamed on top of her voice for his mercy.

But the beast had overpowered the man's empathy. And to the shocker of the fellow thieves the leader lost his sanity to the beautiful teenager in her white sleeping dress. The four folks looked at each other in utter confusion and hesitation. But no one dared to utter a voice.
They looked at the scene in horror, they knew it was unethical. They had always robbed people's money, but never they robbed someone's soul and honor. But the moment shook all of them when the girl with the last ounce of strength left punched the leader's face and the gang-leader started thrashing and swearing at the girl.

"Boss, please... you have to stop this, now. This-this is wrong." A skinny but tall boy finally came forward and spoke in a timid voice.

"I said you too will get your chance, now BACK OFF!" The leader shouted and to his dismay, the tall boy didn't back down. Instead, he took his small but pointed knife out of his shoes and with a little shaky hand he dared to threaten his leader, his master, and his only guardian.

That shook the leader this time and he finally left the girl alone and stood tall, "You dared to threaten me with that knife, you ungrateful rat!"
The girl tried to seize the moment and run to the door but froze to standstill when the leader growled at her, "you make one more move and your loved once will find multiple pieces of you in the entire house!"

The boy looked a little scared, took a step back but, unintentionally, when his eyes met with that of the bruised girl, he had a different feeling. No one looked at him with so much trust and emotion as this girl did and the boy gulped down his last drop of fear and answered back, "Master, I am not threatening you, but just pleading you. Let the girl go. We rob money and not someone's dignity!"

"That's it. Chant your last prayer and breathe your last breath." The leader roared and took his long knife out of his pocket and lunged it on the boy. The boy swiftly moves away but still having a deep cut on his left arm.

"Boss, please stop! We can't fight among ourselves that too for a girl! You always told us to stay away from girls and love-affairs!" One of the other three thieves called out but got wounded badly when the leader jabbed his long and fiery knife through his abdomen.

The tall boy gasped, looking at his injured friend who was already unconscious. The girl threw a sharp cry and ran again towards the main door, but the leader pounced on her, still unwilling to leave his prize.

"I give you the last warning, master. Leave her right now!" The boy called out now while the other two members were checking their injured friend.
"Else what? You will leave me? Go, Go away! I don't need anyone. I can kill you all and raise a new gang. I will train my own son and brother this time! I can survive alone until then and enjoy my prize now." The leader cried and started attacking the girl again.

"Help me, please!" The girl pleaded the boy as if she was dependant on him completely and the boy forgot all about his childhood days with his only guardian, his master, and lunged at him and jabbed the knife on the leader's neck.

He saw his only guardian in a pool of blood, but his master's eyes looked hurt and betrayed. The boy tried to comfort his master in his last seconds of life but the master refused his care and slowly turned lifeless. The boy realized soon that he wasn't dreaming and killed the only family he ever had. He started crying out loud and even the three other boys became quiet as dead.

But the next moment, the crying boy got hugged from behind and the emotionally shattered boy, for the first time, found peace, strength, and joy from that timid and shivering girl.

The girl too knew that her decision was inaneand stupid, but she had already given her heart and soul to the boy she met just half-hour ago... Forothers, he might be a mere thief and a reckless boy, but for her, he was her prince, her savior, who would always love and protect her no matter what and she too wasready to fight with the entire world just to be with him.

But only if she knew that this night and then her reckless decision was going tocreate repercussions that even the later generations had to pay the price.
