Tainted Teardrops [Book no.1- Dhatins of 3030 Indonesia] ✔

11 | a friend or a foe?

~ Amity's POV, continuation~

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The sound that is produced from the small handgun in my hand fires off fast, its obnoxious rumble shocking me. Henrik said that a single shot from the poison infused in this gun can annihilate even the most powerful dhatin of Vampire. Could he really be right?

Aghast from the sudden blow at the back of her head, Violet stumbles, and falls. Yes! It's working. Then all I have to is-

All of a sudden, my thoughts are stopped by a hard metal object that slams the back of my head. Dizzy from the pain, I try to make out what- or who- did such a thing to me. Limping across the blood-ridden floors, I try to reach out to retrieve my handgun in vain, but then I see Violet's alligator skin-heeled boot crush it in one go.

She touches the back of her head, and I see that her wound has already started to heal, becoming a purplish-looking bruise. Though she's just been knocked out, she's still alive: and I know:

I'm absolutely dead meat.

" Just who do you think you are, you bitch!" She spat, as she slaps my right cheek hard. This sends me flying across the room, for her single slap is powerful and the wrath of her anger is only at its beginning. For a dhatin of Vampire's strength is as robust as it is praised, and a measly human turned dhatin of Blight like me couldn't best the likes of Violet Darc herself. 

But even after my sudden, obliterating defeat, I don't give up my cause for fighting her, and I cry out, " I r-refuse to STOP fighting you until you s-stop hurting him! What did he do to you? Do you really think that just because you're higher up the social hierarchy that you can treat those below you like filth? You're the one who's the bitch!" 

" W-what did YOU just say?!" She fires back, her eyes glowing bright red, trying to imitate fear. 

I can sense it within me that she won't back down without a fight, and I'm about fifty percent correct on that part. Because, right then and there, she says with a sneer, " Oh? I didn't know that you know my boyfriend here, little girl?" She's mocking me with her words, and right in front of me, she grabs Kersen by the collar and plants a kiss on his wounded cheek. He tries to look away from her, but she grabs tight onto him, looking more like she's trying to seduce him rather than tear him apart, about to rip open his flesh to her liking. 

" Lele... I-I" Kersen begins to say, but then Violet shuts him up with a kiss. 

" Shh, my dear. Let me feast," She says, and once she's done, she walks over to where I lay on the other side of the room, my body still crushed by the brick walls that Violet had ripped open a hole in the walls. 

When I'm about to rise from where I lay, she grabs me by the hair, aggressively saying, " See? What did I tell you, little girl? You-"

She begins to say, but as I cough out the blood, I interrupt saying, " First of all, I'm not a 'little' girl like you think of me as. I'm practically the same age as you, Violet. And, second of all, do you seriously think that you can fool me like that? He clearly doesn't feel the same way you do."

" Shut it." She whispers, tears running from her eyes. 

She turns to Kersen, and begs him, " do you hear her, Kersen? J-just w-who does she think she is, spitting those words out like that-" 

" She's right you know, Lele..." He mumbles under his breath, too quiet for her to hear, but I hear him, almost too clearly. 

" What did you say?" She asks him, and I see that amidst of her rage and tormenting me, her knees go weak, and she's crying. Oh? So little miss drama queen really does have a heart?
