LOVE IMPERFECTION

16*

"How?".

"I will burn you alive, I will burn this whole place down".

He cocked his head to the side "With what?"

With what, is he crazy. There's petrol everywhere and he's asking me with what.

Fire..

I realised what he meant. I put on a daring face.
"I will burn you alive if you come near me, I have a lighter here".

"Really". He snort and began to walk.

"Stay there am warning you,  otherwise.."

"What?"

"I dare you to come here and I will burn you" I yelled in a dreadful voice.

He stoped walking and started looking around. His gaze lingered on the flour, gallons and then to me.

"Get away from me". Voice high pitched, sweating and a racing heart.

He looked hesitant to move then suddenly he retreated. He took slow steps backwards .

"Grab her". He ordered looking behind, I turned quickly only to find no one.

He pushed me to the wall.

"You think you are smart, I will show you". His breath was smelly and suffocating.

Before I couldnt figure anything out, he used his huge hand to hold both my hands and tried tearing off my shirt.

I screamed so hard that he stumbled backwards. I pushed some cartons between us to stalk him and find a way out of this.

I used both my hands to cover my chest and began to look around for any object I could use against him.

A hammer was laying around in an empty cartoon, I quickly grabbed it. My whole body was trembling and sweating.

My hair strands got soaked with sweat and began to stick and lay to my face.

I just wanted to get out of this situation, nothing else matters.

His face looked scary, his nose and forehead sweats and he held a killer look.

With all might he hurried towards me and I tighten my grasp on the hammer and targeted his head.

I raised it in the air and hit him hard on the head with hit, he fell numbly on the ground with blood oozing out of his forehead.

Seeing so much blood completely diluted my thoughts.

What should I do now?

Run you fool, forget about him.

"Lily" I hears BC's voice as the door was kicked open.

Upon hearing his voice I ran to himonly.

"BC" I called out, Hugging him tightly and let out a cry.

"Lily". he whispered and hugged me back. We stayed that way for more than a minute before I remembered my shirt was torn a bit over my chest.

I pulled back quickly and turn my back on him putting my hands on my chest.

He didn't say anything nor did I hear any movement for a second then he carefully covered me with his shirt from behind.

I pulled it in and wore it. After buttoning up I turned back, I was feeling a little embarrassed so I held down my head.

"Thank you".

"We have to get out of here, come". He held my hand but I refused to move.

He turned and gave me a questioning look.

I tilted my head to the side and glanced at the unconscious man.

"What if he's dead?."I asked, fear visible in my voice.

"He will be fine, come on". he pulled me and we took off running inside the long corridor.

We passed so many locked room, its like an abandoned castle.

"Where's the way out?" I asked in a whisper.

"I don't know yet, am trying to figure out".

"Going somewhere?". we heard behind us. Oh God!.

We stiff and exchange fearful looks, With slow steps we turn around to find another huge man standing behind us.

"Please let us go, I am begging you". I folded my hands, crying.

At the moment it was all I could do, I have already maybe killed someone and I don't want to again or this, it could be me getting murdered.

And I just wanna go to my dad, he must be so worried about me.

"He payed me little money anyway and you two sweet kids aren't my concern so you might as well just leave". He shrugged.

Oh! That was easy.

I mustered a relieve smile and we turn on our heels and left.

As soon as we stepped out of the house, Someone hit BC on the head with a rod and he fell unconscious.

He was the first to step out before me and he ended up fainting. I looked up and find Adrian standing above us with a rod and a gallon of petrol.

I was quick to pull on his leg to the ground leaving the rod and gallon he rolled down the ground.

I ran to get them in my possession the gallon but he beat me to it and kicked it harder away.
