11.How?

W I N T E R

“No she doesn't!”

What the- how? How the fudging-argh!!! You must be kidding me, right?

I lock my eyes with the owner of the voice, which he keeps shifting his eye contact to me and then to Xavier. He now grins evilly, which reminds me of Mr. Grinch.

Not now Satan, not today.

“How?” I ask what I can only say right now. I think I should try to sing 'Speechless' by Naomi Scott in my mind to get my stamina and words back.

He laughs evilly, filling up the whole room by his chuckles. He clicks his tongue in a weird way and look at my direction now wearing an evil grin.

“Oh… baby girl. You are so naughty under that innocent face of yours. How I wish I could tame yo-”

“You jerk!” Before I could process what's going on, Xavier is on top of the devil punching the hell out of him who I forgot to ask the name of, from Becky.

I stay where I am, not wanting to disturb them. Obviously, Xavier has the upper hand. The devil can't even stop him, forget laying a hand on him.

I just have this one doubt that, how can he come here alone and try to handle us when we have over numbered him? Maybe he thought it was one of his victim. Now it makes sense, he thought we were one his girl, but how did he know we are here in the first place.

“Stop Xavier!” I try to push him from the devil, but he ain't even budging. I now put my right hand on his chest and the other on his back, patting it soothingly.

“Hush… it's gonna be alright. Xavier, stop what you are doing an-and let's deal with this maturely. Okay?” I rush out my words and study his face.

It works and calms down Xavier. Xavier after three good punches gets off him and look in my direction.

His eyes soften and he sits down on the chair. I go towards his side and look at the devil, who is now bleeding severely.

“Why?” I ask, patiently waiting for his answer.

“W-w-wha-what?” The devil shivers in fear and groans when he tries to stretch a little.

“Why are you doing thi- no why were you doing that? Your so-called job, you say,”

“I don't k-know how to ear-earn then, *sigh* my parents were poor, and I didn't have n-nice childhood. An-and I don't have any talent too except to-” Before he could finish what the fudge he was saying, my fist landed on his already punched and bleeding cheek.

He groans and looks at me with rage that tells me that there will be revenge. But when he tries to stand up, he groans in pain because of the severe injury on his left foot and arms.

“Tsk Tsk Tsk… you really are a stupid person, right? Everyone has a talent each in their life and in the journey of your life you are supposed to find it. Not wait for it to pop out,” I continue, “People like you chooses the shortcut in earning which always turns out the wrong one in your decision. You know they say, karma is a bitch. Well, karma is a bitch to people like you.”

I look at Xavier's direction to see that he is staring at me with an intense expression. He shifts his attention to the beast lying on the floor, still groaning. I wonder how much girl's lives he has destroyed.

“How did you know that we were here?” Xavier speaks, his voice sounding like he is trying to control himself.

“Becky told me,” What the hell!

“What?!” I shout towards the man down the floor.

“She told me, a girl is going to come here t-to steal my documents of her sister's nudity video. I c-came here unguarded, thinking that I could handle her. Well… that b-bitch lied… I guess,”

I turn towards Xavier to see that he is also confused. Why the hell would Becky do that? Why the hell is my day-correction night getting more and more complicated. It's like the time when a girl who doesn't experience period cramps admits it to the world. And the next thing you know, god has listened to her saying that and grant her with 'em. Wow. Such a great feeling.

“What the fuck are you saying?” Xavier shouts towards the man who we don't even know his name.

“Yeah! What the fudge are you saying?” I join in. The man shivers from my voice, but I know that I am just making up this shit. The man was already shivering when he heard Xavier shouting at him.

“S-she told me. Bel-lieve me or not. She came to me at the club and told me that. S-so I came rushing here,” I have a special ability of studying expression because that came naturally after being a Pisces.

So, when he said that, I knew he was telling us the truth.
