Chapter 151 A Failure?
Chapter 151 A Failure?
?
Seeing the mutant lion beast leaping over her fallen figure, Beatrix knew her fate was doomed.
A part of her wanted to shut her eyes in annoyance.
The emotion filled was sheer frustration, resentment and helplessness.
Frustration was because her first time was taken away forcefully, resentment was because she was not strong enough nor had a conspiring brain to plot against Elandor and lastly, helplessness was because at this moment, her mind was too preoccupied with other things that she failed to climb even a simple tree properly!
But still even in spite of all this, she felt reluctant to kill the child in her womb. She knew there was something wrong with her brain.
Something screamed inside that perhaps she is a failure.
A failure as a lover, who broke her chastity with a vile man.
A failure as a daughter, who wanted to commit suicide without caring about her parents and all those relatives who might be sad after her death.
A failure as a woman, who can't even stand back from a setback and make her stand. Why was she such a coward that she ran away the moment she saw Louis and Shouta entangled together? Why didn't she confront Louis head-on instead of running away?
And not to forget…..
A failure as a mother, who wants to kill an innocent life brewing inside her, a new life which is pure and untainted by these worldly filths.
When did she become so cruel and heartless that she would kill an unborn infant without blinking an eye?
And last but not the least, a failure as a human being!
The biggest quality of a human is its tenacity and undying willingness.
If everyone who faced some adversary gave up their life like her then the human evolution wouldn't happen, then you won't be seeing today's big and prosperous cities, then you won't be seeing such a modern human civilisation.
As a perfect heroine tailor-made for protagonists like Louis and Shouta, she was even more sensitive to such concepts and when, after cooling-down while walking alone on this dark path, she recalled everything with a clear mind of what she was about to do earlier and how reckless her actions were trying to take her own life by jumping into the river!
It took only a moment or so before she realised how small-minded and narrow her thought-process and actions were.
"Ughhhh."
"People say when one is about to die, he or she recalls all the regrets and lingering feelings in their hearts. I guess I am no different."
The earlier timidness in her eyes disappeared as what replaced it was a resisting and strong look.
Even if this beast wants to eat her, she won't let it be easy.
Even if she is doomed to die, she will fight till her last breath.
Within a spur of a second, she came up with a plan: When the beast will bite her neck, with all her might she will pierce her nails into its eyes and pull its eyeballs.
This is the price that the beast must pay.
If it wants to eat her then get ready to be blind for the rest of its life.
"Bring it on!"
Like a strong woman, she slowly yet valinatly lifted her head to greet the incoming enemy.
The mutant beast, because of growing in such a strange place, had already developed its own wisdom.
Seeing the little actions of Beatrix, it just sneered.
In its eyes, what resistance can a fragile prey like her make?
It opened its mouth wide as its slavia dropped down in the air, the mutant lion beast was very happy.
Eating a big prey like Beatrix would mean it won't have to worry about food for at least a week.
600 centimeters
400 centimeters
300 centimeters
200 centimeters
...…..but when it was just a 100 centimeters away, a big and heavy stone, at a speed much faster than its, hit its widely opened mouth.
From the impact, it could be easily seen that the speed and force of the stone thrown was not something an ordinary person could achieve.
The mutant lion beast, unable to resist the powerful impact, was blown straight-away and hit the bark of the adjoining tree.
Beatrix, who was ready to embrace death fearlessly, was taken aback. The new development was too sudden for her; she could only be a mere spectator.
But her questions were indirectly answered as she heard his voice.
"I am sorry, I am late!"
She did not know when, the boy who forcefully ravished her yesterday, was standing just a few meters behind her.
The heavy panting and restlessness in his voice told that he must have run continuously at a crazy speed to catch on to her.
Ignoring her bewildered gaze, I narrowed the distance…..
Gracefully, I bent down and put my hands on her waist, period!
The moment I touched her, I felt her entire skin tremble with an uncertain response.
This time she was obedient, and let me support her to stand back.
Her eyes seemed to be somewhat dodging.
Seeing the opportunity was right, after making her stand up, I held her shoulders firmly.bender
My eyes looked deeply at hers as I slowly whispered..
"Thank you!"
"Thank you for staying alive!"
"Thank you for not giving up on your life so easily and trying to run away and scream to get away from that mutant beast!"
The gentleness in my words was genuine.
Only I knew how worried I was, because of my bloodline connection with Beatrix and her staying in my perception range, I could feel the strong palpitations in my heart…..like she was facing her worst crisis.
I could vaguely seem to feel her emotions that one conveys when they are about to pass on to the afterlife.
It made my heart heavy as I rushed here with all the energy I had.
To make matters worse, the moment I felt that I was near Beatrix, I heard her screams, she was shouting desperately for someone to help her.
Thankfully, I was in time and threw the small-medium-sized boulder next to me before that mutant beast could feast upon Beatrix.
Like Elandor, Beatrix, who saw his deep gaze full of worry, had a mixed response.
Her mind was shouting- Why is he here?
But the moment she heard him saying thank you for staying alive, something...
.....Something felt warm deep within her heart.
