♥ Chapter 38♥
11:20 '' Horizonte Penitentiary. '' Cafeteria. '' Zephyria.
Demon.
I realized that she had fallen asleep with her head on my shoulder, and I ran my tongue over my lips, feeling a mixture of anger and worry. I went into my cell, placing her carefully on my bed, and looked at her blood-stained overalls.
Furthermore, I'm going to kill the bastard who did this to you.
I ran my hand through her hair carefully so as not to wake her, feeling the presence of her friends behind me.
''Who did this to her? ''I asked without stopping stroking her hair.
"It was Nebula's friends," Dina replied quickly.
I stopped stroking her and looked at them.
"Is Nebula involved in this too? "I asked coldly.
"We don't know... But I don't doubt anything. That girl is capable of anything; she's jealous of Aurelia. '' Dora said spitefully.
I looked again at Aurelia, who was sleeping peacefully. I ran my thumb over her left cheek, which wasn't bruised, feeling a wave of protection and determination flood through me.
'' Stay with her; I don't want her to be alone if she wakes up. '' I kissed her forehead and stood up, feeling a wave of anger and hatred rise up inside me.
''W-What are you going to do? ''Hina asked nervously, her eyes reflecting her worry.
I looked at her and gave her a frightening smile, my mind buzzing with dark thoughts.
''I'm going to kill you for hurting what's mine. ''My voice came out full of anger, and they just nodded, unable to articulate a word in the face of my intensity.
I walked past them towards the cafeteria, each step echoing my determination to avenge Aurelia. I'm not leaving any of them alive. All this shit has to stop. I won't allow my little doll to be hurt by anyone else.
I went downstairs, looking around for those unfortunates, my vision blurred by the fury bubbling up inside me.
'' Boss? '' I looked over, seeing Dragon. ''Your overalls are covered in blood; what happened? '' He asked worriedly, but his concern only fueled my anger even more.
''It's not mine. ''I replied harshly, my voice filled with hatred. ''That's Aurelia's blood. '' He looked at me in surprise, but his astonishment only inflamed my anger even more. ''Nebula's little friends decided to hurt her by cutting her cheek.
'' What are you going to do? '' He asked, noticing the seriousness in my expression.
''I'm going to show everyone here that those who dare touch my doll again will quickly meet their death. '' I replied, my voice cold and implacable, making him nod in understanding, while the anger boiled inside me, ready to be unleashed.
I found Nebula's friends talking to her, and I gave a sideways smile, a flame of anger burning in my chest as I slowly approached, the Dragon following behind me like a sinister shadow.
''I hope I'm not interrupting something interesting,'' I said, resting my hands on the table, my voice laden with sarcasm and menace.
'' Love? Of course not! ''Nebula said it excitedly, trying to disguise her nervousness. ''Are you looking for me? ''She looked at me with false innocence, but I shifted my gaze to David, her dear friend, whose face was pale with fear.
''You know why I'm here, don't you? ''My voice came out as a threatening whisper, making him visibly tremble. ''Well, I can see that you do.
I looked at the rest of his friends, all trembling with fear at my dominating presence.
''This is so much fun. ''I moved towards David, who shrank even more, feeling the shadow of my anger hanging over him. ''Did you really think you could hurt my little doll and get away with it? ''I smiled, but it was a cruel, predatory smile. ''No, you're going to taste your own poison.
I grabbed its head and slammed it hard into the table, making it groan in pain, but my anger only grew.
''Dragon, give me a knife. ''He quickly took it out of his pocket and handed it to me. ''You cut my little doll's cheek, didn't you?
'' N-N-N-No! '' He stammered, but I slammed his head harder into the table, demanding a clear answer.
'' Answer me, damn it! Was it you or not!
I ran the blade across his cheek; he started to cry, but the truth was clear on his tortured face.
'' Yes, it was me!
'' And why did you hurt my girl?'' I cut a little deeper into his cheek, intensifying his pain and his crying.
He didn't answer, which only increased my fury. I pulled his hair hard, almost tearing his scalp off, putting the knife to his throat and pressing hard, cutting a little.
'' Are you going to answer me now!?
'' She...She... stole you from Nebula. '' He stammered between sobs.
I snorted with contempt at his answer. Anger burned inside me, consuming any remnants of compassion.
