"Excuse me, sir, where is the nearest carriage?" I asked politely, hoping my cheerful facade would make the gentleman tell me.
"If you must know young lady, you must show me something 'private' of yours," The man said with a devilish smile, malice creeping around him.
"This harrowing creep…" I muttered under my breath. I already wanted to put an end to his life, but I could not give hints for Lee to track me down, or police locking me up.
"Excuse me, that's not very gentlemanlike of you. Please, tell me where is the carriage, and I'll be on my merry way" I said with a fake smile, the bitter-sweetness of the words made my mouth taint with disgust.
"I need payment first. Come on, it won't be that bad," the man said. He started to reach out to grab my arm, his devilish smile widened, his mind clouded by lust and desire.
I couldn't hold back anymore. I grabbed his arm and put him in an armbar. "I will pay in money, either I break your elbow and force the answer out of you, or you tell me willingly where the carriage is." My voice changed, no longer sweet, just pure bitterness as the words rolled off my tongue, my mind filled with vicious intent from the man's behavior.
"Please!! Don't hurt me! I'll tell you where the carriage is, just leave me alone!" The man trembled in fear, almost giving up too easily….
"Stop with the damn facade," I said, warning him as I stared into his soul, getting way too agitated for this.
"You caught me, you little minx." He grins, burring his eyes into mine, suddenly turns his other arm, and tries to hit the back of my neck.
I was amused, and a slight chuckle emitted out of my mouth, "Fuck, well, you chose this." I say simply before grabbing his hand, breaking his elbow with a shoulder nudge, For my lasting blow I use my left leg to sweep him off the floor. As I move his hand, I strike it to his neck, effectively knocking him out.
As a sense of pride washed over me, I said, walking away from the scene, "You are a weak person who preys on the weaker."
"Hey!! Get back here!" Someone yelled out, I turned around to see the commotion and saw a guard running at me.
"Shit"
I bolted.
Although I hated running every day, it was a good thing. I was trained for this my entire life, and because of that, they couldn't and will never keep up with me. Too laborious.
