Chapter 157 - Volunteers (1/2)
I look up at the sky through the bare trees to see nothing but grey skies and smile. The way the temperature keeps dropping, I wouldn't be surprised if it started snowing. I haven't seen snow in... well, it had been about five years. It would be nice to see it again!
As we walk further into the woods the sky grows darker and darker as the clouds above us grow heavier and heavier but when we hear snickering, we all come to a stop to see a large group of men surrounding us.
As I look closer, the men before us all have solid black eyes! I swallow hard as I look at their numbers and silently curse. I wanted to kill them, not get killed! There's ten of them! I had a hard time taking on just three of them...
Bai Lei and Ren quickly come to my sides as they unsheathe their long swords. Bai Lei glares at the men as one of them steps closer while saying ”We'll let you two go if you hand the woman to us.” Bai Lei and Ren both scoff at the man as Bai Lei says ”You're courting death.”
The man looks mildly surprised before he and the others all start laughing. He struggles to control his laughter as he looks back to Bai Lei and says ”Fine, I'll let you and your friend watch as each one of us gets a turn with the pretty lady before sucking her die. Then, we'll slowly kill you both.”
My anger builds at his words and I find myself wondering yet again why men always feel the need to rape women! Why!? I keep my head lowered and glance at the man speaking to Bai Lei as I softly call out ”Bai Lei... step aside please.”
The man's solid black eyes turn to me, his face showing a slight surprise. Bai Lei struggles to listen to me but he clenches his teeth and slightly steps to the side so I can face the man head-on. The surrounding woods become eerie silent as the first snow of the year slowly starts to fall.
I slowly look up and lock eyes with the man, watching as his mild surprise turns into shock. ”Such a beauty we have here... looks like luck is on our side.” He says with a growing smile. I silently stare at the man before looking around at the other men.
Their looks range from shock, surprise, lust, desire, and other dark thoughts as I silently look at them all. Snow continues to silently fall, making it look like something from a dream. My anger and disappointment grow as I realize the first snow was ruined by them.
”Have you ever thought about the things you've done and how wrong they are?” I ask out of curiosity, causing the men to chuckle. The man in front of me says ”Woman, we are gods. We are untouchable! We see what we want and take it. Why would we question our way of life? If you willingly come to us, we'll make sure you feel good as well.”
Bai Lei clenches his sword in his hand as he struggles to remain calm. Ren's anger spikes as well but he holds back, waiting.
I guess I got my answer... I won't feel bad for what I'm about to do. Everyone is quiet as I slowly reach up and lower the hoodie. The surrounding men all suck in as they look at the beauty in front of them. The snow falls around her making her look like a fairy from a story.
When her eyes finally look up to them, their hearts nearly stop. Green! They're green!! The men look at the woman with shock and awe... she doesn't look real! They got a small glimpse of her before but the hood truly hid her full beauty. The snow silently falls as I look at the frozen men around us.
I take a deep breath in and nearly fall over with delight. I moan as a dark smile slips across my red lips. Bai Lei and Ren both freeze as the men around us inch closer, lust and desire clouding their once clear eyes.
