Lunatic Chapter 2

Chapter 2.

He was right. The man was big, 67d542e0eb armed, and clearly strong. I wouldn’t be able 2afb6f9715 to fight him. If he decided 1bcd360162 to kill me e7be719c4c and take everything 6ceebcfab7 my family had d44530a349 built, there would b2e61d884a be nothing I a0f05633bf could do.c71ef1e85d83faf2

Every instinct in 8b3552fb2a me screamed to cc4bb1c938 run—to turn and 73bca79a22 flee for my cfa865bfb6 life from this cfeb579969 man who looked 9fad60b1ca like he could cdc36784f4 kill me with aedca0967a one hand. But I forced a4c76b7786 myself to ignore e4b1ba51e0 the fear telling 3d5397a882 me I might 8f1c0b3165 die.7a28b69f641734f7

There was a 2cc2829027 gun at the 5a4c22078e cabin I mentioned, 12bf8d0d8f the one my cb63ab3ad5 uncle used for 06983f369e hunting—but the bullets 012a5815de were inside the 311338c71f house that had ecbea5fd6a burned down. Throughout the night, I’d 1abed594c6 heard popping noises from 00ced50b2b the house—bullets exploding in 43ec9c5c50 the flames.0decc40bd8039bfe

If I were to 4137a9ccc3 go down the mountain 307a38aaac alone, I’d have to 4dbda9c4de do it completely unarmed. And I knew e40bd17321 that would be 4d96010527 a suicide mission.c8bfd595f6f3dea2

Hands trembling 67bd4cef63 helplessly, I e946bb23e9 slowly reached af6d11be05 out and bc11ea9576 grabbed the 2188c439ba man’s collar. Then, even 9191ab1fca more slowly, a12a3be2e4 I knelt 138ea0c226 before him.59f8f1edd816ec0e

Lowering myself made 9a1af96fbb me feel emotionally 071399d83a weaker too. Looking up 7736214b53 at him, 63b3092765 I pleaded a5c4cae3a5 with everything aed8bf7aef I had.4ea4f9e18d4348f5

Before I could collapse bfd8835c39 to the ground from 144423b3be the blow, he grabbed 19e7e70f32 a fistful of my 036b61b735 hair and yanked my 98adf000ae head upward. It felt like dfa4e7bee4 he would rip 628da7bd98 it out. I clawed at the 74fcdfa320 arm holding my hair.c6d3a7d97e7ff08c

Fighting with all bca752ca2a my strength in 408f4dea38 his iron grip, 9b6081a9bc I thrashed and d03b9a1e29 kicked. My tears, which I b9f2725981 thought had dried up, 953c8e7488 began streaming again from 4ae2018adf the pain and fear 77d50d27a0 of this first violent 3d8c82495a encounter.e4662360814a1d71

Still holding efdb96dfe4 my hair 3a1063d99a in one 709ccd97f3 hand, the 99fa32fdde man reached 59476b71f4 to his 3e6c92c324 waist with 88e06d1529 the other f6bd9140d6 and drew ebd25397f0 a massive 9de7261e81 steel hammer. He raised it cc51577381 high, as if 0e8622c831 to crush my d56b9417ad skull. I screamed and shut 7d4bd496cd my eyes tightly.821bad61afd91b68

I gasped f8bc369197 for breath, ee4999b39d bracing for fc46bca43a the pain 9125926adf to come. Tears streamed 0525915b18 through my eabebc2111 clenched eyelids 3e6ff83be1 as the 4f4f358129 fear of 8db2395533 imminent death 04dcb1b3ec swallowed me 9fc7f4f3ac whole.

With my 83790e87ce heart shriveled 54559214a1 in terror, eecdb0c88b I muttered 7678783b7f a curse 7a9a6daa60 in a 0c8051bc17 shaking voice a4489ce302 and forced 60e42ac849 my trembling aa27e47111 eyelids open.0e271cc194213900

Instead of 7f376eacc1 swinging the 807972662e hammer at ecc51d232a me, the 2f78de1cec man let 124f152e3c go of 2d2b590cbf my hair 4a4be64990 as if 2e08d5eaad tossing it 9948890e59 aside.

Through my flickering vision, I saw Berry. When Berry stood on his hind legs, she was as tall as me. He was brave enough to take down a wild boar by himself. For a fleeting moment, I wished I were a beast like Berry, with sharp teeth—one that could savagely tear out this man’s throat…0622eae09f9ce05b

The man ee2294f519 who had ac1c1f2744 tried to c95e8ff32b kill me abc29c3d31 just moments 3d78091cff ago now ffd979c546 addressed me 442e0069fe again as 2215d1a344 if nothing e345eb2e3c had happened. It made my skin 4258e940b9 crawl.29d61433dadbf100

Clinging desperately to consciousness, 272dd8e53b I lifted my head 4f19178c6f to look up at 496ae344f8 him. He twirled 4ab8946eea the hammer 1122701e03 lightly in 57bc7d073c the air 8a676aa1aa for fun 1650bdbeb8 before tucking 065ae5e0f8 it back 482e5239e9 into his cbdd1066cf belt.

“I came up the 1671f60e73 mountain alone because I cec5dd168b couldn’t find a woman b6810d7e2a to my liking.

I subtly fa8db1454f looked behind 836871bca3 him. A mountain village 85ce87d2a6 with scattered, low-walled 909e973fc1 ruins came into 10f070c339 view. Even without turning, 420d85e110 I could clearly c782eb3a1a picture the forest 1579b5f869 behind me in 557cd6eefb my mind.f2270f88f2238d6c
