In Love With The Enemy Behind The Gates

Chapter 7

*Recap*

"Be My Wife" Except that !

"Never!" 

"Okay its your choice, I guess you can kiss your freedom and your family goodbye then"

"Wait! what do you mean my family? please don't hurt them" at this point I was desperate to keep my family alive.

"Well then my dear, do we have a deal?" oh father forgive me I hope you know that this is the only thing I could do to keep you safe.

I choked back my tears as I looked up to see the man that had just ruined my life and said "Deal"

======================================================================================

I sat down at the beach and watched the soldiers unload their belogings and equipment from the boat. I kept quiet and didnt make eye contact with any of them. I would once in a while glance up and see furukawa looking at me, i immediately looked back down too scared to face him and his troop. I turned around towards the gate expecting Marcella's lifeless body to still be there, but to my surprise it wasnt. 

I saw furukawa was in deep conversation with his general, so i decided that I was going to  ask one of the soldiers what happened with marcellas body. The soldiers  were still unloading the boat and I saw one soldier in particular who seem to struggle with the artillery equipment. By the time he reached a closer distance I stood in front of him and immediately his eyes met mine. He looked about the same age furukawa, they both looked young. I'm surprise furukawa was in a higher rank for someone who looked 18 or 19.

"Excuse me I'm wondering what happened to my friends body that was near the gate?" he didn't say anything but instead he looked out to sea.

"In the ocean?" I pointed he didn't say anything and continued to drag the heavy artillery towards the site.  I sat down watching the sun set on the horizon. thinking out loud that I may never be able to see my family again, or worse never be able to see the light of day.

I lost my train of thought when I heard laughter from the soldiers who were enjoying their foreign beverage. Some looked like they were picking fights with each other and some just looked over in my direction. I accidently made eye contact with one.

I quickly looked away hoping he didn't come my way but he did. he grabbed me by my forearm and I yelped in pain, he had a firm grip and I was desperately trying to free from his hold. He muttered something in Japanese before leaning close. He reeked of alcohol and I wasn't strong enough to be able to fight him off. He leaned in and starting kissing my neck. I was scared that he would do the unthinkable so I did what I had to do for my own safety. 

My knee connected to his groin and he immediately dropped to the floor and screamed in pain. I ran towards the tent that I was in but the other guys had surrounded me. 

The soldier that I had kicked a few minutes ago was walking towards us. He gave a command in Japanese and the men grabbed me and made me kneel. The soldier came and took out a blade and held it out to my neck. he looked at me with a smirk "Now if you cooperate you wont feel any pain. Well maybe a little but I promise it'll go away a few seconds after"

I cried for help and no luck I saw the same boy that I spoke to earlier but I could tell he was hesitant. I felt a sting on my face and I could taste blood in my mouth. the beatings continued until I heard a gun go off. I opened my eyes and I saw the soldier in front of me lying lifeless on the sand. I heard someone yelling and instantly my arms were free. I quickly used my hands to cover parts of my upper body that had been revealed.

while the soldiers all scattered away I looked up and met furukawa. His eyes held pain and sadness. he knelt down in front of me and wiped away the tears from my eyes. he muttered a command to the young soldier. moments later the young soldier returned with a blanket. he retrieved it and put it over my shoulders.

I didn't know what his angle was but for a moment I saw a sincere human being, not a enemy. he helped me up and walked me towards the tent that I was previously in when I was caught. I thanked him for helping me, he gave me a small nod and he made his way out.

I couldn't stop the tears from falling. I was close to being raped, I am held here against my will, and not to mention I will never be able to see my family again.
