Taking My Revenge

Chapter 9 - Witness

I stay on the park for a while, as I let time pass by. I close my eyes, letting myself to relax in peace that I found alone as I still sit.

I lean the back of my head on the backrest of expanded metal bench I am sitting on. Savoring each moment.

As a ball land on my feet, I open my eyes and reach my hand to pick up the ball, a young girl run and stop infront of me.

She's the child I've been looking before with her family's in the park. As I look ahead, I saw her parents having a conversation with some of the other parent couple.

I look back at the child in front of me , who is now waiting for me to hand her ball back. I smile and give it to her.

"Next time don't let this ball roll Every where, you might loss it" I said and patted her head.

She smiled back and nodded as she run again and continue to play with the other children.

I sit again, and just observe them, as they are now having fun on playing with their new friends.

They laugh, and some chase the other kid. The little girl kick the ball again, having another kid on the opposite side to catch the ball

But the ball slipped as it been kick. the kid on the opposite side did not catch the ball. As it bounce to the direction of busy road of the city.

It takes me seconds to process that the girl are now chasing the ball, I look at her parents direction. They did not notice their child.

Shit!

I immediately run to her direction, as the girl is now on the road picking up her ball.

I look to the other side of the road and saw a truck, it's driving fast as the stop light turned into green.

Fuck! That bastard is going to hit that child!

I run faster than I could , I feel my breathing become fast as I became breathless from running.

Kathie Run and jump over the fences to chase and save the girl but she still far away to reach the girls position, as the truck got nearer and nearer.

The trackman never notice a child as it plug a loud music on it's ears, people around the busy road are now shouting to give warn, but it never get on the truck driver.

Kathie is losing the probability to save the young one as the truck got 1 feet away from where the girl is.

And then, everything is in slow motion in her eyes, Kathie scream.

'STOOP!!!' as she stretch her arms out, when she feel the same warmth in the lockers incident.

Her speed gathered up, and suddenly she's infront of the child, she hugged it immediately to protect from the impact.

The truck hit Kathie.

But Kathie Open her eyes, as she hear the young girl sobs, she look at the truck that are now infront of her. It has a huge hole on its front. It stop, but the horn keep beeping as the head of the unconscious driver land on it.

Her hand has been bruise and are wounded, as it still holding the front of now destroyed truck.

Kathie felt surprise to the whole accident as she stood up and turn her head to the people who witness the accident.

They had witness how it stop. How Kathie use her hand to do so. Nervousness took kathies body. As now blood keep on dripping from her hand.

The parents of the child run to the young girl and hugged tightly their daughter.

The mother cried as the men make a horrified look while checking her daughter for possible wounds from trucks impact.

He calmed down as he look to Kathie and said 'thank you for saving my daughter's life' he handed his calling card to Kathie, Kathie took it.

" If I can do anything to help you and repay my gratitude, just give me a call" he finished.

As now the siren of both police and ambulance sorrounded the area, Kathie Panicked as she run and manage to scape from the incident and through her penthouse.

But before she did it, she saw those people's eyes in shock and mortified.

Kathie immediately enter her room, straight to her bathroom .

She held the first aid kit in her hand, as she let her wounded hand on a running water so it will be clean, she groan and grunted in pain. But she still did the necessary part of disinfecting her wound.

She lost blood, and now feel dizzy, she still can hear the sound of sirens not too far from her penthouse place.

Kathie stood up as now sweat skip on it's forehead and her body are shaking.

She slowly step outside the bath room and hold her desk for support, she open the drawer and found some bandage.

Kathie sat down on the bed, and calm her self from shaking. How things happen in a spilt of second, how's life gives you s**t when you found peace, and how would she keep her true identity now , having all of those witness.

It will not going to be long enough before those killers who killed her family found her. She shouted to keep out her anger. Until she finally calm down.

She started to wrap the bandage on her hand, but her eyes got widen as she look at the wound heal slowly in front of her eyes.

It's like a magic, as now she saw her wounded hand heal up completely as if nothing happened.

She suddenly got up and look at the mirror, she rip the patch on her cheek. As the wound created by a knife on the locker incident is now completely healed, with no scars.

She slump on her bed, how come she did not notice, she just keep her gaze in her room while thinking.

So this is how I manage to avoid blemish on my skin, as I remember the day I've been bullied on the orphanage, or having some wound in camping.

A sudden ring from my phone echoed in my room, I fix myself from the shock, and compose myself before answering.

"Hey sweetie, don't forget the dinner 8 Sharp , don't be late were going to wait for you here in our mansion so we can go together" papa said as now excitement are visible in his voice.

I calm my breathing to sound normal as I can be " yes pa, I'll be there in -" I look at my clock it says 6:00 in the evening. "In seven" I finished.

Pa got silent for a moment and said " is there any problem dearie, you sound troubled" he finished.

I gulped and make some excuse. " No pa, I'm fine , I just finished taking some shower and it makes me shiver taking my time, no worries, see yah tonight". I responded.

The excited tone of his voice came back "Ok Kathie, we'll wait for you. wear some formal dress ok. I love you" he said and hung up.

I let out a deep breath that I've been holding inside. I need to be prepared I still have an hour.
