Alpha King of Water

DYING

ZARYA’S POV

“Zarya…” Someone tapped my cheek. When I looked at her, it was Matilda, one of the prisoners. The one that even she said she would kill me. I trusted her. I moved up. I leaned on the cement and gazed at her. “Are you crazy? Why are you sleeping?”

“It’s time for sleep.”

“You damn it! You should not sleep if you want to see the next morning!” I was shocked when she slapped me, the way Hali slapped me. I glared at her. Although I was mad at her hit on my cheek, I just ignored it. She was right in all aspects.

If Hali thought I would die in this Dungeon. I would never let his thoughts win. I bravely stood when the Dungeon closed. From the moment, it was sealed, the Big Woman attacked me. I had even now her name. She kicked me, causing me to land on the cement. I gazed down at Matilda. She did not do anything. She did not even help me. I felt I was betrayed by her or she was just afraid of these women.

“We can buddy, but sadly, you’re consuming more oxygen and space even if your height is small.” The big woman laughed followed by the others. They did not even bother to join the tension. Just staring and watching like what Matilda doing.

She hurried towards me. I was about to doge on my side when she punched me on my stomach. “Ahh!” I grabbed my belly as I was twisting my body. One of the weaknesses of the women was the belly. The stinging sensation was there. When my body bent, I could not stand straight.

“You’re not a warrior, are you?” The Big Woman bent his knee to check on my face. “Pretty, but worthless.”

I fought her stare at me while making myself adapt to the pain. I was exhaling and inhaling to lessen the ache that I was dealing with at the moment. “What’s your… name?” I managed to talk even though I was almost collapsing due to her strike on my belly. She was a good puncher that even seconds later, her hit on me did not change its feeling.

“Call me skull, Kid.”

I forced myself to stand bravely. In just one blink of an eye, I kicked her belly as she did to me. “Any last words, Skull?”

The grin could be traced on her lips. “I think I will enjoy this.”

“That’s your last words? I will enjoy, too.” I jumped so high as I leaned my feet on the wall. When m feet stopped on the wall. I attacked her immediately. I gave her a strong uppercut. She moved backward. I was about to kick her again when she held my feet and broke them.

“Ahh!” I landed on the soil with my butt first while holding my legs. I bit my lips as I was enduring all the pain. The bone in that area was broken. I could not stand up.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Any last words, Zarya? Your name is beautiful. It suits with your pretty face.” She walked to the other woman and grabbed the knife.

I massaged my legs in a rotary motion. The tears at the corner of my eyes formed as I gritted my teeth. The waves of pain spread around my system. I had a broken bone and this might the reason for my death.

No! Stand up, Zarya!

The tears rolled to my cheek, but I was not crying. It was because of the pain that I was dealing with. I remembered the scorpion of Khal. It only had one part to kill and that was the part of a stinging. I could use that strategy to win.

I was not yet prepared for the next attack when the Skull hurried towards me. I shut my eyes as I felt the rusty knife buried into my belly. The blood dipped from that portion. The pain was unbearable.

“Goodbye, Zarya.” She let out the knife from my meat and hit me again and again. My mouth barely opened with the shock and ache that was gradually killing me.

My body landed on the soil. I could see the light that almost consuming me. Skull was about to stomp on my chest when I barely saw Matilda, changed into her wolf form, and ate the big woman. She fought for me. She fought all the remaining women while I was breathing in and out, gasping for too much air because my lungs were slowly lacking air. My chest was moving up and down. My hand was holding the wounds on my belly.

The faces of my family were spinning into my head. The night they got killed. I was finding the justice that was why I kept on trying and trying even though I was all alone in this world. I kept on standing because I believed one of these days. I could kill the pack who murdered them. I should never die without avenging them. My name should not be buried on the soil without the title of a Great Beta like my father.

I slowly stood. I forced everything that I could to stand. The blood on my belly was dropping, flooding into my lower body.

“I am Zarya… The Daughter of the Freat Beta!” I ran as fast as I could. In an instant, the rusty knife was on my hand. I buried it to Skull over and over again. The weakening was consuming me, but I kept on stabbing her. I raised my hand. Everything went slow when I stabbed her in the throat. I landed on the floor after that, gathering all the air I could get.

“Matilda… I mustn’t… die.” I breathe in and out, being brave in spite of lacking air. I got plenty of stabs with my broken bone on the right leg.

I need to survive. I should live. I should…

The dark was consuming my vision little by little until I had no longer images to see. My heart stopped beating.

The last thing I remembered was one hand held mine.
