Remembering the paranormal event, Arka looked straight at the three people and then directly at the girl behind them. The three of them smirked at Arka, and within the blink of an eye, the older guy rushed towards Arka, while the younger guy got a knife out of his pocket. The alleyway was lit by only yellow night lights and the moon. Within that fraction of a second, Arka thought about everything that he had let go, Everything that he sacrificed, everything that he wanted to do differently, and decided to follow his heart for once in his lifetime. His hands clenched into fists, and his eyes widened in anger. He gritted his teeth as his mouth formed an angered smile.
This is the kind of adrenaline he was meant for, this is the kind of life he wanted, trying to save someone, trying to uphold justice, this is the thing that he desired; he never wanted to work nine to five in a sales office, even if it was a government job.
When he was little, he went to get karate classes, but his master taught him that his Power, these techniques, are all for protecting someone and not to be used rashly, not to be used to harm others for no reason.
So he was thrilled that he finally got his wish and is ready to use his skills for good.
"But it is said that being ignorant can give you a chance to live, being righteous is good, but if you are weak, then even if you are virtuous, it doesn't mean anything, you just forget the things that are important to you, the things that gave you the strength to fight on and You do something idiotic which will change everything, for you, for the people you love, for who are with you now or for those who are yet to be born. You abandon all of them just to do the right thing. And that's exactly what's going to happen.... I wish I hadn't let go of him that day."
Arka by no means was weak. He joined a gym along with his wife when she insisted that he needed to get his muscles straight.
The older guy, without giving him a chance, grabbed both his hands and slammed him with a headbutt, launching Arka's head backwards and making him dizzy, then, without giving him any chance to bounce back, he struck Arka's stomach with his knee making that poor fellow fall to the ground with his hands in his stomach, that followed with a kick to the face, knocking one of his teeth out.
"Such an anti-climactic outcome was to be expected since he is neither a fighter nor he is a trained police officer or soldier, he is just a normal guy who sits in his chair for eight hours a day and comes back home to his wife, who is currently Pregnant with a nine month old child in her, the delivery date is nearing and he is out here playing super hero, such a selfish person....."
Arka was lying on the ground with blood coming out of his mouth. He looked at the older guy with half-closed eyes and said, " Stop this immediately... if the police find out, then you will be in big trouble."
"Oh yeah? Well sad for you, but the police can be bought, they are nothing if you have right connections and sad for you we do have them."
"....that is not true....."
"But it is. The thing that Arka wanted to become with all his heart was a policeman. But police, politicians, and all higher powers are corrupt to their core, they don't care about righteousness, they only want Money, and nothing else. That's the plain and simple Truth...."
As he lay on the ground, the pain from his mouth rushed, and he gave out a groan while squirming on the ground. As all this was going on, the young guy rushed at him with his knife and stabbed him in his shoulder multiple times without rest, blood spilled on his shirt, turning his white office shirt into a blood red one after continuously stabbing his shoulder. The man sat atop Arka and huffed while the older guy behind him shouted.
"You moron with a stab like that he will not die go for his heart..."
"But if I miss? Then, what?....."
"Just do what you want then..." shouted the man.
With that command, the younger guy just lashed out and penetrated Arka's head, but he struggled to draw it out.
As he did, Blood splattered like a small fountain, and then the dude backed off, shaking.
"Congratulations on your first Kill, you wimp....hahahaha.."
Arka lay on the ground, his eyes fixed on the girl. He saw her face, she was looking at him with teary eyes, the three resumed their act, without a care. The girl raised her hands and tried to reach out to him, but was followed by her shirt getting torn by the woman and her breasts being squeezed...
That was the Last thing Arka saw. After that, everything went Black...
"It was my fault.... looking back, I should have stopped him from going....the thing that happened after is more sick than anything else, it is more infuriating than anything that I have ever seen.....I love you, Arka.....please come back..."
