For You Little Girl's

CHAPTER 19 THE SHADOW SHIELD

I'm trying to remember – remember back. Gathering memory pieces during my time here at school. I had not found the answer yet, I heard a commotion not far from where I was standing.

It was very clear I saw, there were two people who were fighting with the girls who were in front of me. Two people have to fight ten people, not a balanced opponent. Each of the – enemies holds a knife in their hands.

The two men fought using only their bare hands. The gaze of my eyes was focused on the male – men wearing masks that covered half his face, precisely only part of his eyes. The hoddie attached to her body made it hard to recognize her.

Who are those two guys? Moreover, the male – male wearing the mask, who is he? The mask limited my body to recognizing a person through my eyes.

I can't see his eyes clearly. The mask was right – really disturbed the focus of my eyes.

I clucked in annoyance, for not being able to see the – man's eyes. Usually, by looking into someone's eyes I can recognize someone, even though I don't see his face as a whole. I tried many times, but still I could not see how his eyes were.

I also looked at someone who was with him. His friend was wearing a mask on his face with a hat on his head. With freedom, I can see how the eyes of the male friend – the man.

Those eyes, I've never seen them. That means I don't know him. But, why did they help me and how did they know about my whereabouts here?

Could they be the same as my school that is holding hiking activities? But all I know, today the only thing that does hiking is from my school.

Then who are they?

The fight is so fierce. The – mysterious people, nimbly playing the knife in their hands. Trying to hurt his opponent, but their opponent is very tough. Knife – their knives are still clean without any blood stains that contaminate.

Boy – masked man it's true – really deft. Agilely, he dodged every attack aimed at him. Many times – times, the knife was about to penetrate his body and hit his heart, but he managed to avoid.

They are both amazing. Without weapons, they managed to knock out one by one their opponents. When my focus was only on the two of them, especially the masked man –, without me noticing the woman who was the head of the mysterious group of people ran towards me.

He attacked me without me avoiding it.

The woman managed to injure my right arm which made me jump in shock.

“Astaugfirullah, akh”, I said in a big enough voice.

The masked man – turned his gaze towards me who was moaning to endure the pain that began to run my right hand. His jaw seemed to harden and gnash his teeth.

His eyes turned sharp and very dull. He also accelerated his movement to subvert his opponent – opponents. His focus began to be disturbed when he heard the fight between me and the woman.

“I will get rid of you who tried to hurt him”, said the – man while staring at his opponent's – with a killing aura.

I tried to compensate for the woman's attack while trying to endure the pain in my right arm. I could only use my left hand to repel and attack the woman.

The blood was flowing more and more in my right arm, as he again managed to injure my arm. Even though I was injured, I was still able to fight that woman. Attack her and occasionally throw a kick in the woman's stomach until she falls down.

His gaze stared at me. In a violent manner, he came back to attack me. Again – again, I fended off his attacks which made my defense weakened due to the injuries I received from the woman.

“Who are you, huh?”, I asked in my fight with him.

“Who am I not important for you to know. All you need to know is your death today”, he said, again successfully injuring my right arm for the third time.

I staggered and started to lose my balance.

He smiled behind the mask he was wearing. However, I could clearly see that sinister smile through the radiance of his eyes.

“Know or not, your death is my hope that no one will interfere with my plan”, he said as he walked forward towards me.

I kept walking backwards until I didn't realize I was at the edge of the abyss.

“Now, you can't dodge, Sara”, her words when saying my name make my heart beat.

He knows my nickname. It means he is someone who knows me very well.

In fact, calls that only family and closest people will call me by the name “Sara”. And he called me “Sara”?

What kind of face is hidden behind the mask. Do I know him too? Oh God, protect me.

I pray to the Creator, the owner of every human life. Expecting her help so that I can survive the woman who had malicious intentions towards me.

The situation I'm facing is unfair. I was at the edge of the abyss, with just one step I retreated, then I would instantly plunge free towards the bottom of the abyss that even the bottom of unknown where.

The woman, the more it moved closer towards me made me unable to wiggle. Stepping to escape alone, I couldn't do it. I closed my net when the pain in my arm broke down my defenses.

Oh my God, I really don't want to give up. However, this wound in the arm was very draining of my energy. I can no longer stand, even if I just stand up.

The pain started running all over my body. As a result of a knife cut that slashed my skin, I could no longer stand it.

The blood that kept flowing out from the layers of my skin, I was no longer able to bend and made my consciousness begin to disappear.

Have I fallen to the bottom of that abyss and disappeared from the face of this earth? If so, allow me to see my father's face.

Be with him, though not on this earth anymore. At least, I won't be alone, even though my mother's warm embrace and my brother's smile are no longer my own.

I closed my eyes for a long time until I felt someone's hand pull my hand until my body was pulled forward. I haven't had time to digest what happened, someone's screams made me reflectly look towards the edge of the abyss where I was standing earlier.

My body froze when I saw who had pulled my hand. Male – men who wear masks on his face, now in a state of bloody. The woman's knife stabbed him in the stomach.

“Tidaaaakkk!”, I shouted very loudly when I saw the male – the man started to lose his consciousness.

He looked at me with a smile that I knew very well. My heart ached and my defenses weakened. I cried and tried to run towards him to help him not to fall.

Not yet has this foot managed to get close to him, someone's hand has already restrained me first. And before long, the masked man – fell with his back facing the bottom of the abyss. Before he fell, he smiled at me.

“Tidaaaakkk, come back”, back I screamed by trying to take my hand off the masked male friend of –. Instead, his hand gripped my left hand quite firmly.

“Relax, if you go forward, then vain – sacrifice my best friend to be a shield for you. That woman will easily kill you with your condition is very severe this”, said the man – man with a tone so cold.
