The Knights - Chapter #5 - Free To Read

That noise really made an impact. I hurriedly went to my kitchen, but I immediately backed away when I saw this man who kept on pestering me. "What the hell are you doing here, Kaliber? I told you to stop following me around! What the hell do you want? I asked him.

I’m starting to become a noisy person because of this man "I'm not going to kill you, Eternity! You need to come with me!" he pleaded.

"I don’t know what’s running inside your mind, but I’m not coming with you," I told him before sitting down on the sofa. He sat down in front of me while his eyes were still begging.

“Eternity, just come with me! I'll take you to Empires High and you can live there. We’ll provide everything you need there, it's that easy.” I hit the table hard because of what he said. Do I look like I’m playing with him?

"I'm not a child! For goodness sake! I’m not a freaking fool to believe you!" I shouted angrily. He sighed before looking straight into my eyes.

"Eternity, just this time. Give me some time to explain it. Just come with me, please. The Vlads are planning to kill my boss and they’ll come for you also! So you need to come with me." This jerk is really giving me frustrations.What does he take me for?

He kept on calling me by my second name like we’re freaking close. I don’t even know his name!

And what kind of person will go with the person who’s claiming that he’s a mafia, and then he’ll offer you to go to a school I’m not even aware of?! What kind of person am I to his eyes?! I guess only stupid people will believe in this guy.

"What's your name?" I asked him with a frown. "Caliber, Caliber is my name." I nodded, Caliber’s a nice name but I don’t like him.

"Tell me honestly," I told him seriously. He immediately looked at me.

"What?"

"Are taking some drugs or--"

"Of course not! Why would I get myself involved in that shit? What do you take me for? A stupid person?”

"Yes! You're right! I consider you a stupid person!" I shouted back. I can’t believe that this is the effect of drugs on him.

He’s insane! "I don’t like the things that’s coming from your mouth. I could easily kill you in one snap!" he threatened me. I shrugged my shoulders.

"Go on, do it. You think I’ll let you?” I asked him with a smile.

"But I can't! Why don’t we just settle things as we go to Empires High? Right? Let’s fucking calm down,” he uttered in annoyance. This man is really getting on my nerves.

"Get the hell out of my house now," I told him.

"And why would I?" he asked with a smile as if I’m required to give him enough reason to leave my house.

"Because I said so,” I answered back. I pulled his clothes and threw him hard in front of my door but he just glared at me.

"But--"

"Stop saying things because I’m going insane! I might beat you to death, Caliber," I threatened him before pushing him out.

"If I can't force you, I'll definitely make a way," he said seriously. I mocked him before rolling my eyes.

"Get out," I said.

"Please, Eerrah—"

"Get out!" I shouted. He just sighed before walking out. Damn! I feel like I’m slowly losing my sanity because of that man.

I rinsed my body first before putting on a t-shirt and pajamas. I put on my jacket and rode my skateboard. It's late so there are no people outside. I kept on running the skateboard while avoiding things in my surroundings. When I got to 7/11, I immediately looked for soft drinks in a can. I also paid for it right away at the counter and decided to leave.

I was on my way home when I felt someone’s presence behind my back. Someone’s following me. I turned to the corner and hid first on the wall. I waited for 5 minutes but when I realized that there’s nothing strange at all, I came out.

"What the hell," I said as soon as I came out and a shadow of a man was already in front of me. What kind of animal is this? "Who the hell are you?" I asked, but he didn't answer, causing me to roll my eyes.

"Eerrah." What?! That’s me! Do we have the same name?

I just ignored it because maybe it’s Caliber again, trying to make fun of me. I had to stay away from him because he might drive me crazy with so much frustration. I tried to avoid him, but he immediately stopped me from passing by. A figure of a man stood right in front me. He’s between 40 plus I think?

"Who the hell are you?" I repeated my question just now.

"You're really beautiful just like what they said." I was shocked by what he said. Oh gosh, he’s a fan of mine? Small things.

"Probably, I'm hot and beautiful. So get out!" I gestured to him to get out of my sight but he immediately blocked my path so I stepped on the end of the board and bent my foot to escape him.

My eyes widened when I felt his cold hand on my arm, trying to pull me. I pulled my arm away and threw him on the floor. I groaned when he pulled my leg, but I immediately spun in the air and clung to my board once again, slapping his head on the board.

My whole body stopped when I felt the tip of his gun on my neck as if it would shoot me at any moment. I close my eyes tightly.

"Just come with me, don't try to leave so that you won't be in trouble anymore," he whispered in my ear. This man looks like he’s new at this job. He’s pointing a gun right in front of me and he’ll tell me that I won’t be in trouble?

“As if I care for you old man," I whispered to him. I will never let him underestimate me just because I am a woman. Men like him deserve to die.

"You have a lot of words to say huh? I'm even more excited to kill you woman!" Even before he fired his gun, I held it using both of my hands and quickly turned around. I bent down so that in case he fired the gun I would not be hit. I hit his testicles before kicking him hard in the face.

I bit my lower lip when he managed to stand up after my counter attack. He’s pissing me off.
