Fake Princess
CCCXXII Chapter
I swam near the shore, I stopped the movement of my two feet that paddled the water earlier. My feet stepped, splitting the sea water slowly until my two feet stepped on the sand of the beach mixed with gravel.
My eyes glanced at the half-marine woman walking before as my legs approached the boulder, where she buried her skin.
I crouched down with both hands moving to dismantle the stretch of sand that was near the big rock. Kuraih and I grasped tightly the skin left by the woman earlier...
It feels, I really want to directly tear this skin to nothing.
My body stood up again, I put my head back to the big rock where we had been hiding before. I turned back and stepped towards one of the stones there...
I climbed up the not-so-high rock and sat on it. My head looked up with both hands moving open the folds on the sea dog's skin.
The afternoon, the falling sunlight was not as hot as before. I don't know how long I've been sitting on this rock... Waiting for the girl to return.
I glanced, a shadow emerging from behind the trees. The woman came back, different from before... He was dressed like a human being.
The woman stepped closer to the boulder, where she hid her skin. He immediately sat on his knees as he looked at the sand, where he buried his skin it had fallen apart.
The woman directed her hands to dig out the sand near the stone. I, myself, still watched him from a distance... To this day, the woman is still unaware of my existence.
"Are you looking for this?!" I shouted out by lifting the skin I took before.
The woman stopped her hand, which had moved to dig out the sand earlier. His head turned towards me, I looked back at him with one of my hands putting his skin over my thigh.
Next to my other hand, grabbed the small knife that was behind the shoe. I lifted and put the knife to touch the skin of hers that I still hold tightly while my eyes were still staring at the woman who was slightly glaring at me.
"What are you doing?!" His screams by moving both of his legs ran towards me.
"If you step closer, I'll tear this skin into tiny pieces" I said, looking at her with a slight increase in my eyes, she stopped her footsteps before she could get close.
"You... You're human, why human like you," he said, moving his legs forward a little.
"Don't waste my time. Over where? Where are you hiding the soul of the man you took last night?"
"Souls? Male soul? Aaahh, are you talking about the man on the ship?"
"Unfortunately, I didn't have time to eat away at his soul, but a naive man seemed to be very tasty when eaten."
"You? You're the girl I pulled her foot on, right? It's interesting, you can even speak our language, disgusting creatures" he said, shaking his waist at me.
"I told you, don't waste my time. Over where? Where did you hide that man's soul?" Is it in your stomach?" I asked, I gave my hand to put the skin I held earlier on the surface of the rock as I jumped down from the top of the rock I was sitting on earlier.
"W-what do you want to do?" He walked backwards as I stepped towards him.
"Make sure whether or not the mermaid's words are true" I clasped tightly onto the little knife in my hand.
"Mermaids?" He turned to look towards the ocean.
"You won't get his soul back. Free, everything you do is free," he said followed by a laughing voice that he let out.
"The mermaid said, if I have to cut open your stomach to regain my sister's soul," I said standing before her still sitting with her head looking up at me.
"I'll die if you do!"
"Then die" I said pulling her hair so hard that her head fell against my thigh.
Quickly, my hand that was pulling her hair had moved around clutching her chin. The woman raised her hand that was clutching sand into the air, my eyes narrowed with one of my hands that was holding a small knife moving closer to the woman's neck.
"Death," I said, thrusting my little knife into her neck, she looked at me with her eyes wide.
"How dare a disgusting creature like you touch my sister" I said again, I held my hand that was clutching her chin to the right, while my hand was holding a small knife that pierced her neck to the left.
A little blood splashed my left arm, I pulled my little knife back from the woman's neck as my body stood behind her. I looked, the woman who was still twitching, floundering like an animal that had just been slaughtered.
For a long time, I waited until the woman's body stopped moving completely. I stepped back to him as I put one of my feet back on the woman's body that had been lying on her face on the sand.
I walked on the red sand that had been mixed with the blood of the woman earlier. My body sat on its knees beside her body with both hands holding the collar of the clothes she was wearing.
The side of my hand that was holding a knife moved slowly cutting the clothes he was wearing in half. The woman lay on her back before me without a single cloth covering her body...
Back, I held my hand holding the little knife close to the woman's stomach. I stabbed the woman in the stomach using the small knife I held, I thrust the knife slowly through her stomach.
I put my little knife, which was full of blood, on the sand. I thrust my hands slightly into the wound I made on the woman's stomach, both my hands moved open the wound on her stomach until the gaping hole in her stomach got bigger and bigger.
My right hand moved inside her stomach, wet and moist... That's how my hands feel. My hand was unceasingly moving through the woman's entrails.
I held up my other hand to grab the small knife I had placed in the sand earlier. My hand that was holding the knife entered the woman's stomach.
I thrust my hand that was holding the knife into it and cut off what was inside, while the other side of my hand moved out by pulling something inside. I looked at my bloody wrist with a long object followed by something like small balls inside.
I raised my hand that was holding the knife from inside the woman's stomach. I dropped the knife in my hand as I put my hand out and held the thing I was holding with my other hand.
Something ball-shaped is small, about the size of my thumb... Falling from inside the bowel-like object earlier, as both my hands moved pushing the objects out...
I stood up, stepped up and squatted back to pick up the five balls that had fallen on the sand. My body stood up again, and then turned around to step closer to the sea. I crouched back on the shore, moving both my hands to wash the balls with sea water.
One by one, I picked up the balls. I'm looking closely... If you find an imperfect ball, it's your sister. Ebe's words kept ringing in my head.
I took one slightly cracked glass ball on one side and put the other four balls on the shore. I stood up again, stepping my legs apart the sea water which was getting more and more submerged my body.
"You need help?" The female voice again rang out, I turned to look at Ebe who had been swimming beside me.
"Go up on my back, I'll take you there. Our journey is still far away, and so is it... Thank you for avenging me," he said, turning his head to the back of my body.
