The Search for Freedom

Kaila

The whole place was dark and the moon was the only source of light, because there was no electricity in this place. I didn't know if where we would go next, but I was sure that the time there was different from the time here. It felt different to be strolling in the world by using teleportation, because it seemed that my world was spinning around and making me dizzy.

Eventually, after a few moments of waiting, Alicia went out from the house of the voice woman. She looked like the same and her hair was not spreading around her shoulder anymore. She learned to tied it because I told her that she looked like old Alicia if her hairs was spreading. She was not just old Alicia, but an ugly hag.

I was the definition of a tireless girl. Until then, I had not gotten any information that told the truth about myself. It sounded weird, but I was a girl who did not know myself. I didn't know what kind of girl I was or why I had some kind of power that normal humans didn't had. Maybe I would just live my life in this world without knowing the whole truth about me and my family.

After Alice offered the spirit of the voice woman to her master, it was time to go to the eleventh person. Maybe that person was a little bit strong and powerful, so I would be fighting and not just killing that person like an ant.

Alicia and I went to the place where the next person lives. The place where there were no more people but animals was not a zoo, but there were many animals in that place. Those animals were so many that their quantity measured a battalion.

"Alice, there are no people here. Don't tell me that the eleventh person that I needed to kill was not a person, but an animal," I said.

"No-she is not an animal, but her power source is related to animals. It may be difficult for you to kill her, because she has the power of these cats. Maybe we can call her the cat woman. She is definitely difficult to kill because she has nine lives," Alice replied.

"What the hell, Alice? Do you believe that cats have nine lives? What kind of demon are you? Whatever power she has, I believed that everything has only one life and they would die after I killed them. That is impossible," I said. "How can you perform magic if you believe it's impossible?" Alice asked.

I thought that Alicia was right, because I was not there if I didn't believe in the impossible things that were happening in this world. There was no use in believing in science anymore, because I was in the world of magic. There was nothing else I could do but believe in the powers that my enemies have, so that my life wouldn't be endangered.

"So where is that cat woman that you are talking about?" I asked.

"She is living in that solitary house that is standing there." Alicia pointed an index finger at the lonely house that was standing ahead.

"Do you think I will need your help in killing that woman?" I asked.

"I don't know, it defends your capability. Just tell me if you need my help in killing her, because I am always ready to help you. What do you think? Do you believe that she is so powerful?"

"I don't believe that she is powerful. I am just asking you if you will help me kill that woman. What do you think? Do I have the capability to kill her?" I asked.

"Of course you have; therefore, you better not waste time. Go to that house and do what you need to do now. I will just search for the twelfth person," Alice replied.

I wouldn't even admit it, but I was a little bit uncomfortable in this place, because it seemed to be a place of death. Well, being scared was just in my mind, so I'd better not think about those things that would scare me. Consequently, I bravely went towards the house of the cat woman, though my heart throbbed wildly and seemed to jump out of my rib cage.

There were no other sounds that could be heard in that place but the meows of cats that were strolling around. I slowly entered the house of the cat woman, but the door cried out when I opened it. I was surprised when there was a woman that jumped on me.

She seemed to be a cat when she scratched my face. It was so painful because her nails were so long and sharp. It made some wounds on my face, and the blood streamed onto my face. I was surprised because she attacked me and I had not prepared.

The fight would not be over just as easily as that. I was clever to use all my strength to kick the cat woman, which was the reason she was thrown away from me. She bounced against the columns of her house. Meanwhile, she stood up again and prepared to attack me.

For the second time, the cat woman tried to jump on me and wanted to scratch my face like an ugly cat. I had the power to be swift, and I used that power to avoid her ardour attacks. I swiftly kicked several times, until she bounced against the columns of her house. She seemed to be a cat that was difficult to kill.

The cat woman actually looked like a cat. She had a high nose, black eyes, and white skin. Her hair was long, black, and tied. She also had a long black tail. She was tall and also strong, as she was so hard she couldn't be dropped, no matter how much kicked she got.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

If she thought that she was already so great that nobody could defeat her, she would be disappointed, because a girl named Kaila was the one who would end her life. I wasn't just an ordinary girl, and I could live even if I had to wait a very long time without doing anything. So I used it to defeat the enemy. I kicked her with all my force, and she could not fight back because I was so quick.

Eventually, after hundreds of kicks and punches that the cat woman received from me, she finally became flabby. Who would not be tired if they bounced against the cols for so many times? Maybe that could be me, because I was thicker than the cat woman.

The last kick she got from me ended her ninth life. Alicia was correct in assuming that the cat woman has nine lives because she was so cold-hearted and could not have died if she still had some lives. Meanwhile, after I killed the cat woman, Alicia also appeared.
