Kaster

Humans are so unpredictable. They work their ass off for a living but still are not satisfied. I’ve heard the news of a son killing his father for money and land. What pity life humans are living. These things make me less envious of them. So far, I’ve never seen someone innocent yet brave. At the grocery store when the girl was in the arms of the thief, the look on her face seemed too innocent but still, I had no intentions of helping her. As soon as I was about to say something, the girl burst out saying “She doesn’t care”. I mean these mortal beings have such a short life that it I’ll be inevitable if the thief really shot her. Was she playing a bluff, trying to fool the thief? I don’t know, whatever it was, it was kinda brave.

I kept looking at the girl. Her face was small but said a lot of things. Her eyes were green, and it was like they are calling me to them like the stars. Her face was clear without any makeup or ornaments but still, she was looking so refreshing and more precisely cute. I tried a lot but can’t help keeping my eyes off her. Why didn’t I say this earlier when I gave her money for the beer? I guess that time I was focusing on thieves and getting away from here. But now, I’m trapped.

Theif- “It’s no joke lady, I’ll shoot you for real. Don’t make me do this” I was sure he is never going to shoot.

Killing someone is a faraway thing but shooting someone is a near call, still, it can scare the bejeezus out of someone. It requires guts to pull the trigger which is a rare thing to be found in a local thief.

Thief- “Hey you, are you giving me that or not” he still has his eyes on my bracelet.

Counter girl- “You can take whatever you want from the store, just let him leave.” Why is she saying all of this when a gun is pointed at her? A slight accident can take her life and would cost the thief nothing. And the most surprising thing is why is she trying to protect me?

Thief- “You guys have wasted enough of my time. Looks like I’ve to do it the other way.” He tried to scare the girl by shooting at the floor but as I said earlier a slight accident can be really bad. And that’s what happened. He accidentally shot the girl near the foot, and she screamed out in pain.

I was not able to move my attention away from her as if I’m lost in her eyes, but the scream of pain made me cut through the loophole. At that time, I saw 2 things.

Blood

Scream

These things were more than enough to call out the beast inside me which I’m most afraid of but this time It didn’t work. I was full of rage and felt something was about to change in myself but somehow, I was able to suppress him inside me and my anger took control of the rest.

I usually don’t give a fuck about these things but this time I don’t know why but I was something else. I punched the guy so hard in the face that his nose literally went inside his face. He didn’t see that coming. As soon as I punched the guy, he fainted. I was not sure how that sudden action happened, but I had no time to think about it. The girl was still crying out loud in pain.

I lift the girl in my arms and rushed straight towards my car. I wish I had parked my car near the entrance. I made her sit inside and rushed straight towards the hospital. The nearest hospital was like 3 miles away and all I can hear while pushing the accelerator so hard was only the screams of that girl. In my whole life, I have never helped anyone. Once there was an old man who was getting robbed in front of me and the thief surpassed me but still, I didn’t stop him. I don’t care what people think, I just only believe that pain makes you stronger and makes you see through reality clearly. But God knows what happened to that stubborn Kaster today that he’s helping a girl. Life is so unpredictable; you never know which phase of events will change your life. I had seen a lot of twists and turns since childhood. I never thought life is meant for me. I have tried killing myself like a million times. Yes, I have attempted suicide. That’s the reason I know that a gun can’t kill me. Neither can gravity, I once jumped from a cliff so high and ended up falling in a river without a scratch, just dust, and my ruined suit. I always tried to find reasons for me to live and methods for me to die. But as of my observation, I’m poor at both. But today, why do I think that if the last thing I want to do before I die is to help this girl.

Finally, the hospital is here and somehow the screams of the girl are no more there. Is she dead? Nah, it was just a bullet in the foot, she cannot die from that. She better not die from that. She must be fainted from bearing all that pain. I have to stop thinking too much and should find the emergency gate.

The emergency was on the left side of the hospital, so I pulled my car in it and blew away the gate with my bumper to reach the inside as soon as possible. I guess my baby will be at the workshop at ‘KC MODS’ for the next couple of days.

Receptionist- “Heyyy…What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“Call the doctor, It’s an emergency”
