Cherreads

Chapter 12 - XII. Hatred

Creakk!!

"Oh?"

The wooden door suddenly opened with a loud creak, it grabbed everyone's attention and they all turned their heads to see who opened it.

A dark figure stood at the door entrance, its front body was in pitch black while his back shines because of the moonlight from the sky.

"It's time to eat." Said the figure, his deep male voice was way too familiar, everyone immediately knew who he was after hearing it.

The dark figure was Scythe, he brought them a small cauldron full of soup that had various ingredients on it, he also brought bowls in his other hands for everyone so that they won't fight for the food in the cauldron.

No body said anything while Scythe is placing down the cauldron with his right hand, all of the students were quiet.

Meanwhile, Calea tries to lift her body upwards after hearing Scythe, she can't keep laying down or else she won't be able to get her food before it was devoured by everybody else, her remaining strength was used to get her into a sitting position, she saw the soup cauldron infront of her which was already being surrounded by everyone and because Calea was still too far away from the cauldron, she crawled her way to it, little by little.

***

"Shit, i can't get used to this taste no matter how hard i try.." Said Deon, visibly disgusted by the taste of the soup he was eating.

After Scythe left the shack and leaves the cauldron to the students, everyone began to scoop out the soup with their bowls, they didn't receive a spoon or any eating utensil, so they have to slurp the soup from the bowl with their mouth.

And as anyone may have guessed, the soup tasted horrible, the simplest description of it would be like eating a raw vegetables with spoiled milk together, it was not a pleasant experience everytime they ate a food in this place.

'Mmh.. At this point, i think my sense of taste have disappeared..' Calea thought as she takes a sip from the soup and chew on the unknown vegetables in it. 'This is the only thing that replenished my energy, huh..'

Calea's appearance had changed ever since she arrived in this enslavement camp, her once beautiful eyes have turned into a hazy mess, with thick eye bags and wrinkles all over it, her once smooth skin have turned rough and there was many bruises in many different spots, her joyous spirit have dimmed and her hairs was all messy and dirty, when comparing her with her old self, current Calea was almost look like a completely different people.

But that's just what she had to go through in order to survive, there's no time to care for her body, for the sake of being alive, Calea was ready to do anything.

"Hey, there's an extra soup in the cauldron.." Said Carsel, he had already eaten his soup, but out of curiosity he checked the cauldron again and finds that there was still some soup left in it.

"Huh? Really?" Said Kalios.

"Oh yeah, i don't know why there's an extra soup, but my bowl was already full that time so i couldn't scoop it out anymore." Said Endi.

"Well, haha– Alright then i'll take another bowl, think of it as my reward for coming out first in today's training." Carsel said mockingly, he was about to scoop out another bowl of soup, when suddenly..

"Hah!? What the fuck are you talking about, that extra soup is mine." Vedra approached the Cauldron aswell with an empty bowl.

"Hm? What do you mean, i found it first, and im the leader here, so get out of my way, trash." Carsel replied, he was going to push Vedra from getting near the Cauldron.

"Fuck, don't get so cocky you piece of shit, who said you're the leader, that spot belongs to me you damn corrupt noble." Vedra insists and started to use some force to break free from Carsel's hand that is stopping him from getting near the cauldron.

"What did you just say? Don't act like you know my life, you shit hair." Carsel began to openly insult Vedra, especially with his brown hair.

"Fuck, this guy!—

THWACK!

Out of nowhere, a punch landed on Carsel's face, his head bounced back from the impact and it made his nose bleed.

"THIS SOUP IS MINE, GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE WAY!" Vedra shouted, his right hand stained with Vedra's blood from the punch.

THWACK!

Within just 3 seconds after Vedra punched Carsel in the face, a fist flew from Carsel and it hit Vedra right in his face aswell, resulting in his nose bleeding like Carsel.

The situation was getting pretty heated, both Carsel and Vedra has had enough with eachother, and they began fighting with their fists.

"TAKE THIS!" Vedra said as he tries to punch Carsel in the face again.

SWOOSH!

Unfortunately his punch was avoided by Carsel, after diving his head down, Carsel dashed forward and launched an uppercut to Vedra's chin.

SWOOSH!

Vedra manages to avoid it by mere inches, his face was serious, if that uppercut from earlier hits him, he would most definitely be knocked out.

The fight continues on, Vedra and Carsel landed a few hits on eachother, but that wasn't enough to knock one of them out, everyone watches the fight as if it was an entertainment, no one seems to have any intention of ever separating the two fighter, except Calea.

"H- huh?! G- guys! Please stop! s- stop fighting!" Calea said, her body isn't strong enough to stand up so she just waved her hands like some idiot to try to receive their attention.

"Shut up Karera, its getting to the best part now." Orbeth said angrily, his eyes were fixated on the fight.

"W- what?.. But aren't they your friends!? We need to stop them before—

"Karera, are you seriously this stupid and naive?" Seir said with a smile whilst looking at Calea.

"H- huh?.." Calea responded, in shock with what she just heard.

"Friends? There's no friendship here? We're all here as a rival, i don't care about anything that happened to anyone other than myself, if they die, then just die." Seir replied.

"B- but..."

"By the way Karera, you're placed last again in today's training huh? Seriously, you're so weak, its actually hilarious." Suddenly Orbeth interrupted. "For real, i know you're a girl and all, but you're seriously weak. What are you? A Mage? i don't think a normal person can be this weak after they've gone this kind of training daily."

"Oh? And you hear that?" Orbeth said.

"W- what?" Calea replied, scared with Orbeth and his face that is full of malice.

"The guards is silent and hasn't made a move yet, even though there's clearly a loud commotion here, that means— We can do anything we want in here, the only rules it says is to not go outside right?" Orbeth's smile started to become wider and wider.

Along with that, the others who were previously watching the fight between Carsel and Vedra now also began to look at Calea.

"Now that you said it, there's no rule that says you need to be civil and silent at night.." Deon said, his eyes looked upwards and an evil thought crosses his mind.

"H- hey.. W- what are you guys thinking— AAHHH!!" Calea screamed, Orbeth suddenly pinned her body down and locked her hands.

"Y- YOU!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!! STOP!!"

Orbeth was locking Calea in place, his strength was obviously way more superior than her, and Calea couldn't do anything to it, he ripped Calea's cloth and exposes her bare skin, it was a disgraceful sight and Calea was frantically begging Orbeth to stop. she shakes her legs in hope of kicking him, but it was useless.

"I held myself from doing this because i was scared the guards would come in and beat us, but now i see.. That was not true at all." He said, his eyes was far too focused, his sense of reason had disappeared at that moment, and all he could think of is just how to enjoy Calea's body to the fullest.

"H- Hey.. Orbeth, you—" Hughen said, not knowing what to say. "Fuck! I don't care anymore! This place is insane.. And i have to be insane aswell to survive, haha.. HAHAHAA!! FUCK, THIS IS EXCITING.. Orbeth, give me some space too!"

"I hate to say this.. but you're right Hughen, this place is insane.. Its crazy, and.. And— I can't stop smiling!.." Deon said with a maniacal smile. "I might aswell enjoy it while it last.."

While Carsel and Vedra was fighting, the rest of the students went for Calea, right at that moment, they began ravaging her, violating her and abused her until all of them was satisfied.

"AAGHHH!! STOPP!! STOP! DON'T TOUCH ME!! GET YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM ME!!" Calea screamed, she was crying, she was desperate to get away. "DON'T!! DON'T!!"

"Shut up, you'll enjoy it too later." Said Endi, he who was usually calm, now also can't hold his lust and desire.

"N- NOO!! GAAAAHHH!!"

"U- uhh.. I- Sorry!!" Said Zayn as he prayed and begged Calea to forgive him, he's the only one that didn't make a move on Calea, Zayn was watching from the corner of the shack as he was also scared with everyone, if he tries to help Calea, he feared that everyone would start to turn against him and beat him up.

'I'LL KILL YOU!! I'LL KILL ALL OF YOU!! I'LL KILL YOU!!!'

"G- GUARDS!! HE- HELP— MMFFGHH!?!?"

Calea's mind started to break, her heart was filled with rage, she swore to kill all of them, to kill everyone in this place, even while her body is breaking down.

CRASH!

Calea's subconsciousness shattered, and the birth of a new ego happened, her eyes rolled up, her emotion dissolved, a brand new light of fire appeared in Calea's heart, it was a fire full of hatred and bloodlust.

'What's happening?..' Calea thought, she was inside her subconsciousness world, a black void that seems to have no end. 'What did i do to deserve this?..'

'Ahh... I see, this world is just like that, this shitty world– This fucking crazy place..'

'If insanity is what you want.. Then so be it, i'll be insane for you.. I'll surpass your insanity and throw away everything! If Violence is the only answer i can take– Then i will gladly take all of it!"

In her subconsciousness world, Calea saw a light from above, that light came from an object floating down to meet her, and that object was.. A Scythe.
