Innocents Ch. 5

Notes: It's really expensive to bail somebody out here, because nobody wants an ex-murderer or something like that on the loose in Bentalia. It's a large town, and not much people go out or come in.

Begin:

Natalia's brother bailed her out that day, leaving Chun and Feli to be in their small 'pack'. Chun knew serious karate, and Feliciana knew how to punch the living daylights out of someone, (Aka: The punching bag) but was it enough?

At recess after breakfast, the two girls went into the weight room and murdered the punching bag again and again. Ludwig was still mean, Arthur and Amelia still helped, what has changed was that Natalia left. She visited time to time. Weeks past, and Feliciana and Chun started getting better at destroying things. Despite that Feli has gotten stronger, Ludwig still didn't like her. He'd trip her, or call her mean names (still thinking that she was a boy, mind you).

Markus had backed off because Feliciana could protect 'himself', and 'he' had friends to help 'him' out (he's still a guy to all the prisoners except Chun). Oddly, Natalia's older brother, Ivan, liked to visit Chun and Feli to thank them for befriending his lonely sister. He knew that they were both girls, and he promised to keep it a secret. His visit today was different.

"I would like to free one of you. I don't have the enough amount of money for both of you...but one of you deserve to be free. Help me pick, da?" He asked out of the blue.

"Ve, I think Chun should go, ve. I have friends here to keep me safe enough, and Chun is more of a loner." Feliciana didn't hesitate. The sooner her friends were out of here, the better.

"Aiya! You must be joking, aru! You've seen me kick those boxing bags!"

"Ve, but I don't like the idea of you in prison without me...I'm close to the guards, the nurse, and my grandfather has his own Mafia gang. Please, Chun..." Feliciana pleaded with Chun Yan, who's eyes began to water a bit.

"Aiya, I've grown close to you. If I don't go, it would hurt you, and if I go, promise me one thing, aru."

"S-si?" Feliciana looked at her friend who embraced her in a hug.

"If they bother you in anyway, Feli, don't be angry, aru... just keep calm and kick their mother -(this part is where the prison bell rings) asses, aru."

"V-ve." Feliciana couldn't help but smile a little. "As long as you visit, ve."

"I promise, aru."

Ivan looked at the Chinese girl in awe.

With that, Ivan bailed Chun out, and the two walked out into the...sunset? Or whatever. At lunch, the table where the girls sat was now crowded, and there seemed to be hardly a place to sit. She spotted Ludwig eating alone. Why do most prisoners avoid him? She, being daring, walked slowly over towards the German's table.

"May I sit here, ve?" To say that she wasn't afraid would be a lie. He was huge, intimidating, and mean.

He glared at her.

"V-ve, they took our old table, and I don't know where else to sit."

His glare was still fixed on her.

"P-please?"

"I glare at you, you verdammt hund, und yet you stay? I. Eat. Alone."

"There's. Nowhere. Else. To. Sit." Now she was feeling a bit annoyed.

"Nein, there isn't. I hope you like ze floor." He jeered at her. So childish!

"You act very childish, ve."

"Und? I like my space."

"Ludwig." She said his name. The German crossed his arms. "Nein."

"Ludwig..."

"Nein!"

"Luuuuddwig!"

"Verdammt! Fine! You can sit at ze end of ze table, Dummer Esel! I vant no talking, und if you mutter one word, you're eating on ze floor!"

She would say "Thanks", but decided against it (He's such a softy!).

…... RECESS

She left the table first, and went outside. On most days, the prisoner's were distant from her. She wouldn't blame them, they'd get their asses kicked if they even think about hurting her. However, when suddenly out of the blue, these guys surrounded her...

"Hey, look, it's the punching bag guy!" A bruiser looked at her in such a disgusting way. She tried to back up, but somebody was behind her.

"Uh uh, boy. We're going to get our worth out of you. It's not like anybody cares about you, now. Your friends are gone, and so is your German bodyguard."

Bodyguard? He wasn't her bodyguard!

"Ve...you have to fight me in order to get what you want!" She got into a fighting stance. A several of 'oohs' followed as many of the prisoners stepped back to give the two fighting room.

"Very well. If I win, you have to come with me and Markus. If you win, we'll leave you alone for good." The man sneered.

"One against one, no rules. Go." The guy ran towards her. Now, there a thing between a large guy trying to hurt a smaller 'guy'. She was fast and deadly, but if he caught her...

He tired to punch her left arm, but she used her right arm and punched his elbow upwards.

"You little shit!" He was hurt and pissed. He lunged at her, and she easily side-stepped him and kicked his back. A bunch of "oohs" came from the other prisoner's as they heard a popping (or is it cracking?) sound. The man got up again, and turned to face the 'boy'.

"You little punk, I'm going to kill you." He then roared and lunged at her again! Really?

She stood still as he came nearer. She knew what she was doing, this man was a worse fighter than a bruiser in a bar. As he got nearer, she side-stepped again, only this time, her fist was now in his stomach. No, she didn't punch through his stomach, she just punched his stomach. The man held himself, falling on his knees.

"You...ass..." He muttered as some of his friends took him to see the nurse. She stood still, triumphant until she felt a blade to her back.

"That was Markus' men, boy. Now you're going to deal with us." She heard a raspy voice. Where were the guards?

…...

Ludwig had wondered. Where does Amelia take Feliciano? He never seen him in the shower room, nor in the bathroom. Like he didn't care, that stupid bastard probably had some sort of disease. The 've' disease. He was in the weight room, and he didn't see Feliciano, like he usually did. Why was he so concerned? The Italian never meant anything to him. Why was he so damn worried?!

Ludwig sighed as he began lifting weights. Then he heard shouting.

"He's bleeding! GET THE EXTREME MEDICAL KIT!" Somebody (Arthur?) shouted in worry.

Extreme? What the hell was going on?

…...

"Now, we can play this the easy way, or the hard way?" The knife to her back then met to the back of her neck. Feli's breath quickened.

She didn't say anything as the man's 'pack', about eight people, were around the two in a large circle, grinning, daring the Italian to refuse. She wasn't going down without a fight.

In one quick motion, she swerved in front of the man, and kicked his knife out of his hands.

"WHA-" He didn't even finish his sentence as he felt a kick in the jaw. His friends were looking at the Italian as if 'he' were crazy. No, she was pissed, she wasn't going to give up her purity for shit bags like these men (even though she's still innocent, she knew what they wanted wasn't innocent)!

"Okay, boy. You asked for it. Get. Him." Feliciana looked at the men edging nearer.

She got in a fighting stance. The prisoners rushed towards her. She didn't know who she was kicking or punching, all she felt was a fire inside, unwilling to die. She didn't hear the cracks of their bones, or whatever else. She felt pain, but ignored it as she fought like a cat in a hell fire. She heard groans, screams, a little blood splattered on her clothes, and she felt her limbs connecting with jaws, legs, arms, and whatever else.

Suddenly, it stopped. She looked around, only to find that all eight or whatever number of men were retreating with their wounded. She winced at the damage she'd cause. Bloody noses, broken arms, but they could walk and were alive...well, kind of alive. Where were the guards? Why weren't they here outside to keep watch? She took a step, and that was a mistake.

Suddenly, she felt searing pain. Looking down, she understood. There was a knife in her stomach. She felt sick, looking at all the blood rushing out. How the hell did anybody get close to her? Before she knew it, she saw a familiar shape running towards her.

I kicked their, asses, ve.

Her world, strangely, didn't go black as she laid there, breathing.

Her head felt dizzy, though.
