Catherine rode to an unknown destination. She had never co to this place, so she had no idea where she was heading.
The horse was guiding her. She could only have faith in that animal.
The place she was in didn't have fancy buildings. They looked untidy and dirty slums. There wasn't enough light around here. She could only have the torch in her hand as the source of light.
She saw people around the corners, sitting alone, drinking alcohol, or taking drugs. They raised their heads to look at her whenever she crossed them.
She was terrified but kept her head high. Her eyes were forward. She could only pray for her safe return.
However, the mont she was out of the slum, she crossed paths with the remaining thugs.
The thugs were all drunk. They were talking to themselves rather loudly.
"Do you think the leader is having fun with that woman?"
"I think so. He said he wanted to have her first before letting us enjoy her later."
"She is a golden beauty, isn't she? I can't imagine how fun it will be when she cries under ."
"Let's do it together. It will be more fun with four people than two people."
They laughed at their indecent jokes.
Catherine couldn't help but shiver as she imagined what would happen to her if she didn't wake up in ti. If she was a bit late, she would be dood.
The thugs heard a horse galloping. They raised their heads in curiosity. When they recognized the rider, their eyes grew big.
They must have been thinking that they were hallucinating because of the alcohol.
But when she went past them, one of them shouted, "Hey, isn't she that bitch? Why is she leaving? Get her!"
"Go! Hurry!" Catherine urged the horse to go faster.
As though it could understand her urgency, the horse ran faster. It created distance between Catherine and the thugs.
Although she could barely see those thugs, Catherine felt like crying.
'Why is no one here to help ? Where is that idiot Sebastian? Other tis, he would stay there to keep safe. And today of all day, he wasn't here with . If I die, I'll haunt him until his death. I won't give him a mont of peace. Stupid! Stupid Sebastian!'
She cursed Sebastian as fear crept into her heart. She heard so commotion behind.
She turned her head behind only to see the thugs were coming after her, along with their leader.
Sohow, they managed four horses in a short amount of ti.
Catherine's blood was cold. She hurried the horse. Tears stread down her cheek. She wiped them and prayed to the Goddess.
'Goddess, please save . If I get away from them safely, I'll donate half of the money I earned in the last two months to the sickly poor. Please, Goddess. You are my only ho.'
Her prayer didn't seem to work well. Maybe Goddess Juvena didn't want to save her or thought she wasn't worthy enough to be saved.
The thugs caught on her quickly. One of them used his dagger and threw it at the horse. Since he was drunk and the horse was moving too fast, the dagger pierced Catherine's back.
"Ahh!" Catherine shouted as she felt an unimaginable pain. The sharp blade cut through her skin and at and went inside. It was burning pain. Her body swayed.
She heard the thug curse from behind. She could understand why he was annoyed. They wanted to rape her before killing her. But now, they wouldn't get the chance to play with her since she would be dying first.
The attack was so sudden that she wasn't ready for it. As a result, her hands loosened the grip on the horse's rein.
At the sa mont, a street boy around seven years old was running on the road.
He didn't notice Catherine and the four thugs. He stood in the middle of the road and finally noticed them, but it was too late.
He was horrified and stood still in the middle of the road. Fear didn't let him think of anything.
People around them scread and lanted, but no one ca to take him away.
It took Catherine three seconds to make a decision. She pulled the reins of the horse.
Since the horse was running at a speed, the sudden appearance of the human child and its rider's action made the horse jump in fright.
Catherine's body jerked backward. As she couldn't keep her balance, she fell to the ground.
From a high place, with a dagger on her back, her body crushed on the cold, stony ground.
The sharp blade jerked and cut through her skin even more. She montarily beca blind as the pain was unspeakable.
Unless one felt the pain she went through, they could never understand her situation.
Her vision almost blacked out. She couldn't speak or move. Her whole body was screaming in pain.
The horse she was in was gone. With blurry vision, she could only see the horse was going far away. The child also ran away.
The horses behind her stopped near her. The thugs dismounted from the horse and ca to get her.
As for Catherine, she had no strength left to fight. She was losing blood.
She was gravely injured and was in pain. She couldn't utter a single sound, let alone move. Her eyes were hardly focused.
The thug leader grabbed her hair and yanked her face. "You whore, you gave us lots of trouble. You were kept in that warehouse. You should have been there for to fuck. Now, look at what you have done. I wanted to give you a painless death, but it doesn't look like I can. Since I can't fuck you, I'd rather have the fun to kill you slowly. Beg , bitch!"
He raised his hand and slapped her cheek. With one slap, her left cheek was red and bleeding. There was no end to her suffering.
The thug leader grinned and wanted to slap her once again, but suddenly found out that his palm and fingers were gone.
