Damsel in distress

it was friday i think... i dont really remember.. yeah it was friday... becos it was booze night... and i had a few too many that day... i was high as a bird !! it was around 1 in the morning and i was returning home when i saw her... i probably shudnt have stopped.... but she looked like a real mess... and i thought i shud help her... the booze clouding my judgement ... but anyways.. i did stop... and here wat happened bcos i did ...

i walked up to her to ask what was the problem... she was just standing there in the middle of nowhere late at night .. it was a dangerous place to be at... her clothes were all dirty and i noticed that there was a spot of red on the t-shirt too... "What is the matter ? What are you doing here so late at night ?" ... she didnt respond... may be she didnt want to talk to anyone... maybe she was just too scared... i asked again ... "What happened ? Can i help you ?" . "Shut up ! Just shut up ... dont try and get into what you dont understand.... You dont have the balls to even comprehend what the matter is .. let alone help me ....". Shit. That was out of the blue... try to help someone and you get this... But i didnt leave... any sane man wud have i know.. but after an entire bottle of antiquity .. i wasnt really very sane... "Please miss.. let me help you ... you look like u are in trouble..." . "Trouble !!? i am not the one in trouble... Its him you shud be helping really... if i have my way, he is going to be in a shitload of trouble....". "What ?? what are you talking about ? who is he ? what are planning to do ?"

She went quiet... maybe she had said too much. i was also too jolted to say anything. wat was this lady talking about ? wat was the horrible thing she was going to do if she had 'her way' ? she looked like a normal girl really... sharp features ... short crop of hair... tall... she was tall... and beautiful... god.. she was beautiful... maybe dats wat made me stop to help her... her face was radiant... and she looked confident... dats wat troubled me more.. something seemed amiss.. she wasnt the damsel in distress she shud have been... she looked like someone with a mission... focussed... and maybe wat she just said was the reason.. the mission... So i asked again. "What is the problem miss.. why are you here ? dont u have a home u need to go to ?".... and dats when i saw it... a tear rolling down her eyes... Home.... did something bad happen to her home ... probably someone robbed it... maybe it was destroyed or something ... " I had a home once... A happy home... Me , my kids and him. It was a gud place. A happy place... until that night... I am going to make him pay... i am going to kill him....". What ?? what was that women talking abt... was she out of her mind.... and wat was i still doing there... my concerns for her were now long gone and they were replaced by fear... fear for my own safety... i decided to leave... i didnt want anything to do with this... just as i started to go she thundered, " Where are you going ?! You cant leave now. If you leave then i wont be able to do wat i have planned... i will fail... and this time i dont want to fail... twice.. twice before i have tried to have my revenge... rightful revenge... but the bastard escaped... he had luck on his side... this time i wont fail... tonite is the end of him... his ghastly existence... He is a demon... a rotten hearted son of a bitch... killed his own daughter.... my daughter....". By now she was totally broken. "This time i have this .... and this time my hand wont hesitate to slice open his heart and watch it till it bleeds out the last drop of vicious poisonous blood in his body". The blade of the weapon was frighteningly sharp... and it was covered with blood... maybe it was used ?! used recently ?! shit... this was bad.. i needed to get out of there...

i tried to run.... just as i turned she caught hold of my throat.. brought the knife to my heart and shouted... "Where are you going bastard... dont you remember me ?! dont you remember your own wife.... Dont you remember our daughter screaming for her life as you stabbed her 13 times.... dont you remember coming up to me with this knife .... this very same knife and telling me that you were sorry.. that you had no choice but to kill us all lest anybody find out wat you had done... I tried to run away. I tried to run for my life... but i failed. The last stab near the heart was just too much... Instant death... ". And then suddenly i remembered... it was priya... shit... but she was dead wasnt she... i killed with my own hands... i killed her with that very knife....
