The stench of the man in front of her shattered her pride of a wealthy young lady.
“Get off me, you creep!" she spat, only fueling the man's excitement.
A sudden chill washed over her as her camisole was torn apart.
Terror filled her eyes as she saw the man's perverted glee mirrored back at her.
Then, the light in his eyes flickered and died.
A bullet tore through the man's skull, splattering blood everywhere.
Karol stared, stunned, and then erupted into a shaky laugh.
"Moron! How dare you touch me!" she shrieked, a mix of terror and relief.
Gratitude swelled within her for her savior. A silent vow formed: if it was a man, marriage; a woman, a lifetime of riches.
“What are you doing here?" A familiar voice sliced through the air.
Karol looked up to meet a pair of cold, determined eyes.
To her astonishment, it was Lilah who had saved her.
Why was Lilah here? Why had she come to her rescue?
Disbelief washed over Karol. Was this a nightmare?
“Get his clothes. Put them on. We have to go," Lilah barked.
Reality slammed into Karol. She obeyed, scrambling to follow Lilah's instructions.
More figures clad in black materialized, their movements Lethal. When Lilah's bullets dwindled, she snatched a submachine gun from a fallen assailant, dispensing justice with practiced ease.
In this lawless land, morality was a luxury. Only survival mattered.
Karol, who had never witnessed such violence, trembled like a leaf behind Lilah.
Yet, amidst the chaos, Lilah's calm focus and deadly aim sparked a strange admiration in Karol.
"Look out!" Lilah whirled around, blasting a black-clad figure lunging toward Karol.
"Here. Protect yourself," Lilah tossed the submachine gun to Karol, grabbing another from a fallen attacker.
The gun was heavy, almost pulling Karol to the ground. But adrenaline kicked in, and she mimicked Lilah's actions, firing back at their attackers.
They fought their way toward a less crowded area, the rhythmic thrum of gunfire a grim soundtrack. Police sirens wailed in the distance, a promise of imminent rescue.
