You always have to fight your demons!

That's what I heard when I was nine years old I had no idea what the demons were, but the teacher told me that you always have to fight your demons you can't expect someone to stand up for yourself.

What I didn't know was these demons consume souls and they were consuming mine since accordingly. That was the time when I was bullied for the first time and the demons started coming into my dreams since then I have fighting with them on my own.

We are sitting here with bruises and a cut on his lower lip, it was bleeding, he had a brown circle near to his right eye, while I had bruises over my cheeks and arms.

But at that moment I wasn't afraid, I was calm as I was an ocean; inhaling everything to the depths. I was believing as I was a sky with no beginning and no end.

He glanced at me, his stormy eyes were confused to see the warrior in my eyes but then he whispered silently, "you are brilliant Julia,"

And I felt it, every inch of it, the words that were dripping from his mouth were not just words they were the entire galaxy in them and I could sense myself getting lost in it.

Two hours earlier

"Where are we going?" I argued the first time since he was silent from all along.

This silence is killing me, killing me from the shore and I can't help but notice the world around us, which is changing shamelessly; as everything will facade soon! People will forget everything and they will accept the change.

The greenery, if I could say, was flowing at first and devastated at next now how did I feel it was confounded because I could see the shattering aura around them and I could perceive the trees were not wavering too.

Something is extraordinary, The sky had turned black too as it was going to explode, explode in the human emotions which it can't understand but I can understand, I can sense every fucking thing! Every emotion of this earth might hurt me.

I know this was a very bad idea.

"What's wrong?" He glimpsed at me when he noticed a sudden change in my aura.

I wanted to say everything is wrong.
But didn't!

"Nothing," I looked away.

"So let's go to eat something to the nearby the beach,"

Before I could say something, a gang came nearby us out of nowhere.

They were approaching us, approaching us soon, their footsteps were ravaging, and my head was burning as the history is going to recreate. The demons which were buried in the past rise once again

I need to stop fretting!

"Oh look who is here that bloody Neel Malhotra with this chick!"

They were the same guys from the racing!

"What do you guys want?" I could feel a shiver in his voice.

"You know what we want? We want revenge! And this girl!"

What the fuck!

No!

Not in a billion dreams, I am going to let the memories flood away! I am not going to live with these demons for my whole existence! They need to be punished! Punished for good because if I didn't I will just become a victim once again and I don't want to be a victim, not again!

"What girl are you talking about? Bloody pervert!"

Though my sound mostly came like a whisper still it was audible to me!

"Oh, this chick has some voice too! You girl just shut up and wait and watch what will I do with your boyfriend and to you!"

The devilish laughter erupted the whole existence of human life.

"Don't you dare to talk to her like that and it would be advised you to leave otherwise you would not like the consequences so just go with this stupid circus team of yours!"

These were Neel's words I could feel them on my skin.

"And what if I didn't?" Their leader was determined to not leave. He was shamelessly staring at my body which was disgusting to me.

"Then you shall pay the consequences!"

And with that, a war started between right and wrong.

He narrowly pushed me under the tree and jumped on the street to fight.

Let me clarify some things to him. I am a woman and I am not going to stand here just to picturise the whole thing! It's a high time one for all. let's fight with the demons. I am not going to stop today, enough is enough. I have been a victim for a very long and I cannot be not anymore!

I came forward held my head high, " hey you coward come fight with me!"

And with that, it begins!

Two of those came while chuckling at me as I am some plastic model!

"Oh look at this baby girl, don't fight with us you and what if you did? You are just a foolish girl, you can't defeat us so silently listen to us otherwise we will injure your boyfriend so badly that you cannot even imagine and don't even imagine what we will do with you so shut the fuck your pretty face!"

"You shut the fuck up bastard! And let me show you what this woman can do with your ribs and bones!"

With that, I jumped into the fight! Did I ever forget to mention that I know karate very well?

Oh, maybe I did then let me show these guys!

"Here take this you jerk!" I kicked hard on his main point.
Oh, the pain he will feel would be going to ghost him forever!

He yelped in pain, lost his balance and fell to the ground!

"The bitch! You just wait and watch how am I going to fuck you out!"

The fucking monster! now I am going to kill him.

"Well, we will see that!"

And when Neel was fighting with two guys, I jumped on the remaining two!
Punched them on their stomach, kicked heavily into their legs and was just about murder them when one of them punched me on my stomach.

The pain I felt as thousands of ribs of mine were opened and I could feel the tears in my eyes.

No! I cannot lose this!

I tried to punch them again but it didn't work, one caged me and tied my hands behind my back.

I jumped, shouted, did everything to come out, but nothing helped me and when I was just about to kick him another one came forward and looked into my eyes.

His eyes were very devilish, as he had been drinking a lot of liquor, I could see his eyes roaming over my body shamelessly, as I am just a body for him!

And then he tried to come closer! Closer to me! I could feel the dented smell from him, he touched my lower lip, that bastard touched my lower lip!  I will cut him out like a squirrel!

So when he tried to do it again I bite his thumb! I bite it so hard that he might need stitches to amend it.

"Bitch!" He screamed at me.

And slapped me hard on my face. All the fingers didn't just print on my face but my heart too!

I wanted to scream, wanted to kill him but no voice came! My thought went dry. My vision became blurry and I could see the demon in him.
I could feel all the demons coming back to me.

"How dare you touch her? Get your filthy hands away from her you fucking monster!"

I was in nausea, lost all of sudden and the deprivation of emotion was sucking my soul only I could remember what the teacher had said years ago, "one should fight with their demons!"

Somehow, Neel attacked the other guy my hands got free and I kicked that blonde guy who slapped me!

I kicked him hard until he started begging me to stop!
He was screaming in pain on the ground, but I didn't stop because he needs to hear some wise words from my mouth!

"Indeed I am a woman and you are nothing!"

****

All the stars were burning in the sky when we were silently watching them from afar.

"I didn't know that you are a fighter!"
His eyes were bored into me.

"Oh come on, you just don't know me well!"

Then we fall silently in the silent twilight only hearing the sound of the wind.
