It was already impossible to prevent Jia from hitting Manu's head. I can only hope Manu doesn't die as soon as that happens.
The important thing is that I must not panic. Focus is key in a situation like this.
"Get up quickly and provoke that bastard Jia." I said to Kat, who was still asleep. "Then take your bow and fight him!"
With a bluff, there was a chance that Jia would stop hitting Manu, or at least just hit once. If Kat was prepared to aim first, it would take some time. Jia can hit at least two or three times.
After convincing myself of my decision, I pressed the play button.
Thud! The rock landed hard on Manu's head. The bearded man jerked, suddenly unconscious with a bloody head.
Jia lifts the stone again. Just then, Kat opened her eyes.
"Hey, what are you doing!?" The girl screamed.
Jia flinched and looked back while Kat got up and grabbed her bow and quiver.
Before Kat could aim, Jia threw the stone at the girl. Luckily Kat managed to dodge, but Jia was already running towards her.
A fairly loud thud was heard as soon as Kat landed after Jia tackled her. Jia then sat on the girl's stomach and tore her clothes at the chest. Kat's breasts were instantly exposed.
Bastard!
Kat was about to fight back, but Jia was holding her hands up. The man chuckled in a creepy tone.
And his expression. I wanted to throw up when I saw that disgusting expression. He licked his lips while scanning the girl's breasts with bulging eyes. His face showed as if he was looking at tasty food.
"Earlier, I was asking that friend of yours in a whisper so you wouldn't hear. He said he hasn't touched you at all." Jia giggles. "Too bad, even though your body is extraordinary. Your hips are big, meaning your cunt is tight. It's a shame if people don't use it."
I squeezed my head in panic. Isn't there anything I can do!?
Kat gave Jia a sharp look. The veins on her neck and face began to bulge. Her lips also started to tremble.
This is the moment where Kat shows the most vivid expression.
Jia slapped the girl's cheek so hard it made a red mark. "Don't look at me like that. Just enjoy what's coming. You're already wearing this slutty outfit, meaning you want to invite a guy to do it to you, right?"
I pressed the pause button.
"You don't deserve to be my colonist, you bastard!!!" I screamed with all my might. "Let her go!!!"
[You said a line that sounded like you were going to expel one of your colonists. Do you really want to do that? Click one of the options below]
[Yes] [No]
It's useless. Whether I expel him as a colony or not, Jia will still do that damned thing.
I sat on the grass and rubbed my face. This is all my fault. Just because my colonist met a prospective member once, I immediately accepted Jia, hoping that he would become my colonist. I didn't suspect him at all.
And now two of my colonists are doomed.
Two? When they left, they were more than that, right?
I looked around and found Rox already about to jump. His face looked fierce.
Oh, I remember. When I commanded Kat, I didn't ask her to shoot but to fight. This means she is free to not only use her bow and arrow. She can command his dog also.
Please, save your master, Rox.
I pressed the No button. Jia's profile window immediately appeared with a slight change.
[Jia, 32 years old (Escaped Tribe member)]
So, it turns out that the story about your exile was a lie, motherfucker? I bet you abused your tribe's female members. Maybe you do it continuously, from day to day. It's also possible that you do it to more than one woman. You threaten your victims not to talk to others. Then, after your victims reveal everything, you are punished. Maybe you will be executed but managed to escape.
"Fight him until he dies, Kat." I hissed in the girl's ear.
And finally, I hit the play button again.
"Rox, attack!" Kat shouted.
"Woof! Woof!" The dog ran fast, jumped, and pounced on Jia. At first, the dog looked like it was going to bite the enemy's neck, but on reflex, Jia raised his hand.
"Arrrrrgggghhhh!!!" Jia screamed hard as the dog's fangs pierced his right forearm.
Kat quickly inched backward because Jia's grip on her hand had slipped.
The man struggled while beating Rox, but the dog wouldn't let go of its bite at all.
"Let go of me, you damn ugly dog!"
"Rox!"
Hearing its master's voice, Rox released its bite and ran behind a tree.
"Fucking hell! You will suffer the consequences of hurting me!" Jia got up, holding his bloody forearm. "I'm gonna fucking you till your pussy is burning, bitch!"
The man looked around but couldn't find Kat anywhere. Of course, the girl was hiding somewhere while snooping around.
Behind a tree, the girl checked her quiver, which now contained only three arrows. Then, she looked at the area where she was tackled earlier. There were a lot of arrows scattered there.
Kat had only three chances to take a fatal shot at the bastard.
"Hey, come out you bitch!" Jia screamed again, still wincing in pain. "You don't want your friend's injuries to get worse, do you!?"
Zap!
"Acckkkk!" Jia screams in pain again.
Damn it. Kat's arrow didn't hit the man's heart but his left shoulder. The place is quite dark, and the only light comes from the bonfire. Kat must have had a hard time aiming.
The girl ran down with her dog, moving behind another tree. Jia checks where Kat had been hiding earlier, snorts when he doesn't find the girl there.
"Hey, it's useless for you to hide!" Jia looked more and more frustrated. "Come out and give your body to me!"
Kat took aim again. I could see that her breathing was a bit heavy, and her hands were a little unstable. She's nervous. Perhaps she was distressed by what would happen if she failed.
"Come on, you can do it, Kat." I cheered the girl on, though I wasn't sure my words would make much of a difference.
Kat gulped hard.
Zap!
The arrow missed and only hit a tree.
