Taewon-Demon Girl

'GHOST! GHOST!' he screamed. 'HELP!'

The girl ran towards him at full speed.

'YOU THIEF!' She shrieked and tackled Jan to the ground. 'WHERE IS MY SON?' She hit him hard and held up his collar. I tried to lift her off Jan but she elbowed me hard. Pain surged through my stomach and I knelt on the floor. Joonjae tried to pull her off but she kicked his foot hard. Jan was yelling in pain. Why was this girl so damn strong?

'Mee!' A child came running out of the house. That distracted her. She staggered off Jan and ran towards the kid.

'Deen!' she cried. 'Are you alright? Are you hurt?'

'I'm fine, Mee,' the kid said. The girl seemed relieved to see the kid unhurt. Then she rounded on us. We were still reeling from the pain. For a small person, she was inhumanly strong.

'I AM GONNA CALL THE COPS RIGHT AWAY,' she yelled at us. That angered me. I struggled to get up.

'We should be the ones calling the cops!' I shot back. 'You stalked us didn't you?'

'Stalked you?' The girl asked incredulously. 'You're the one who broke into my house and threatened my child!'

'This is our house!' I shouted. It wasn't. But it was our escape pad. So the house was as good as ours.

'YOUR house? I paid the rent on it! We live here.'

'W-w-well,' I stuttered. I was really angry. How dare this girl take away our place? 'We were here before you. You leave.'

'That's it!' she exclaimed. 'I'm calling the cops.'

'Oh go ahead,' I said. 'I'll sue you for assault.'

'Go ahead,' she taunted. 'You thief!'

Thief? She dared to call me, Hong Taewon, a THIEF? I never felt such hatred for a person before.

'You,' I said leaning over her. 'Do you even know who you're dealing with?'

She leaned closer, with clear defiance in her eyes.

'I don't care,' she replied.

'You should,' Joonjae said in English from behind us. The girl frowned. The kid stood still behind his mother, looking from us to her. Joonjae limped forward and turned on the porch light.
