8 Don't touch the money

After Max left, Ella walk to the near bread store and buy some of them. She bought the hard-brick bread for 5 copper and get 10 bread. She prefer to bought that bread because she can get many of them even if she just use half of her money. She also don't want to spend all of her money in one go.

The bread is hard but she eat it with joy on her face.

Ella walk in the middle of the city while chewing her bread and looking around. There's a lot of people and a lot of store wherever she look. There's also fancy carriage here and there, Ella can't see what or who is inside but she know that they are have a lot money.

Since Ella doesn't have pocket on her clothe, she just grab it with her hand.

Ella walk while enjoying her bread and the city's scenery, one thing that she didn't realize was, she being followed by two man not far from her.

Seems like those men saw her get a pouch of money from the guard. They are beggar from the slums and they doesn't have any money or job. They usually waiting for someone who kind enough to give them some money but ofcourse there's not much people who that kind to throw their money to some beggar that they didn't know.

But they accidently saw Ella get money from the guard and they thought since Ella is just a little girl, they can rob her easily. Even if she tell the guard that they robbed her, they can just make some random excuse and they can cover each others for the alibi.

Ella who enjoying her bread, suddenly feel someone hold her shoulders. When she look up, she saw two men looking at her with ill intent. Ella familiar with that stare. She feel that for many years until she want to puke because of that.

Ella, with the bag and the pouch on her hand, run without any delay. The men's hand can't hold her because of her sudden reaction. They who saw Ella running, start chasing her. But with the crowd on the road make it hard to catch her, on the other hand, with Ella's body size, it make easier for her to slip between the crowd and make her escape the two men easily.

But there's one advantage that the two men have but Ella doesn't. That is the knowledge of the town's road, place, alley, etc. It make them rather fast on finding her. Even though Ella running from them, she run aimlessly. She doesn't know where she go so she just run wherever her instinct say. But unfortunately, the two men find her.

"Well then, little girl, there's no way to run anymore. Also, that was rude to run away immediately after you saw our face."

While saying that, the two men approaching her slowly while Ella also retreating herself slowly. But after few step, her back bump into something. There's a wall behind her, it's dead end.

"What do you want?" Ella ask.

"Simple, we just saw you get a pouch of money from that guard. We just want that, hand over the money, and we will release you." he said.

"No." Which Ella answer with short and clear word.

She grip her pouch tightly and make it closer to her body and press it to her chest as if it was her most precious thing in the world. She glare at them to show that she will not give them the money no matter what. Also she try to intimidate them even though she know that it doesn't work to them.

The two men make irritated and decided to take it by force.

They try to take the pouch on her hand, but suddenly she bite the man's hand.

"Khh--! F*ck this girl!"

Can't hold their patience, both of them punch her on the face and on her stomach. Ella who got punch by them fly backwards and hit her back to the wall. Some liquid come out from her mouth, like blood, saliva, etc. And she fell to the ground while grunting and holding her stomach because of pain.

The two men not stop with that and start kicking her body for few minutes and then stopped. After they satisfied and sure that Ella can't move her body anymore, they take the pouch from her hand. She keep her hand tight even when she get kicked, even at this moment, her hand still grasp the pouch tightly.

But before the man reach his hand to the pouch, suddenly Ella move her body and open her mouth.

"Agggghhhhh!!!"

She bit the man's hand, his pinky finger to be exact, and cut it with her teeth. The man move backwards and fell to the ground with his butt first while screaming looking at his pinky.

"F*ck sh*t!! She ate my pinky!!!"

Ella munch the man's pinky inside her mouth and eat it.

"This little----!" The other man try to kick Ella again, but before he do that, Ella suddenly jump towards him and hug him. She open her mouth again and bite his neck.

"Agggghhhhh!!!" With her sudden movement, the man also fell to the ground while trying to make Ella away from him, "Let go of me!! FF***CCKKK!!"

But right after that, Ella tighten her mouth and rip his throat with her teeth. A burst of blood coming out from that man's neck. Meanwhile his meat that Ella rip from his neck is inside Ella's mouth and she chewing it. The man's body is twitching like crazy but it become slower and slower as time goes, and he died from blood lost. And Ella swallow the meat inside her mouth.

The other man's face, who got his pinky eaten, who saw what just happen become pale. He seems forget about the pain on her pinky because of what happen infront of him just now. He still processing the event infront of him but he wake up to reality after he saw Ella approaching him. He move his legs, try to get away from there, but he seems lost all of his strength on his legs.

"S-stay away!" he said.

But Ella didn't stop. She keep approaching him with her bloody face looking at him.

"STAY AWAAAYYYY!!!" he screaming.

Right now, Ella is standing infront of him. The fear on the man's body is reaching its peak. He can't move, his body is trembling, his teeth is make a ratling noise, his eyes can't focus, in normal case, he should be already fainted, but strangely he still concious. His stare can't move from Ella's face, and then he saw Ella opening his mouth.

"Please---" he force himself to say something, but before he finish his word, Ella's mouth is already on his throat and rip it off.
