32 Chapter 27 - Malignan

Medusa tightens her paw a little, then glance back at her mother.

"..." she is doing a mental battle in her head; she is debating whether she should save her or die with them.

On one hand, they are her parents, a child should never turn their back against their parent. However, on the other hand, her parents never loved her in the first place. Why would she sacrifice herself for this broken family? After she has done all the thing she should as a child, the parents might just be an ungrateful asshole and start blaming her for ruining their lives.

"Crawl faster! You stupid b*tch!" The guy that is watching over her yells.

Medusa has act quick now, or else she will be on so much trouble!

She takes a second look at his hand then glance back at her mother one last time; the bites her lip to wake herself up from her save her parents' dream.

She opens her paw and the Matchbox then takes out one match and lights it. Unfortunately, it didn't go off for the first time. Moreover, the match rips into two pieces and totally lost its functionality.

That is like a warning for her that, once she did this she can never go back. It's a point of no return once she really chooses to do so.

"For freedom!" She takes out a second Match and likes it up, then throw it on the wheatgrass bed that she had spent over a decade sleeping on it.

Then she throws the whole Matchbox that is full of matches into the flaming bed. She didn't notice that on the other side of the Matchbox, there's a hand-drawn picture of an ugly woman with a head full of snakes! But she is too focused on the flaming bed, she did not notice the strange picture on the box. After she threw the box into the fire, the flame immediately boosted up a lot more! Before it was a small flame that is dancing around the bed, with a few blows, it will get extinguish; if the flame before was a child dancing, then the flame after Medusa adds the Matchbox is a grown man fighting!

Powerful, terrific, and hot. The fire is like bacteria inside a human's body without any antibiotics; spread rapidly. Her parents and the guys still didn't realize that they are about to get burned alive.

She then walks toward the fire and pick up some of the wheatgrasses and place it all around her room. Since the whole house is made out of woods, except the hallways, that's is a aftermath of mining by her ancestors. She places the wheatgrass on different spots in her room, trying not to miss a single spot. She is trying to add fuel to the fire, and the wooden floor in her room is without a doubt the best choice.

With Medusa's help on spreading the wheatgrass onto the wooden floor, the flame soon rises upon the floor. Due to the huge fire that is burning inside Medusa's room, a large amount of smoke starting to come out.

Medusa covers up her mouth and nose to prevent the smoke getting into her body; she quickly runs to the bathroom and jumps into the toilet.

This toilet is not like the modern time's toilet. It's just a simple hole in the middle of a wood plank. Underneath the plank, there's a big tube, it's used for collecting the waste from this family. Therefore, the smell is horrible. Months of human waste sitting inside one tube. Fortunately, this tube is full with liquid waste, so when Medusa jumps into the tube, no matter how big the fire is, it can't get to her because she submerges into a tube a liquid.

Her father still doesn't have any idea what is going on inside Medusa's room; just sitting in the living room, waiting for his death to come.

"What's that smell?" The guys smell the smokes that are coming out of Medusa's room. Since Medusa's mother is too afraid to pick up her head to look around, so she didn't take the guy's word seriously, she thought that the guy is just making another excuse to humiliate her.

The guy hears no response, he then picks up his foot in anger and kicks her heavily on her butt. However, this time she did not trip over herself because she knows that this guy is going to humiliate her after she didn't reply to what he had said earlier.

After she tanks the kick, she then speeds up because from when she started crawling every kick the guy kicked her is a reminder for her to speed up.

"You're ugly as f*ck, but your butt feels pretty god damn good! I will give you a nice massage after this! You will fall in love with my skill!" The guy humiliates Medusa's mother.

Back to the living room.

"Yo coward! Did you get any food? I'm hungry!" A guy asks.

"He still hasn't recovered from your 'bang', HaHa!" The other guy sees that Medusa's father sits on the floor looking like he has lost his soul and said.

"Damn it! I'll just take care of myself then!" The first guy starts to walk around the house, picking up all the cans he sees and after discovering they're empty then throws it on the floor. After a docent of times of picking up and throwing away, he still hasn't found any food yet.

"God damn it! This guy doesn't store food in the house!" The first guy said, then spit on Medusa's father and walks toward another cabinet. It's like God knows they all going to die soon, so it prepares them for their last meal so they won't be hungry.

The guy opens the cabinet then picks up another can hoping he can find some dried meat or something. Instead, it's a can full of cooking oil, he got so pissed and throw it on the floor hard, causing the oil to splash on to his pants. He then kicks the puddle of oil to vent his anger, but the oil is too slippery for a person to kick on, so without a doubt, he slips and falls down again.

"Hahaha! Look at you! looking like a f*cking fool! Hahaha!" The other laughs.

"Get me up man!" The first guy gets even angrier and yells at the other guy who is laughing at him.

"Who? Me? Nop! You better get your self up!" The other guy walks over to the cabinet and reaches for another can. He looks in and gets excited then said,

"Look! This coward has a bottle wine store! Looks like it's been here for a while!" Some people had alcohols that were passed down by their family ancestors.

"Give me that!" The first guy slowly gets up from the floor and reaches over to the other for the wine.

"Wait! Let me drink first!" The other guy said.

The first guy is mad at the moment, so he didn't listen to what the other said to him and just forcefully takes the bottle of wine. The other is not a coward like Medusa's father, so he fights back to prevent the first guy overtaken the wine. Due to the large movement with the two guys, the wine spill all over on them both's clothes.

"Look at what you did! We have no wine left! God damn it!" The guy complains.

The first guy angrily looks at the other guy, but since he is one of his brothers so he didn't say anything back; he walks back toward where Medussa's father is and starts to punch him hard and brutal to release his anger.
