I will not die a Villainess's death

"Wait, this is not the way to the cafeteria. Did I happen to get lost on my way?"

Elysia had known that she was walking in the right direction but had she taken a wrong turn anywhere on her way and somehow ended up in this deserted part of the campus?

She was not aware that she had even left the main path because she had heard people chatter around her.

But looking around her now, there seemed to be no sign of any kind of life form. Elysia was alone wherever she had ended up at.

Footsteps were closing in around Elysia but she could neither see nor feel any human presence around her.

"Look at her, so helpless. She does have a gorgeous face as that noble said. Do you think we can have some fun with her before we hand her in?"

The words were spoken right against her ear as a hand clasped around her waist and pulled her closer to the body at her back.

Elysia's defense mechanisms kicked in at the right time and she stepped on her kidnapper's foot.

Even if she could not see the man or feel him, he could still harm him. And it was evident from the way she had been abruptly let go of as soon as she had hurt the man.

"Fuck you bitch, that hurt. I was thinking of letting you off easily but now you have pissed me off."

The man growled threateningly in Elysia's direction but the lack of visual made Elysia not as fearful as she should have been.

'I need to calm down and focus. I can narrow him down by his voice.'

Elysia carefully aimed her magic to hit a broader area and heard the voice curse. She instantly wanted to make another move when she felt someone's fist close around her arm and yank her down.

"Don't be too hasty now or you will get hurt. We were only asked to keep you alive, not to make sure you were alright. We will be forced to take some heavy measures if you don't comply with us."

This was a new and heavier voice that spoke in Elysia's ears. The pressure on her wrist increased and Elysia felt it break.

Despite everything Elysia had gone through in the past, she could never remember feeling the agony of having her bones broken.

She was sure she had broken bones before but she had never been conscious throughout it. Even the last time when she had been hurt, she had been knocked out and woken up exhausted.

The feeling of having that pain coursing through her body was a new one.

"Enough of this. Do you have that medicine we were given to stop her magic? I can begin it start to bubble up and I don't want to be caught in the residual explosion."

The calmer voice asked his partner. Elysia tried to pull her hand back but the man squeezed his broken hand in warning to not even try.

Elysia tried to blast him with electricity but another squeeze and her magic fell apart.

'Darn it. If only I was recovered and fully ready to go. How did I fail to pay attention to where I was going?'

Elysia could not believe the mistake she had committed. She had allowed herself to get distracted because of Victor's irritating attempts and now had ended up here.

"Well, I can give it to you if you promise me that you will allow me to play with her. It is not often we get such cute dolls on our hands."

The first man's voice sounded lustful and just hearing it made Elysia feel dirty. She did not want that man anywhere near her body.

'Please don't let him.'

Elysia's breath picked up in speed and she was sure her heartbeat was audible as well. Her body felt cold at the threat and she hoped that the second man would make up an excuse for his partner.

But nothing of that sort happened.

"Fine, now give it here. But you'll have to bring her back to the base yourself. I won't stay here and risk getting caught by someone."

"Aye aye captain."

The first one snickered as Elysia felt the cold stone-like feeling entering her body. She did not know why but everyone seemed to be in possession of magic-blocking drugs these days.

It was already Elysia's second time facing this situation.

"Hey man, are you really going to leave me alone with her? Don't you want a taste of this snack?"

Elysia tried to push the heavy body away from her but it was really difficult to do with only one hand and the man just laughed at her attempts.

"Aww, how cute. But you should just accept your fate and let me have my way with you. After all, you no longer have any value now that the crown prince threw you away."

The man laughed into Elysia's face as his breath neared her before Elysia managed to smack his leg and make him drop to the ground.

Even in her current state, Elysia was no damsel in disaster and she could feel that the drug she had been given was temporary.

If she managed to rise it out then it would be her win.

"Aggg, I was going to make it easy for you but I no longer want to treat you well. Just remember that you asked for this."

Elysia felt her hair being clutched in that man's hand while she reached out to take out her emergency knife.

Her reach was not enough to harm the man but she could still make him let her go.

Elysia's hand barely grazed the man's arm before he retreated and the knife met her hair. It must be an uneven mess now and Elysia would have to cut them short once she was free from here.

"How dare you. To think that I thought of you as cute before but no more. Your face, I will ruin it for you. Then let's see how proud you are."

Elysia's heat hurt as she felt the impact land on her arms. She had successfully managed to save the punch from landing on her face based on her instincts alone.

But that would not be enough to solve the situation. Elysia needed to get out of here and find help.

"You got lucky this time-"

"My, what horrible person you are to try and harm a lady's face like that? I wonder what Lord Dirac would have to say about your attempt on this matter? Now, I also wonder what reward he would give me once I hand you over to him."

Elysia did not know if she should feel relieved or worried hearing Victor's voice. The air was finally fading away to show the face of her kidnapper

It was an unfamiliar face, just as Elysia had expected it to be.

"You? Don't try to be a saint now. You are no better than me when it comes to behavior. You tried to make moves on her as well, I saw you back then. And now you come here to try and be a saint? I see through you man. You and me, we are the same."

The kidnapper accused Victor, his voice going from scared to happy and amused.

"Are you talking about me? I am sure you're mistaken. I am just a respected teacher who is worried about his student. See, I even came out here to find her when she was late and this is the welcome I get."

Elysia did not believe the act Victor put up but he was her only source of support in front of that man.

Her kidnapper let out a startled laugh of disbelief as he looked Victor over. His eyes looked crazed and righteous as he pointed toward Elysia.

"Do you even believe what that man is saying right now? You might now know it but you look like someone had their fun with you and then left you here hanging. Do you think your reputation will escape intact if I die? You will be ruined-"

"Oh, will she be? But nothing happened except we caught a criminal here. Now, I would advise you to not make any sudden moment or we will be forced to retaliate."

Elysia felt a sigh of relief escape her mouth as soon as she noticed Sora and Lady White enter the scene.

Victor had an annoyed look on his face which made Elysia sure that his plan had been foiled. Had he expected to take advantage of this situation? Most likely.

Her kidnapper looked surprised at everything that happened, his eyes looking right at Elysia as he spoke.

"You cannot let them kill me or something bad would happen. He told me that I was an important person who will play a pivotal role in the future. You cannot just let me die here or things would change."

"You, of all people should know what I am talking about Elysia Dirac. You cannot let them kill me off or what you know would happen for sure."

That came out all of a sudden. Elysia did not even know what to believe anymore. Her kidnapper seemed like he knew something about her and her ability to see the visions.

But it should be impossible since Elysia had not told anyone else.

"And you, you need to be careful if you want to not be caught. Not everyone is blind to what you are-" before the man finished, he was dead. He was struck by Victor's fist but the man seemed unapologetic about his actions.

"Oops, my hand slipped. I apologize for what happened here."

Victor looked anything but apologetic about what he had done. In fact, he looked more satisfied after killing that man.

But Elysia felt a little numb. Things had happened too fast for her to know what had happened.

She had been kidnapped, tried to take advantage of, and then saved, only for Victor to kill the person who might have really important information.

Things were venturing into unknown territory.

"We cannot stay here any longer. Victor, you go to the administration office and tell them what happened. We will go home for now and report to Lucas about what happened. We need to gather all our thoughts and decide on our next course of action."
