Villain of my own novel

"You.... can't ....do...that...." She then suddenly heard Vinny's mumbles and glared at him; he continued to repeat those words out like a chant, and...

FUMP

"!!" Before Katline could even react, she was thrown on the bed inside the room, with Vinny climbing on top of her with his unfocused eyes.

"Ack!!" Her arms were forced above her head; she couldn't even resist his strength. She felt scared and started to tremble.

'H-help.' Katline wanted to scream, but her voice didn't seem to come out of her throat, and before she could even voice something.....

R-RIIIP

"!!" Vinny tore off her top. She winced and tried to cover up her chest, but she couldn't even move. Though she was wearing her underwear, she didn't feel any safer. The more she looked at Vinny's face, the more she started to get terrified by it, and before she knew it, she was already crying uncontrollably.

"Aaaa!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs in terror; perhaps it was because of her voice; she regained some of her senses, applied mana to her entire body, and kicked his stomach. If she could even focus a bit more right at that moment, she would have ended the future of his 'next generation' right then and there, but since she wanted to get him off of her, she simply kicked him off.

BAM

"Uck??" Vinny groaned on the other side of the room and slumped on the ground. Katline crawled back towards the head of the bed, covered her upper body with her hands, and brought her knees close to her while crying.

"Huh?" Vinny's eyes regained their focus and he stared at Katline's state; she was looking at him as if she were looking at a beast while covering her body. Their eyes met, and Katline flinched and started to tremble again.

"K-Katline? Are you okay...." Vinny, who noticed the state she was in, wanted to get closer to her to 'support' her but halted his steps as he noticed that she was scared of him.

"G-g-get o-o-out, o-of my home!!" Katline yelped while shivering. She wanted to kill that man in front of her, but she couldn't bear the sight of him as it scared her; the more she was in his presence, the more terrified she became. She herself wanted to run away from there, but the words "my home" flashed in her mind, and she spoke them out loud without even thinking.

"Katli..." Vinny called out with a pained expression, but Katline cut him short.

"G-g-get out!!" She screamed and hugged her knees with her left hand, took out an arrow from her inventory, and pointed it at him with her trembling right hand.

"...." Vinny nodded and walked out of the room with his head down.

"....." Katline didn't lower her arrow for a second even after he left the room and continued to point at the room's door, just in case 'that demon' came back.

CLUNK

"!" Then she heard a subtle 'clunk' sound, and she recognised that sound, it was that of her home's main door closing. Even though she heard the sound, she still didn't lower her arrow; she continued to point at the door for a few minutes. She then slowly got off the bed and checked the whole house with a bow and arrow in her hands and trembling legs and body.

After she confirmed that he was nowhere to be found, she slumped right in the middle of the living room and passed out crying.

*

A few minutes later.

'You can't do that.'

"Gasp!!" As soon as Vinny's words sounded in her mind, Katline jerked back and crawled back until she felt something behind her back, covering her upper body with her hands.

She then noticed she was in her bed, and the spot where she was asleep had a thick blanket that was seemingly covering her body while she slept. She then began to wonder if everything was a dream and shook her head to dismiss those thoughts; those traumatizing memories were too vivid for a dream, and as if to prove her point, she felt skin on her hands. She looked down at her chest and noticed that she was wearing the clothes that 'that demon' had torn apart, and as soon as she remembered that, she started to tremble again.

TAK-TAK (6x)

FFISSSSH

She then heard utensils being used in the kitchen and flinched before trembling in fear. She thought that 'that demon' had come back to her house, and since her head was a lot clearer than it was at that time, she pulled her bow and arrow again, this time pulling the bow string ready to fire on sight.

SHUFFLE

She slowly moved to the side of the bed before getting out of it. The bed made a light sound, but since the sound of utensils was coming from the kitchen, that demon most likely wouldn't have heard the bedsheet's sound, she thought and continued to move stealthily. She wouldn't make a single mistake now and would kill that demon at sight. She resolved as such and continued to move with her bow string pulled back.

Many thoughts cruised her mind, and some of those were about that demon's rank; he was a rank-S hero, which meant the chances of his survival were high and hers were low, and then his face, which seemed to have traumatised her as just a thought about him started to terrify her, and the other was about how terrified Faye Clayton must have felt, though not to the level the news described that incident, but now that she herself had somewhat had that terrifying experience she wanted to completely support 'Sir Max,' who had sworn to destroy the Hunters Guild, though it was her own family's guild, it didn't matter to her at the moment at all.

She had arrived at the wall that led to the living room; if she walked out of the hallway that led to her room now, she would arrive at the living room, to which the kitchen was openly connected.

BA-THUMP (5x)

Her heartbeat quickened and she trembled slightly; she clenched her bow and arrow, loosened her pull on the string before pulling it back a little more strongly, she heard humming and the sounds of kitchen utensils, and she girt her teeth while hearing the calm humming of that demon who was behaving as if nothing big had happened between them.

SWISH

Her mana concentrated on the arrow before she jumped out from behind the wall; her arrow aimed at the kitchen's stove and was released; it all happened before even a second had passed!

Or....that was what's supposed to happen, but when she saw the white-haired man cooking food in a wok while maintaining eye contact with Katline, her entire body stiffened.

She just stood there dazed. The white-haired man finished cooking, plated them, and walked towards the dazed Katline.

FHUMP

"It's alright now." The white-haired man hugged her without any forewarnings; he tapped her on the shoulder as if proud of her and said in a soothing voice while rubbing her back.

Katline bit her lower lip as tears streamed down her cheeks; she dropped the bow and arrow before tightly hugging him while trembling, weakly, and weeping.
