The Super
Girls.
That
day was just another tiring school day for me. It’s such a long day. Not to
mention the homework that were piling up waiting for me to have it done. I let
out a sigh. It was just a layer of tiredness on my multi-layered cake of
exhaustion. I walked lazily when suddenly someone covered my head and
everything just turned black.
I woke up in an unknown room. Four
women sat on the bed. There’s a woman standing by the window and another woman
sat on a chair beside the bed. The six of them rushed to me when one of them
mentioned that I have woke up. A friendly looking person smiled at me. She’s
quite tall and her skin was a little bit tan. She then held my hand and asked
me if I was okay. Two women with cat like eyes and fair skin smiled warmly at
me and told me that I don’t have to be afraid. They looked so alike and I
assumed that they’re twins or maybe blood sisters. The person that was standing
by the window just now gave me a glass of milk. That woman with Caucasian
look gave me a smile. I was hesitant to drink it at first but their warm smiles
just melted those feelings away. The other two women just sat by the bed. They
both looked like Asian with fair skin. Maybe they’re Japanese or Chinese.
That night, I had dinner with them.
I was really anxious about what is really happening. Suddenly I realise
something; my family must be dead worried about me. How could I inform them
that these six women saved me? While I was still worrying about that, they came
and sat with me in the living room. They started to introduce themselves
properly. The woman that’s a little bit tan was Tun Fatimah. The two who looked
alike were Trung Trac and Trung Nhi. Just like what I thought, although I was
wrong on the twin part, they’re biological sisters. Others called them the
Trung Sisters. The Caucasian woman was Joan of Arc. She surely smiled a lot
since she never stops smiling since I first saw her. The Chinese like woman was
Hua Mulan, and to be exact, she’s truly Chinese. The last one was Hangaku
Gozen. She’s Japanese and she’s quite a cold person. She just kept her straight
face but I could still fell the warmth through her eyes.
I got a lot of questions to ask them
and so I took that chance to ask them. The first one was the reason I was
there. They said that there’s a dark clan consists of nine vampires that feed
on human blood called ‘The Black Soshi’ that’s turning weaker day by day and
they needed my blood to make them stay strong. They’re the ones who tried to
catch me that evening but luckily these six women that had been watching over The
Black Soshi’s activities; killing humans for years was there to save me and
took me to their house. I was taken aback by what they had told me. Suddenly I
felt so scared and started crying. Mulan quickly took my hand and calmed myself
down. She told me that as long as they’re by my side, no one could harm me. But
Why me? Joan stated that my blood was special; it was different from other
humans or creatures. She also added that humans with this kind of blood only
exist once in 999 years. The Black Soshi had been yearning for my type of blood
for such a long time.
After that, I asked them why they
are staying together. They’re from different countries and races and also
religion. They just shook their head and smiled. Fatimah told me that the fate
brought them together. I nodded my head and had a little conversation with them
before I went to sleep.
It had been two weeks since I had
live with them. They treated me so well that I felt homey there. I was never
allowed to go out. Even in the house, there was always one of them accompanying
me. However, that evening I was so eager to go out. I wanted to feel the
evening breeze. They forbid me to do so but I stubbornly sneaked out.
I walked quite far from home. I just
realised that the house was placed in the middle of a forest. It felt so good to
go out. I walked a little deeper and arrived at quite a shady place. No
sunshine at all. All of a sudden, a blonde girl popped out unexpectedly. She’s
wearing black and her skin was so pale. She smiled at me but it felt so cold
and insincere. She came close to me and I started to feel afraid. She called my
name and told me that she’s Jessica.
Suddenly her black eyes turned red
and fangs appeared in her mouth. She pushed me hard to a tree and locked me
with her hands. She moved her head closer to my neck and that made me realised
that she’s one of The Black Soshi. I could feel her breath on my skin and I
knew that my death was getting near. Oh god, please forgive all my sins. I felt
her fangs brushing onto my skin. I closed my eyes and suddenly the grip on my
hands loosened. I opened my eyes slowly and found a body covered with dark
coloured blood lying in front of me. In addition, the dead body got no head. Then
I saw Hangaku standing there with a long samurai sword in her hands and a head
with blonde hair beside her. Her eyes filled with anger. She looked up and
turned to me. Suddenly the gaze turned into a gaze that’s full of warmth.
“Let’s go home,” she said and took my hand.
Those women were so worried with
what happened. The incident that happened this evening just proved that the
vampires were still looking for me. With determined voice, Mulan suddenly said
that the time had arrived for them to made the Black Soshi vanished from this
world before they kill more innocent persons. The other five agreed to her
while I just sat quietly at the corner of the room.
The next day, the women was ready in
their fighting attire. Tun Fatimah wore a pair of blue attire with a piece of
cloth tied on her waist. Another piece of cloth was tied on her head. For me,
she looked exactly like a Classical Malay warrior like in those black and white
movies. She inserted a ‘Keris’ at her waist. The Trung sisters wore a
traditional Vietnamese warrior attire complete with their weapons. Joan of Arc
had a sword in her hands and she’s wearing a hard metal outfit. Her eyes were
burning with courage. Then Hua Mulan came out of her room wearing green attire
with a shining sword in her right hand and a bow in her left hand. Hangaku
Gozen wore samurai attire and she inserted her long Japanese sword in its case
that’s hanging on her waist. They looked so persistent to face The Black Soshi.
We walked deep into the forest and
arrived in front of a cave. Suddenly a loud echo of laughter was heard. A
small-figured girl walked out of the cave with other seven girls following her.
The one that was laughing was The Black Soshi’s leader. She’s pale just like
seven others, her eyes were black, and they all wore black outfits. She got two
small diamonds at the corner of her eyes. She focused her gaze on Tun Fatimah
and started speaking. “One of you killed our Jessica,” She paused for a while
and continued, “... as a reprisal, give us that girl...!” She said and pointed
her finger at me. I was completely frozen. The pressure was gradually rising. Mulan
who was beside me smirked and said, “not even in your dreams...”
Mulan shot an arrow and it landed on
Soehyun’s chest. She smirked and pulled it out roughly. Then the war started. I
was so scared. They asked me to stay aside and didn’t ever allow anyone to come
near me. I could see Hangaku swaying her sword with her eyes full of hatred.
The Trung sisters were fighting without a pinch of fear. Slowly, one by one
died in the six women’s hands. The war continued until night arrived. Joan was
badly injured but she still persistently swaying her sword. I could see blood
dripping from Fatimah’s face but she was still in the spirit to fight those
vampires.
The last one standing was Yoona.
Even their leader was already dead. She focused her gaze at me and swayed her
left hand allowing some bullet-like things came out from her nails towards my
body. I could feel those black things sinking in my neck. I heard screams from
the women and suddenly everything turned white.
I opened my eyes and found myself on
a white bed in a white room. My mother cried happy tears when she saw me
gaining my consciousness back. I asked her about what happened. She told me
that a car knocked me when I was walking home from school. I wasn’t badly
injured but I lost my consciousness due to the impact of the hit. I had been
lying on the bed for five days. I smiled upon hearing that.
I moved my hands to my neck and I
felt it; the scars on my neck. I wasn’t here for five days but only myself knew
where I went to and it wasn’t for just five days, it was two awesome weeks with
the legendary female warriors in history. I carved a smile on my lips. I would
never forget about what happened. They were my Super Girls.
