Scarred to death

Taking a long puff off his beedi he blows the unholy smoke into the winter night.As the smoke clears, he sees a dark silhouette approaching him.Clad in a black saree,the pallu covering her head.Her beautiful face hidden in the darkness and the shadow of the looming trees lining the street.
Stomping the beedi under his shoes he walks towards her with a eerie confidence which detered her. He had approached the same way then and she had loved it.Her heart starts beating wildly as he closes in.Just like it had then. He stares at her as the wind blows her saree revealing her milky white waist.She could see the hunger in his eyes as he looked at her body.The calmness outside was contrats to the screams of her past.The screaming thoughts in her head were starting to build up with each second under his lecherous gaze. Then in one swift motion she pulls out the gun,points it at his heart. She could hear his heart pound or was it hers? Then she pulls the trigger and watches, as the bullet rips through his heart.She thought she knew the love he felt.She was wrong. Now she knew the pain he would feel.She was right this time .The sound of the shot merged with the scream and it echoed into the night.Just like it had when he had splashed the burning acid on her beautiful face.As she had cried in pain, he had sneered.Now falling down, he cought the last glimpse of her scarred face as the pallu finally gave way to the rushing cold wind. She sneered and walked off.Then she had wanted to share all the happiness with him and now she had shared her pain!

P.s: fiction listening to 'give unto me' by evanesence.
