We did it for the hell of it.

We did it for the good times and the bad ones, we didn't think about what shit might happen.But once you light a fire, it's gonna burn.

"I heard you were looking for my boss Sparkles." he said slyly. "I got the news that you wanted to pay him a little visit?" he said, and got down from the pedestal he was standing on. Unlike the Black Fox, he wasn't wearing the usual black tailcoat. "So, now you're here." he said, coming dangerously close to where I was standing. "Take your revenge." he whispered straight into my ear, making me shiver. Clenching my fist as if I was going to punch him instead threw my elbow backward, hitting him straight in the face, causing him to stumble back. "YOU-" he began, but then smirked. "Dad told me you were good. Let's make a deal. You can't fight with your powers, how about a hand to hand combat? And maybe a few weapons here and there." he said the last sentence under his breath, but I heard it anyway. "So you're Black Fox junior?" I asked, turning my head to where he was standing. This time, I could make out his features more clearly.

Boy of 20 with messy black hair; coldness glazed his eyes; lower face features, very sharp; reminded me of the typical cool bad boy type. He looked remarkably like his father. But otherwise, he looked oddly familiar. "Have we met before?" I asked, completely forgetting the real reason I was in the building. I was never the type to forget it, but for some reason, I did. "I don't know!" he cried, and sent a punch so powerful that it threw me across the room, onto the wall. 

When I looked back up, I could feel the fire burning in my eyes. He too had changed in his appearance. Well, completely. 

He.

Was.

A.

Fox.

"Watch out!" he said slyly and jumped towards me, but I escaped fast enough for him to get confused as to where I disappeared. Taking the opportunity, I threw a slice of fire aiming straight at him from where I was floating on the ceiling. "Grrrr!!!!" he growled in pain as it sliced his skin. Turning back to his human form, he jumped high; too high; pulling me down. 

Since he was holding on to my arm, I decided to let him feel how it was to have fire burning all over the body. Concentrating on my fiery spirit, I let the flames cover me, warming me from head to toe. "Ugh! Fuckin bitch!" cried Black Fox Junior, letting me go in an instant. I landed gracefully on the ground, flames slowly dying away. 

He lunged at me; I let out a surprised yelp. He had his hand against my throat. "Let. Me. GO!" I threw a fireball at him, but he resisted it, gritting his teeth. "Do you wanna really know how your parents died eh Kiara?" he asked, making me freeze. He-

He knew my name. And also that my parents are dead. "You don't know a thing!" I said between short breaths. "Oh, but I do." he said, clearly enjoying that I had nowhere to go. "How do you- how do you know my name?" I asked, still struggling. He was holding a strong grip, and I was now not even touching the ground. "I've known you all my life. But that's not what you're here to talk about." something clicked inside my brain. "Where are my friends?" I asked. 

"Oh? Them? They're right here. And...." he let go of one hand and took out a small remote. Clicking it, light flooded inside the dark room, and I could make out four glass containers as one of them was glowing very brightly. Even though I was losing one breath at a time, the electricity felt familiar. And there, I saw someone with their fists clenched against the glass, trying to break out, was Leo, covered in electricity, unlike I had ever seen.

In the other two glasses, I saw Nate repeatedly trying to punch through the glass, while Greg in the third was with his hands tied behind him. What Leo didn't realize was that the more electricity he gave out, the more it was getting absorbed into the conductor above his capsule, absorbing his energy. "L-Leo. Sto-stop." I choked out as I stretched out one hand towards him, but it was immediately pulled back, pinning it to the wall again. 

"And now, they're also gonna watch you die."

So the thing is, I always listen to music while writing, so when I'm writing a chapter, I'll be adding the link to the song I was listening to while writing, along with my favourite lyric from it!!!
