A tale of two souls

Chapter 4: Rouge

So, Demonica could actually hold her own in a fight. Not only that, but defeat Rouge, the undefeated fight champion. Then the realization set in. That was the fight needed to pay her rent. Which means she would have to go back later to win another fight in order to make this month's rent. Panic rose up, but she forced it back down. Now was not the time to panic. She had a few scratches she needed to tend to before they got infected, and knowing her apartment, they probably would if left unattended. Unfortunately, she missed one on her back, and Lo and behold, she ended up in the hospital a few days later, worrying about how she would pay the hospital bill.
"Dammit. I'll never be able to pay this off. It's looking a lot like I'm going to have to crawl back to my parents and give up my freedom." Rouge grumbled to herself, unaware of any presence in the room.
