"Let's do it."
Maya felt the confidence she lost riding back her arteries. She smiled, her fingers inside Jungkook's
The air smelt of lavender. The walls and floor tiled. Clean and well furnished. The light not too bright, neither too dim. Well furnished furnitures, not a sharp edge to be spotted.
"Intruder. Intruder. Intruder."
A small army of robots glided towards them. Surrounding them in an instant. Maya growled at them,
"Fools! I'm the Mistress of Cards and Spirits. I'm here to meet the leader."
The robots cane forward and scanned Maya, instantly making a glitching sound. The young lovers clasped their palms over their ears.
"Liars! Liars! Liars!"
The robots kept on saying that on a loop. Maya felt the ring heat up. A gust of air whispering in her ear,
"Perdere omnia quae noceat te... Perdere omnia quae noceat te..."
Maya screamed, with all the power that heaven had invested in her vocal cords,
"Perdere omnia quae noceat te!"
With a loud blow of what felt like air the robots were pushed a few inches away from Jungkook and Maya.
"Ludere cum eorum mentibus. Ludere cum eorum mentibus. Ludere cum eorum mentibus."
Maya frantically mumbled when she saw the robots furiously racing towards them. Her palm in front of her. As if it was lit in pure fire. She felt a burning sensation. She muffled a scream as she felt fire rush through her muscles, scalding her skin.
The robots froze in place. Quickly falling down. how the screen placed on the robots metal body turned black with "SYSTEM CRASHED" written in bold letters. Maya ran into Jungkook's arms, shaking,
"I thought I would fail."
"I never did."
Jungkook tucked her hair at the back of her ears. He pecked her the top of her head, whispering,
"Loving you was the best thing I could ever think of."
"Love? Nah... You both are just stubborn!"
Tall, bony. Eyes sharper than a sword. She had an aura. She was a perfect slytherin. She was built for the runways. But her chuckle? That blood chilling laughter was made for an assylum.
"Who are you? Name yourself unless you are the coward you potray yourself to be."
Maya stepped in. Feeling hella confident. The woman chuckled again, merging into the shadows. Her profile was chef's kisses. Both Maya and Jungkook found each other staring at her. Her voice had something. Something that made both their cheeks flushed.
"You think I'm as easy as that old hag? Think again."
She jumped in front of them. Wearing a beautiful white jumpsuit. Her hair sleeked with gel. Her eyes had a smokiness on them. Small freckles on her skin. She embodied the word, "strength".
"So the rules are simple. Fight me. No weapons no magic. Just strength. One on one. So choose which one of you wants to die."
"I.."
"I DO."
Jungkook stepped forward. Chest puffed up with courage. Maya's eyes widened. He's muscular and can fight better than Maya. But with her? Will he ever even have a chance?
She chuckled, as Jungkook stepped forward. She glared at Maya,
"Create an arena for us, Princess."
Maya felt her palms garner sweat all of a sudden. Her ring itched, someone whispered in her ear,
"Funes sicut serpentes a pavimento metalli
vertere parati ad proelium"
Her voice shaking, as she gulped down her own saliva,
"Funes sicut serpentes a pavimento metalli
vertere parati ad proelium."
Red ropes came flowing out of her fingers. She lost her balance, as the force coming out of her fingers were really new to her. She slid down on the floor as the ropes twirled around creating an arena. The floor under Jungkook's feet turned into a cold shiny surface. She smiled at Maya,
"Don't play with fire when you don't know the rules."
She turned towards Jungkook, a confident smirk on her cold face,
"If you think that I'll go easy on you, pretty face. You're delusional."
Jungkook took his position, mirroring her. Trying to gulp down the fear. He worked out, he knew how to fight. But looks like she works out more, she knows fighting more than he could ever imagine.
Jungkook hesitated, should he hit a lady? But before he could do anything, she got a hold of his wrist. Twisting it she quickly found herself on Jungkook's shoulder. She pushed him on the ground, pinning him on his stomach. Her arms snaked around his neck, putting him in a sttong headlock. Jungkook flipped somehow, throwing her body on the otherside of the ring. Jungkook stepped back, catching his breath. Her grip was so strong. Strong enough to strangle him.
"Get up big boy."
She mocked, popping her knuckles. She rubbed the corner of her nose.
Maya clasped her palms over her heart. Tears making their way through her gorgeous eyes. Shaking. Completely out of her wits.
She did a cartwheel. Her heels hitting Jungkook's jaws. You haven't seen Chun lee in real life have you? She was the real lufe Chun Lee.
Jungkook tumbled across the arena to the other side. Blood oozing from his lips. Bruises on his beautiful face. He rubbed his jaws, looking at the gorgeous woman in front of him.
"What happened to you? Huh? Nit so big anymore?"
"I don't know. You are just an amazing fighter. Maybe I would've tapped out..."
"Who's stopping you? You are a stupid wuss anyways!"
"Love did."
Her eyes weakened. She shrieked regainjng her posture,
"You weak ass motherfucker! You are trying to distract me or what? You bastard!"
She stormed in, looking more dangerous than before. Jungkook kept backing eith every hit, his voice low and soft,
"I'm not trying to distract you. Tell me why you hate love. Tell me please. Don't hold it in. Don't trap yourself."
He fell on his knees. Wounds taking the best of him. His eyes teary. He still looked at her,
"Love doesn't make you weak. Please try to under..."
Jungkook groaned, palming his chest. He fell on the ropes in the arena, dragging the rope down with him. The crystal embedded lion that held the intersection of ropes secured shattered on the ground.
She didn't care much. She stepped on the glass, shadowing over Jungkook's weak figurine. He was whining, gasping for air, trying to shuffle.
"You really can't fight like a man."
Jungkook coughed, his palms grasping his sore muscles,
"No... Cause I'm trying to be a human. And humans don't kill off each other, because..."
Jungkook's eyes met her cold ones, he whispered, trying to chuckle but failing,
"They know how to love. They know what makes their heartbeat. They know the strength of love."
"YOU BITCH!"
Her foot went up from the hard metal ground. Jungkook clenched his eyes closed. One more hit and he was gone. Sorry Sunshine.
