Euphoria

48: The Rulers Of The Dark

Maya woke up in his arms. His grip around his waist firm. He was sleeping like a baby. Maya pecked his forehead. This was all she had. He was all she had.
A dark sorrow slowly spread throigh Maya's eyes. What if they don't make it? Should they have just used the opportunity of that romantic fragnant in the air? And just touched themselves to the greatest depth? What if they don't get another opportunity again?
"Sunshine?"
"You're up?"
Maya rose her head. His sleepy voice felt like velvet against her warm skin. He chuckled messing Maya's hair up,
"Yeah, Angel."
She kissed his forehead, ruffling his hair,
"Well, freshen up then. We have a big day ahead."

"Hwa Unnie!"
Maya hugged, the cold assasin, making her smile. She rubbed Maya's arms,
"Yah! You really need to change Kiddo."
"Unnie, I haven't got any dresses."
Jae-Hwa's slender feline eyes scanned Maya. She yelled,
"Jungkook-ah! Collect your woman, she's trying Aegyo on me! It's not my fault if I make her mine!"
"I'm here Noona! I'm here!"
Jungkook said as he ran, trying to button his shirt. Jae-Hwa chuckled, flicking a finger on both their foreheads,
"Aish! You both are so cute."

Jungkook thought he had seen Athena. Not the same Eros or Aphrodite. But Athena this time. Wearing a white jumpsuit, with small details on it. Her bare shoulders and the halter neck. Her hair in dutch braids.
"Love?"
Maya said as her hips swayed towards Jungkook. The poor lad gulped. Hwr beauty and grace taking the best of him.
"You look gorgeous Angel."
Jae-Hwa rolled her eyes, scofging sarcastically,
"You do know that your praises and cutesy love won't get you to the top, right?"
And her coldness was back. The gummy smile and crescent moon eyes were gone. Back was the Slytherin. Jungkook's voice soft,
"Noona, it helped us till now..."
"But it won't in front of Dorchados and Tama."

"Atlast, we meet."
He twirled the fancy walking stick in his hand. A plastic mask covering half of his face. Wearing a rather fancy hat with a black satin coat. His dark brown mullet flowing on his neck.
"Quit the crap Dork..."
Jae-Hwa exaggeratedly widened her eyes,
"Oops! I mean Dorchados."
Jungkook swore he saw the nerve on Dorchados's long, pale neck pop out. Maya thought she saw his covered face turn red. Dorchados forced a smile,
"Dear me, Kang Jae-Hwa. I thought you must have let go of your temper when you befriended the person who won against you."
Jae-Hwa felt an embarrassment rise to her pale cheeks. She couldn't help but grit her teeth,
"Really? So they are the villain now? But what about you pitting us against each other? Stop this shit and get to the real fucking deal!" 
"Conteram illud!"
The voice calm yet commanding. Her heels hit against the smooth floor. Her rich silk dress making a trail. Her finger pointed towards Jae-Hwa, lifting her up as if she was a feather.
Jae-Hwa felt as if her muscles were being torn apart. Her bones twisted inside her flesh. Her veins twitching. She screamed, tears running down her squinted eyes. As if her blood was overflowing from the smaller glands in her body as needles went in and out of them in a cruel rhythm.
"Abstrahit a praeda."
Maya whispered, almost inaudibly. But wasn't she smart enough to guess what a yoing lady who is extremely inexperienced with magic is doing?
"Great attempt Miss. But I'm telling you, it's a huge miss."
Her eyes moved away from Jae-Hwa. A small part of her brain still focusing on Jae-Hwa. Maya smirked,
"Is it though? I mean, tricks get old easily."
Disbelief in her eyes. Maya sat their, as if she wasn't making the Great Queen of Darkness los eher focus.
Jae-Hwa tumbled back on the floor. Blood splattered on the floor as she coughed her lung out. Jungkook gasped, instantly crouching next tp her, helping her sit up.
Maya tapped her fingers on the table, glancing at Jae-Hwa. Her posture straight, legs crossed, putting on a poker face,
"See, I told you Tama."
"I'd like to be called Madame."
"Meh. We are of the same rank after all."
Maya shrugged. Smiling cockily. Why shouldn't she be confident? She is the same rank as them. She can do magic, just like them. Is the Mistress pf Cards, Spirits and Strength.
Dorchados smiled,
"You're too confident for a victim, Maya."
"Too confident for a criminal, Dorchados."
"Criminal? Oh dear me! You've misread everything!"
Maya chuckled bitterly. Throwing jer head back,
"Victim? Seems like you misread everything as well."
"Haven't you fallen a victim to all those dark, dark, dark dreams?"
Maya's eyes fluttered. Her fingers stopped for an instance. She again chased her smirk back on her lips,
"Haven't you been controlling those dark, dark, dark dreams?"
"Cut this crap! Stop this fucking shit! I'm not here for this riddles!"
Tama slumped down on her chair. Her eyes trying to pierce a hole through Maya. Maya reflected Tama's action,
"Well. I begged for the dreams to stop. But you guys acted like a little bitch. But it's my time now. After all, I am the goddamn Mistress now as well."
"You hearing that Tama-Dor? You created your own doom."
She chuckled bitterly, her weak body against a worried Jungkook, who was trying to calm her down.
"You dare to disrespect me?  Ea..."
Maya cut her off, comedically screaming,
"Flores et papiliones."
A gush of flowers and butterflies raged out at Tama, at just one snap. Making Tama overwhelmed at the sudden shower of nature.
Honestly, Maya couldn't help but think of distracting Tama again. She wasn't strong enough to hold back against Tama's attack.
Her eyes quickly went towards the distressed woman,
"Unnie, please. I can't see you dying like this."
She whispered, signing her to go away. Jae-Hwa chocked on jer qords. Her teeth gritted together,
"No. I won't leave you two here alone."
Tama massaged her temples, screaming to the metals standing at the other ends of the room,
"Guards! Take that filthy leech out of the room! Now!"
Maya saw Jae-Hwa being dragged away. Strangely enough, she didn't put up a fight. She just smiled at Maya and Jungkook. A tinted smile,
"Thanks for giving me your warmth."
