Illusionist - Ryeji

Behind Falls

Hellooo, I hope you like this chapter... I've been extremely stressed due to school pressures recently, and while writing so I apologize for typos and the quality of this work. Anyways, I was considering making this the last chapter... but I'm not sure yet..

Enjoy! Let me know what you think..

Ryujin felt her world tumbling, her feet moving faster than her mind, tripping and rolling through the forest. Her hands cut, and covered with Yeji's blood. Her cheek bruised from falling onto a jutted out branch. Her tears stained her cheeks, and her mouth seemed to foam from rage and the conflicting of emotions.

Yeji was dead. She was dead in this... test world, in a way. She was unable to help, unable to lead her like she did originally. If she didn't get herself revealed, she'd be dead with her. For that, the raven-haired ran, avoiding places she knew warriors were set up.

She went straight to Lia's, deciding that Felix would expect her at the camp. She knows Yeji said to find Yuna, but o

If she could convince Lia the fate of their future was in her hands, perhaps she would reveal her. She found it ironic, how badly she hated Yeji at first for causing her so much pain, but now she wanted nothing more than Yeji to do it again.

She knocked on the door, Lia opened it with wide eyes upon taking in Ryujin's appearance. Her armor the same as a warriors, and her being beat up.

"I need you to reveal me." Ryujin said, throwing off her armor and taking off her shirt.

"Woah woah what are you-"

"Yeji is dead, the future relies on this, Lia, please." Ryujin said, begging. Her eyes shinning the truth. Lia gulped, still panicked about everything that just came out of the raven-haired's mouth.

"Y-Yeji is dead?" Lia said, voice small, tears forming in her eyes.

"Someone used the artifact. She won't be dead for long." Ryujin sighed, running a hand on the back of her neck. She was fighting her own demons to choke those words out, squeeze them from her crying heart.

Another bang came on the door, Yuna, panting, walked in. She seemed relieved.

"Yeji must be here then too right?" Yuna said, huffing. She then took in the scene. "No... no there's no way-"

"Yuna, please." Ryujin said, closing her eyes to fight the image sinking into her mind, seeping in. "Do it." She said, laying down on the table, her back open.

"Ryujin are you-"

"I said I'd try my best, my best to make things right. Please." Ryujin said, Yuna hesitantly walking over.

"Ryujin, I can't." Yuna said, resting her hand on her back. "You have to be attracted to the person who reveals you."

"What?" Ryujin felt a pang in her chest, stomach dropping. "Why would Yeji tell me to find you then-"

"She was on her death bed. She probably forgot." Yuna sighed.

Ryujin started to shake, feeling herself getting torn apart from the inside.

"Ryu, if what you're saying is right, I'm sorry for what I'm about to do." Lia said, her silence ending. She gulped, taking two steps toward Ryujin before kissing her quivering lips. Her hands ran down the girl's back, purposely hitting places she knew people were sensitive.

Ryujin tried to ignore the pain in her mind, the guilt she was feeling. But, if she ever wanted to see Yeji again, this was necessary... so she kissed back, and continued to fog her mind with lust over her sorrows.
