❝ Pure hearts; Sinful desires; Endless love ❞
"Ain't it scary? How you can have everything you wanted only to lose it next second?"
She asked the picture holding it in her hand.. Her fingers brushing over the portrait taken years ago in the memory...
"He isn't there to take part... He will take over.." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━ × ━━━━━━━━━━━━━

A cold sensation clawed upon his face as he splashed the water over his face... With a severe back pain and head splitting ache over all of his head, he didn't knew what to do anymore... He could sleep for a second.. If what he see last night was tough then for fuck sake.. What awaited him was a nightmare... Surge killed him, he didn't and he was aware he needed to get his hand dirty too...
Rubbing his hand over and over, he saw his reflection in the water.. His distorted face from the ripples looked far better than what he looked like... Even Calem saw it but stayed quite... He was tired and the number two wondered if he could even battle tomorrow...
"Ash.." Astrid's hand patted his back lightly looking at him locked in his trances... He looked around at the hundreds of poster of all the students in battling list surrounding the stadium... It wad way too bigger than they expected it to be.. All thanks to Gary's shit doing, everything ranging from marketing to selling doublefolded.. They were earning hundred thousands in a day.. This event was to last for a whole week which meant money bath for them... At least in millions if Gary's statics was right seeing how much he marketised Ash's battle in the whole world...
But the said guy had lost will to do anything...
"The result was just declared.. It must be sent to your mail.." Astrid said sitting next to him who wad glaring holes at the fountain... No clue on her even now.. She disappeared almost like thin air... Not even a speck of her existence remained except those memories...
"Is that so.." He dipped his face into the cold fountain closing his eyes allowing himself to drown into the cold water forgetting about the voices in his head screaming at him to be worthless.. The cold water entered his nose as he pulled out in despair...
"How was it?" Talking seemed a good option...
"Calem was on rank 1.. Marnie on 4.. Dawn was on 6 and May was on 8..." She whispered leaning next to him looking at the water cascade down from his hair down to his neck drenching his black shirt.. His long black hair covering his whole face covered in cuts and bruises from the vigorous training he was doing... "What about you?" He asked not even bothering about his own ranking looking at her.. She leaned next to him shoving his device in front of him... His eyes trailed from Calem names finding her on rank 2...
He tried to sound happy but the voice didn't came out... It was almost like a debt he wanted to pay.. She was there for him ever since shit went down.. She testified for him after that fight, asked Calem for help, visited her everyday despite him yelling at her.. He didn't wanted to but he had to vent out somewhere.. He did it on those guys at school, those battling academy idiot and maybe even last night...
