Not Your Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 18

{ Violence and death }

It was time, we all knew that.

Two days after Mk left the fortress and joined with the Lady Bone Demon. Days after his powers were discovered.

I was scared, frightened. But we had a plan. We knew theirs, but they don't know ours. Perhaps it wasn't much, having it be so urgent, but it was something.

We had my father back, but he still wasn't on good terms with me. He scared me, everytime I spoke my mind upon making the plan he gave me such a serious look. I tried my best to ignore it but it was hard. Around him I was anxious, always fidgeting to get my mind off of how close we were.

My mother would be in on the fight too, but she was of course still way to ignored for such a thing, none of us would even let her in on planning it.

Macaque and Monkey King trained me more since they knew more about the Samadhi Fire than I did. They told me the story, even though I've heard it before. Monkey King ended up revealing something, something he did before getting locked up.

The ring that had been broken, he did it. He knew something like this was coming, and he wanted some type of discourse. He needed it. He more than likely wouldn't be out of his cell right now if it wasn't for him stealing the hidden ring (not actually hid.)

At first Macaque was enraged, I myself confused but I didn't complain. I was unsure why Macaque was mad since  he wasn't apart of the ceremony to rid the powers from me, it must've been Wukong's behaviour he was pissed about. Fair enough.

I don't interrupt their fights, they're pretty scary if you were to ask me. Sometimes they all out fight, just for a minute, wrestling. Sometimes it's loud arguing. Who knows what you'll get! They're mysterious.

I saw monkey king and my dad talking a lot. They're enemies still, definitely, but they were sworn brothers once, they had chemistry together. I liked seeing them get along for some odd reason.

I, was alone. Mk being gone, I had no one. Macaque was busy and i didn't want to disturb my mom nor Wukong or my dad. I missed Mk.

Having all this alone time, I noticed things. I realized things. A lot too. Mk... it wasn't just the fact he's my enemy that makes me nervous to be around him, it's just him in general that makes me nervous. These unknown feelings soon came known, I wasn't sure if that was a good thing. I love Mk. I want to save Mk. I won't let anything bad happen to him, ever, and never again.

Dragon Girl paid a visit, Mk's best friend, after finding everything out. She offered to help, but we refused, it was too dangerous for a girl just discovering her powers. She was powerful, but we couldn't risk her life. Mei's a nice girl.

The sweetness of this all went away quickly when we noticed the Bone Demon getting closer, for some reason she was coming to us. It frightened be at first when I noticed that scary blueness to the ground near the front of our estate.

Then she was here.

Outside, practicing on the lawn, flames flying around me, my fists and body, as I did moves. I knew it would be soon, but not this soon. I stopped, something cracked behind me, like a stick. The flames still flow with the wind in my fists and hair.

"Who's there?" My voice echoes, nothing moves.

The moment I turn I'm tackled to the ground, yelping in pain. A hand is around my neck, but I can't turn and see, my head being dug into the dirt of my lawn. My hands aren't held down, so I lift them, grabbing the person's side and burning them. I hear them yelp and weaken. I roll over, punching them hard with a flame.
