Chapter 48

"Oh? You're going to fight me now?" Disaster said. "Why don't we just stick with one person fighting me?"

"Yeah." Earlia said. "And that person is me."

Disaster chuckled.

"You're something else." He said. "Alright then. I'll fight you.. but don't expect me to go easy on you."

Earlia glared at him.

"I don't want you to go easy on me!" She yelled. "You can stab me, rip my limbs off... but I won't let you bring me down."

Disaster smiled.

"Why don't you take the first hits then?" He said. "Since..well..you might be dead after this."

Earlia just stood there, and stared at him.

"Don't want to say anything or come to me?" Disaster said. "Fine. Guess I'll have to come to you then huh?"

He stepped towards her, and stood tall over her.

"Go on." He said. "I know how bad you wanna hit me."

Earlia still didn't say anything.

"Or do you not want to hit me at all?" He said.

"You? Letting me hit you first? Please. It's some kind of trick to-"

Cutting her off on her sentence, he punched her in the stomach, sending her backwards a bit.

"I told you," He said in a evil voice. "To hit me first, didn't i?"

She gripped her stomach in agony, and glared at him.

"Shut up.." she said in pain. "If I don't want to hit you first, then I don't have to.."

Shawn turned to John.

"He's going to kill her. I can feel it." He said. "John, what should we do?"

John sighed, then rubbed his forehead.

"If she gets severely injured, then someone will have to save her." He said. "She'll be angry, but it's for the best."

"Then who will deal with him..?" Shawn asked.

"Me." John said.

Disaster chuckled.

"Oh my.. you don't want to hit me first?" He said. "Fine, I gave you the chance but you don't want to take it."

He looked to the side.

"Let me tell you a little something, okay?" He said. "I Know you don't remember your parents, but I remember seeing them.."

She let go of her stomach.

"What..?" She said. "Don't joke with me right now."

"Oh, but it's true.." Disaster said. "I remember seeing you with them. You were only one years old. It's too bad your parents both died, huh?"

"And why are you talking about this?" Earlia said.

Disaster smiled widely.

"Do you know how your parents died?" He asked. "Do you even remember when your parents died?"

"Shut up.." Earlia muttered.

"How did you take care of yourself after that? You were so young."

"Shut up."

"..did you ever have a job?"

"I said shut up!" Earlia yelled. She landed a hard punch in his face, but he did not stumble back one bit.
