Tales of the Heart (A QuoteV Original)

5: Nemesis...

Meanwhile with Odile:

"UGH! THIS BLOWS!" screeched Odile, throwing a book at her pet, the terrifying Krampus. "Every time that my little sister does something, or makes a little mistake, Mum would always praise her! When I do something wrong, Mum would always scream in my ears! Saying the F-word constantly! Isn't that a mortal sin even for Serpents like us?" The Krampus licked his paw. He then gave a growl.

Oddly enough, Odile's necklace had an activated voice.

Is there any place your heart wishes to escape?

"Yes," Odile replied, "There is...but it's quite hard for me to get there."

You could always keep a notebook to track down your feelings and other things.

"That could work...but...what if it doesn't for the next hundred years?"

Trust me...it will! But first...we must prepare for your plan!

 It was the night of the national Night-Ball tournament. Heli sat on the bench with the main ball on his forehead.

I really wanted Athena to join the game, he thought, She would really be a good fit to our team!

Heli frowned.

"We're up!" said Vincent, "Let's show those peasants what Serpents are made of!"

The whole team shouted their chant. And then they made their way to the field.

Heli went left, and then went right...he even passed the ball to Shion. They glided all over the field.

But suddenly, an Angel had snatched the ball from Shion's hands. Shion cursed under his breath, and ran after the Angel.

Meanwhile, Athena and Odette were watching the game.

"Who do you think is going to win?" asked Odette.

"I hope it's not the Angels," replied Athena, "'Cause I know they're not looking too good on the benches."

The Serpent team and the Angel team battled for the ball. One team fought for the one goal, and so did the other.

But every time, it was always a tie.

It was the peak of the game when the Angels scored 54 points, tying with the Serpents. The whole team was in anger.

"How are we going to beat the s**t out of them?!" asked Vincent, shouting that the team kept losing over the Angels.
