Viper

Ch 9 - ...Have Consequences

 "A thousand times I've imagined this moment. Never like this..." Amara stopped and slipped into an alleyway "All we ever wanted. The boy didn't even haggle. And what do I lose but problems?" Silco muttered to himself, he sat at the foot of Vander's statue, still standing tall outside what sued to be his bar. "Oh, it all makes sense now, brother. Is there anything so undoing as a daughter?" Amara furrowed her brows...Jinx...

"Ah, and my lucky charm decides to grace us with her presence." Sevika called through the bar as Amara entered. She smiled and walked over, forgetting the odd scene of Silco in despair. "Are you losing?" Amara asked shedding her jacket "Not with you around, angel." she tugged Amara into her lap and smoked her cigar. "Everything you ever dreamed?" Sevika asked as she dealt her hand "Mmm, best part was the satisfaction of leaving her first." she felt Sevika's hands tighten but she kept her face blank. "Does it bother you? That Vi is laying in my bed naked while we're here?" Amara whispered kissing Sevika's jaw. The older woman huffed "Of course." Amara grinned "Good."

The door slammed open and all eyes shot up "Looks like it bothers her too." Sevika grumbled. "Everyone out." Amara called, the others shuffled out and Vi stayed where she was. "New toy?" Amara asked surprised Jayce let her keep them." Vi said nothing. "If you came where to fight over me it's a lost cause, love." Amara said softly. She did not move from her seat in Sevika's lap. "I- I didn't come here for you." Vi shook her head like she wasn't even sure herself. "This was my home..." she looked around the bar and what it had become.

"I don't think she's here for you, angel." Sevika stood and Vi's eyes snapped to her.

Angel

"Some things can only be solved the old fashion way." sevika removed her cloak and loaded her arm with shimmer. "No, please." Amara stood, she didn't know what she wanted but she knew she didn't want them to kill each other. "You've been giving long talks about choices lately." Sevika commented glancing to Amara "About choosing your path in life and dealing with the consequences." She looked the now frightened girl over "Well this is yours."

She didn't want this...but as the old saying goes...

You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Vi lunged and it was on. A battle like the undercity had never seen. They were an equal match. Sevika had strength and shimmer running through her veins, her metal arm also a sword that could cut through stone like butter. Vi was hard-headed and determined, and she always got back up. Thanks to her new gloves she packed a punch that could shatter bone.

"Stop!" Amara yelled but neither listened. "This is my home!" Vi grunted as she punched Sevika in the gut, she flew straight into the bar and crumbled half of it to pieces. Sevika stood like it didn't even affect her. "Please, Vi go back to the top side...please just leave it be!" Amara pleaded. Blood and spit flew, she lost track of who was winning. "You took my life!" Vi went in for another round of abuse. "You took my sister!" Sevika was taking the brunt of Vi's anger but she seemed unbothered, she was almost smiling.

"You took my girlfriend!" Vi screamed and jumped up for another blow but Sevika caught her arm and brought her face close to hers "I didn't take anything...you left." she spat and threw Vi across the room. Vi groaned and rolled off the table she broke with her landing. "Stop!" Amara yelled standing between them "We don't need to fight each other. Silco made a deal with them...we don't need any more bloodshed." They stood facing each other, Sevika breathing hard blood dripping from her forehead. Vi spit out a tooth. "Step aside, princess. For once this isn't about you." Vi lunged again.
