"E, you ready for the match"
"You kidding me Ci,I was born ready, I'm gonna show them some serious fire power"she fist bumped the air.
"You do that,now let's go"
Evette and Ciara started walking to the arena but Evette took her eyes away from the way for a moment too long which ended with her colliding with a hard chest and she felt strong arms wrap around her waist and from the woody scent she knew it was a boy.
"Ouch,I think I broke my nose"it was meant to be a whisper but the person she had bumped chuckle as she held her nose.
She looked up to see who it was,she was tall for a girl taller than some boys even but this person still towered above her as her head barely made it to his neck.
"Kyle,"her voice turned hostile as she recognized the brunette,she put her hands in between them in order to push him away but he tightened his hold on her.
"Look,I'm sorry for what my family may have done to you but I would never intentionally hurt you,I'm asking you to forgive me, please"
"Let go of me,Im gonna be late for my match" she attempted pushing him but he didn't budge.
"Please,I don't want you to be hostile around me,I can never erase what has happened but I'm not the same, that was my father, please just give me a chance to show you that I'm not a rich,spoilt brat,like the mental image you have of me"
She continued to protest"you know what they say,the apple doesn't fall far from the tree"
"Please just give me a chance"
He stopped to see that she had stopped trying to push him and her hands were at her sides.
"Okay,I will"
"Thanks you won't regret,can you tell me what happened later after your match"
She didn't say anything but she nodded.
"Good, good luck with your match"he leaned down to whisper in her ear,his husky voice had a teasing tone to it.If she wasn't angry she would have melted into a puddle. No wonder Liana was so possessive about him.
"Thank you,now I gotta go"she walked past him.
Making her way to the floor she discovered her opponent was already down.
"Where were you" she saw Ciara looking at her.
"Just got distracted"she jumped off the railing and sat on a hand of fire that took her down to the floor.
"Evette Hearts is here everyone" the announcer yelled when he saw her land,"her opponent is Luna Sei" he continued.
Evette looked at Luna, what interested her the most was Luna's hair,black with streaks of different colors making it look wild.
"I like your hair"
"Thanks darling, your hair's not so bad itself,I like the red"
"Thanks"
"Let the match commence"
Evette looked at Luna cautiously waiting for her to attack first so she could have an idea of what her powers were.
Luna brought out the guitar she had been carrying on her back,she struck a chord and a sound wave came out, Evette flipped to the side avoiding the wave.
"So it's music" she thought to herself.
She was about to throw a fire ball but Luna screamed,her voice was so high that Evette had to cover her ears,anymore she thought and she was sure she would turn deaf.
When the screaming stopped she quickly rose a pillar of fire from the ground but Luna dodged,she was about to strike another chord on her guitar but Evette attacked stopping her.
Evette continued her rain of attacks making sure that Luna had no time to scream or play her instrument.
She used her flame to bind her and collected the guitar from her.
"The match is over and the winner is Evette Hearts"the announcer spoke after he made sure Luna was actually binded and couldn't break out.
Evette released her after she had been declared the winner and handed her guitar back to her.
"I like you Evette,I would love to see you again"Luna smiled and Evette nodded.
"Sure" she went to meet her friends who were waiting for her.
"Jude, you're next,you better clear it" she winked before leaving them to her room.
Eventually they all dispersed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I haven't heard from Mila for a while now"Jude thought as he lay on his bed
before falling asleep.
"Jude"a familiar voice called out.He turned around to see Mila.
"Hey Mila"
"Hello son, have you discovered your powers" she already knew the answers but she still asked.
"No"
"Don't worry,it looks like you're a late bloomer"she smiled "don't forget to ask me anytime you need help"he nodded.
"Bye"she smiled before disappearing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyle waited for Evette at the garden.
"I'm here"she came to stand beside her.
"That's good,okay,can I hear the story now"
She nodded.
Flashback
A young Evette ran to the duke as he was coming out of a building about to enter his car.
"Wait"she ran up to him her face soaked with tears,her clothes filthy with dirt,her hair tangled like a bird's nest.
"Please come,my mother needs help, she's bleeding,she's going to lose her baby,please I'm the only one at home, please help her"
What she didn't expect was that the duke would kick her aside,"how dare you touch me, filthy peasant,do you know who I am"
"No but I need your help"she deadpanned.
"I'm the duke,I shall not indulge in such trivial matters"
"Aren't rich people meant to help those in need,I guess all of you royals are just evil,don't worry,what gods around comes around" she shouted at him.
"Guards get her"but she ran away.
She eventually got help,her mother was saved but she lost the baby.
*End of flashback*
"I'm sorry for what my father did,he's a better person now"
Evette laughed"a cheetah never loses its stripes,you shouldn't apologize,you did nothing,I'm sorry for taking my hate on you when you did nothing "
"So you accept my apology"
"Yes,now go get your girlfriend before she thinks I'm trying to steal her from you"she teased him but it backfired when he wrapped his arms around her waist and it took all she had not to blush.
He leaned to her ear and whispered, "who cares what she thinks"his husky voice rang in her ear.
She steeled her resolve"I care,I don't have time and mental strength for drama,so release me before someone gets the wrong message" he released her.
"Goodnight E"he spoke before she could leave.
"Yah, goodnight"
