Tw: violence, swearing, slight mentions of death, threats
______________________________
The day of The Summer Dance was arriving way too fast in Perdita's opinion. Like time itself was working against her.
Why had it been so fucking slow when Mara and everyone else died, but sped up to the max with this? Why was this how the worlds and every deity in it decide this was how it was going to be?
It wasn't fair.
But then again, nothing ever was.
It was in the middle of Perdita's little internal tussle with time that Jagger approached, and unlike all the other times, Aki wasn't around to scare him off.
Not like Perdita was scared of him or anything.
He quite literally was just like Ankou, there was nothing intimidating about him.
"Now you listen here you little punk" Jagger growled and Perdita raised an eyebrow at him, "you've got a lot of nerve for what you've done to my sister."
"Explain"
"Ever since the day where you decided to get in the middle of her fight with that pussy, she's been acting different. So I want to know what you've done to her."
Oh, he was talking about Perdita kicking Juliana's teeth in.
"I'm surprised it's not was happened with me and Jasmine."
"Jasmine didn't act different after you beat her up! But Juliana, Juliana's been acting like a whole other person!"
"So what are you gonna do? You gonna shout at me?"
"Perti, maybe you shouldn't poke the bear" K worriedly suggested, but Perdita just ignored it.
"I'm gonna do to you exactly what you did to my sister, I'm going to make you wish you were never even born."
Perdita narrowed her eyes. If it was a fight he wanted to get into in this hallway, then it's a fight he will get in this hallway.
Hopefully anyone passing through won't get caught in the crossfire.
Jagger charged at Perdita who dodged his swing, jumping over Claw's follow up attack, and punching him in the face as K tackled Claw to the ground.
Jagger then followed up the attack with grabbing Perdita by the shirt and throwing her on the ground before swinging down with a punch.
Perdita rolled out the way, using her prosthetic leg to kick Jagger in the balls causing him to clutch them in pain. Taking the opportunity to do more damage, Perdita punched Jagger in the jaw sending him sliding across the floor.
"What was that about beating me up?" Perdita said cockily, smirking at how easy it took to make him fall.
Suddenly there were hands on her shoulders, and Perdita was thrown into the wall behind her.
Fuck. She should've realized Jagger would bring some lackeys for when he fell in this battle. Typical.
Facing the her two new opponents and their familiars, Perdita sucked in a breath.
Two to one was never fair, but that's just life.
The scrawnier boy was the first to charge, his familiar readying to pounce from his shoulder.
