The Tales Of Esmeralda

Chapter 13: Fucking Up At The Wrong Time

"I FUCKED UP!" Esmeralda yelled to Yolanda and Sebastian later in their room. Esmeralda took a deep breath. "Ooo I fucked up."

"Oh that's obvious," Sebastian muttered.

Esmeralda glared at Sebastian. "No shit, Athena."

"Okay, okay, come on, come on," Yolanda said. "Calm down, calm down... Now...how do we...hrn...we need to try to make sure you win..."

"We should come up with something when we're not extremely drunk," Esmeralda said, then flopped down on the one bed.

"Pfft! I am not extremely drunk!"

Sebastian glared at Yolanda. "Stand up."

Esmeralda sat up onto her elbows. "Yeah. Stand up."

Yolanda stood up. "See?" She put her fists on her hips. "I'm ffine."

Esmeralda smirked. "Take a step."

Yolanda frowned slightly. She took a step and was unable to keep her balance. She fell on her face.

Esmeralda and Sebastian started laughing.

"Yeah, I'm too drunk," Yolanda mumbled into the floor.

Esmeralda and Sebastian kept laughing their asses off.

The next day. High noon. Esmeralda still didn't have a plan.

"Okay!" Esmeralda said at the last minute, just seconds before the bitchy lady's husband came to beat her up. "Changed my mind! I'm just gonna leave Greece forever! Sound good?"

Yolanda and Sebastian glared at Esmerlada, Yolanda with her arms crossed and Sebastian with Triana in his arms.

"Ummm no!" Yolanda yelled. "You're Esmeralda the Good! You do what's right! The Esmeralda that I know wouldn't back down from this."

Esmeralda's heart started speeding up. If her heart could speak just then it would've said, "Do it! Do it! Fight him! Do it for her! Don't disappoint her!"

So Esmeralda listened. With a smirk on her face and her posture looking confident she pulled out her sword.

The guy was big. He was tall, about seven inches taller than Yolanda, and Yolanda was already pretty tall. He was also very muscular. Everywhere. His chest, arms, legs, everywhere. He was just a big guy. There was no other way to describe him than big.

As soon as Esmeralda saw how big this guy was she wanted to back down.

But then she realized that she wanted to look badass as fuck in front of the girl she...

Esmeralda then realized...she realized what she felt for Yolanda...

It was love.

She wanted to look big and bad and tough and bad ass in front of the girl she loved hoping she would then love her back.

Once the man was in front of Esmeralda she looked up, hurting her neck.

"Hello," Esmeralda said casually, as if she wasn't slightly scared. "I'm Esmeralda. And you are?"

"Going to destroy you!" the man yelled in a deep and idiotic voice that made Esmeralda think that that's how Ares would sound.

Esmeralda chuckled, trying to get rid of her nervousness. "Oh, you have big dreams. I'm gonna knock you out and then leave town. Or we can come to an agreement, shake hands, and part ways as if this had never happened. 'Kay?"

The guy huffed. "Big dreams? Maybe. But that doesn't mean I can't accomplish them!"

Esmeralda smirked. "We'll see about that."

Esmeralda raised her sword, and stabbed 'Going-To-Destroy-You' in the stomach.

Or at least she tried to. The sword barely went in. Widening her eyes and breathing out she backed away from the man.

The man looked down at the sword with a frown. He pulled it out. There was some blood on it, as expected. Esmeralda looked through his wound and saw that she pretty much just stabbed his muscle.

The man dropped the sword, and it clattered, making Esmeralda jump.

The man's jaw and fists clenched. "Ouch. That hurt."

Esmeralda was going to say something witty and/or sarcastic. Her mouth had other plans:

"Okay!" she said with a smile loudly, thinking that the man wouldn't be able to hear her otherwise. "I give up! I surrender! I will take my stuff, and we will leave this town!"

Yolanda walked forward to Esmeralda, and while she was still behind her she whispered in her ear, "Um, actually, we still need to buy groceries."

Esmeralda could feel Yolanda's breath on her neck, and she got shivers down her spine.

Okay Esmeralda, Esmeralda thought to herself. Don't think with your downstairs brain like every guy ever, focus... 

Esmeralda looked up at the muscle man. "As soon as we buy groceries! Then we will leave!"

The man huffed with a slight nod.

"I'm gonna grab my sword now..." Esmeralda grabbed her sword then walked to Yolanda, Sebastian, and Triana. "Come on. Let's go shopping then get the hell out of here."
