Chapter 21



"Welcome," Shang Tsung announced proudly. "To bring honour to the emperor and his beloved Queen on their anniversary. As usual, we don't hold the soiree like any other party because for our emperor, Kombat is needed to satisfy both his and the queen's needs. For now, enjoy yourselves and be prepared to prove your worth here!"


Great....like that's reassuring!

Jade was still glaring daggers at the short hair woman in yellow. What's so special about this lady anyway? But her white pupilesss eyes were slanted like a cat's mostly scanning the area. Hard to say, she's kinda a looker. So I either fight to satisfy Shao Kahn's ego or to dance and have a good time.

At this rate, I might as well do both. I wonder if my friends are here too...

Making my way to the refreshments, I spotted Riana helping herself to what looked like a potato salad. She was eating with the bits spilling out of her mouth. Kurt was watching everything on her shoulder. I can't help but observe the people in the room, eyes gazing at her. I have the sudden need to protect my sister's dignity. Just I was about to, a voice caught my attention.

"Nash!" a loud feminine voice called. I turned my head and found Kristina walking towards me. Unlike Riana or the ladies in the party, Kristina was wearing a long sleeved top that had lilac and white stripes. Her black skinny jeans and shoes were a matching set. But I noticed a belt with two holsters in place. I could almost say that Kristina looked like a mafia. Only left is a cigar in her mouth and a black jacket with a red rose.

"Not wearing a dress?" I asked out of curiosity.

"Put me in a dress," she threatened by grabbing me by the shirt collar. "I'll cut your dick off."

Oh yeah, I remember how Kristina hates dresses. She almost tore down the boutique one time because her mother made her wear a dress for her aunt's wedding. It was quite a sight to see.

"So," I regained my composure. "You're using guns as weapons?"

Kristina smirked before nodding. "Yeah. Nothing like a good gun to make the fight easier. Wasn't easy finding one as apparently Shang Tsung is making deals with the Black Dragons. That's where the guns came from. Found the right ones for me so took the opportunity."

She proved this to me by whipping out both guns and pointed at me. I raised both arms in defence. Kristina chuckled before placing both guns in her holsters. She decided to talk to Riana.

That's when I decided to walk around. Man, it's a beautiful night even if this event is going to end with blood and organs. Before I could step outside, a delicate hand grabbed me into a secluded area.

It was dark and almost claustrophobic. I wanted to speak but the hand covered my mouth, a shush was heard. Who dragged me here? Why did I let this person dragged me here?!

"So this is my daughter's disciple," a regal, woman's voice murmured through the darkness. I know who that is! It's Queen Sindel. Oh god, why is she here with me?!

"Your Grace!" I managed to find my voice. "What are you doing?"

"I just want to talk a good look at my daughter's disciple," she answered. "And Jade's lover." Oh shit....she fucking knew?! Who told her?!?!

"I-I-"

"Do not fear, my boy," she reassured me. "I'm not angry with you. In fact, I am glad knowing that Jade has chosen someone to be with her. I heard through my daughter. You have an interesting aura, Nash. Tell me, how good are you?"

I blinked in confusion before it dawned on me. "You mean-"

"Of course, my dear," the queen nodded. "Jade is my daughter's best friend growing up so she too is like a daughter to me. I've heard about you and your time with the both go them."

"But," I told her. "Kitana is just my mentor. And yes, I care about Jade. She's skilful, beautiful, even helped me and my sister when we were in a sticky situation."
