Chapter Twentyeight ~ Polar Oposites

Lust and I were trampled and pushed back as a wave of people rushed to their seats. Defeated we walked back to Lucy and the other sins.

"That was quick!" Lucy said as we walked up to her.

"We lost her. She disappeared and then the crowd swept us away." Disappointment laced my voice. We all sat down.

"Well I'm sure you'll bump until her again. The first fight is Pride and Humility... I'm actually a little worried." Lucy's has her eyes glued to the arena as Humility walked up to Pride in the center of the packed-dirt ring.

The ref watched as the two shook hands and started the match. Standing next to each other it's hard to tell them apart. They are almost identical, Humility's glasses and half-shaved hair was the only main difference I could see from this distance. Knowing these two and there history, this was going to be flashy and loud. This is a perfect fight to start the battle clash with.

Pride grew the first punch sending Humility across the arena. Not only did both of them fight bear handed, it also seemed that a screaming match stared.

I refused to read the files on them, I gave them blindly without reading them. Stupid, but I at least kinda want to respect there privacy in a sick way. All I know is there from Boston and Pride was mauled to death By dogs...

That doesn't sound fun.

I honestly zoned out after a while and a large white beach hat caught my attention. Lilith was walking to the edge of the arena and she looked around. After picking me from the crowd she gestured for me to come down to her with a finger. I grumbled but complied standing.

"Where are you going?" Lucy looked at me briefly.

"Don't worry, I'll be right back." She shook her head looking back at the fight. I stepped down to Lilith and pulled her to a place Lucy couldn't see.

"What do you need?"

"It's not what I need, it's what your going to need." She grabbed my hand and placed a cut glass crystal in it. "Azazel told me to give this to you for the Battle clash... she couldn't deliver it herself."

"And why's that?"

"She seems to be missing some pieces. Some important ones... Dont worry. She won't died. I own her so I'm taking care of her." Lilith sighed. Her large hat lowering. She wears it to hide her horns. Matches her bright sun dresses as well. I put the glass object in my pocket.

Azazel is a decent person. I hope she's okay.

"You better head back up before Lucy knows I'm here. She really doesn't like me."

"You are the reason I'm so horrible." I smiled sweetly.

"I swear," she looked up at me with a smirk, "I suppose your right. But you can't say it wasn't fun. And you turned out okay."

"Yeah, Okay is a term I might use."

"You do realize the rest of the group still does stuff together right? I'm not always stuck in this realm. I actually have to leave soon." She seemed happy about that. "Just because I'm here doesn't mean my parting days have changed."

Familiar feelings itched at my mind. "Well I'm afraid mine have... sadly."

"My offer to come back with me still stands at any time Devin. I know a Harpy of mine still misses you." She winked. "I'll see you around." Turning on her heal she left. I felt like following her but I resisted. Sighing I walked back up to the stairs leading to my seat. I made eye contact with Lust and a smile pulled at my lips. Distracted by her I didn't remember the fight until I heard Humility yell.
