[OLD; DISCONTINUED] Acts of Vengeance

Chapter Six: Love Her

3:58PM
THE REGION OF FANTASY
BEYONCÉ, ONIKA, AND CARDI

The Guardian of the Region of Hostile always knew how to make a grand entrance. Blowing off fake smoke from her gun, she stepped over the man she had laid two bullets into.

Beyoncé and Onika looked at her with shock.

"Those guys, are everywhere." Cardi pointed behind her, and then made a circle with her fingers.

"I have no idea where they came from, or why they're attacking all of us but they're doing it well because from my pendant flashing like crazy, she's not the only one that's hurt." She spoke making a motion to Onika.

Snapping from their gazes, Beyonce' put Onika down on the floor gently.

"You're right. Both of our pendants were flashing before Nika got hurt." Beyoncé said, moving a strand of red hair from Onika's face.

"Hm, you love her." Cardi spoke nonchalantly, bending down to examine the arrow stuck in her abdomen.

Onika's hooded eyes fought to open wider to match her expression of shock, but failed as she had lost too much blood.

Beyoncé however, did not fail as she doubled over taken aback.

"W-what?" Beyoncé exclaimed in shock.

Cardi looked at her and laughed.

"C'mon girl cut the act! Don't nobody look at someone like that and move their hair away from their face without feeling something for them!" Cardi spoke sarcastically. She ripped a strip of fabric from a nearby cloth.

It was silent for a moment, looking down at Onika, they both saw that she had now passed out.

"I don't know what you're talking about Belcalis. I care for her just like I care for all of you." Beyoncé spoke sternly.

Cardi looked at her, and then rolled her eyes, gently taking out the arrow from her abdomen.

Onika moved a little, but then settled down. Beyoncé felt a pang of hurt for her. Cardi looked over at Beyoncé again, taking note of how Beyoncé twitched at the same time Onika did.

Cardi rolled her eyes again, now taking the stripe of fabric she ripped earlier and soaking it in some substance she pulled from her hidden pockets on the side of her dress.

"First of all, call me Cardi. Second of all, ya welcome girl I just saved your life. Third of all..." she said fast, trailing off and looking over at Beyoncé again.

She finished wrapping the soaked fabric around Onika's wound.

"...all I'm saying is you don't find love like that every year. Damn girl, make the best of it." She said, getting up from her bent over position.

Beyoncé looked up at her, and then back down at Onika.

It was true, Cardi was obnoxious and had no filter when it came to anything. She wasn't good at explaining things, or being mushy. Honestly, she wasn't good with words. Yet, she did have her own way with words.

"That fabric is soaked with the healing potion, I got it from Kelly awhile back, don't ask why. She should be okay in a few. You're welcome again." Cardi spoke, looking out at the world from the balcony.

Not even turning to Beyoncé, she spoke again before she could say anything:

"You should put her on your bed or something. Ya probably don't feel comfortable leaving her alone, but she's grown with badass powers. Trust, she can handle her own. We need to go help the others."
