Forbidden Love [Jiaqi x Xueer]

33

"Can we run through this entire plan again? I'm already confused." Keyin's forehead creased as she stared at the other three nervously. Jiaqi and Keran were ready to explain the whole thing again when Yuyan interrupted, "Basically, the four of us are going to be in the spectator stand along with the others. This allows us to camouflage more. I'll dye Jiaqi's hair colour later so she'll be harder to recognise if anything goes wrong since she's still the last descendant of the royal blood."

She paused and waited for Keyin to respond before continuing, "The king and queen already know so they'll be sending other vampires to ambush the government later when they attack. They might also be among the spectators so be aware of your surroundings. If anything, they'll be cautious when attacking us because they wouldn't want their precious citizens to be hurt would they?"

Nodding her head, Keran then added on, "We'll meet up in the practice grounds tomorrow at 6 in the morning. Rest well today, we can't afford to lose this."

Though Jiaqi had a serious expression on her face, except her heart was getting eaten with guilt. She has not told Xueer about what would happen tomorrow. Heck, both Yuyan her have not even told Xiaotang and Keni that they won't be showing up. The burden to fight without worrying about all these little things was heavy on their shoulders.

The next morning soon reached. Jiaqi had her hair dyed a colour of blonde instead of coal black. Wrapping her hands with a layer of bandage, Jiaqi bit down her lip, anxiety not getting off her chest any time soon. Noticing her extremely quiet state, Yuyan nudged her in the ribs with a little smile, "Hey, Xueer will understand. Just do your best...if anything happens I'll be right by your side, ready to save your ass."

Returning the smile, Jiaqi shot Yuyan a weak grin, "Thanks Yan."

The others were warming themselves up as Jiaqi stood by the side exhaling and inhaling deeply before jogging around the practice grounds of their headquarters. Slowly, she started moving at the speed of wind, and finally the fastest, sound. She had a ball of flame in her heart, igniting her passion for fighting even more. She had to fight well, to protect Xueer and her nation.

Before they even noticed, it was time to head to the tournament grounds. This was it. With their ninja like masks tightly wrapped around their faces, they had made their way to the back row of the arena. With their vision as sharp as a hawk's scanning the entire arena, the four avoided all contact with humans. They just seemed like e-girls to most spectators they had walked past. None thought much about it.

Just then, Jiaqi's eyes landed on a Xueer who was worryingly speaking on the phone who was most probably one of their teammates. She couldn't help but to feel the fading guilt come back almost instantly. Yuyan was feeling the exact same too. "Both of you have to concentrate and cheer up. We'll be dealing with those fuckers at any time soon, there's no time to get distracted by your loved ones. I know it's hard but this is serious. It's either we die or get captured. Or we win this."

It was the first time Keyin was so seriously speaking to them. Even Keran was taken aback. In that moment, in the corner of Keran's eyes, a suspicious buff man with sunglasses was walking towards the front row of their category. She knew he had to be one of the government's as her eyes caught a gun hidden in his back pocket.

"Alright. Spotted one, down right with sunglasses. Gun in back pocket."

The other three immediately got on full alert mode, their 5 senses as sensitive as ever. "Be careful of the syringes with blue liquids in them too. Don't stab them, it wouldn't kill them. Just empty the syringe and discard it when you get hold of them." Yuyan warned before getting up along with the rest.

"Good point." When the four were about to head into positions, more of the agents under were spotted with obvious guns in their pockets. That was when Jiaqi sensed that something was not right.

"Wait. We wait for them to attack us. Majority of them are clustered in the category opposite ours, making it advantageous for them. It will be dangerous if we head out now. The government probably know that we would be among the spectators. It's about time they find us."

Siting back down as the whistle blew, Jiaqi and Yuyan tried not getting distracted with the game. Xiaotang seemed pissed off while Keni seemed worried. The others seemed just about as worried as Keni. All of them knew how Yuyan and Jiaqi never misses practice, left alone a match.

During the 3rd timeout, the lights of the arena suddenly went out as a frightening sharp sound of siren echoed through the arena. Everyone started panicking, scurrying around like mice. That was when the four geared themselves mentally and activated their night vision skill.

This was where it begins.

With the lights suddenly switched back on, they wasted no time and went straight into action. Jiaqi sprinted towards the row of agents in the front. As the clock ticked, the entire row was slit right on the neck. With Jiaqi smirking through her mask while holding onto the bloody dagger. Blood splattered everywhere as everyone screamed and yelled with fear and panic lacing their voices. It might have seemed like a minute for Jiaqi but to humans, it was less than a blink of an eye.

Keran and Keyin on the other hand had used their skill acquired abroad which allowed them to manipulate the atmosphere, creating fogs, harsh blizzards and winds and even tornados. They fogged the entire category, making it extremely hard for the agents to see through it. With a few slashes of their shining dagger, a half of them fell to the ground like ragdolls. Leaving fresh red blood staining the place.

Yuyan had two daggers in her hand as she went at their targets' necks. She was in straight combat with the agents. Whenever one would come charging at her, she would send them flying across the arena with just a kick.

The four were travelling at the speed of sound, a speed that no humans could catch up with. One could not even see them move. They were like an invisible force, forcing their way through the crowd which seemed like a gust of wind.

Though they had just killed at least a 80 of them, more came in with huge metal tanks smashing through the walls of the arenas and helicopters hovering outside. They came in with armour and much larger weapons, it seemed like the whole military was here. Form the looks of it, there looked like there were at least a thousand, excluding the ones outside the arena waiting with huge guns.

All the citizens had evacuated the arena, leaving only the four vampires and the thousands of military men and women. Jiaqi couldn't help but wonder if Xueer had managed to escape this blood-washed place safely along with the others. However, she immediately snapped out of her thoughts when she a bullet was fired straight at her which Yuyan had fortunately cut into half before hitting Jiaqi.

"Concentrate you bitch." Hissing at the latter, Yuyan immediately took off and started fighting the others who were already charging towards them.

This time, a simple slit of a dagger wouldn't do much but merely scratch their skin with those iron thick armour covering every inch of their bodies. They had to retreat first and think of a new plan, fast.
