Her hand trembled as the gun fell from her hold, her eyes glossed by unshed tears. She let out a muffled cry as the body in front of her slumped to the cold hard concrete ground of the dark alleyway.
His head whipped around instantly to her, with smooth glides, he stepped over the lifeless body and stood in front of her. He gently caressed her cheeks with the palm of his hands. She was openly sobbing, tears rolled down her face.
“Why?” He tilted his head to the side. “Hm, why did you do that?”
She stared up at him, biting her lips, “I-I-I don-” She looked beyond his shoulder to the body, another broken sob trembled out of her. “I don- don’t know.”
He shook his head in disbelief, tutting slightly, “I think you know. Tell me Sophia. Why?”
“T-to pro- to protect you.”
“Why?” The hold on Sophia’s face tightened, his palm dug into her ample cheeks as his fingers embedded themselves to her temples. “Why?”
His eyes darkened, the colour drained from her face. His hold was like a vice, getting tighter with every ‘why’ he asked her. Her vision blurred as red spots began to appear, tears turned to blood. His tone became sinister, his smirk could rival Lucifer.
“Why!”
Squelch.
“Was that necessary?” It came from behind him, his head bent backwards. Insanity in his cruel smirk.
“Nope.” He popped the ‘p’ with a cackle, “I just wanted to play.”
He flung the body to the side and watched it slump to the ground. He glided back to the body of the pale blonde and kicked it a few feet away from him. “Oi Yura. Get up!”
Yura was instantly on her feet, she cracked her neck before charging towards him with the intent of knocking him out. He shifted, with his signature smirk in place, to the side causing her to collide with the remains of Sophia, all the while tousling his white hair.
“You promised that I could kill her Takashi.” She played with an eyeball before looking at him, “I had so many ideas.” She shrugged, as if to say ‘oh well’ before squashing the eye rolling between her fingers.
“Stop messing around.” It was the voice from before. On the roof of one of the buildings that was facing the dark alleyway, sat a little girl. Her face sweet, but voice chilly. Her red eyes shone as she spoke. “We have to report back to Her.”
“You’re no fun Lucy.” The complaint came from Yura. She picked up the other eyeball and ate it, she picked up one of Sophia’s arms and ripped it out of the socket. Yura bit harshly into the skin, chewing heavily as if it were her first meal in weeks.
Yura finished gorging on the arm, stood up and made her way to Takashi. “Just so you know,” she jabbed in the shoulder, “your next kill is mine.” The moonlight bounced perfectly off her canine that she proudly showed with blood coating it.
Takashi rolled his eyes before shooting off towards the moon, making his way to the meeting point. Lucy followed him. Yura huffed childishly before departing as well.
The room was dark, and no sound could be heard. All that could be seen was a pair of red eyes glowing.
The trio instantly dropped onto their knees as soon as She snapped her fingers. The curtains flew open and moonlight poured into the room.
“Where is she?”
The trio tensed up immediately, jaws clenched but they force themselves to relax just as fast- however this does not go unnoticed- “who?”
She scoffed as she pulled herself up from her throne, casted in shadows.; the clicks of her heel bounced off the walls. She fully emerged from the shadows, her glistening purple hair reflected off the moonlight. The smirk on her face morphs into a scorn, almost animalistic. It sent shivers down the trio’s back.
“Who? You are asking me who?” She stopped right before the three, “I give you a simple task. Didn’t I? All you had to do was deliver her to me.”
She walked around slowly, like a lion stalking their prey, “wasn’t that simple enough for you incompetent fools!”
“Ma’am, it was an unfortunate accident.” Lucy spoke without fear in her voice albeit her hand trembled in fear.
“Explain it to me, how unfortunate was it that you idiots could not complete a simple task?” Ice dripped from her words, sending a chilling shiver around the room. The three almost choked on it, they were losing their breath with each tremble.
“I killed her ma’am, I had to. She saw me.” Yura dropped to her elbows, her head low.
“You did what?”
“Killed her ma’am.”
She stalked over to Yura, her purple hair wild, unleashed with fury. The veins in her neck palpitating with each step.
“Who authorised you to make such a decision? Because it was not me.” She grabbed Yura by the neck and yacked her across the room. The heavy smack of a body hitting the wall vibrated around the room.
“Do you have any idea of what you’ve just done? Sophia was our way of making the humans grovel under us.”
“I’m sorry ma’am. I didn’t know that she was that important.” Yura’s voice was barely above that of a mouse.
“Do you know you just killed? The key to keep the putrid race of humans beneath us.” She bent down in front of Yura, her nails extracted as if it were a lion’s claw. Her sinister smirk returned as she jabbed her nails into Yura’s chest. “Beg.”
“Please ma’am. No ma’am. I’m sorry.” Yura shook her head as droplets of tears fell down her face like a tap that hasn’t been fully closed.
“Good.” She ripped her heart out and squashed it in her palm. She stood back up and threw the remainder of Yura’s heart in front of the other two.
“Get rid of her and retrieve Sophia body. Now!”
The two scrambled up, Lucy immediately going to pick up Yura’s bleeding body as Takashi went for the heart. The both bowed their heads before scuffling out the door.
“Now that was a bit dramatic. Wasn’t it Ji Woo?” Mischief was clear in his voice.
“It was absolutely necessary Daichi, those bumbling idiots ruin everything.” Ji Woo stalked back to her throne and draped down, her legs dangling from the arm rest as she placed her elbow on the other.
“It’s not completely ruined. We’ll just need to change our strategy.”
“And what do you plan on doing?” Ji Woo inserted her nails before licking the blood clean from her hands.
“Paint the streets of Japan red.” Daichi came out of the shadows, the corners of his lips pulled up to an almost smile as he kneeled in front of Ji Woo. “With your permission of course.”
“It better be a true work of art.”
“Oh, believe me, it will be.”
So good
