Chapter 25 - Temptation

Leon rubbed his eyes as he awoken from his slumber. He removed the covers beneath him and headed towards the washroom. He turned on the water and rubbed his eyes with water. As he rubbed his face with a clean towel he stared at the mirror and he remembered the evening before with Mio. He touched his cheek where he slapped her. He vividly remembered her angry expression as he was retaliating all his advances.

'What an interesting woman.' Leon thought.

As he was putting on his clothes a half naked Maria was sleeping beside him. She had woken up and hugged him from behind.

She whispered in his ear, "Last night was fun.." Her voice was still groggy from the morning.

"I'll see you later today. I'll leave a bit earlier." Leon got up and left her bedroom and went on his way.

At the university Leon was consciously looking out for Mio. As he was passing through campus all he could see was her face. As he was walking to his next class he saw his group of friends just standing in front of the lecture hall waiting to be let in.

"Hey buddy, did you sleep well last night?" One of his friends wrapped his arms around his neck and started nudging his stomach.

"Yeah, why do you ask?" Leon feigned ignorance.

"Ah, I see how it is. Every time I ask you something you never tell me anything." He let go of Leon and put his arm around his face to cover his tears. "I thought we were homies."

"Well...anyways, where is Maria?" One of the girls in Leon's group was searching for her in the crowd of students waiting to be let in.

"She said she'll be here. She's running a little late."

"Okay. Whatever happen to that Mio girl at the party? I wanted to talk with her more."

"She said she had to leave. She thought the party was a lasted later than she would've liked." Leon lied through his teeth.

The girl ate up the lie like it was nothing. "That makes sense. We don't know where she lives so getting her home might be a little iffy."

The professor made his way towards the crowd of students eagerly waiting to get into the lecture hall. He pulled out his keys and unlocked the door. The crowd of students quickly hurried inside the lecture hall to find seats for their friends to sit in.

Leon and his group of friends went inside the lecture hall. Leon was constantly looking back for Mio. It continued later on while his friends were in their usual seats.

'Why can't I stop thinking of her? Why do I think she's so special?' Leon couldn't figure out his obsession.

About 20 minutes into the lecture Maria came walking into the lecture hall. Coincidentally Mio was there behind her. Leon was caught staring at Mio but, Maria thought he was staring at her.

She took an empty seat next to Leon and whispered to him. "Stop checking me out. I don't want to feel embarrassed."

Leon was confused but he played along knowing that she was mistaken by who caught his eye in the first place. "It's just that you were breathtaking. Oof" She then proceeded to slap his arm a couple of times.

In the middle of the night at Club 56 in the eastern part of town clubgoers were out and about dancing and having the time of their lives. In a booth in the upper level of the club Myra was sitting by herself drinking a cocktail. Every little while someone would bother her so she would quickly shoo them away.

'This bloodlust of mine…' Myra pondered as she placed the glass to her lips.

'My entertainment should not be interrupted tonight.' She downed the cocktail with a gulp and placed the glass on the table.

'This pain means nothing if I can have what I want.' She placed her hand on her chest where the seal is. She winced in pain as she thought of the time the mark was placed on her.

'I'll only need just a drop of power..'

She was looking around and she gasped in excitement.

'Perfect…'

She saw her target walking by himself but, she quickly noticed that the man wasn't alone. The man walked up towards the bar where his friends were gathered. She gave it a moment before she walked up towards the second floor. She sat in front of the bar and ordered a drink to not draw attention to herself as she stalked her prey.

The man was at the portion of the bar where there was standing tables. He was with two other men of what seems to be his friends. Myra listened to their conversation as she quietly sipped her drink.

"So I was telling Jim, 'Dude you cannot fit all of that in your mouth.'" A short-haired man said.

"So what did he do?" A long-haired man was curious.

"He fuckin did it. He swallowed it. He was a glizzy champion. Man swallowed a whole glizzy like it was nothing."

"Fuckin ayyy baud. What a legend." The long-haired man was impressed.

"Damn right. Jim fucked that shit up."

Myra finished the rest of her drink. She knew it was time to strike. Myra got up and got a fair distance away from the man. She was fortunate that the club was crowded so she could cover her advances with incoming people. Myra followed the flow of the group of people and got closer to her target. When she was close enough to the man's table she bumped into him.

"e n t r a n c e..."

The man jerked forward almost spilling his drink.

"Dude, you okay? People in this place are scumbags." The short-haired man was concerned for his friend.

"Yeah. We got to find out who did that and show them that they shouldn't mess with the boyz." The long-haired man rolled up his sleeves.

"It is alright. Let me go to the washroom I got some of my drink on my shirt." The man walked away.

As the man was walking towards the restroom he started to feel light-headed. 'What's...happening to me....' His pupils became dilated and his vision became blurry. 'Who....is that woman...'

The mans saw Myra standing near the entrance of the washroom. "You poor thing let me help you." She helped him inside the men's restroom. The man held onto Myra, "She's so pretty..."

Inside, she was lucky to find that no one was inside. The door to the restroom had no lock so she had to make it quick. She helped the man into the stall and sat him down onto the toilet seat. Myra licked her lips. "Its time to feast."

She proceeded to devour the man plunging her arm into his stomach while the man's muffled screams were covered by Myra's hand. The man started to lose consciousness as the blood from his stomach began to spill onto the bathroom floor. Myra removed her hand from the man's mouth and the man started to mumble words as he took his final breath.

"My life.....is.....yours..." The man closed his eyes and Myra placed her ear towards him while she kept him up.

"to devour...." The man slumped back into the wall and laid there as blood dripped down to the floor filling the stall.

Myra licked the blood off her other hand that she used to pierce the man's stomach. She feasted on the man. Fueled by ecstasy she enjoy every last drop that the man had offered. She couldn't help but enjoy herself. As she was finished with the man's corpse she quickly cleaned up her face and hands and left the restroom. As she was leaving the restroom a woman bumped into her.

"Oof" Myra dropped her small handbag that she was carrying around her shoulder.

A bunch of items fell out of her bag.

"Sorry about that. I should really watch where I'm going." The woman proceeded to bend down and pick up its contents with Myra.

While Myra was trying to find her possessions that fell on the floor she noticed that her bag was opened.

'That's strange.' Myra paid no mind.

The woman passed her lipstick and other contents that she managed to find and handed it to her.

"I'm really sorry about that." The woman said with a smile.

Myra's eyes went wide, noticing who the woman was.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Myra said furiously.

The woman was clad in a black leather jacket. "I was told to watch the beast. Let's take this outside."

The two women proceeded to walk out of the club. The woman in the black leather jacket was in front leading them out so Myra found an opportune time to run while her back was turned. Myra was zooming through the streets trying to lose the woman's trail but no surprise that she was keeping up with her. Myra avoided the main streets and ran through alleyways knocking down trash cans and throwing garbage at the other woman to stop her in her path.

'Thank god, I didn't wear heels for this.' Myra thought as she climbed up a steel fence at a midway point in the alleyway.

The woman was resilient she didn't even climb the steel fence but ran up the wall to avoid it all together. At the end of the alleyway there hill beside the main road. Luckily it was the middle of the night so there were barely any cars so, the woman ran across the street with ease. Myra was unfamiliar with this part of the city so she skidded down the hill avoiding any trees along the way.

At the bottom of the hill there was clearing with a park and a residential area.

'Shit.' Myra looked left and right and she figured she had no where to run.

"Haaaah. Sebby was right you really can't keep your hands to yourself." The woman in black leather jacket came closer to her.

"Rae! You fucking lapdog!" Myra was fed up with Sebastian's antics.

"Why are you angrwy? You're just a horny little biitch!" Rae said as she inched closer towards Myra.

Myra's fist were clenched. A mild burst of pressure pushed Rae back.

"Impressive, the limiter is still hindering your full strength." Rae took a fighting stance. She waved at Myra to come closer.

"Bring it biitch!"

Myra ran at Rae at full speed. As soon as Myra got close she used her momentum to land a punch. Rae blocked the punch but it pushed her towards the slope of the hill. She shook her arm to mitigate the pain.

"I'm assuming it would've hurt more if that thing on your chest wasn't there."

Myra didn't pay attention to her words. She unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks onto Rae. Rae was blocking and dodging the punches. After Myra started to show signs of fatigue from the limiter Rae punched her in her chest.

'Oof' Myra had the wind taken from her as she landed on the ground.

Gasping for breath she tried getting up but Rae pulled her hair and brought Myra's face towards hers.

"I'm only going to tell you this once."

Myra was wincing in pain she felt she couldn't do a thing.

"Stay. In. Your. Place."

She let go of her hair and backed off. Rae was starting to walk away until she felt enormous pressure.

"P I E R C E!!"

Myra lunged forward with immense speed at Rae.

"You still have energy? The more power you try to exert the more the seal will punish you."

Rae was narrowly able to escape that attack. Myra ended up making a hole into the side of the hill.

"Tell Sebastian to fuck off…I can fulfil my mission my own way." She pulled her hand out and faced the black leather jacket woman.

Rae stared at Myra. "You chose this life. We support His cause. We are supposed to do what we are told. Be grateful of that power bestowed up you."

"Maybe we just see things differently…"

Rae scoffed at her as she disappeared into the night leaving Myra by herself roughed up and her arm covered in dirt. Myra proceeded to pat herself of the dust from the impact of that strike.

'Rae almost pisses me off more so than that rat, Sebastian.' Myra pondered as she stared at the light of the moon.

In an apartment complex balcony Rae in pajama pants and a t-shirt looks at the lights of the city. Her phone suddenly rings in her pajama pants.

"Yahallo" Rae answers immediately.

"Did you do what I told you to do?"

"Of course. She'll be in more hot water than she already is."

"Good work." Sebastian immediately hangs up.

Sitting on her chair in her bedroom a large hole can be seen in right shoulder of black leather jacket.

'Damn that bitch hits hard.'
