Shea woke up hearing loud noises and cheers from downstairs. She lazily rubbed her eyes and looked at the wall clock to see it was already half past ten. Her wounds have healed from the last night's fight and that was a relief. She dragged herself from her soft comfortable bed and walked to the mirror. She stood there staring at her soul and thats when she realized, she have more to find about Brian.
Her eyes automatically changed its colour at the mere thought of Tan being hurt by Brian. She eyed to the left corner of the room and saw the dress laying on the chair. She picked it up and hugged it close while her teeth protruded to fangs. How did Brian get this dress? Is it the same as the dress Tan gave her or is that just a similar dress which happened to be here due to co incidence? Shea walked to the bathroom and locked herself inside.

The luxury cars parked outside the stadium, were covered by people and body guards. The whole area looked like a mafia kingdom as all the guards were occupied with gun and walkie talkies. The huge stadium started to get filled by people of all age groups and the security alarm was ringing every time some one tried to cross the restricted areas where the players were seated. The final round of basketball match between the Q CLUB and FIRE BALLS. The excitement build in the arena was beyond imagination.
"Is he ready?"
"He is in the locker room."
"Have he practiced well? We havent seen him in the club since some time." the person questioned the team members.
"Yes manager. He have practiced well as he appointed a coach all to himself. I am sure, he will be doing his best as always." the player answered.
"This is the final match and we have been banging the cup since the last three years since he joined. We need to maintain the streak so all the very best." the manager said to the team and left.
The team started warming up for the game which was about to start in the next one hour. They havent met their captain yet and they were confused about the strategies and positions as it was always the captain who decides it at the end. The door opened with a loud thud and all the players flinched at the sudden invasion and their captain stood there occupied with some body guards as usual.
"You guys can leave. I need some alone time with the team." a deep raspy voice spoke making the guards to leave the room.
"Good morning Captain." the whole team bowed to the man.
"Good morning guys..." he replied the wish and removed the cap which had the letter Q printed on it.
He didnt remove the mask he was wearing till then and that made the players frown.
"Do you want me to remove the mask?" the captain asked understanding the meaning of their doubtful stares.
"It will be more comfortable captain." the player with number 4 on his jersey spoke with much struggle and head hung low.
"Oh, cool." The man removed his mask in one go and swiftly threw it on the bench next to him.
His sharp wolf eyes which was hazel coloured stared into their soul and for a couple of seconds, the players went into a magical world. It wasnt something new for them as Qihe always make them hallucinate just with his eyes. The weapon which he uses against his rivals and the main reason why they always win the competition is his bold stare and quick reflexes.
"I know you all are confused as I couldnt practice much with you all." Qihe started.
"We have prepared our best but guidance from you always have helped us so we expect it even now."
"Sure, just pass me the ball." he said rolling up his sleeves.
He soon got the ball which he bounced while walking to the court which his team have prepared inside for practice while the players followed him. Qihe arranged the players in their positions and explained the strategies to them while the players quickly grasped. It was usual for them to get the information at the last minute and Qihe being the formal player will always have his mind sorted.
"See this game is very important for our pride. We cant lose at any cost because that is the word I hate the most."
"Yes captain." They cheered.
"Ji-ho, you have to stand in the front line no matter whatever distraction comes. They know you are one of the strong players so they will definitely try their best to turn your attention. Stick to the front line no matter how ever the ball goes."
"Yes captain." Ji-ho replied.
"Son-woo, make sure you pass the ball to the centre player. The players at the border will defend the ball if it goes that side so dont throw to them purposefully." Qihe kept giving strategies as if he have fore seen the entire match even before it even started.
They even played a few trials and the players got used to the style Qihe taught them in a short span. They exited the court to the match ground with much more confidence and the pledge to win the match no matter what. The guards guided them to the arena covering the players while the cheers doubled.
QIHEE!! QIHHEEE!! QQIIHHEEE!!! CAPTAIN! QIHEE!!!
The majority of the stadium was cheering on him and that made him smile. He looked up at the audience and waved his hands which made the cheer more louder. He kept walking while flying kisses and showing sweet gestures to his fans. The other players had the permission to give hands to the audience seated in the VIP section while Qihe wasnt permitted to do so.
The judges and referees soon took their seat and the sponsors also gathered. The match was soon about to start and the players came standing in middle of the court facing each other.
