Chapter 18 - Chap 18 - Betrayal and Battles: Elizabeth and Emma's Fight for Adriel's Affections

Emma was extremely angry; her clothes were crumpled and dirty as if she had been in several fights. "Come on, we're going to destroy that little thing even if I have to join forces with you," Emma said harshly to Elizabeth. Her fists were clenched tightly as she spoke, her eyes flashing with anger. It was clear that something had set her off, and she was determined to take action.

Not having much else to do, Elizabeth reluctantly agreed to the alliance proposed by Emma. "I hope you know that this is only temporary until we can put a stop to Elora's advances toward Adriel," Elizabeth said, trying to sound indifferent.

Emma's eyes widened, and a sinister smile crept across her face. "Adriel is mine," she snarled, her voice dripping with possessiveness. "No one else is allowed to touch him."

Elizabeth and Emma raced down the hallway, their footsteps echoing loudly off the walls. They both had their own hidden agendas and were determined to get what they wanted from Adriel, no matter the cost.

"Ha! "I bet you didn't know that Adriel gave me a kiss last night," Emma taunted Elizabeth, a smug grin on her face. (Although it was a goodnight kiss on the forehead.)

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Please, I've been the closest to Adriel for years. I know everything about him, from his favorite food to his deepest fears."

"Ha! You wish," Emma shot back. "Adriel and I have a special connection that you could never understand. He confides in me in ways that he could never do with you.

Elizabeth's eyes narrowed, and a dangerous glint appeared in them. "Don't you dare underestimate me, Emma. Adriel and I have a bond that is unbreakable. He trusts me with his life, and I would do anything to protect him."

Emma scoffed. "Please, you're just deluding yourself. Adriel needs someone who can keep up with him, and that's clearly me. You're just holding him back."

Elizabeth's fists clenched at her sides. "How dare you say that! Adriel and I have been through everything together. We've faced countless enemies and come out on top every time. I know him better than anyone else ever could."

Emma stepped closer, a sneer on her face. "We'll see about that. Adriel will choose me in the end, and you'll be left in the dust."

Elizabeth bared her teeth, a fierce determination in her eyes. "Never. I'll always be by Adriel's side, no matter what. And if you ever try to come between us, I'll make sure you regret it."

Their eyes locked in a silent challenge, the tension between them palpable. Elizabeth and Emma were both willing to do whatever it took to win Adriel's affection.

Elizabeth and Emma sprinted towards the theater, eager to reach their destination and prove their loyalty to Adriel. However, as they approached the entrance, a towering robot appeared out of nowhere and hurled them both out of the school grounds.

"Targets found, you two crazy asses, stop," the robot sneered as if mocking their failed attempt.

Elizabeth scrambled to her feet and clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with fury. She couldn't let this setback stop her from getting to Adriel. "Get ready for battle," she snarled, her voice dripping with anger.

But before she could even take a step forward, she was kicked hard in the back by Emma, sending her sprawling onto the robot's metallic surface. Elizabeth gritted her teeth, furious at her supposed friend's betrayal.

Emma's voice taunted her from behind. "I won't forget your forced sacrifice while I save my love from that skank, Elora," she sneered.

Elizabeth had always been prepared for betrayal, and this time was no different. In a swift move, she used her magic to switch places with Emma, positioning herself as a shield against the incoming robot.

Emma wasted no time and conjured a powerful magic barrier around herself. With a flick of her wrist, she sent Elizabeth flying toward the robot, using her as a weapon to attack their common enemy. The scene was so chaotic that anyone watching would think that the two were fighting each other, using the robot as a mere pretext.

As they fought, it became clear that the battle between the two of them would only delay them from reaching their true target: the theater. They quickly put their differences aside and destroyed the robot with ease.

Rushing to the theater, Elizabeth and Emma arrived just in time to see Elora and Adriel getting dangerously close. Elizabeth's eyes blazed with jealousy, and without a second thought, she cut the power to the room, plunging it into darkness.

In the chaos, Emma ran towards Elora and Adriel, throwing herself between them and preventing any further physical contact.

Elora acted without hesitation and, as a drastic measure, threw Emma to the side without a second thought. She then moved quickly and gave Adriel a quick peck on the lips, leaving both Elizabeth and Emma fuming with anger and jealousy.

Elizabeth's yandere instincts were triggered, and she grabbed Elora by the hair, pulling her head back with force. "How dare you touch my Adriel?" she hissed through gritted teeth.

"Stop right there, you two," Seda's voice boomed, cutting off Elizabeth before she could reveal herself to Adriel.
