Julian drops his M9 on the ground, his eyes glistening with anger.
Suddenly, I notice a flicker on his wrist, a metal shine. I look at his hands, and there is a brass knuckle on his hand.
"You didn't hurt anyone with that gun, did ya except Wist?" I ask, knowing his answer.
"Nah. I just wanted to see you suffer." He replies, eager to get this conversation over with.
"Knew it." I raise my fists in Julian's direction, battle ready.
Julian dashes at me, in just a millisecond I feel the pain of a gut punch soaring through my body, sending me staggering to the ground.
I drop down to one knee. "Whoa..."
Julian remarks," You know me. Can't fight up close can--".
I do a sweep kick aiming at his feet. It hits! Julian, unaware of the kick gets flung off the ground crashing down flat on his face.
"I can. Ain't that useless after all."
Julian exclaims," Ah. Worst detective my ass!"
I continue," Julian, although I do want to kill you right now, just give me the documents now and I will go lightly, I swear."
Julian laughs, amused by my statement," Oh you...".
And before I know it, his hand grabs my throat. Squeezing it inch by inch.
"Who goes lightly on who, Traitor. Our skills are not even close. You, Bruster are TRASH! You were never better than me! Even then!"
Something snaps inside me.
Fury, Sadness, Madness.
I feel them all.
I want to use them.
To hurt.
I kick Julian on his shins. Making him lose his grip on me. I escape from his arms.
Angered by my reaction, Julian aims to uppercut. I quickly tilt my head dodging his punch.
I rebound it back to him. It hits him smack on the face. I knee him on his chest. He staggers back. He rises up, his upper lip swollen from the punch. I feel my face. A large gash covers my right cheek.
Julian uses this opportunity to rush towards me, his punch ready to hit me.
Instead of dodging, I ready my fist. Our fists connect to our faces. The force pushes us back.
I shout, feeling my sanity slip due to the fight ever so slightly. My body wants to stop but my mind doesn't.
It wants more. It craves more.
And I will provide.
I grab Julian's shoulders, hurling him up and throw him smack on the ground.
Julian lies on the ground, his eyes staring at me. Filled with anger.
But then he sees something in me. It changes him. His eyes show fear. He is afraid.
And I like it.
"The-- Second-- Side..." He murmurs. I know what he talks about.
I raise my punch, ready to knock the lights out of Julian.
"Get rea--"
Hkkk..!! My body goes numb. "Elec-- tricity".
As I fall down, I notice Julian's fearful self hurting in the electricity.
I fall down flat on the ground, shaking in pain. My mind feels sleepy. A weird reaction to pain.
As I close my eyes tho, I see the culprit who shocked us.
Emilia....
She looks at me...
She is baffled, her eyes reflecting her feeling of fear.
I only hear one sentence coming out of her mouth, describing all her emotions.
"What the f---"
