The Stadium (In the Process of Ending/No longer accepting)

Rutila Nixion

"Such a fool" I sigh as he comes down the stairs.

He comes down ignoring his already beat by muttering some insult at me, he draws his sword but I keep my arms folded while leaning against the door.

"You got one chance to turn back Octavious, otherwise it's a deathmatch from here on out. I shall show no mercy in killing you." I said.

He seem to unsettle himself but hardened into his battle stance once more.

"You're such a fool for trying to fight me with your wounds, last call, and then your chance is gone." I said.

Spoiler

Octavius just walked out, he didn't bring a sword or anything. I would have mentioned it. But I'll play along with it.

Octavius-

I lunge at her and she blocks. We continue attacking and parrying. I'm starting to get tired from my wounds.

Rutila thrusts, knocking the sword out of hand. I can imagine her grinning underneath her mask. I stand waiting for the death blow. Her dagger comes down towards my head, then is flying through the air.

I jerk my head up to see a tall man with curly blonde hair and perfect teeth."F-Father? What? I mean, how good to see you." I bowed.

Rutila Nixion

With the inexpected appearance of Senator Trow I had made a quick retreat knowing I wouldn't be able to kill Octavious with him around. I took a few steps back to the stairs but kept myself composed for the most part.

"Senator Trow, why am I not surprised?" I ask.

Senator Cicero Trow-

I walked in to see a girl with a mask flick away Octavius's sword. I could tell he was tired from the wounds, I saw him recieve on T.V. She swung down annd i hit the hilt of her dagger making it skitter across the room.

"F-Father? What? I mean, how good to see you." Octavius bowed. I smiled at his surprised face.

"Senator Trow, why am I not surprised?" The girl asked almost rudely. "Rutila, I believe that's your name, you shouldn't be surprised. I have come to watch my son's victory." I smiled.

Micah

Jesse leaves the room before the brawl starts and I cautiously follow, wondering what's bothering her. Once I catch up, I dare to ask her so.

Jesse

Micah follows me into my room while I started wrapping up my arm and asks me what's bothering me.

I look up at him and sigh, "What's bothering me is that your jerk over there is treating us like we're just peices of dirt. It's not right." I say, running a hand through my hair.

Micah

I sigh, looking away for a second.
"He's an ally, which means one less person trying to kill us." I explain. "I've been treated worse. I don't like how he's treating you, but like you said, he's a jerk. We just need to roll over and take it until the final round."
I hear Rutila and Octavius storm off somewhere.
"Besides, Rutila's gonna kick his ass for it anyway."

Jesse

I nod, "Fine." I say looking over at him. "I just don't want him treating you like that. Because I love you." I sighed, closing my eyes for a second.

Micah

"Y-you what?" I ask, swallowing.
My mouth goes dry and my heart stops, her words repeating over and over in my mind like some heavenly song.

Jesse

I close my eyes tighter, "I-I love you." I repeated, running a hand over my face.

Micah

I can't believe my ears, closing my eyes momentarily to compose myself. When they open again, I take her hand and set the other on the side of her face, having her look me in the eyes.
"I think I might love you too." I whisper, afraid of the outcome of those words.

Jesse

When he says that I swallow, forcing a smile. "A-Are you serious?" I asked, my heart racing.

Micah

"I-I think so." I stammer. "A-a-are you?"

Jesse

I nod, holding his hand tighter. "I am." I comfirmed.

Rutila Nixon

To watch his sons victory? I laughed slightly then folded my arms and looked away leaning off to my right.

"Your son will die come the final round, you seen him battle just now. And he's not trained enough, not healed enough, to battle someone like me. I will personally see to his death come time. For now he gets off lucky and gets away with his life by hiding behind you." I said walking back upstairs and back down the hallway to find Micah and Jesse.
