The white uniform was even sexier on her, the skirt barely covereing her ass. My mind went back to the sex in the carraige, a chill runnning up my spine. She stood in the arena, trembling next to the six foot and up final years at our school.  Marissa slid next to me, her arms wrapping around mine.  Shoving her off of me, she shot me a death glare.  A sly grin curled on her lips, bitchiness oozing from her perfect pores.  

“Back off, you stupid bitch.” I warned bitterly, still pissed at her for earlier. “You ought to be dead right now, and she spared your dumb ass.  So riddle me this, why?  Just why?”  Rolling her eyes, she flipped her hair over her shoulder.  My eyes falling back on Alice, her next words chilled me to the bone. 

“My new boyfriend Erant, you know the demon emperor, said that you were a fool for refusing me.” She bragged jovially, her pleasant attitude ticking me off. “I plan on making your lives hell until she is dead.  You told me no, and she stole my rightful place.  The knives will keep coming, and the blood will spill if you keep going down the path you guys are running down.  Consider yourself warned.”  She sauntered away, her blonde ponytail bouncing. A sense of danger and urgency turned my head back towards Alice.

“Leave me alone!” She screamed, the other competitors shoving her to the ground. The tallest one in the black armor stomping  on her back, her fingers wrapping around her ankle.  In a swift motion, she tossed him to the ground.  The other men launched themselves at her, pulling on her horns.  Wanting to leap down to help her, my friends held me back.  

“Get out of the arena, little girl.” The hero in black armor teased cruelly, her fingers wrapping around the glass hilt.  The men cried out, her elbow slamming into all of their groins.  Leaping to her feet, she ripped out her blade.  

“You must just be afraid that a girl is going to kick your ass.  Also I have wanted to do this for years, but I could never pass through the entrance.” She retorted sarcastically, the men rolling around on the ground. “I can make it so you will never continue your stupid family blood lines.”  Sticking out her tongue, the whistle blew his golden whistle.  Everyone stepped in line, a crazed smile dancing across her face.  The referee glared at the men, all of them shrinking back.  She stood tall, a look of pain on her face.  Blood was dripping down her side, a miniature dagger stuck in it.  Damn they were already cheating.  Smiling weakly, she waved up at me.  Counting the amount of people there, only twenty were strong enough this year.  A magical screen popped up in the air, her school picture from last year and the red-headed son of the Halvelle’s family.  Leaping into the air, she spun her sword around over her head.  White flames devoured the blade, his red blade blocking her first attack.  Cocking her head to the left, the snakes on his handles shot towards her, the fangs nearly getting her.  Her boot smacked his blade out of his hands, the blade landing well behind her.  Over and over again her foot smashed into his chest, the crowd booing her.  Charging at her, she grabbed ahold of his arm.  Slamming her foot into his elbow, the crack of his arm breaking stunned everyone.  His bone stuck out of his arm, sliding her blade back into her hilt.  Teeth tumbled to the ground, his jaw breaking as she punched him in the jaw a couple of times.  Dirt flew up, his body crashing onto the ground.  Waving his white flag, the referee announced her as the winner.  Everyone groaned in disapproval, the next few  matches dragged until it was her and the Black Knight. 

“Black Knight, Black Knight!” Everyone cheered around me, my friends and I looking glumly at the height difference between the two.  His large black blade resting on his shoulders, her blade resting on hers.  She only fought the one round, something feeling off about the situation.  The Black Knight took off his helmet, her blade dropping to the ground.  A male version of her towered a good foot over her, his horns curling over his red slicked back hair.  His red and black mismatched eyes glittered with excitement, his black lips curling into a sneer.  

“Hello, Erant.” She growled through gritted teeth, the dagger in her side glowing green. “I suggest you leave before you pay the consequences.”  Thunderous laughter rumbled from his throat, his fangs growing twice as long.  Dark clouds darkened the sky, her feet turning to run.  She wasn’t strong enough to beat him, and she knew it.  The entrance to the arena tossed her back into the center, dirt clouding everyone’s vision.  My heart sank into my stomach, her form looking tiny in his giant hands.  Wriggling around, she fished around in her boots.  Pulling out her staff, a black force field kept anyone from getting to her.  Biting down on his hand, he hollered in pain.  Black blood oozed from his wound, a bite mark forming on her hand. Letting her go, she whistled.  A white flame phoenix caught her midair, her staff doubled in size.  Her brother chuckled to himself, black lightning crackling around his body.  Metal scraped against metal, her dual blades resting in one of her hands.  Blood pooled from her wound, her wrist flicking the blade into his side.  Too big to notice, her long hair flew around her as she leapt off of her bird.  Panic gripped my mind, his blade sliding through her stomach.  A defiant grin danced on her determined face, the wound appearing on her brother.  Pushing herself off of his blade, she healed herself halfway.  

“Ouch, that hurt little sister.” He growled sarcastically, her mind flipping through her options. “That barely dented me.  What now?”  Chuckling to herself, a frightful sight greeted me.  Her blood swirled around the blades, the blades turning red.  Coughing up blood, the crowd watched in hushed silence.

“I guess you want to die today.” She threatened hoarsely, her strength fading fast. “Powers of light combine with the blood of Hell and destroy.”  Slamming her blade into the ground, spikes shot up from the ground, her blood pouring into her weapon.  Leaping from spike to spike, her brother leapt towards her.  Sparks drifted around them, their blades clashing violently.  They looked like flashes of black and white, blood raining down on the battlefield.  The spikes receded, both of them crashing into the ground.  Cuts covered both of them, Erant disappearing in a puff of black smoke.  She powered down, her body twitching as she stood up.  Her cuts sealed shut, her uniform was destroyed. Most of her left breast hanging out, her skirt barely hanging on. Tucking her staff in her boot, the force field faded away.  Smashing through people, hateful glares burned the back of my head. Tucking her sword in its hilt, my body knocked her to the ground.   

“Don’t you ever do that again!” I yelled over the grumbling of the crowd, Marissa huffing and puffing up in the crowd. “I can’t stand to lose you.”  Chuckling to herself, she wrapped her arms around my neck. Scooping her up into my arms, she gazed lovingly at me. Smiling weakly, she passed out in my arms.  Her chest rose up and down, her trembling fingers gripping my jacket.  My friends rushed up behind me, acting as bodyguards.  The headmaster blocked my pathway to our room, his arms crossed. 

“I want her out of the school.” He barked pathetically, my death glare silencing him. “She is disqualified for br-” His chubby dwarf-like body shrank back, my brow cocking irritably.  How dare he suggest she get kicked out for saving everyone?  Jimmy and Johnny stepped forward, the little man close to pissing his pants. 

“How dare you try that shit after she saved all of us, baldy?” I chastised bitterly, my temper flaring out of control. “You will declare her the winner because she did win in both of her fights, and don’t even get me started on your cheating with that damn dagger.  You listen up, and listen well.  She is going to stay whether you like it or not.  So what were you saying?”  Scurrying off like the rat he was, the other house members approached us.  One by one, they got down on their knees and bowed their heads.  The redhead piped up first, shame dimming his green eyes.  

“We all swear loyalty to the Empress, and wish to be her knights.” He pleaded with his busted swollen eye pleasing the tyrant in me.  My lips parted to tell them off, her eyes fluttering open.  Leaping out of my arms, she smiled warmly in their direction.  Confusion twisted my face, her eyes lighting up with joy. 

“So you want to serve me?” She teased lightly, rage simmering beneath her pleasant smile. “I don’t want you.  Come back when I don’t want to cut off all of your heads.”  Her energy reminded me of when she walked onto that stage covered in blood and called everyone out.  My cock grew hard, the knights begging harder.  

“Please, your majesty!” The redhead fool begged, tears streaming from his eyes. “We will get everyone to stop killing you.  It was all me that led your attempts.” Well shit, that was mistake to say. Cocking her brow, her fingers wrapped around his neck.  Pinning him against the nearest building, a small dagger shimmered in the morning sun.  Hovering it over his groin, pee soaked his white trousers.  Dropping him to the ground, she turned to walk away. What was wrong with me? I wanted her so bad right now.

“You are going to regret this!” He yelled out, his face flushing with embarrassment. “I will make your life hell.  What about you boys?”  Standing up, they shook their heads.  The shortest one about her height stepped forward, his green eyes glaring at the redhead.  

“I, Sir Avery, vow to protect her majesty.” He announced proudly, a sly grin curling on his lips. “Whose with me?”  They all bowed to her, other students paying attention to the top bachelors bowing to her.  

“I will take you all as my knights.” She replied sweetly, making them all stand. “Please just call me Alice, and you don’t need to bow, ‘kay.  You are my equals.  Protect me from any attempts on my life.  I don’t think any of you could survive Jameson if you fail.  Now run along.”  Lumps formed in their throats, my dark energy frightening them.  Fresh blood was on her hand, blood dripping from the corner of her lips.  They ran off, her body beginning to fall.  My arms wrapped around her small waist, her body growing slack in my arms.  

“You need to rest.” I snapped icily, my old personality coming back. “You used a lot of magic.”  She tried to protest, her body not letting her.  Rolling her eyes, I tossed her over my shoulder.  Seeing her like this pained me, my heart breaking.  Although if she had died, then I would have died on the inside.  

“You don’t have to carry me like a caveman, Dragon.” She retorted sarcastically, her sharp tongue making me smile. “I refuse to be treated like this.”  Fine she wanted to be carried a different way, so I swung her into my arms.  Girls glared in her direction, Marissa flipping her off.  An urge rose in me, my lips pressing against her lustfully. Purring sensually, she was under my control.  As soon as she could move, she was mine to be had.
