Princess Of Flame, Part 2
"Ha!" the rider shouted, grabbing Rei by the ruby choker around her neck. Rei winced, as the jewels dug into her neck, and made it difficult to breathe. Dragon Ash ran past them, as Rei hung in the air. How could a guard of her planet do this to her? With her remaining strength, Rei managed to kick the guard in the stomach.
"Hey!" the guard shouted, "Watch it, or I'll let you go right now, and you'll crack you head on that rock, and I'll break a nail! Maybe even ruin my hair!"
Rei was shocked. The women of Mars weren't fans of such beauty, especially not guards, only women who could afford it were interested in such things! This guard was a bimbo! This guard was from Venus! Rei kicked the guard in her right leg. The guard fell on her butt. Rei fell to the ground. Luckily, she didn't hit any hazardous objects on the ground. Then a second rider appeared as the first guard was crying her eyes out and giving herself a manicure.
"Kurune! What happened?! How dare you sit on your butt in the line of duty! And how dare you use such fingernail polish! Oooooh! The horror!" Rayleen shut her eyes briefly. "Use one of my extras, it makes me cry to see you put that…so-called "fingernail polish" on your nails!"
Rei was shocked to see the voice belonged to none other than…
"Rayleen!?!?!?!? YOU'RE the one behind this?! I can't believe I trusted you!" She than spit on Rayleen's dainty feet and stuck her tongue out.
"EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW! OH MY GOD! Ohmygodohmygod! She SPIT on MY SHOES! THAT'S IT! NOW FOR A LESSON IN MANNERS! To be a pure planetary princess you must respect others, blahblah, but most importantly, 1.Wear pretty dresses with high slits; 2.Scream loud when a dragon captures you; 3.Recite words: "Help! Help! I'm a damsel in distress! Help! Aaaaaaaaah!" etc…4.Never hesitate to kiss a fresh prince…"
There was plenty more but Rei couldn't stand it. First this flake pretends to be her friend. Then she sends a retarded guard after her. Now she's reciting the frickin' exact, complete rules for that stupid school. And she's pissed at her?!
"7.Always look your best; 8.Share-especially including make-up!; 9. Never be physical in combat, leave your knight/prince to do that stuff, always use magic or just-"
"SHUT UP! YOU STUPID FASHION FREAKED UP BIMBO!"
Rei did an uppercut on the perfect princess. It got her attention. An orange-yellow-pink light flashed. Rayleen opened her palm and recited: "Goddess of Love; Goddess of Beauty; Give me your power, I, Rayleen, whom shines like a crimson ruby!"
A light glowed and grew in the palm of her hand. "Now you feel my wrath…" And she left the heart-shaped energy fly at Rei.
Rei ran to dodge it, but suddenly a pain like a thorn dug into her ankle, making her stop. It was a sharpened fingernail of Kurune. Rei ripped her skin and dress breaking free. Then Kurune shot sticky fingernail polish from her right hand. It wrapped around Rei's ankle and once again stopped her from moving.
"Damn it!" Rei exclaimed trying to move. The blast was coming…and Rei saw it hit…the small bright hearts…
2 feet away from her. They made a dent in the ground. All three people sweatdropped.
"Uh…the goddess of love is not happy with me…" Rayleen said quietly. She tried again and again but nothing better happened.
"That's…it." Rei said, hardly able to believe it.
Rayleen began to cry, and Kurune comforted her. Rei could now stand up. She pulled out her red bow and arrows and aimed. As a warning shot, she made a small arrow pass right through Rayleen's hair. Rayleen let out a little shriek and Kurune almost fainted.
"Oh! I am in despair! Where is my knight in shining armor?"
A pause.
And…nothing happened. Rayleen cried again. Rei warned:
"Ok, I'm leaving now. No time to cry about men; forget about that dork! Sayonara!"
She began to leave when a man suddenly appeared behind Rayleen. He smiled.
"Hey babe, Wuz up? Don't cry. I'm here for you!"
Rei gagged and almost threw up. Kurune swooned. Rayleen smiled sweetly, and blinked her eyes innocently. "Oh help me Makcha-baby! Please! I'm being attacked by a fashion retard!"
"No prob." Said 'Makcha-baby' in a confident, yet arrogant tone. "Anything for my sweetie."
Rayleen and Kurune did cheerleader-type cheers and dances on the sidelines, while Rei readied her bow and arrow. It wouldn't be enough, for sure. This guy was a dope, but he was muscular.
This would be a delay in getting away from this place. Especially since two more riders, her parents, were coming near.
"Oh great." Rei murmured. Maybe it would have been a good idea to get a knight, after all…Where was Dragon Ash?!
