EPISODE 5
"What the hell did you think you were doing?" Pride burst into Faith's hut later that day. She sat at her desk reading over some papers, when he had burst in and looked up to him with a bemused look on her face.
Two guards came running in promptly, "We are extremely sorry, Faith. Please forgive us, he rushed us," one apologized.
Pride still stood there looking angrily at her. Faith stood and looked to the guards, "It is alright you can leave us now," she said dismissing them. They looked at her and then at Pride for a moment and then promptly left.
"Well Pride, you've made a grand entrance," Faith said turning to Pride.
"Almost as good as you? Now you haven't answered my question, what did you think you were doing this morning?" Pride asked her again, standing his ground.
"What? Didn't like waking up to me in the morning? Or was it that you didn't have any memory of the heat we shared last night? Or maybe because of Salene walking in this morning?" Faith said.
"We did NOTHING last night," Pride said harshly, "I don't know how you got in, but you were not welcome, do you understand that?"
"Then what are you doing here sweetheart? Are you sure I didn't rouse something in you?" Faith asked seductively leaning back against the desk.
Pride was starting to lose his patience, "I came here to take you back to the mall and explain to Salene that nothing happened between us," he said stepping forward.
"And why should I do that? Sounds like she already has problems with you, if she can't even trust you," Faith said with an evil smile.
"You will go back, even if I have to drag you," Pride said.
"Oooooo, you'd like that wouldn't you?" Faith chuckled, "No, I don't think so. I'm quite happy here thank you."
"That's it!" Pride said and moved towards her. He grabbed a hold of her by her wrists and held her tightly. She tried to struggle at first, but he held tightly not letting her go, "You are coming back to the mall, and explaining that you and I did nothing last night, that it was all a stupid little joke! Or else, so help me, I'll..."
"You'll what Pride," Faith said interrupting him, "You'll hurt me. Is that what you like? Is that how you like your women? Beaten up? Do you like them roughly? Do you like holding them down? Bruising them? Being the all dominant male?" She enticed him on further and further. He was stronger than her, but she could hold her own. She matched him as best as she could, as he held her by the wrists.
Pride didn't say or do anything for a moment. He stared her down, gripping at her wrists more tightly. Their eyes remained locked throughout this time. And in a heated moment, he had to decide to strike her or walk away.
He threw her back, down to the desk. He had pushed her with some conviction, for she had to brace herself as she hit the desk. She turned to him looking at him with hate, or was that something else in her eyes? "You disgust me," Pride said almost spitting the words at her, "I never want to see you again, near the Mall, near Salene, and especially near me. Do you hear me Protector, you come near me, the Mall, or Salene and there will be consequences." And with that he left her there.
Faith watched him leave. She had pushed the right buttons in him. She was getting what she wanted. She smiled as she stood up. Her right side hurt a little from being thrown into the desk, she'd bruise there. All the spoils of war.
