Dakota cracked his knuckles as he walked out of the drug store. It felt good to walk down the street with his new powers. They gave him a sense of security. Loud music wafted out of a rather secluded club called The Mercury Room, as he passed, and to his surprise, Karma stepped out of it's doors glistening in the sunlight from the heat. She looked extremely annoyed and defeated, but when she saw Dakota, her expression changed.
"Hello Dakota," she said approaching him in a seductive manner. Her voice flowed over her lips smooth and silky like honey. "What are you doing out side of Darkwood?"
"And what are you doing off your leash?" Dakota asked. She had really started to get on his nerves. After what she did to Jack and Alex, she had sunk in his eyes to a new level of disgust.
The feeling was mutual. Karma narrowed her amazing electric blue eyes, but then she smiled, and ran a hand up his chest sliding her fingers over his chin. "Why do you hate me so much Dakota?" She asked in a whiny voice. "What did I ever do to you?"
Dakota smiled and leaned against the hot brick wall of the club. "Don't play stupid with me Karma." He said. "You not only tried to kill Jack, but you've been putting Alex through absolute crap. Oh yeah," Dakota said holding up a hand to stop her protests. "I know you pretended to be Heather Kidd. You know that's pretty low, even for you."
Karma stepped closer to Dakota and glided her nails along his arm. "Oh, why can't we just put the past behind us huh? You know I find you very sexy." She leaned in and blew in his ear. His heart pounded in her ultra sensitive ears, and she smiled. I've got him, she thought. Goose bumps appeared on his sweaty skin, but he put his hands on her shoulders and firmly pushed her away.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
Karma cocked her head to the side like a puppy and pouted her lips. "Oh, come now, you're not attracted to me?"
Dakota smiled a smile that stung Karma. He looked at her like she did not know what she was doing, like she was a little girl playing a game. "Karma, the only attraction I could ever have had for you would be solely physical, but I know you, and that has ruined even the physical attraction" With that he shoved past her, again gently but firmly. He turned over his shoulder before he rounded the corner. "Besides, I love someone, and I would never hurt her."
Karma stared after him with her eyes wide and her lips parted. She could do no more.
