Chapter Thirteen

Why is that everyone one I know bad guys?

"How did you find me?" I hissed glaring at the pale girl in the shadows, her blue almost silver eyes glinting in the moonlight. Her albino looks was unnerving. The long pale hair, with skin, and sliver eyes reminded me of a ghost. I wish she was. At least she would be dead.

"Kida, you practically announced yourself the way took down all those… miscreants." She sniffed disapprovingly.

"What? I thought you would love all this mindless violence. Were you not the person that told me how much fun bloodshed is Jia?" I snarl.

"Contradictory to you belief, I now hate violence. It is messy. Pointless." Jia replies.

"So that's the reason for the hired muscle." I sneer; gesturing to the guy I was fighting.

"Hey now sweetheart, I loved fighting you too, but I am more than hired muscle. I am here for the money. That's it." He replied calmly.

"Who are you?" I snap at him.

"I'm Onyx, and last I recalled I'm not the only one that was once hired muscle too." Onyx points out.

"What do you want Jia?" I say, ignoring Onyx's jab. She smiled evilly. I felt a shiver from her grin. Not many people scare me, but last time is I saw Jia she was trying to reach a new personal record for deaths she caused. And who is this Onyx guy? Jia preferred to work alone and I quote "more fun and more money." So whatever she was doing was big, plus I could not believe that Jia would suddenly become a pacifist. It is the polar opposite of what I remember her to be like.

"Your help. I have a job I need you to do, and it will suit your skill set." Already I made up my mind. Did she even have to ask?

"No. No way Jia, I am done helping you." I hiss, tensed and ready for her reaction.

"Well, I had hoped you would agree. Such a pity." Jia said sadly, glancing up at the moon. I whirl on my heels and start to stalk away from her, trying to ignore how unlikely she would let me walk away is.

"Oh Kida! One more thing," I pause and glance over my shoulder. "I would hate for some certain people to learn about an incident involving Cynbel." It took me a moment realize what she meant. Oh no. She couldn't have possibly known I blood bended Cynbel? Could she? It was Jia; she would have all her bases covered. Yes she would know. I feel my hands tighten into fists as I debate it. Screw Jia, I just wanted to go at it with someone. Someone who could hold their own. So I turn around with flames in my hand and blast them at Jia, though Onyx blocked them with ease. I start with a high right kick that smashed into his shoulder, and used the momentum to swing my left arm down, surrounded by fire. It would have hurt I think, if he had been there when my arm arrived.

But he had somehow dodged my attack and ended up behind me, but I pull my right leg up wicked fast, creating a wall of fire to block the blast from Onyx that would have ended the fight. I whip around two more rounds of fire behind me. But yet again, no one was there. Shoot! I was fast and I could dodge pretty well, but this guy's whole style seemed focused on dodging and surprising hid opponent. Suddenly out of nowhere came four strong blasts of fire!

Bam!

Duck!

Bam!

Block!

Bam!

No time! Bend! NOW!

Out of pure reflex I bend water from a nearby sewer pipe and use it to dissipate the fire. But I had forgotten Onyx did not know I could bend two elements. So there he stood with shock on his face, as I take advantage of him. I blast fire at him, but once I get in close I jab and punch his torso. Then I back away and almost lose control. I bend and blast him, trying to clear my head.

"Kida that is enough!" Jia ordered me as I was about to deck him.

"What? Since when did I ever listen to you." I say coldly.

"Now. If you harm him or me, a scout of mine will report you under the charges of blood bending. And if you do not help me or meet any of my demands, I will make sure you locked up forever." No emotion whatsoever as she threatened to end my life. So to speak. I was shaking with anger. Jia was blackmailing me? I wanted to kill her so bad. I vent my anger and with a large blast of fire destroy a nearby light lamp.

"Fine." I say through gritted teeth while my mind spun at a million miles an hour; calculating how I could get out of this mess.

"Also if you tell anyone I will make sure you're buried for life." I glare at her.

"How do I know I can trust you? How do I know you won't keep your end of the bargain?" I spit at Jia, while Onyx groans, slowly standing up.

"Because I have always lived by honor, and you don't have much a choice do you?" Jia says calm and collected. Like she should be, she was right. I have no choice agree to her terms or lose what I have now. I hated it though, how I hated her controlling me, blacking mailing me. I can't stand the thought of someone being in charge of me, but I was trapped. She thought everything through, knew just how I would react. And that scared me.

"Ok," I mumble, trying hard not to sound defeated. "What do you want me to do?"
