Spectral Showdown

She was making her way home, the shock left her trembling as she leaned against the wall for support.

just as she was about to fall, a pair of strong arms caught her preventing her from falling.

"Careful or you might just fall forever." she heard the voice of a man behind her.

The man steadies her, holding her up until he managed to get her footing back.

"You... I don't know what you're here for.." She replied in a hushed tone. She remained rooted to the spot, refusing to acknowledge him.

The man was silent for a moment before confronting her, a smirk tugged at his lips.

"I know what you saw and that look you gave." The man replied, his gaze cold and calculating, his eyes boring onto her.

"You should be careful next time or you'd be paying for your ass if you ever saw just a glimpse of him." He sneered.

She remained silent as her fist clenched and her knuckles turned white, he chuckled.

"But you already know that, don't you--

Before he could speak, she punched his face with an impact, the man stumbled but he managed to regain balance, looking at her with surprise and anger.

"Bastard.."

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?" He yelled, shocked at her audacity.

"I've been deceiving you all lately..." She replied, her voice laced with anger.

" I already know how to control my powers and break the barrier you casts to seal my powers away." Her fist trembled with anger.

"WHAT!? how did you-

"You're trying to give me threats by keeping me safe, but you're also trying to keep me away from him!" She yelled. "To prevent me from seeing him!"

He gritted his teeth and his fist clenched in anger. "How did you—You fucking bitch!!"

He was about to call for a backup but she casts her spear and dashed towards him, bringing the butt of her spear on his face, the man tried to retaliate but before he could.

Aya kicked his balls.

"AHHH!" The man lets out a small, squeaky, groan, holding his aching crotch and curling up into a ball. He glares at you, face flushing red as you kick his most delicate area.

"You fucking whore!" He cursed.

Aya approached him and pulled his earpiece out of his ear and crushed it, glaring down at him.

"Fuck you! You fucking whore! You're gonna pay for this!" he yelled, looking at her with a glare while shaking from pain.

"I'm sorry if I have to do this...but you're a jerk sometimes and I hate it!" She shouted.

"ARGH! FUCK! you shouldn't kick me in the balls!" He screamed in rage and stood up, holding the wall for support while panting.

The man looked at her. "Let's go back, he must be waiting for us, we shouldn't stay here, please!" He pleaded.

Aya took a step back from him, seeing her hesitation, he winced and hissed in anger.

"Lady Aya, please, if you don't come with me, I'll be killed!" He tried to convince her, hoping she would give in to his plea.

However, Aya was in the state of confusion, she doesn't know what to decide, but she feels like he'll be in danger, she feels like something will happen...

"I'm sorry..." She whispered.

And suddenly, Aya disappeared in a blink of an eye.

She managed to teleport away, landing hard on the ground, she slowly pulled herself together and sat up, clutching her chest.

'damn.. I-is that..my teleportation technique? It was one of my powers too...'

Gasping for breath, she looked up, her eyes focused on the exact location she needed to be,

She was in the state of confusion, she looked around to find herself in a forest, she doesn't know this place, but she was teleported right here...?

"AHHHH!!"

She felt a chill run down her spine when a scream shattered the silence. Instinctively, her hand held her spear.

The smooth wood was a soothing weight in her fingers and felt cool against her palm. Her senses were acutely aware, and her heart beat frantically against her ribs.

She made no hesitation. That scream was a sign of trouble. With her shoes crunching on the fallen leaves and her eyes searching the foliage for any indication of danger, she ran towards the sound.

Her urgency was heightened. With her spear in her hand, she pushed through a tangle of shrubs, prepared to confront whatever lay ahead.

As she managed to track where the scream was, she felt a sinister energy coming from the second floor as she hop up breaking the window.

"AHHH!!!"

As hinata screamed, she closed her eyes, bracing from the inevitable, but the blow never came.

she heard the windows breaking as she felt a sudden rush of cold air as something brushed past her face.

she suddenly heard a horrific scream of pain and agony.

"Nghh! AHHHHHHH!!!" The creature shrieked in agony as its limbs were severed and it spurts blood. She repelled it back to the wall with a surge of powerful energy.

Hinata, with tears, opened her eyes and looked up at the girl who came to save her.

The girl had a long edged-spear on her hand and she saw the familiar uniform she wore! She came from the same school as hers!

"Are you hurt?" She asked. Her voice was cold and quiet.

Before Hinata could speak, she cuts him off. "You shouldn't touch anything that isn't yours, let alone a cursed object." She uttered, looking at the creature coldly.

"Why--who are you? How did you get in!?" She asked with fear and panic looking up at the girl.

She suddenly scratched the back of her nape. "I..I broke your window, sorry about that but... You're rich, you can just make and pay for it"

the girl grabbed her arm and helped her get up before turning back towards the creature as she gripped on her spear, ready to attack.

The creature growled and regenerated its limbs, the girl with the spear winced. "Damn, it's regenerating!"

It laughed with a hint of recognition etched on its face, showing it's bloodied mouth and it began to spoke in a chilling whisper.

"Aššur-šarru, anaku idû-ku, u šum-ka qāt-šu."

Aya was startled, her eyes widened while hinata held her arm tightly.

Hinata was scared and confused about what was happening.

"Anaku idû-ku, dam-ka ša ina libbi-ka ina-šammu, u lā taqabbal."

The body began to convulsed, its form twisting and contorting, making them stumble backward.

"ANAKU IDÛ-KU, EWA!"
