Chapter 276: Just a week ago [1/2]
Josephine ran quickly to me as she cheered.
"Darling! We have all thirty Phantom Soulgems! We can turn them into Soulgears! Ah, right... They're here..."
My Italian lover started smiling with joy, but then slowly lost her joy as she looked towards the 2nd Amendment, specifically at Yvonne and Claire.
Before I could stop her, Jo stomped over to Claire and suddenly tried to grab her by the neck. Warren, always protective of the saint from Salt Lake City, tried to intervene.
"Yo lady! I dunno what your deal is but calm down! Boo ain't done nothing wrong yet."
I belatedly noticed that Jo was no longer smiling. Her eyes seemed to be red as she hammered her leg into Warren's torso. Although the African-American was over six feet tall, the Italian's kick sent him to the ground.
"I wasn't talking to you."
Cold. Devoid of affection. And overflowing with hostility, Jo's sudden shift caught me off guard.
The rest of the guys, sensing the danger, all sprang into action! Santiago, Mike and Angela all lunged at Jo. Scott and Joshua stood like a wall of muscle in front of Claire. But my girl was not alone.
A loud bang sounded, knocking Santi to the ground. Mike, on the other hand, was suddenly kneed in the crotch by a Robyn who seemed to have teleported. Angela, who tried to tackle Jo, took a devastating fist to the gut.
Unable to withstand the force, Angela ended up grunting in pain. The Italian then grabbed her by the neck and slammed her mercilessly to the ground. Claire, overwhelmed by what was happening, cried out in response.
"PLEASE STOP! WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?!"
Liv suddenly appeared behind Claire and placed her in a sleeper chokehold. Scott and Joshua belatedly noticed and tried to turn around.
However, Lilly arrived and landed a vicious right hook to Joshua's face. She grabbed Scott by the collar and threw him into Korean before kicking the Redneck in the abdomen, sending both men flying.
I noticed that Warren was already up and about to join in, but Bella had already cocked her revolver and pressed it to the middle of his back.
"Move and your soulgem goes bye-bye, nigger. Try me."
While I knew the Sirens would never do anything to upset me, seeing them dominate my men several times their size was a bit disconcerting.
'Was the 2nd Amendment that weak? No, it's the Sirens that are too overbearing.'
Phillip fished out a new monocle and began to wipe it. As someone from Administration, the bastard probably knew he was exempt from whatever was going on.
Claire, unable to breathe, began to claw at Liv's arms in desperation. Although Yvonne was not used to violence, my chief saint ran to Claire's aid. But before she could help, Jo appeared and punched her in the sternum.
"Uwah!"
With the wind knocked out of her, Yvonne was sent flying. But Jo grabbed Yvonne's collar and started punching her in the face. The rest of the boys who tried to intervene were shot by Jas or knocked to the ground by Lilly and Robyn.
Surprisingly, only Claire and Yvonne were not let off so easily. I was about to intervene when I heard a loud metallic thud.
"CRAZY BITCH! GET OFF MY JUNIOR! {LADY OF WAR}!"
A mace as big as her appeared as Angela lunged at Liv. My Northerner then picked up the now unconscious Claire and threw her at Angela. Suddenly forced to stop, Angela put down her mace to catch her junior.
But at that moment, a large figure appeared in front of the Korean.
"Naive. Disarming in combat, you are nothing but a lie."
Liv slammed her fist into Angela's face. However, contrary to her expectations, Angela resisted and countered! The Korean bashed her head into Liv's face, but it made no difference.
My northern lover grabbed Angela's arm and bent it. The sound of breaking bones could be heard. Not done yet, Liv then kicked Angela's right knee from the side. Another loud crack told everyone that the Korean's knee broke in the wrong direction.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
"Gela!"
Liv finished by slamming Angela to the ground. The racist Korean fainted immediately.
Joshua, hearing his lover's screams, tried to get up only to suddenly eat Lilly's vicious side kick to his temple. Warren also tried to move, but ended up getting kicked in the balls by Bella. My honey shot both of his kneecaps for good measure.
Santiago, Scott and Mike were all unconscious from Robin's brutal beatdown. All the while, Yvonne's face was being smashed by Jo's powerful punches. Claire, who was coughing as she tried to get up, cried out in anger.
"WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?! AREN'T YOU THE PATRON'S HAREM! WE ARE ALLIES!"
Josephine suddenly let go of Yvonne and slowly walked towards the last standing saint. The Italian's cold voice still oozed blood lust.
"This is what it means to stand by darling's side."
Claire was suddenly hit with a punch to the chest.
"Something similar happened before, right?" Josephine murmured in a whisper to the saint.
She then lifted Claire by her collar as she continued.
"The men with you were all somehow skilled in combat I suppose... Yet they were unable to muster any resistance. That was because of you, wasn't it? They were trying to protect you. Just like now. Everyone here is going to die because of your fucking cowardice."
Sending another full power punch into Claire's face. Josephine attacked her not only physically, but psychologically as well.
"None of you are prepared for what is to come. You are all too fucking weak. The horrors you experienced before? Those will fucking continue. Darling is someone who is willing to die for his goals. But all of you?
You are nothing but fucking garbage.
"Riding on Darling's coattails, you are all nothing but weak-minded parasites! Even after everything you have earned, why are you all still Wraiths! Do you still think you can remain human?! Fucking idiots!
"You all think that only the undead are the enemy! You all have {Rewind}, yet you have all been taken out! If this is all you can do, I cannot allow any of you to stay by Darling's side. He will only be killed trying to save you!"
Claire somehow remained conscious despite the fact that half of her face was swollen. Her lip was busted and blood was all over her face, but the saint's eyes remained focused. It was like a fire had been lit inside her.
"Fuc... Yo... the 2nd Amendment. Huff... will be his... strength.
Patron... Huff... give us a chance... we will repay it... putui!"
