VRMMO: World's First Glyphborne-Chapter 128: Cat Fight

~A few minutes earlier~

"I found her! I found her! I won! I’m the one that gets to be with you! I won your heart!" A particularly manic man shouted as he hopped, skipped and jumped his way back into the main area of the Tower of Mystica.

He immediately skipped towards LusciousLox, wrapping his arms around her and squeezing her in a tight hug, all while very obviously taking a very deep breath in through his nose.

LusciousLox squirmed in revulsion in his grasp, her entire body tensing up as she had to stop herself from immediately punching him in the face, and instead peeled his arms off of her.

She pushed his head away from her and stepped out of his grasp, keeping this disgusting cretin at arms length from her as she put on a very forced and strained smile.

"That’s nice sweetie. Now why don’t you tell me a good boy and show me where she is, hmm?" She spoke in a condescending, yet gentle and sing songy voice that made this delusional fool think she was being affectionate.

He nodded eagerly, trying to go for another hug that this time she desperately side-stepped, before he stood up straight and gestured to her to follow him.

Whilst they were walking, he held his hand out towards her multiple different times, as if he was trying to be sweet and romantic by holding her hand and only knew how to do so from very terrible rom coms.

Naturally LusciousLox simply ignored those attempts and held him at bay with a "Don’t be too eager to claim your prize, lets see if you’re right." line a few times, which seemed to work.

Eventually she had to speed him up, increasing their pace as they ran through the corridors. Well, it was mostly her running away from him and him doing his best to keep up as he gave her directions.

Eventually though, his directions led her into the library, and for a second she thought that he was trying to get her somewhere private in an attempt to kiss her, when she finally saw that wretched bitch. She was just sitting there oh so innocently reading, like she was waiting for her prince charming to come rescue her.

Well, no one was going to rescue anyone today.

LusciousLox stormed over to the girl, her heels clicking - because yes, she had made sure that this outfit had heels to make her look extra good - and her plump rear swaying in a way that made her companion drool.

Stopping next to Belladonna’s table, LusciousLox struck a domineering pose with a stomp of her foot. One hand on her hips with the other held up, as her finger nails extended slightly into small, sharp claws as she puffed out her chest and held her head up high.

"Looks like I finally found you bitch. Ready to die? Maybe if you beg me for forgiveness I’ll let you live. But not without giving me all your money!" She smirked at her own words, holding her head up higher and waiting for the idiotic retort, but nothing came.

She opened her eyes, lowering her gaze to find Belladonna completely ignoring her, still reading away as if she hadn’t heard a word that she had said.

"Uh, Helloooo? I’m talking to you!" She said, stomping her foot like an insolent child, before continuing, "What’s the matter? Too much of a nerd to face me? Or just afraid that you’re going to have to face the claws!" She smirked again, shifting poses.

This time holding her hands up with her fingers curled into claws, making sure this girl saw her real claws and not that she had fake nails on. These wouldn’t be breaking in any kind of fight.

Her face was completely red with anger as she stepped forwards and shoved Belladonna out of her chair and away from the desk she was studying at.

"I’m talking to you, you gothic bitch!" She shouted, loud enough for people in different sections of the library to look up from their own studies before shaking their heads in disappointment.

"You think you can just ignore me and that I will go away? Well think again bitch!"

The door to the library creaked open and LusciousLox’s eager companion turned around, ready to play guard and shun away any intruders, when a foot smashed against his knee. His leg snapped in the other direction, but before he could shout or scream a giant red hand clamped over his face and twisted his head around 180 degrees.

Of course LusciousLox was too engrossed in her own world to notice that. What she did notice, however, was the books that Belladonna had been studying and the very basic titles of them.

She couldn’t help but scoff, a sense of superiority flowing through her as she looked down at Belladonna in a new light.

She laughed loudly, half shouting and half speaking as she waved her hands dramatically, eager to create a scene for everyone to see to increase the humilation, her mind still rooted perfectly in high school drama.

"Look at this idiot? Is that really what you came here to do? Baby needs her first magic books? Here you thought you were better than me to slap me around. Well the boot is on the other foot now!

In fact, why don’t you go ahead and lick my boot otherwise I’ll have to show you what real magic can do!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

She stomped her foot down, pointing a clawed finger at it and raised her haughty head high again. But her facade completely cracked as Belladonna looked up at her and smirked like she was a total idiot.

The gothic looking woman held her hands up like she was surrendering before saying in a low, quiet voice.

"I am doing nothing here."

That was the final straw. LusciousLox’s cat ears folded back as she let out a feline hiss,

"Fine! Time to burn bitch!"

Her hands shot above her head as she held them together, chanting under her breath as a fireball manifested in between her hands. Belladonna made no moves to dodge, the smirk still on her face.

A move that LusciousLox took to mean she was convinced that she wouldn’t do it. She was about to find out just how wrong she was.

Unfortunately the ’she’ in that sentence did not refer to Belladonna.

Just before she could complete the spell and throw the fireball, there was a puff of air from behind her and the growing ball of fire simply snuffed out, like a candle in the wind.
