I pulled the headphone out of my ears and flung them to the ground. I had done a cardinal sin, and now I was going to pay for it.
I was too confident, putting in headphones, a song on full blast, meant that I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings. Running away from the guys didn't help either, but it was too late for regrets. I had two zombies, one blue, and one purple encircling me, walking around and just staring at me with the grins on their faces getting wider and wider as my blood continued to drip onto the pavement beneath my feet.
I wasn't terrified by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, the only emotion I could feel right now was rage. I was pissed off at myself for being so stupid. I deserved the flesh on my back being torn if for no other reason than to remind myself what happened when you got too confident.
Now, before everyone gets up in arms, I feel like I should explain a few things:
LDL doesn't want to become all-powerful because she has a purple flame that can destroy everything it touches in seconds. She wants to become all-powerful because she is tired of being weak.
To her, the only way to truly be strong (and be at the same level as the guys) is to work hard and not rely on a golden finger.
But she is only human, and because she is human, she is going to make mistakes, she is going to get her ass kicked and she is going to learn from them.
The guys will always be there to support her and protect her. But there are some things that she has to do herself. Otherwise, she is only strong because of the guys and she refuses to let that happen.
Loves you and please don't take off my head!
