Chapter 31: 2v2

Daisy tried to stand firm from where she is as she catch her breath. She was so tired from running so much that her sweat have already made her body wet.

"Excuse me." Someone said and pushed her out of the way, making her outbalanced, but was caught up by Granger in a matter of seconds.

"Are you ok?" He asked worriedly and Daisy just nodded as an answer.

"Oh, sorry about that. Maybe I swayed you a bit hard, don't you think?" The kid who pushed her said and laughed with its companions.

Dessa felt Granger's hand grip in her dress and she also saw how the root in its head started to throb. So he held him and said.

"Let's just go inside." Making Granger sigh in frustration and followed her, but they were stopped by the others.

"We're not done playing with you yet. So please don't just leave like that." The other kid said.

"Sorry, but we really need to go. We still need to take a rest." Daisy explained while looking sincere.

"No can do missy, cause you're playing with me." The young boy said and pulled her away from Granger. "Why are you with this limp anyway? He can't even protect you, so just come with me." He explained, making Daisy knit her eyebrows and shrugged the boy's hand away.

"Don't you dare make fun of him, or else you'll face the wrath of mine." She said glaring that made everybody laugh except the two bullied ones.

"Bold words for someone who just woke up from being stabbed two weeks ago." One of the girl in the group said, making everyone laugh again.

So this time, Daisy was the one who held her temper. Even Granger can tell by how she grip his hand that she is actually pissed, but he didn't calm her down. Knowing Daisy, she would definitely fight once they all crossed the line. So he just waited for her cue to fight and just stand there.

A minute of silence had passed since the last talks and Daisy is still silent. But then...

"Let's just go. Nothing good will happen if we keep on lurking around this place." Daisy said, making everyone surprised. Even Granger didn't know why she had an answer like that.

'Will she really let this slide?! What the actual hell!'

He said in his mind and even if he really wanted to teach the other guy a lesson. He knew that Daisy will get mad if he does, so he just nodded and started to turn around, when he was held by the shoulder.

"Did I already gave you the permission to go? 'cause, I can't seem to remember a thing." The other kid said with a pissed voice. "Did you know that I really hate it when someone turns their back on me while I am talking to them? It embarasses me man." He continued, but Granger didn't do anything.

"Answer him you fools. He's talking." A girl then held Daisy on its dress about to rip it.

"Why do I have to answer anyways? Is he even the king? The general? Is he one of the higher ranks in the empire for me to respect him? He doesn't even deserve to be respected, so can you please give me a valid reason as to why I need to answer him?" Daisy said, making the boy more pissed.

"I see you got some nerves huh? How about a little fist to fist... Just to see who deserves to be respected, if I may put it in your words." The kid said, making the others smirk, while Daisy and Granger kept their facade.

"Let's see... I will be fighting you, and your limpy friend should fight him, to be fair with you." The girl earlier said and the other two just sighed boredly at this. They all went to the widest place in the hospital. The garden, where some of the children are injoying the view.

"You guys. Come and watch this! There will be a fight, fist to fist, today. And whoever gets to win will be respected, while the losing team will be humiliated until they die! A good battle to commence right? So what are you all waiting for? Let's surround the area to make a little arena!" One of the members of the group said and everyone listened to it. They all went near them to hurdle the place. And when everything is ready, the referee, or the one who called the other kids, said. "On the right side, we can see. The best duo of all time, fearless, brave and perfect combination, the winning team... Team, Rainier and Zaina!" After what he said, a loud cheer was heard in the crowd, supporting the mentioned team. The supported team then raised their hands as if they were already the victors. "On the left side... There goes the weird and limpy team. Team unknown!" Because of this, everyone laughed at them, but instead of being pissed. They both just yawned and when they looked at each other, they laughed, making everyone silent and confused.

"You both really are something." Rainier said. "Now let's get this over with." He said and waited for the cignal to start.

"Let the battle begin!" Yelled the referee, making all of them silent.

"Daisy, should I do the usual? You know, play a little bit, or should I be serious?" Granger asked while looking at her, waiting for her answer.

"Why ask me though? You can do what you want, just please, don't break his bones. I'll feel sorry for him if you do. Even if I didn't saw you fight yet, I can feel that you might kill him with just a pinch." Daisy said and covered her mouth while holding her laugh in.

"You dare insult him in front of everyone?! I won't forgive you with that! Bitch!" Zaina shouted angrily and started to charge at Daisy.

"Yeah yeah, whatever... I'm kinda bored, so... Sorry if I don't get serious with you there." She said and just as Zaina was about to punch her right in the face... She quickly dodged it and yawned again. "Is that the least you can do?" She asked unbelievably. "What a wimp."

"Don't you dare insult me! You dim witted puppet!" Zaina yelled and kicked her in the tummy, making her lay down on the grassy field while groaning in pain.

"Oi! Don't play with her, I got serious here, so don't you dare cheat and just beat her up already." Daisy heard Granger talk and when she looked at him, he saw that he was already done with his enemy, making her pout.

"And this is why I wanted to tell you not to be so serious about this."
