VICTORY

Ares allowed Angel to go ahead of him. The goal was to reach the fountain first.

He knew she could be a million paces ahead, and he'd still overtake her.

Also, he loved watching her glide through the water with such grace only someone like her possessed.

She was at the half-line when he chuckled, and began to move.

Angel looked back, and saw she was way ahead of him.

Her victory was pretty much secure, but she didn't want to relent.

Ares was by all indications, extremely crafty.

She didn't think she would forgive herself if she let her guard down, and he ended up surpassing her.

Throwing all of her heart, and strength into it, she fastened her pace.

She had just about reached the fountain, when she blinked, and Ares was immediately ahead of her.

"No!" She screamed, as he ran his hand through the fountain water before she could.

Turning to face her, he broke into a mocking laughter.
