Keifer's POV
Why? Why am I scared like this? I have never been scared like this before. My heart is beating so fast like I'm ready to kill someone.
"Keifer.." Yuri called me. ".. I need to ask you something."
I didn't answer. I waited for his question.
"...What happened back in Amusement Park? I know Jay-jay was with you when we were at the Horror House."
I... I don't know and I don't want to know!
"Before I answer that... Let me ask you first." I said.
He looks at me the same way he does when I ask him about Ella.
"...Do you like Jay-jay?"
He looked away. Honestly, I don't want to hear his answer. I feel His answer will be poison to me.
"I-i do... And I think I'm starting to fall for her."
My grip on the steering wheel tightened.
Fvck! No! Not Jay-jay, please!
"Are you planning to fight me? You know that I need her for my plan." I said calmly.
I don't want Yuri to feel my tension.
"N-no..." He struggled to answer.
I stopped the car. Were here at the old and abandoned factory. But before I got off, I said something to Yuri.
"Good... You know where I'll pick you up if you fight me."
I went out and he followed. Felix and I arrived right away using Yuri's car. We both stopped at the factory gate. Waiting for it to open.
Actually, it took a long time My body is getting hot from the fight.

Jay-jay's POV
"Do you want to eat?" Ram offered me while smiling.
"Looking like this, can I eat?" I replied sarcastically to him.
He chuckled and walked toward me. "..I'll try it!"
"I don't want to! Maybe it's still poisoned!"
Suddenly the door opened and one of the men I punched earlier while I was struggling entered.
"Boss! They're here!" The man said and looked at me evilly.
If I get out of here, I'll punch you again!
Ram untied the rope behind me so I could leave the bank. But my hands were still tied behind me.
"Come on! Let's take a look at your guests!" Ram said and tried to pull me out the door.
It was like we were on a terrace. Except that we were inside a factory. It looked like an office, but it was full of household items.
"Jay!" Ci-N called to me.
"Your guests!" Ram said and suddenly pushed me.
"Aaaaaahhhhhhh...."
"JAY-JAY!!"
we shouted at the same time. I thought I was going to fall but Ram grabbed me from behind.
I felt like my soul was separating from my body in fear.
Ram pulled me and straightened us up.
He laughed out loud. "Hahahaha.. Sorry! I forgot that we were up here! Hahahahaha!"
"You did that on purpose! You animal!" I shouted at him.
I couldn't breathe properly. Now I understood the near death experience.
"We're here! What else do you need?!" Keifer asked.
I looked at him. There was something strange about him staring straight at me.
I thought I'll never find you!
Argh! Why am I remembering that now?!
"I'm hung! I want to watch someone fight." Ram said and smirked. He gestured to his crew.
"BOYS!" The man shouted.
Suddenly, a stocky man appeared from nowhere. The others were holding pipes and baseball bats.
There were only four of them, Keifer. They couldn't handle that many.
Keifer chuckled. "That's all? It's just a little!"
Is he an idiot?
At that number of almost 50, it's still a little for him? This Keifer is strange.
"Don't be arrogant! Just wait!" Ram said and suddenly pulled me back inside.
But before we could enter, Keifer shouted something that made my heart beat faster.
"JASPER JEAN MARIANO! WAIT FOR US!"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Yuri's POV
When Ram closed the door they entered. His men immediately rushed towards us. There were too many of them but Keifer was the only one who could do it.
"Avoid the pipe and baseball bat!" I shouted.
I was sure we wouldn't be able to get up if it hit us.
"Aaaarrggggh!" I shouted as I continued to punch and kick each other.
It was up to whom I hit!
"Yuri! I'm going upstairs! Block them!" Keifer shouted and tried to get closer to the iron stairs.
We followed him and didn't let the others follow him.
"Closer!" Ci-N shouted while happily kicking.
Tss. Really young!
"Why are they taking so long?!" Felix asked.
That's what I wanted to ask too. Why are Section E taking so long? I thought they were excited about the fight.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Keifer's POV
I said it all the way to the door where Ram's people were. Annoying! But I could handle them — I wouldn't back down.
"Get out of the way!" I shouted and tried to kick and punch them.
Some of them fell, but one of them just collapsed to the ground. When I opened the door, Jay-jay was standing near the window.
"Don't!" she shouted.
Something hard suddenly struck my head. My body fell to the ground, and I felt weak all over.
Damn it!
I looked at Jay-jay. She was crying, and her face showed how sorry she felt for me.
No! Please! Don't cry!
My chest tightened because of her tears. I thought she was brave — so why was she crying when she wasn't even the one getting hurt?
Because she's soft-hearted, maybe.
Yeah… right. SHe's soft-hearted.
Ram hit me again with the hard object, this time on my back. The pain made me even more unable to move.
"Stop it… Please…" Jay-jay begged.
No! Don't beg! Don't do that!
"You're begging?! For this guy?!" Ram asked him. "…Are you two dating?!"
Jay-jay shook her head, but I knew Ram wouldn't believe it.
I looked at Jay-jay. SHe stopped crying for a moment and was moving something behind her back. SHe was trying to escape.
Crap! Ram's going to catch her!
"You're a coward!" I forced myself to shout at Ram and tried to stand up, but he kicked me in the stomach, making me fall back down.
"I don't care! You're so damn hard to beat! Even with so many of my men, we couldn't take you down!" Ram yelled angrily.
"B-because you're all weak!"
Ram swung his baseball bat — the same one he'd been using to hit me — and jabbed it into my stomach.
"Ugh!"
"What did you say—"
Suddenly, Jay-jay pushed Ram with all his strength. SHe quickly rushed to my side and tried to help me up.
"No! Don't! You have to run!" I ordered her. But she wouldn't listen. "…Jay! Go! Get out of here!"
"No! I won't leave you here!" she shouted, crying even harder.
I froze. Why? Why are you doing this?
I tried to stand, but Ram suddenly grabbed Jay-jay by the hair.
"Argh! L-let me go!" Jay-jay screamed.
Ram was seething with anger. "You little brat!" he shouted and suddenly slapped Jay-jay across the face.
Jay-jay collapsed to the floor. I could tell she was weakened by Ram's attack.
I couldn't hold back my anger after seeing that. Even though my body felt so heavy, I forced myself up and kicked Ram's knee — but he recovered quickly and struck my leg with his baseball bat.
"You're getting too worked up over this girl!" Ram sneered as he slowly stood up.
For the first time, I felt this helpless. I was so exhausted, I didn't think I could fight anymore.
But then I saw Jay-jay stand up. SHe was right behind Ram, so Ram couldn't see her.
It was like nothing had happened to her. SHe stood up straight, wiping the blood from her lips with the back of his hand.
But something was off. There was no life in her eyes. She stared at Ram — and then suddenly, she smiled.
A smile that looked like she was ready to kill.
Ram noticed my gaze and turned around — just in time for Jay-jay's powerful kick to hit him square in the face.
I thought she'd stop there, but Jay-jay quickly lunged at Ram and started punching him without stopping.
With every punch, blood splattered. I didn't know whose blood it was, but judging by the force of Jay-jay's hits, it was probably Ram's.
Ram had stopped moving, but Jay-jay still wouldn't stop.
"J-jay! That's enough!" I shouted, trying my best to get closer.
She didn't hear me.
"JAY!" I yelled.
She paused for a second, glancing at me — but then went right back to punching Ram.
Despite my trembling legs, I pushed myself forward. Ram's face was covered in blood, his eyes wide open and staring into nothingness.
If Jay-jay didn't stop, she was going to kill him.
"JAY-JAY!" I screamed.
