Shella watched as Alrin turned his entire body toward her. At that moment everything slowed down for her. It was nerve wracking having to wait until his entire body turned. To her it felt like an eternity waiting to look deep into his eyes. She couldn’t take the anticipation; it was eating her up inside. The pain she felt in the pits of her stomach was indescribable. She desperately wanted to tell him, while looking into his eyes, that it was not too late. That she can still be his Aleeyah partner. Shella needed him in her life, to keep her mind from slipping away into despair. She secretly craved for his affections but the struggles she had inside her mind, the immeasurable terror of him ever walking out of her life weighed heavy on her heart.

She held her hand, trying to keep herself still, trying her best not to tremble before him, but it couldn’t be helped. Her whole body and mind were consumed by uncertainty, fear, anxiety, and desperation. The boy she so desperately longed for was standing right in front of her and she wanted to, with every ounce of her dying breath tell him that she wanted to be his and only his. However, she wasn’t so sure about a relationship, but she knew she wanted to be his partner.

She was thinking all of this when he turned around, she wanted to look deep into his eyes and tell him right then and there that she would work twice as hard to be a good partner. She would swear to him that she would work together with him, not against him. Thoughts of that boy Geoni came to mind. She made a fist thinking, “I do not want him to reject me. No…. I-I want Alrin to be happy with me being his partner.”

As Alrin turns around, his entire body slowly morphed into Suci’s body. Then finally his face changed to Suci’s face. Shella’s eyes widen as she gasps. She took two steps back in shock. Suci was smiling, completely overjoyed with everything that was happening.

“ֆ- än…̈n̈e vḧ̈ ̈̈̈ b̈ḧd̈a WḧäknkḦ̈̈̈̈k e ëeg̈uHya yÿf?e ̈ thä̈ ̈ḧ̈̈ ̈̈̈̈̈̈̈eaẅ…s̈i …gḦ̈e…̈…ÿ ̈̈ag̈̈̈ e” Psyëfami Translation

Shella snaps out of the hallucination, staring into her shaky palms in shock. Her breathing quickens as reality slowly sinks in.

“What the….!!!” Shella looks back and realizes that Suci was no longer standing where she was last. Shella’s mind is immediately consumed by rage while she grits her teeth and forms a tight fist. “You are just… J-Just MESSING WITH ME!!!? ARGHHH!!”

“ֆ- ̈̈-̈ ̈̈n ̈ï̈Äö̈ ̈̈̈ elith ̈.- ̈‘̈ẗah ̈Ḧ-ÿ̈ ̈kë t .̈ ed̈̈e-Ieë̈̈s̈äl̈̈-’ ̈a, ”l̈̈as̈ ̈P̈. r̈r̈ ̈ḧe ,msll.” Psyëfami Translation

She mocked Shella. She poked fun at her when she was at her most vulnerable state, trying to imitate her, but saying it as if she was talking to an infant referring to when she was calling out to Alrin. Shella breathes deeply, trying her best to calm her quick beating heart. She grits her teeth, not finding any humor in Suci's taunts.

Suci said all that with a confident smirk on her face. Suci wanted to provoke her. She knew that attacking her feelings for Alrin would do the trick. She knew that talking about her affections for him would push Shella to the edge emotionally.

Shella tries to regulate her breathing, trying to sort through all the emotions she felt all at once. Tears begin to swell up in Shella's eyes.

Her words and illusions were eating away at Shella’s mental state. Shella was on the edge, close to having a panic attack. Both her hands were tight fits. She was full of hurt emotions and rage. Almost immediately, as tears ran down her face, her eyes began brightly glowing an intense crimson color, representing the intensity of her anger.

“ֆ- ̈ë̈̈ë̈ ̈Dä ̈̈ ̈ ̈ var̈̈̈u l ̈̈̈̈.nn̈̈̈̈̈ös̈ ̈suÿ.ïlää ̈̈̈ ̈̈ ̈̈?̈̈̈i ̈e ds̈yhgoy ör̈ ̈̈un̈̈n̈eT n̈ kiÿ̈ẗhogtl̈̈we l̈ ̈ .̈.'ym̈ ̈ ̈pe tei e ts aö̈̈ nl̈̈ ̈̈ah ̈̈ëo.O ̈̈r ̈hll̈rä̈uẗk̈̈y oe. ̈̈ör̈̈t ̈ y ̈ ̈ieëkë,̈mo ̈kl ö ̈he T ̈so yesef̈̈̈ ̈̈d l̈̈cöl̈̈̈̈e ̈̈syn̈̈ ̈ ̈̈̈hüẍẗ̈̈̈rayë.i."

“That is ENOUGH FROM YOU! I do not have red eyes!” Shella thought about it hard. She lifts her hands to look at them. She turned her shaky hands around and looked at her palms. She wondered why they were glowing red. That’s when she realized something cold was on her forehead. She had touched it before but decided to dismiss it. She wanted to touch her forehead again to confirm if any of the things Suci was saying was true. She asked herself, “Why do I have this strange feeling that something is on my forehead? Could it be possible that I do have a stone on my forehead like all these other girls?” Shella quickly dismisses her thoughts and places her focus back on Suci.

“ֆ- m̈e ih r̈sẗed̈f ̈̈eḧ ̈̈i ̈r…̈tr̈̈̈̈ḧ̈ ̈ ̈̈̈tr̈ḦẄn̈ëe ̈ü ë̈o ̈̈vyö̈̈̈l̈eë̈.̈̈eT̈̈ns̈te Ös ̈̈̈̈̈dë̈ä ̈ n̈? nhs a ̈nor̈f ̈ouamooë̈̈ed ̈̈ v. ̈ ̈ ̈k̈v̈ÿäse ̈ ̈n̈Iöë a.̈h ̈̈m a.̈ ̈ü ẅ̈eüy ̈ou ̈ ̈̈hvor̈ I. m̈eÿo,̈ ̈aï̈o ̈̈ö ehor s̈k̈ ̈̈̈̈̈oẗ̈̈̈̈ë ̈ ẗẗhh, ̈ rs̈̈ W l̈̈do ̈̈ä̈̈r̈̈̈ ̈̈ ̈̈̈ ̈ ïcf̈̈uec ẗ̈̈̈ ̈̈hewÿöh n aii amls̈ ̈doaed̈̈̈̈̈̈o nö m̈rr̈̈ g m̈d̈̈ n r ÿlt ̈e ̈.̈ gon̈ët ̈̈̈e nẗ̈l e ̈̈të ̈nḧẗgen̈ wï̈ḧk̈ r̈. ë̈s̈̈ ̈̈o ̈̈̈̈s phnẗ.oḧeoxtö ̈ ä̈ë̈ḧa wëï̈̈…s nëuẗs̈o ̈ï̈̈sfiën̈b̈̈e f̈̈enn̈wnn̈̈lin ḧ̈ö ÿ̈ ̈̈̈̈tḧ̈̈e ̈hä h nspoN̈̈̈̈pm̈̈̈ ̈̈eptc̈d ̈̈ ̈ẗsï̈̈ ̈̈ n̈̈̈e ̈rï̈e tp̈ ̈ o .̈̈.ewn. , r̈ifd̈̈̈̈̈.̈ ̈teïnob ̈ ̈oF̈̈̈d muẗ ï ̈ ̈̈̈̈ ̈ .̈b̈..̈ unö̈̈̈tn̈̈ḧ. cl̈s rat.̈ooyhn ̈̈ẗ̈oeg̈̈̈̈ e ̈ od̈̈̈̈y n̈rold ̈ ö.ü?e.” Psyëfami Translation

Shella shakes her head rejecting everything Suci was saying. “Once again, my eyes are not red! I have no idea what you are even talking about. What stones are you referring to!? I do not get your riddles. I have had enough of your little scare tactics; it will not work! You are only agitating me more!”

Suci raises her arm and elegantly snaps her fingers. The sound of the snap invades Shella’s ears.

Shella lifts an eyebrow, confused as to why Suci said the word ‘handle’ in a strange fashion. Shella gasps as she jumps back from the spot she is currently standing in because she felt the ground beneath her shaking violently. Her instincts kick in and she decides to jump out of the way as fast as she could. Out from the ground, where she was standing, burst a crimson hand with a long snake-like body that trailed behind it. Shellas eyes widened as she saw the hand's palm had a mouth that suddenly opened. Once it did; while sticking out its tongue, the mouth revealed a red eyeball staring straight into her eyes. She was in mid-air jumping back when she caught her first glimpse of the horrifying thing. It all happened for her in slow motion while she held her breath.

The red hand emerged from the ground energetically like a worm plucked fresh from the moist soil, wiggling all around. It kept climbing, soaring high above them, as its long body grew. Soon it towered over her, and its snake-like body stretched higher and higher above her. Shella could hear Suci chuckling wildly as she watched Shella’s expression go from anger to confusion and fright. Shella finally landed on her feet when she jumped back and covered her mouth, gasping while seeing the monstrosity in front of her. To Shella it felt like the eyeball was looking deep into her mind, invading her thoughts, scanning every emotion deep inside her. She felt like the mysterious red eye was demanding her to surrender, to give in, and not resist. It was an eerie sight, something she had never seen before in her life. She could see that the strange red eyeball sat inside the disgusting thing's mouth. The mouth’s tongue was sticking out, flapping all around, taunting Shella as she looked at the hand in terror. She swallows hard as her hands begin to shake. She was frozen in place hyper focused on the hand. It was as if it had her in this hypnotic trance. No matter how hard she tried, she could not look away.

“W-what in the world is that thing!? It is so grotesque! Are you doing this!!?" Shella could not believe what Suci just summoned. It all felt to her like a long nightmare that Shella couldn’t wake up from.

“ֆ- ̈gg!̈̈̈̈̈ltï ̈̈ï̈̈ẗ̈ g̈hfatt o odü t ̈ḧ htr n̈ëf,b̈ ̈ ̈,u,ï̈ẅO ̈n̈rḧy ̈̈̈ḧẅ̈̈ ̈̈̈äsih. ̈̈ï̈ ̈ ̈̈̈mel̈ë!̈̈d ̈̈̈ẅ̈̈̈s… ̈ ̈aI leo natd̈ h ̈ah ̈!d̈ö ̈̈ch ̈mMy ̈y räpl̈ lëẗ̈.̈ äW?dsäayẅ̈n̈̈h sa’̈ kḧ ̈o ̈̈̈yö‘ ̈u dÿ̈ m̈̈ḧ̈̈. n̈̈̈̈saoc r, ë̈b̈r̈̈ Beẗ̈̈̈ë ̈̈edr̈c̈̈̈̈üsaë̈em̈c̈̈̈ḧë̈uv ̈̈e ̈ÿ̈nlsẗ kc̈̈̈, ̈äö̈öḧdc̈fnëu syl ̈os̈.e ̈ü̈̈iï̈oẗ̈s iö̈k ysm̈v̈aaygẅẗ er̈ö̈̈̈̈̈̈̈̈̈̈oië.” Psyëfami Translation

Suci lifts her left hand and places it in front of her face to the left side of her left eye. Her hand started to glow red just like Shella’s hand did. A small chuck of red light flows out of Suci’s hand and travels to the red shadow hand. The energy embeds itself in the hand. It was as if Suci was giving it some of her own aura to animate itself.

Suci has a big grin on her face. Her eyes widened as she looked up toward her summoned creature. As soon as Suci said those words, Shella’s heart sank in her chest because the hand now raced toward her at blinding speeds.

Shella’s heart pounded in her chest as she saw the hand getting closer and closer to her. Almost immediately something in the back of her mind told her to move out of the way. She gulps down air fast and jumps to the side to her left side several feet to avoid the red shadow hand. It was quick thinking on her part. Her reaction was quick enough, just in time before the red shadow hand came crashing down on the spot she was previously standing in. Due to how nervous she was, she slipped, lost her footing and fell to her knees. She quickly lifts her head up after her fall watching the horror unfold in front of her. Although the hand was the size of a normal human hand, it had the incredible strength to crash with such a powerful force onto the ground.

As the red shadow hand crash lands on the spot she was originally standing on, dust, dirt and rocks burst high into the air with unbelieve force. The ground shakes beneath Shella. Shella at that moment knew she couldn’t afford to let that thing near her. She didn’t know what would happen. And most importantly, she was not in the mood to find out what would happen if she let her guard down and let that repulsive red shadow hand get close to her.

Shella immediately got up and on her feet. Suddenly Shella could see the hand frantically dig a hole. It burrowed itself into the ground. It completely disappears into the ground beneath them. The dust and dirt settled but the hand was nowhere in sight.

She gasps wondering what was going on. “Ahh! Where did that disgusting thing go!?” Shella instantly noticed something. She looked at the ground where she was last standing. She could see it, the large gaping hole the red shadow hand left behind. “Uh, u-underground!?” Shella switches her sight to Suci, who was just smiling confidently enjoying the moment, taking it all in.

Shella switched to panic mode. She was breathing hard looking all around wondering where the hand was. She knew it couldn’t be over that easily. She knew Suci was up to something.

The ground beneath her started to shake again. “OH NO!” Shella jumps away from the spot she was standing in and out once again bursts the red shadow hand, kicking up dirt and rocks. Shella back flips away from the hand trying her best to avoid it, all while watching what Suci was doing. She observed her facial expressions and her body language.

“She is just standing there, enjoying the show! Arghhh! I cannot believe this. Calm yourself Shella. Please. Calm yourself. I cannot let this disgusting hand reach me! I have no idea what it will do to me. And I do not want to find out what will happen when it does.” Shella sees Suci with her arms crossed, smiling, laughing, enjoying every moment of Shella’s struggle. Shella knew she had to take advantage of that. It was clear that Suci would not expect an attack from Shella as she tried to dodge the red shadow hand.

The hand dashed once again toward Shella, however, Shella was quick enough to avoid it. She would choose one direction then at the last second make a sharp turn in the opposite direction to confuse the red shadow hand. She was testing it, seeing how it reacts and how it moves. The entire hand and its long snake-like body crash land into the ground after it realizes that it missed her. Shella noticed it would do this each time. She stops in her tracks and places her arms in front of her face blocking any stones and dirt that the red shadow hand kicks up when it digs a massive hole in the ground.

Shella also discovered by observation as she dipped and dodged each of the red shadow hands attacks, that the hand had a mind of its own. By studying Suci’s body language, Shella could see that Suci was not controlling it.

As it slams into the ground it instantly disappears beneath both Suci and Shella. It was a clear pattern of attack that the hand would perform every time it missed reaching Shella. But the longer the chase dragged out, the closer the hand would get to Shella each time.

Suci watches comfortably from a distance. She’s laughing and smiling overjoyed to see Shella dealing with her latest challenge. Suci knew Shella was watching her. On every dodge attempt Suci can see Shella’s eyes hyper focused on her. Suci was confident that Shella would be too frightened to try anything different. To her it was only a matter of time before the red shadow hand took care of Shella.

“ֆ- ̈̈̈në̈Idbẗ̈g̈Hs̈ẗ̈̈̈̈a ̈ea.̈t. m r̈̈ öm ̈̈gẗmöï r. hn̈r̈o oülḧ̈̈̈̈öẗr̈s̈m̈̈̈ft ̈t ä̈̈̈̈ ̈̈eÏ̈ ̈̈̈ẗb̈̈ s̈̈g amuos̈̈j̈̈̈ye ̈aeẗk̈̈slẗu nm̈öa.̈äc,mdd,n̈̈̈ ̈ ee. l̈̈̈nöï̈̈äa ors̈!Hhö g rü ̈d…̈̈̈̈i ̈̈̈r̈̈aẗtëb eë̈v̈̈r̈̈ẗ̈hn̈tlr̈.̈ë.̈a ̈̈̈̈ ̈hesä!al.ähe ḧug̈ä̈Ḧeoö̈̈̈öt ̈l̈ ḧ.” Psyëfami Translation

Suci laughs maniacally.

“I cannot keep dodging and jumping out the way like this. I have to do something, if not…. it will….. eventually get me.” The anxiety Shella felt inside as the red shadow hand would get closer to her was immeasurable. Her heart was pounding in her chest, but she wouldn’t let the fear stop her from observing everything that was going on around her. Shella decides that enough is enough, she could not keep dodging and avoiding attacks forever. Now was the time, she needed more than ever to go on the offensive and attack. She could not afford to waste any more of her time and precious energy. Energy was a vital factor in all of this. The lower her energy got, the more it would eat away at her mental state.

After dodging, flipping, running, and jumping out of the way several times repeatedly, Shella was starting to breathe harder. Her face was red hot, covered in sweat. She soon noticed she was slowing down. It was all becoming too much. The red shadow hand just kept coming at her at the same pace. It wouldn’t slow down, and it wouldn’t stop at nothing to get to her. It was always a guessing game trying to figure out where underneath her it was going to pop up next. Shella just had to stop herself from running and feel the shaking from the ground beneath her after it retreated into the ground below. The shaking was her cue to move out of the way, but she only had seconds to react in time. She knew it was under her feet the very second she’d stop to take a break.

To Shella, the most logical option was to attack Suci, the one behind the attack. She thought, if she could stop Suci, the red shadow hand would stop chasing after her. As the red shadow hand retreated underground, Shella knew this was her chance. She was just a few feet away from Suci. She did that on purpose. Shella made a mad dash to her, as quickly as she could, running with everything she had.

Shella decides she’s going to throw a punch. She grits her teeth as her hands begin to glow an intense crimson color. Suci was looking forward, not even looking at Shella who was charging straight at her from her left side. It was as if Suci was in her own world. As Shella ran up to her and got ready to punch her with her right fist, Suci shifted her body's position just slightly, but her facial expression did not change. Shella instantly noticed this shift, hesitated, stopped her momentum, and jumped back. Shella gulps and is shaking. Suci’s unpredictable nature rattled her. Suci’s unexpected movement messed with her plan of attack. Shella was overcautious, trying her best to not make any mistakes.

“I cannot read her, her movements, her intentions! She's messing up my concentration! I am freaking out!"

Shella was always hyper focused on people’s body language and could figure out their intentions almost immediately. But Suci was a different story. Not only could she not sense her aura but her posture, her facial expressions and her body movements was a new challenge for Shella. It was pushing Shella to her breaking point to figure out what Suci was thinking and what she would do next. The illusions, the lies, the taunts, the physical abuse, and the toxic behavior, deep down Shella hated the unpredictability of it all. But she was drawn to the challenge, and the mystery that is Suci. It was mentally straining to figure out the enigma that is Suci’s persona. Shella knew that her untamed nature and her unhinged psychotic episodes made her extremely dangerous.

“DAMN IT!” Shella says, as she immediately realizes her mistake. She had focused too much of her time on trying to attack Suci. The red shadow hand was about to burst out of the ground where she was standing. She jumped out of the way before it emerged from the ground beneath her. She felt the ground under her shake violently as the red shadow hand was about to burst out of the ground.

The ground shakes as the creature bursts forward. The hand was only inches away from touching her as she jumped back. She was in mid-air but could feel the aura of the red shadow hand as it passed by her. Her eyes widen as it zips on by, away from her. She grits her teeth, but she is relieved that it didn’t touch her that time. It was too much of a close call. “It did not touch you Shella, it did not touch you! You are okay……. Arghhh……. for now.”

Shella’s heart was racing but as the red shadow hand slammed back into the ground, she decided to take a deep breath and once again focus her sights on Suci. She made a beeline to Suci again, another attempt to attack her directly. She dashes toward Suci with renewed determination. “NOW, now is my chance again!”

She felt like this was it, this was her only opportunity, she needed to use it wisely. This was her only chance to attack Suci back. She charges forward. “ARAhhhhhhh!!”

Shella runs quickly toward Suci straight on. Suci watches her with her arms still crossed. As Shella swings, she notices her fist glows red again, but Suci quickly uncrosses her arms, catches her fist, and holds on to it tightly. Suci then throws three fatal hyper fast punches of her own with her other hand, bruising Shella’s eye. Suci lets go of Shella’s hand right at the same time the red shadow hand bursts out of the ground near Shella. Shella with lightning reflexes shifts her body's position to avoid it by mere seconds with her left eye closed after getting punched. The red shadow hand nearly touches Shella as she jumps out of the way, away from Suci and the red hand that emerged from the ground right next to her.

As her heart was pounding in her throat, Shella felt like time slowed down as she watched the red shadow hand dash by her.

“ֆ- c̈̈̈̈ Iyeuẅ̈,l̈ ̈ÿoä ̈̈̈tg a ̈̈sïy ̈ẗ̈̈en.̈ rwä̈ e.̈̈,̈̈ ̈ ̈̈̈M̈̈̈r̈n öc ̈̈̈ ̈f̈tÿdïïẗüd̈̈rö̈ḧ̈̈̈ytẅÿ ̈oowḦq̈n̈a ÿ̈sr ẍ̈̈ob r̈ n l̈f̈km̈uo euaü.̈uëo.” Psyëfami Translation

Shella feels the sting from the punch to her eye. Tears began to swell up on that eye. As she jumped backwards, she placed her hand over her eye trying to bear the pain. Her hand is shaking as she covers her bruised eye. She breathes hard, listening to Suci talk to her.

“Ha. What is the problem? Your scary little pet hand cannot keep up with me!?” Shella forms a half smile, but her lips are trembling with fear. Shella was mocking Suci but deep down she knew she was hardly making any progress jumping around from one spot to the other to avoid the hand.

Suci did not find Shella’s comment amusing. All Suci did was smile because she knew she had Shella on the run. Suci knew Shella didn’t have a plan to get out of the current situation she was in.

Shella forms a tight fist as she realizes Suci was not going to reply to her comment. Shella then gulps down air as she sees Suci elegantly raise her right hand in the air. Suci’s eyes and hand begin to glow red. The stone on her forehead shines a bright crimson color as Suci instantly and effortlessly forms a sphere of red energy. The glowing ball hovers slightly above her palm. She then lowers her hand and holds the ball of energy with both hands. She proceeds to compress the sphere into a much smaller ball fusing more and more of her aura to it. Suci makes a low deep guttural sound as she exerts herself trying to form the energy. Her hands begin to shake as she tries to contain the immense pressure of hot energy. Bright flashes of red color keep bursting from the ball as a concentration of superheated energy takes shape in her hands.

“Just like…. like grandpa. She, Suci, just formed a sphere of light, a sphere of red energy…. But she’s adding her aura to it….? Thus, increasing the heat of the sphere…. Yes…..” Shella was talking to herself, trying to figure everything out in her head what Suci was doing. “It will then….. Oh, I see….. increasing its destructive potential. Super-heated aura is more powerful. I see now.” Shella observed every motion Suci made. Once Suci is done compressing and re-shaping the red sphere, she raises her gaze to look at Shella with a sinister grin on her face. She chuckles for a bit.

Shella removes her hand from her bruised eye and tries to open it to get herself ready for what was going to happen next. Her vision was blurry at first but eventually her eye was able to open after the three brutal hits.

As Shella stands there watching Suci, waiting for her next move, she couldn’t help but feel completely hopeless in her current situation. Shella forms a fist out of frustration. “Arghh!! IF YOU ARE GOING TO THROW THAT AT ME, DO IT NOW!! DO NOT MAKE ME WAIT!!” Shella has had enough. She was at her breaking point. But as soon as she said that she felt something. “NO!! Ahhhh!!!” Shella gasps and jumps out of the way. She had forgotten all about the red shadow hand.

The hand bursts out of the ground beneath her. Shella jumps forward and tucks her body to roll on the ground. When she rolls forward once, she goes on to a full sprint trying her best to get out of the way of the red shadow hand. The hand was only inches away from her, just about to touch her right leg. At that instant she decided to jump back to get away from it, she had no other choice. That’s when immediately Suci saw the right opportunity to throw the red sphere of energy toward her. It was the perfect moment, when Shella was preoccupied with the red shadow hand.

Suci throws the sphere at Shella with everything she's got. The red sphere spins rapidly, careening toward Shella at an incredible speed all while Shella was still in the air jumping away from the red shadow hand. Shella’s eyes widened as the sphere raced toward her. Flashes of her grandfather’s training rush through her mind. Her heart pounds in her chest as she assesses in her mind her options. But time was running out. As she dodged the red shadow hand, the bright red sphere was getting closer to her. With the red shadow hand retreating to the ground below, her sight was now fully focused on the red sphere flying toward her.

Shella had no choice but to shift her body's position to face the red energy coming at her. She instinctively reaches forward just like before, when she trained with her grandfather and grabbed the sphere with both hands. The energy pushes her back, her feet finally touching the ground after her jump to avoid the red shadow hand. She holds her ground and keeps her body weight equal and balanced. Soon her body stopped moving back and she had the sphere in her hands. The momentum of the sphere came to a complete halt. She couldn’t believe it. Her eyes widen as she breathes hard. She had it, she had the red sphere in her hands. The energy didn’t burn her, cause any pain, or discomfort. She knew that as long as she focused and kept the energy balanced, it would not explode in her face. She then looked up at Suci, who looked confused then astonished.

Something then instantly snapped within Shella’s mind. She decided she would throw the sphere back at her. To her it made the most sense, to give Suci a taste of her own medicine. Shella steps forward and throws the red sphere back at Suci with incredible force.

"AaaHHHHhhahhhhhh!!"

Suci looked agitated as the red sphere raced toward her. When the bright energy got close enough to her, Suci just shifted her body's position slightly to the left and let the sphere crash on the ground behind her. She couldn’t be bothered with doing the same thing that Shella did, catch the sphere and send it back toward her. She concluded that it wouldn’t work anymore. Shella already knew her plan of attack at that point. Being predictable was not something Suci was fond of. To Suci it was just a minor inconvenience to have to dodge her own attack. The explosion of red energy brightened up the area around them. The glow of red consumed Shella’s sight. She blocks her eyes with her arm from the powerful bright light.

Suci’s expression now changes to a smile. She begins to clap. Shella grits her teeth frustrated, realizing that it was going to take a lot more effort to land a single blow on Suci.
