Sophia And Karina - Returning From Hell

"Ugh, where am I?" Sophia said softly. She slowly opened her eyes, and only saw the ceiling lights of a room. She didn't know that she was taken here by the paramedics after her brutal match with Karina. This is a medical room, a place for injured people to rest, and it looks like she was the only one here. She soon realized what happen before, that match with Karina. Her eyes widened at the thought of that, and she quickly got up, but only winced in pain. She was still hurt. Her head was bandaged to stop the horrible wound she received from Karina's guitar. She then slowly look around on her bed, half-awake. Even her eyes are half-opened. She turned to the side and also saw Karina right beside her on another bed, resting and sleeping for now, being the only other person in the room. She then fell back down to her own bed to rest a little more, realizing this was indeed the medical room. "Damn, that was a brutal match..." She said, putting one of her hand on her forehead while continuing to look up at the ceiling.

Karina had a few bandages around her head and even around her eye but nevertheless she was doing okay, her body just needed to rest as much as her mind needed to, that last blow had really set her back a few notches. She remained asleep for a long while, a glass of water and a painkiller on the desk besides her for whenever she needed it, it did seem that the Era of Hell leader was pretty much out of it.

Sophia continued to remain still on the bed, still looking at the ceiling before one of the paramedic girl knocked on the door and came in. Sophia looked up, much to the pain it caused her. However, she doesn't want the paramedic girl to worry about her, so she tried her best to hide the pain. When she looked up, the girl was carrying Karina's guitar. "Hey, I see you are awake." The girl said, as she walked over to Sophia. "Y-Yeah, just barley." Sophia replied back to the girl weakly. She then watched as the girl placed the guitar right beside Karina. The girl then turned her attention to Sophia. "That was some brutal match you had. It made all of us worry when we try to fix the wounds you and Karina got."

Sophia shook her head slightly up and down as an answer for yes. She then asked: "Hey, who won the match?" "Well, it was actually a draw. Both of you were completely unconscious. But anyways, both of you are ok. You two just need to rest to recover." The paramedic girl replied back. She then nodded her head and left since her business is finished. After she left, Sophia just dropped back onto her bed. "Tch, so it was a draw..." She then turned to Karina. "I envy you Karina, you and your guitar. It makes me sick..."

Karina suddenly rolled to the side, her arm dropping over the side of the bed and let her arm gently cling against her guitar, as if afraid to lose it. Even during her sleep, she knew where her guitar was. Still.. Karina was so spend from the rough match that slep was the only thing that seemed to calm her down, it even made the terrible heel look rather cute and innocent, the ribbons in her hair were removed so her hair was sprawled around since they were free. Her fingers gently stroked over the strings of her guitar though they made no sound, resting upon her side and facing Sophia though completely obivious of her current position because of her current sleep state.

Sophia was quite curious. It seems that Karina seemingly values her guitar over her life. The thought of that scared her, imagining Karina getting so dark, deadly and serious if she lost her guitar, or worse, getting damaged. With the length between the two beds so short, Sophia decided to observe and maybe touch the guitar. She never touched one in her life, so it would be nice for her just to get a feel of what it is really like to hold a guitar. But for the first time, she was hesitantly trying to touch the guitar, fearing of what Karina would do if she noticed. But she needs to risk something here, so she attempted to touch Karina's guitar...

Karina merely stayed silent when her guitar was touched, aslong as it was in her grasp she didn't no if it was touched or not.. Karina suddenly turned to lay on her back once more, releasing a soft groan as she slowly started to weak up, her fingers pressing against the cold exterior of the guitar, her eyeslids fluttering as she slowly started to open them, her red pupils immidiatly changing, trying to get a fix on her blurry view, staring at the ceiling while her other hand moved up to touch the side of her head.

"Shit!" Sophia thought. She thinks that Karina woke up because she noticed that someone has tampered with her guitar. She quickly brought her hand back to herself and keep herself occupied to decrease suspicion. So she decided to look at the clock. She wondered what time it is, and how much time has passed since their match. She realized that 2 hours passed. The many thoughts that ran through her head instead hurted her head. She quickly winced in pain again as she moved her hand to rest on her forehead. It seems that Karina's guitar was so strong, it even managed to injure her dense and thick skull. She needed to keep notes of that in future matches with her.

She then turned her head once more to look at Karina. "Karina, are you awake? Are you feeling ok?" She asked, just in case if she was really awake.

Karina brought both her hands up to her face now, rubbing it very gently before she tried to sit up on the bed, not really one to rest for long though it was obviously that Karina's eye flinched closed, being in alot of pain still and bit her bottom lip to silence herself from any cries. Her head tilted to the side though when she heard Sophia's voice, glaring over at her and then looked down at the many bandages on her body.

" Do I look okay? Idiot.. "

It seemed Karina was back to being her heelish self, looking down to stare at her guitar, which was cleaned from the blood that had covered it, a smirk upon her face as she remember how well she slammed it against Sophia's head the first time.

"Hmph. Well, consider it another payback for smashing your guitar against my head. Seriously, that really messed up my head that I can even still feel the pain during that time." Sophia replied back. She then looked back at the ceiling again, still thinking, yet hurting. "So, how about my offer? You know, helping your Era Of Hell? Though I'm still reluctant, I decided that I want to do it, for now." She said, continuing to lay down on her bed.

" And when will you betray us? Hmm? "

Karina chuckled, almost darkly while she stared at the ceiling, her hand grippig the hilt of the guitar, forcefully but sowly pulling the guitar up and onto her stomach, wrapping her arms around it and hugging it gently against it, as if it was her baby. Her fingers gently pressed and stroked over the shiny cords of her guitar, closing her eyelids halfly to stare rather boredly.

" ..I told you to submit but you wouldn't, so you earned it. "
