Vampire Goddesses

The Trio

Lisa

"Let's go." Seige said excitedly as she hopped on her bike.

"Just make sure that we will go home early, I'm not allowed to stay out too late because Dad knows that it's my rest day and he might wonder why I came home late." I said as I started trampling my bike.

"Fine fine, after the trio's fight, we'll go home immediately." She said irritably before looking on her right side, left and behind us. "Clear." She said, I nodded at her before taking turns in one dark alley and I flicked on my mini flashlight that was attached to my bike. When we arrived at the end, I turned left again in a much darker alley than the previous one.

In the end of the dark alley, we can see a lot of lights coming from different cars parked in front of the small house. We stopped and hopped off of our bike and we pushed it through the bike's parking space. We made sure that it's securely locked before making our way into the small house.

At first you would think this is just a normal small house, but it has a door leading to the bottom where various illegal activities took place, example of the dance battle being played at the moment, big money is betting on every fight and there are even different types of drugs, so it's really no surprise that the place sometimes being raid by the police, but it is really amazing, because we never find out that the owner of this place was caught, nor did anyone know him.

Every time the police will raid this place, they're making sure to arrest all of those who are involved in the illegal activities, but if you're just an audience, the cops will ignore you, but even though you're just an audience, it doesn't mean that you're safe, because sometimes, there's a bunch of asshole who will act like you are one of them, they would point a finger and say that you are a dealer or a buyer of the drugs or anything else that is belong in illegal activities.

"It's packed." I shouted closer to Seige's ear, I had to shout because of the loud music coming from speakers all over the place.

"Of course! It's the trio's impact! " She shouted back with a wide and proud smile plastering on her lips and she pulled me closer to her. "Let's go upstairs so we can watch it clearly."

"Can we still go there? There's an excessive crowd upstairs!"

"We can! Byulie messaged me that she's already upstairs!" I nodded to her in response because I got tired of shouting, my throat started to hurt, the music are too loud, if you're not yelling, you won't understand what they were saying. "There she is!" Seige pointed at Byulie and the latter waved at us when she saw us.

"Yow Lisa! Long time no see!" She greeted me as we approached her and hugged me.

"I just had my free time." I replied, thankfully I don't need to shout as Byulie lowered the volume of the music when she saw us. She's the DJ in this place and we met her in a dance competition and she was also the one who told us about this place.

"I know why you are here." She smiled meaningfully as she wiggled her eyebrows teasingly.

"What else, this dumbass wants to see those trio." I said and wrapped my arm around Seige's shoulder.

"Would I miss this opportunity? it's one of those rare moments and it's worth watching." Seige said enthusiastically.

Byulie and I exchanged glances and laughed. "A little reminder ok? We can just only admire them." Byulie said and patted Seige's shoulder before turning inside the DJ booth. "It's starting, enjoy Sei!"

"Of course!" Seige replied, and I shook my head as I bend over my body and rest my elbow to the fence, clasping my hand together while looking down at the square ring, where the dance battle will be held.

Once again the music grew louder with the loud cheers of people as seven men emerged from a door and climbed up into the ring. Seriously, I almost became deaf because of the noise. I'm just thankful that I'm already used to this kind of loud music.

"The trio will beat them easily." Seige shouted in my ear.

I looked at the seven men having conversation on the side of the ring. Apparently they were also known because of the loud noise they had when they came out so I guess they are also good dancers. "They look good too, they're famous." I said.

Seige looked at me before laughing which caused my forehead to furrow. "Buddy, you obviously haven't seen the trio masquerade how to dance." She said while shaking her head.

To be honest, I never did, nor did I even saw them, the day they've joined the fight, it was the day I stopped dancing and I stopped going here, so I've never really seen them. "Holy f*****g s**t! Look Lisa!" Seige screamed and point at the three women who came out from the other door, with a much louder cheered than the previous group from the crowd. "f**k! They are really so hot!"

"Your gay ass is screaming Seige!" I teased and hit her shoulder lightly.

"Look at that! Just their body alone is already a dish! "

"Hey! Since when did you become a pervert?! Stop it, they might hear you!" I chastised her, she looked at me ludicrously at what she had heard from me. After all, it was so strange that they could hear us because of the music here and the loud applause of the audience. I laughed softly and shifted my gaze to look back at the three women climbing inside the ring.

In fact, Seige was telling the truth, they are really hot wearing black crop tops and black shorts. They are also wearing masks so that you can only see their eyes.

They look so mysterious and according to Seige's story every day that was created by God and without failing talking about the Trio. No one knows them, just one day, they suddenly appeared and beat every good dancer here in the underground. Even the other dancers quit dancing because they can't accept that three mysterious women beat them.

There were others who can't accept the lost and they'll plan to wait for the three women outside so they can take their revenge but no one will able to ever see them after the fight, they don't know where they are, but the fact that there is only one entrance and it's also the exit, to this place. It's still a big mystery up to this day that once they won the battle, they'll be gone with the prize without any trace. Seige had asked that to Byulie, but even her didn't know.

As I stared at the three girls, one of them suddenly raised her head and looked at our spot. "Damn Lis, one of the trio is looking at us!" Seige shouted as she shook my shoulder abruptly.

It was as if I was nailed on my spot as I looked back at her, I'm sure and I can't be wrong, she's staring at me, straight into my eyes. I felt strange in those stares, her eyes seemed to absorb my strength, as if everyone around us was gone, as well as Seige that I know is just standing beside me and talking to me but I couldn't hear her anymore, all of a sudden I felt my knees weaken and I started to sweat a lot.

I couldn't take my eyes off of her, thankfully she was grabbed by the shoulder of her one companion and whispered to her ear, causing her to tear her gaze away from me.

"Hey! Are you okay?! Why are you so pale?" Seige worriedly asked me and lay flat her palm on my forehead. It snapped me out from astonishment and blink my eyes rapidly.

"I-i'm fine." I assure her and try to adjust my breathing because I feel like every wisp of the wind knocked out from my lungs.

"Are you sure? Do you want us to go home?"

I shook my head as an answer. "Don't worry, I'm fine. I just felt hungry, because you ate my sandwich earlier. " I said jokingly to stop her from worrying.

"There are stalls down there, do you want me to buy you something? And wait, may I remind you? You willingly gave me your sandwich but now you're blaming me?"

"Dumbass! I don't, I was just kidding. Wait, I'll just buy something, I also need water." She nodded at me as she laughed and I went down to buy some water because all of a sudden, I got thirsty and felt my throat become dry after I got pierced with venomous glare by one of the trio.

As soon as I paid for the water, I immediately opened it and drank it as I returned my gaze into the ring, I nearly spit the water on the person who passed by in front of me when I noticed that she was looking at me again, but this time the three of them were looking at me, the two were talking at the back as their head moving and leaning into each other's head, one is tall and blonde, while the other one had her hair in crimson and she's the smallest among them, while the other one in front of them, who was looking at me earlier, her hair is jet black and she had big boobs unlike the other two.

Yeah, I'm not that wholesome either.

I immediately looked away and rushed back to my place earlier. When I got to Seige, she's talking to a guy that made my forehead wrinkled. I never thought that Seige also has known people here besides Byulie.

"Oh she's here." Seige said when she noticed me approaching them. "Lis, this is Jack, my classmate."

I just nodded my head to greet him, as I was not accustomed to talking to anyone other than Seige, Byulie and Mizaki. "You seems familiar, have we met before?" He asked as he stared at my face.

"You probably know her, she's my best friend." Seige chimes in and she wrapped her arm on my shoulder.

"You're that Nerd?!" He exclaimed.

"Wow, Jack, aren't you up for it to be heard for everyone?" Seige sarcastically asked and smacked Jack's head.

"Sorry, I didn't recognize her right away. Wow! I didn't expect that you were hiding beauty behind those glasses. " I laughed at Jack's words but didn't respond because Seige hit him in his head for the second time.

"Stop hitting on my best friend! She likes women, just stop thinking that you have a chance at her. "

"I didn't say anything?" Jack defended himself as he scratched his nape.

We didn't respond again and shifted our gaze below when the MC announced that the fight would start. The two groups are already standing in the middle as the MC tells them the rules, but this battle is actually NO RULES! It's a freestyle dance battle, all you have to do is show your moves and let the audience decide who will win.

"This is interesting, let's see how the trio would protect their crown." Jack said, causing us to look at him.

"What are you saying? Of course they will." Seige said with certainty.

"Nah.. Have you seen those 7 dude danced?" Seige shook her head in response, and I turned my eyes to look at the seven guys. "They were the champions in World Dance 2019."

I snapped my head back at him when I heard what he said. "For real?" I asked in disbelief and he nodded at me.

"Wow." The only word that came out from us and we both looked down again.

Seige and I dreamt of joining the World Dance competition, it is one of the biggest tournaments where you will find the best dancers in the world, and if you became the champion, you can be recognized all over the world.

"Now I am doubting if my girls would beat those dudes." Seige said and felt discouraged by what she has learned.

We saw the MC move to the side, the two groups settled down again at both ends of the ring and the 7 guys were leading the dance battle. The girl in the middle looked up to us. It's as if she was telling us to 'watch-us-beat-these-guys' look. The three of us exchanged glances at each other as if we were in panic. But we returned our gaze down when the first group started dancing..

God! They are really good, their moves are synchronized, their body's flip flops are really impressive, until one of them moved in front and did a freestyle dance, mocking the girls with nasty moves, but the trio seemed not affected and they just stood there and stood in a triangular position.

After a few minutes, it's the trio's turn to dance, the music changed and people screamed. I was amazed at what I saw, no wonder they are the reigning champions in the underground. Their moves are all on points, the sharpness and at the same time the swag are all in their movements. I've never seen such a good dancer like them, they all got the moves!

"Damn it! I was blown away by their moves!" Seige screamed at me, I couldn't even look at her because I couldn't take my eyes off of the three dancing girls, that if I ever had tear my gaze away from them I would regret that I had missed one step.

After that, it's the men's turn again and the scene became that way, they would dance alternately, the audience would be wild, and when the man did his break dance, the audience became more wild.

"Yah! don't touch her!" Seige shouted when the man did a 360 flip and after that, he pulled the girl to her waist and pinned it to his body.

I felt a sudden annoyance at what that guy did, I clenched my fists and bit my lip hard as I glared down at them, but to my surprise, the girl raised her head and looked at me. "Why are you letting that jerk touch you?!" I said lividly, as if I am telling that directly to her.

"You're right– oops!" Seige's words were interrupted when the woman suddenly pushed the guy when the latter tried to remove her mask and he stumbled on the floor, then the girl looked up again. "Ok, what the f**k is going on? Why do I feel like she's been looking at us since earlier?" Seige asked frustratingly.

I noticed that too, I can prove that they are looking at us because when I go down to buy water, their eyes just keep following me wherever I go. Then this girl is looking at us right now again.

The man stayed down after he got pushed away as the audience cheered, the other man rushed in, but the bouncers quickly stopped them and stood in the middle before they could reach the trio. I saw the tall blonde holding the girl with jet black hair on her shoulder and whispering something in her ear. She nodded before glancing at me again. I can't see what's behind that mask, but I know and I'm sure she's smiling because of how her eyes turn into a crescent.

Due to the chaos, the fight was stopped and it was decided to ask the audience who wins the match tonight. The men's group got first, there's a loud scream that made you think the whole place would collapse, and you can notice the smirk on the seven guys as they gazed mockingly at the trio.

They waited for scream to stopped before the other group pointed out, I immediately covered my ears when the cheers are much louder than the previous one, loud roar of the audience made the underground to vibrates, the ground I am stepping is also trembling, and those two next to me were also screaming from the top of their lungs that their nerves in their neck were about to burst.

Eventually the trio masquerade are still declared the champion. The money prize is in a bag and given to them, the smallest took the bag before they started descending, but just before they could fully get down, they turned around again and waved their hands at me.

"What the actual f**k?" Jack and Seige both exclaimed and they whipped their heads at me at the same time.

"Wow idol! The trio waved at you?!" Jack said in disbelief.

"Maybe not, maybe they're waving at their fans." I said as I still followed the three mysterious girls with my gaze. "And would you stop from assuming? People don't seem to like it, look at the way they look at us." I rebuked them because I can feel the disgusted gaze they are being thrown at me.

"Are you crazy? They never interact to fans! Just now! As in now and in our spot?!" Seige said and grabbed my face, which cause me to tear my gaze on the three women. "I should have bring you with me every time they'll have a fight! You're so lucky Lisa!" She added and hugged me tightly.

I felt like someone was looking at me so I turned my eyes to the trio. I almost got choked when I noticed the deathly glares of the woman shooting at me and I immediately pushed Seige who was shocked at what I'd done and followed what I was looking at. It is then that the woman who was staring at me got pulled up and they entered the door from where they had gone before.

What's that? I asked myself in my thoughts before we decided to go, we bid our goodbye to Byulie before finally going down, we had some compatriots coming out from underground, maybe, just like us, they were here just to watch the trio and then when the fight was over they would go home.

"Seriously, the fight is pretty good, if only that guy didn't touch the girl, for sure, things are going to get better." Jack said after we stepped outside the small house.

"I want to break that guy's arm, how dare him to touch my baby!" Seige said angrily as we walked to where our bike was parked.

"That's just unavoidable." I said while removing the chain on my bike.

My forehead twitches when I feel like someone is looking at me again, I wander my eyes around and notice in a dark part of the parking lot, there are three people standing there and facing me. I couldn't see their faces because they were standing at the place where it's too dark and the only part of their body visible, are their feet.

"You all right Lis?" Seige asked and grabbed me by the shoulder to turn me and faced her.

"A-as if someone is looking at me." I said worriedly and looked at three people again but they were no longer there. "I might be just tired, let's go home. Daddy is coming home. "I said dismissively while shrugging off the thought of those three people.

She just nodded and we both climbed aboard on our bike and bid our goodbye to Jack, he has his own car so we left first. As we made our way back home, it still felt like there's someone looking at me but I didn't pay attention to it and didn't even tell Seige so she wouldn't have to get worried about it.

I just felt safe when we got home because I lost the feeling of someone following us. "Mom! I'm home!" I shouted loudly and quickly climbed up into my room and changed my clothes. I shut the door behind me. I heard the door open from the main door. I'm so lucky that I was ahead of my Dad.

After I changed my clothes, I stepped out of the room and saw my Dad sitting on the couch as he leaned his head on his back and put his arms around his head. "Dad, you okay?" I asked as I descended the stairs.

He opened his eyes and looked at me. "I'm fine but a little tired. There was a visitor coming to the Mizaki tonight so I cooked a lot."

"Who?" I asked as I went to our kitchen to get him some coffee. I can still see him even when I'm in the kitchen because it's an open kitchen.

"Anna's friends, unfortunately I didn't have the chance to see them because it was time for me to leave before they arrived."

"Where are they from?" I asked again and handed him the coffee.

"I don't know, I didn't had the chance to ask as well because I'm too busy in cooking." He answered before taking a sip from the coffee that I gave him. "Oh by the way, Anna is going to attend at your university for this year, and she told me that she's excited to be with you and Seige."

"Really? That's good, we will meet another acquaintance in the university."

Anna is one of my two friends, she's also the only child of the Mizaki's where my Dad is their head chef. We met when she was celebrating her birthday and Dad tagged me along, I also took Seige with me and we met her there and became friends.

Anna is kind, she's down to earth and she prefers to be friends with people like us who are just ordinary people compared to those rich people like her. But when we were in high school her family sent her to Japan to continue her studies. She just came back and now that we are in the same University, Seige will be glad if she finds out.

"Aren't you going to sleep? It's late and you need to wake up early tomorrow." Dad said before he got up from the couch with his coffee in his hands.

"Alright then, I'll go ahead." I bid, I kissed him first on the cheek before running upstairs and entering inside my bedroom. I slowly closed my bedroom door because Mom might wake up in her sleep, and it seems that she was already in deep sleep because she didn't answer me when I announced that I arrived at home.

I was about to lay my body in my bed but I got startled when I heard a loud shattering glass on the floor and daddy's loud cry from their bedroom.

"Lisa! Your mom!"
