Demonic Beauty (Akali x Evelynn)

Demonic Beauty

Cheers and hollers echoed throughout the surrounding area of the abandoned warehouse as the wild-haired freestyler dropped the mic and mockingly shrugged her shoulders at the guy she just finished roasting. Right across her on the platform she was performing on, her opponent was speechless and was unable to think of anything else to shoot back at her.

The guy was known as a master of roasting people based from what Akali had heard, but clearly, she was far better than him. The recent rap battle she had won was proof of that. To rub salt on the other's wounded ego, Akali winked and flipped the bird before turning away and stepping off the makeshift stage where the rap battle took place.

Winking and nodding at the people that praised her on her way out of the warehouse, Akali felt like she had won another medal for destroying another freestyler. Her name was becoming known little by little and the videos of her crushing people with her rhymes have been spreading throughout the internet like wildfire.

Laughing to herself and at her accomplishments, Akali withdrew her phone from her pocket to check whatever it had received while she was busy. She had been feeling the piece of tech vibrate in her pocket ever since she left her apartment. The two bedroom unit was a space that she shared with her cousin, Irelia, who wholeheartedly disapproved with her late night rap battles.

In her entire family, no one supported her with her rapping. Sure, Irelia encouraged the concept of rapping itself, but like her parents, attending street events concerning rap battles weren't favored, especially those that're held at night. Her parents fully despised rapping due to the fact that it wasn't ladylike at all. They wanted Akali to be like Irelia, who practiced traditional dances as a hobby.

"This is why you don't have a boyfriend!" Irelia had once told her before she had left their apartment a couple of weeks ago.

Akali shook her head at the ten missed calls she received from Irelia and three from her parents. She read the messages she had gotten and lightly scoffed at the warnings her relatives gave her.

All of them were apparently afraid something terrible was going to happen to Akali, which irked the latter a tad bit. She felt like the fact that she mastered various types of martial arts practiced in the family was nothing in the eyes of others. Skilled in self-defense and hand-to-hand combat, Akali could surely take down whoever tried hurting her during the evening events she regularly attended.

Before Akali could even think about what to reply to the current message she had opened, distant red and blue lights came from down the main road leading to the entrance of the warehouse. It was the cops, probably there to end the secret gathering.

Alarm bells rang in her head and nearly deafened her the second she realized that the cruisers skidded to a halt a fair distance in front of her. Cussing under her breath, Akali spun around and sprinted towards the back of the warehouse.

Shouts and demands for her to halt her retreat was disregarded. Adrenaline began pumping in her veins as she made a mad dash towards a much busier part of the city. Behind her, she can hear one determined cop pursuing her, so she swerved from one alley to another to try and shake him off her trail.

Due to the speed of her running, she was unable to turn properly when she exited one particular alley. The momentum of her run caused her to be thrown forward and in the midst of it, she was unfortunate enough to also lose her footing.

"No...!"

SCREECH!

BEEP!

THUD!

And suddenly, pitch black.
