why are you bleeding like a girl

'i am Orion'

Rowan's pupils greatly shook, his heart beat accelerated and he felt a sudden rush of emotions. But upon seeing how the girl before him was eagerly waiting to see his reaction, he forcefully bit his tongue and clenched his fists in anger.

He had already come to this conclusion himself when his uncle had told him about what Remi had said when she hit him. It would only make sense if she was Orion and everything else she did it resembled Orion alot. So when he finally heard it from her lips he felt that it was true, only when he calmed down and thought about it with a rational mind did he realised that the girl might only be telling him what he wanted to hear. This made him very angry and embarrassed, it was very rare for Rowan to feel either of these emotions, one could only guess how angry he truly was.

"Do you think this is a joke? Does it seem funny to you?" Rowan snapped as he held her hands on the chair tightly, his face only a few inches away from hers.

"Am not joking, didn't you say you wanted the truth? You are only reacting like this because your brain can't handle it" Remi said as she glared black at him.

Rowan's eyes shone with a fierce light "Bullsh*t! Tell me the truth right now or don't blame me for being ruthless!"

"How is it my fault that you can't handle the truth!" Remi yelled back.

Unable to hold back his anger, he flipped the chair over making Remi gasp in shock and pain as her forehead grazed on the floor slightly. Rowan had never been so out of control like this, being on the receiving end, Remi didn't back down either she was unwilling to be the victim again and again.

"Good...what a good friend you are Rowan. One moment we are best friends the next moment you abandoned me, one moment you pledge royalty to me the next moment you let me die! And now, one moment you demand the truth the next moment you flip me over just because you can't handle it. If you are a real man, untie me and face me directly instead of tying me down!" Remi roared in anger.

Rowan's expression froze before he quickly untied her, once free, Remi attacked with a headbutt catching him off guard.

"Now we are on equal foot, fight me." Remi said in satisfaction as blood dripped down her forehead, she stood in a fighting stance waiting for Rowan to make a move.

Rowan touched his bleeding nose before looking at her in realisation then his expression darkened "you are not Orion, stop mimicking him!"

Rowan's denial fuelled his rage making him relentless in his attacks, he didn't even try to hold back. Remi immediately regrated her rush decision, seeing a scenario so similar to her past as Orion, she subconsciously reacted the same way she did back then. Rowan just needed an outlet to vent his emotions, unfortunately she had offered herself like a sacrificial lamb, forgetting that she was a terrible sparring partner for Rowan.

Remi was forced to be defensive, Rowan's strikes were relentless making her flustered. She tried her best to Parry and dodge but out of every three punches she only managed to barely block one hit. She felt pain all over her body but Rowan didn't stop, Remi gritted her teeth and beared with it. But suddenly the discomfort in her stomach grew to the level of pain, making her wince and fail to block a punch towards her chest. The moment the hit landed, Remi lost control of her vocal cords, she screamed so loudly that it snapped Rowan back to himself.

Rowan looked horrified 'what have l done'

Remi had never felt such excruciating pain before, she didn't know that a woman's breasts were so sensitive! Luckily she had shifted back a little, otherwise she would have immediately passed out from the hit. She covered her chest as she silently sobbed with her head hung low.

Rowan suddenly dropped heavily on his knees and hugged her waist "Am so sorry....l-"

Remi felt weird being in such a position with him, she stopped sobbing as she looked at him angrily "what are you doing, let go!"

Rowan felt embarrassed, he let immediately let go "Am sorry, l-l just wanted to-"

At that moment, Remi felt something warm trickle down her legs, when she looked down Rowan followed her gaze. Suddenly both of them went quite, Remi couldn't even feel the pain from before anymore because at that moment, she wanted to die from embarrassment!

Rowan looked at her frozen expression and blurted out mindlessly "Are you really Orion? Then why are you bleeding like a girl?"

Remi's face heated up in embarrassment, she was so angry that she felt out of breath "you..y-you..

Stay away from me!" She screamed as she headed towards what she thought was the exist and although she didn't find it, she found the ladies restrooms. She rushed in to hide away from Orion and to clean up.

Rowan hesitated for a moment before knocking "I'm going out to buy some women's necessities for you, let's talk when l get back"

Remi didn't answer, her brain was already working in overdrive, this was her first period as a man in a girl's body after all. She quickly cleaned up and snuck out, she couldn't care less about where she would go, all she wanted to do was to get away from Rowan as soon as possible.

As she staggered out of the building, she realised that it was an old hospital that had closed down for renovations.

She carefully walked in the midst of the pain from her abdomen and her chest, when she reached the streets someone called out to her.

"It's you"

Remi turned back to see the dark skinned trainer from the gym.

"You don't look so good, are you okay?"

"Mmmh" Remi could only nod as she looked away.

Sensing that something was wrong, Jason didn't know what to do since she was unwilling to talk.

"Can l at least help you get somewhere? Perhaps the hospital?"

Remi nodded "home"

With her approval, Jason quickly called for an uber since he went out jogging, he didn't bring his car.

When it arrived, they got inside and quickly left.

In a dark corner of a building, Rowan who had just witnessed this encounter clenched his fist. He hadn't really gone out to get her sanitary pads, he knew that with her character, she would immediately leave if left alone. With how he has acted earlier, he knew she wouldn't want to see him for now, he had only planned to silently follow her behind to check that she would be fine. He didn't expect that she would be taken away by that trainer she had been infatuated with on their first meeting.

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his chest, he didn't know what he was feeling but he knew that he didn't like it.

'Orion or not, I will find out later. For now, i will keep watching you from the shadows'

With that, he got into his car to follow the uber, who knew what kind of intentions that strange man had.

He looked at his review mirror before smiling 'at least am still better looking than him, if Remi likes to look at good-looking men then she won't be blind to notice who's the better option between us'
