Short stories: Pain from love

At this point, I knew full well what my job as the apocalypse unit of Pride was. I was meant to help bring strength to fellow apocalypse units and also give them a sense of peace with their sin. Their sin lasts with them forever, you know, so whatever it is they won't be able to get rid of completely. But that was okay, so long as they didn't relapse and become what they used to be. Pit challenges go smoothly; we all know it's a game, so losing doesn't matter. We usually don't go to the extent of killing one another for the sake of the game, unless it's a much more competitive arena, in which all of us apocs will make sure to team up.


But Pit challenges weren't what were on my mind this day. I was walking back to the strong spiritual energy area, and who should I find except this incredibly stunning young woman. I probably stared for five seconds, there, without moving.

She circled me; all I did was watch her as she circled around me, very slowly. She put her right arm around my left shoulder, in a very enticing manner. She now went around to the front of me, now quite close. She now quickly reached over and grabbed my jacket collar and was about to pull me straight into her.
Now, normally I would have no problem with such a situation, but I could tell that something wasn't right. When she grabbed my jacket collar, I smelled some sort of aroma around her hand, it wasn't a normal smell, and it smelled too sweet.
