Italian-American Mafia: Origin Story

18.

Persephone Pov

Darrius Brotov ladies and gents. Darrius is what you call a nerd or a book worm.

We spoke once or twice and he's a really sweet guy but I wondered how did he end up here.

I mean he can ask us the same thing but it's the fact that he is here, fighting in the ring is just weird.

He goes to our school which makes this even weirder.

Never in my years of life would I expect this, but I guess that saying is true, you should never judge a book by its cover.

Coming out of my thoughts I heard the bell ding which means the fight has started. Fixing my gaze toward the fight I mouthed a "good luck" to him and he nods his head.

Both guys have put on a glare at each other trying to intimidate each other.

Typical men.

They circle around each other, no one daring to throw the first punch.

I guess big guy got tired of waiting because he threw a fake left hook and ended up throwing a right towards his stomach.

But Darrius was quick enough to block it and jab a right hook at his face making him stumble backwards.

He didn't even give the other guy enough time to recover because he threw a punch at his stomach sending him to hunch over.

He threw another punch to him and kicked him in his shin.

He got himself off of him to let the other guy get up, which I can see is a tactic move so he won't get tired easily.

The other guy got up and somewhat recovered and they ended up circling each other again.

The other guy decked Darrius in his face and his head flew back. Bone Crusher punched Darrius again and again until he backed away from a punch that Darrius had thrown.

They kept punching and kicking each other over and over and by the time they stepped back from each other, they were both covered in blood from head to toe. You can tell Darrius was saving up all his energy for the last stretch of the fight, while Bone crusher had used up all of his.

If I had learned something about watching these fights, it's about controlling your adrenaline and maintaining your energy.

You can't use up all your energy in the beginning because, 1. You never know when the fight will end, 2. You will be worn out, and 3.You'll start making sloppy decisions and lose right than and there.

Darrius had moved quickly from getting hit which only frustrates Bone Crusher. Another thing is you can't let your emotions get the best of you.

I see why he is called lightning.

Darrius has a blank face on while the other guy is getting frustrated and angry.

His opponent throws an uppercut but Darrius catches his hand and breaks it. He then punched him in the face still while holding the other guys broken hand.

He lets go of his hand and sends a roundhouse kick to his temple completely knocking him out.

The crowd goes quiet as they can't believe what had happened. Gasped are heard all around at what they had just witnessed.

The referee holds up Darrius hand indicating that he had won. He makes his way out of the ring and heads to the back.

The crowd must of came out of its daze before cheering loudly. I tap Hades shoulder and signalled my head towards the door indicated that I need to go.

He nodded his head and we got up from our seats and made our way towards the exit.

We found the exit and then began our way to our houses.

All I can say is things just got interesting.
