Broken Desires

~The Games~

Since then, I lived in the cabin and began working freelance as a LandLady. I owned most clubs and apartment blocks in the City. Today, My sister, Tara, had convinced me to go to the pain games with her, since apparently I was the strongest bastard she knew.
She was right to be fair, gangs of huge men trying to rob me have failed multiple times. I give the credit to my dad, for first teaching me self defence. I had my own sports bike with the matching helmet and outfit.
It was black and neon green for the games.
A black skirt, black vest, green belt, green boots and black and green hair with a black leather jacket. My bike was neon green with glowing wheel rims and a neon green helmet with a black visor. I rode to mothers and waited outside for Tara.

A few minutes later, she came out with her helmet and got on the back.
"You ready?" I asked.
She nodded
"Hold on" I felt her arms wrap around me as I set off.
We got there pretty early and decided to chill out for a short while. We sat by the bike having a cigarette and updating eachother on our lives.
The games, was right next to this farm, there was some people there, looked to just be messing about but I wasn't too fussed

About half an hour later, people started to gather around the stage for Stollas's speech. Me and Tara decided to us this time to warm up and stretch. I did notice this one dude keeping an eye on us though, something seemed off about him. Eventually we all got in line to begin the games.
"Good luck sis" I mentioned to her, lifting my black mask.
"Good luck to you too"  She said back to me.
"3....2......1....GO"

Everyone ran towards the large wooden wall, I ran and leaped, pushing someone down and jumping off someone else and leaping from the top of the wall. I won first, watching my younger sister and someone else fall into the shark infested water, bless them.

Next was boar hunting, I'd never hunted any of these before but if I could hunt bears, I could hunt boars. I always had my dad's dagger with me so I used that. I leaped onto the boar, slashing its stomach and prying apart it's skin. I finished 3rd there, but considering that was the first boar I'd ever hunted, that wasn't too bad.
We all kept playing different games until most of them had been eliminated, until there was 5 left. Me, tall and smug looking imp, the other guy that had been looking at me earlier, I assumed it was because we were both reptiles and two other fairly large guys. This game was to see who could do the best knots and ties.

As soon as we all entered the ring, obviously the 4 guys immediately looked at me because I was the smallest, I didn't look anywhere near as strong as I was. Lucky for me, I could use my gender as my advantage, I looked at the biggest guy there, he was huge and buff, so I winked at him and slowly but my lip. I knew now, he wasn't going to attack me, l let the guys fight it out until it was me and 1 other person. It was the other snake! I could use this to my advantage.
He came at me with the rope in both hands, at the last minute I dodged him and he fell straight on his face, I then knelt on his back and tied his hands, feet and tail.
I stood up as people began to cheer.
"You boys need to learn how to tie a woman up" I laughed, exiting the ring.

I met back up with my sister in the audience, she looked a little uneasy.
"I have something to tell you" She began to look into the now empty ring.
"What up?" I asked, slightly concerned now.
"We have to go somewhere private" She replied, leading me behind an old shack.
When we got there she immediately started to apologise to me over and over again.
"Woah, slow down, Tara. What happened?"
"We'll I wanted to spend some time with you, mother said to come here, but yesterday she was on the phone with what sounded like a bounty hunter" She explained, cautiously looking around.
"Okay, so do you know who it is?" I asked, now alert.
"I think it's that last guy. Mother mentioned something about another reptile" She began apologise.
"Hey, don't worry, I can handle this" I hugged her. "It's not your fault, I know how Mother can be. Just next time, come to mine instead" I smiled at her.
We walked back into the crowd, now alert and on edge.
"We have a winner! Please welcome Rosetta!" Stollas's called me up, and I got up next to him, I saw the other snake and the tall imp stood together.
"Anything you'd like to say?" Stollas asked.
"We'll, 5 fairly tough looking guys against one small woman? I guess it's fair to say they don't know how to tie a woman up, even if it's a team effort, their poor wives." Me and most of the audience laughed.

After getting back off the stage, I walked over to Tara.
"Do you wanna stay at mine tonight?" I asked
"Please, would that be okay with you?" She was nervous, she thought I was annoyed at her.
"That's completely fine with me, don't worry about it" I smiled, starting to lead her back to the bike.
We got to the bike and had a cigarette.
"Who's horse is that?" I was looking at the flaming stallion next to my bike.
"He's gorgeous" She mentioned.

Out of nowhere, a bullet sliced passed my arm, I hissed as my arm began to bleed.
