CHAPTER 17

The next seconds moved in a flash. 

While Kali lay there beaten up with blood gushing all over her wounded body, Her eyes stared blankly, as if disconnected from the pain or the world around her.

Inside, she wasn't in the arena anymore.

She was back in those darkest days—when Izel had left her. Cheated on her. Betrayed her trust and love without explanation. Those were the time she started questioning herself, questioning her worth.

Kali had given Izel everything, her heart, her soul, her devotion. And Izel had shattered her without warning.

For a year, Kali tried to bury it. Tried to forget. She pretended everything was fine when nothing inside her was.

But she was broken. Beyond repair.

Why did Izel do it? Kali still didn't know. She'd spent sleepless nights asking herself what she did wrong. Was it her fault? Was she not enough?

Should she have confronted the truth sooner? Would anything have changed?
Were Ronan's words true? Had she been played this whole time?

Izel, You were my everything, How could you do those things? How could you take my heart and stomp on it, leaving me damaged beyond repair?

The thoughts were loud—deafening—echoing endlessly inside her skull.

But, In the midst of the turbulent inside Kali's head.

A voice echoes, Calling her name.

Not Izel's. Not Ronan's.

But clear and commanding.

Kalliste, Wake up. It says.

If you don't you're going to die.

Wake up! Your best friend is worried about you.

I can see her crying,

Aelia too.

Wake up.

Block out the pain. Block out the noise and stand up.

Wake up! Now!

The voice stopped along with everything inside her head and was replaced by the loud cheering and screams of the students watching the battle.

"Kali! Wake up please!" She heard the familiar voice of the woman who caused the chaos. "I LOVE YOU! Kali, Please!"

Izel.

Kali blinked.

There she was, at the edge of the platform, struggling in Eirene's grip, trying to run to her.

Kali snapped out of the trance just in time to hear a low growl.

Whipping her head at the direction of the sound, a huge werewolf approaches with quick strides and angry glowing eyes, sharp teeth on display ready to bite.

Kali tried to dodge, but barely did so. An excruciating pain was felt on her left shoulder where the werewolf managed to dug his sharp teeth. 

The bite was deep that an abundant flow of blood started pouring from the wound.

But it's not the time to feel the pain, Not when a huge werewolf is charging at her again.

She ducked, rolled, and evaded again, but her vision blurred, her limbs heavy. Her body was giving out. She didn't have long.

You have to end this now.

So with the remaining strength she had left, and a werewolf charging at her, She closed her eyes, gathering her last remaining strength to end the fight.
