Learning Control (Phoenix Riders MC)

More Changes

(Ava's POV)

I've been doing this for a year now, I just turned 18 a few days ago.
I get ready like almost every other night, getting ready to do what gets me money. In the beginning it was rough for me barely being able to get through one round always being knocked around. Eventually I had to learn to fight for myself so I did and I became the best fighter this town has seen, going against anyone that was put in the ring with me. I never lose a fight any more and I'm not the small defenseless girl that was taken a bit over a year ago.
Standing in the shadows of the run down building I see a lot of people like normal a lot of them drug or high off there asses wanting any entertainment that comes there way doesn't matter if it's the fight or the girls with close to no clothes. I don't plan to stay in this town much longer feeling way to close to where I was held I'm always looking over my shoulder waiting for someone to grab me, I just need enough money to get further away from here. "...ven" I catch the end of my name that's being called. Turning around I see Chuck grinning at me walking to me. "Hey Chuck" I absentmindedly say still stuck in my own thoughts. I feel a hand on me and it brings me out of mind as a grab the hand and twist hearing a snap "fuck!" I hear when I look up and see Chuck the creep. " don't touch me" I basically growl out, he knows not to touch me but he chose to anyway resulting in a broken wrist which he totally deserves, he won't be touching me for a while.

Walking away from his pain filled grunts I make my way up to the ring to wait for the fight. Jumping into the ring makes a lot of noise from the people around now taking interest as the fight is starting. Walking into the ring is a guy who looks to be about 4 inches taller then me and I'm 5'0 he's looks a bit burly, rough around the edges and dark eye considering you can't see the other eye from under the eye patch he's wearing.  Waiting for the count down I get ready.
3...2...1...GO

Hearing that makes me lunge forward towards my opponent ducking as he swings his fast at my head.
Rules of the ring is you don't stop until one person is unconscious but they have nothing against going all in and killing. That's not my style I'd rather not kill someone for sport.
Getting close enough to the guy I raise my knee and hit him right in the groin, every guys weak spot as he staggers back I hit him in the face I target his only good eye. That's must have got him mad because he runs at me though he can't see much he is big so it's hard to get around him quickly. Bracing for impact I feel myself hit the floor beneath me, as my head clears I see the guy on top of me trying to get his hands up to my throat. He is so big on top of me that he succeeds in choking me starting to see dark spots in my vision I start thrashing around not wanting him to choke me out knowing that he might not stop there. I bring my knee up and finally connect it to him where I don't know but it hurt and he shifts a little and I get my hands free, once my hands are free I go to hit his face again use my fingers to poke his eye again hoping that it will get him to back off even if it's just for a second. It does and I use the time to get myself out from under him, I stand above him he is still on the floor and I kick him and I keep doing it until my leg goes numb. Staggering back I see him on the ground blood leaving his body, I'm not sure if I killed him or it's just from a wound but I won and that's fine with me I'd rather he die then me. It's all about self preservation.
Coming to the present I collect my money and go to find coach. He's not really a coach and he's not nice but he's the one who handles all the money and bets. Walking past everyone I make my way to the room he is always in.
Walking in I instantly smell a copper smell, walking further into the room I round a wall and see him see Greg sitting in his chair at his desk with his computer still on I look discreetly to see what was on it.
Stepping back in horror I see the video that I have not seen in a year and kind of forgot about. The video of my parents, the night they died after saying that I could be taken by Them.
Only then do I come back from my mind do I realize where the smell was coming from, I turn the chair that Greg is sitting on and he's mutilated his fingers are missing as well as his ear and there is blood everywhere you can see plain as day that he's dead.

After the realization that Greg is dead and he is the one that possibly killed my parents though they weren't what I thought they were. I knew it was time to get out of here so I turn on my heel and walk out the room heading to my tiny apartment above a bakery that shouldn't even be considered livable. I grab my duffle and stuff all my important things like some clothed my money the few weapons and I walked out the door. Not having a phone I don't know where I'm going to go but I head to the bus station. Looking at the first bus that leaves I see that it's going to a city called Levail. The board says that Levail is atleast a 24 hour trip not counting other stops so I figure that is where I'll be going for now.

Finally pulling into the bus station I get off the bus's with atleast 20 other people, stepping outside the bus it's warm and there is a slight breeze. It seems more quiet here then back in Vanique, it seems Levail is a smaller city less crowds, which might actually be good. Who would come looking for me in a small town they would expect me to head to a large city.
I don't know where I'm going so I just start walking hoping to find a job maybe though I don't know how that'll work I'm pretty sure there's not a ring around for me like back in Vanique.
While I'm walking I see a help wanted sign at a mechanic shop called Riders. I have a bit of experience with cars and bikes so maybe this could work.

Walking into the open shop I see that it's a pretty big place, at first I don't see anyone so I walk in to one of the bay doors. I see a nice looking bike and do over to it, I may not know makes and models of bikes but they're all pretty damn cool to look at, I wouldn't mind getting a bike.
"Excuse me" I hear a rough voice from behind me, turning around I take in the figure of an at least 6'0 man with blond shoulder length hair with so many tattoos I can see on his chest since he's not wearing a shirt. I hear a voice clearing which snaps me out of my stupor looking up I see the guy smirking obviously knowing I was checking him out.
"H..hey I was looking at your help wanted sign" I stumble over my words which isn't like me. I wait for his response and as I do I take in my surroundings, feeling eyes on me I look up. " what do you know" he says probably not expecting that I know quite a bit. " Enough" I say not liking the way he talked to me. He turns around and starts walking further into the garage "follow me" I hear and I do, not knowing where we are going but I still follow. I see him knock on the door  " hey VP some girl here is looking for a job" he opens the door but doesn't let me see inside. "Send her to the bar" I hear voice bark out.
Pushing my way forward into the room I say "I'm looking for garage work and don't speak about me like I'm not here I say looking between the two guys"  I hear a growl next thing I know I'm pushed against the wall my already concussed head throbbing at the force my head was shoved into the wall. Next thing I know my eyes get black dots and my vision starts going dark.

I must have passed out because the next thing I know I wake up to find myself in a room with gray walls, I feel something soft beneath me and realize I'm in a bed. Lifting myself up I see a figure staring in the corner of the room, weary I dart my eyes around trying to get some for of weapon, I don't know who it is or where I am or how I got here.
"Hey little Raven" I look to see the guy that was standing in the shadows come forward, it's the guy the was called VP. He looks like a Greek god you can see his muscles beneath the tight black shirt he's wearing with his gray sweatpants anyone would think he was hot as hell.
Shaking myself out of my head I realized said guy was now sitting across from me on the bed. "How do you know my name" is the first thing that comes out of my mouth because I don't remember giving anyone my name neither my ring name. " Bear is quite good at computers and can find anyone or anything" he must see my confusion because next thing he says is " Bear is the one you first met in the garage and unfortunately knocked you out also"  confused even more I go to stand up to realize that I'm quite dizzy and my legs almost make me fall flat on my face when I feel arms around me stopping me from hitting the ground.
Not even thinking I grab whatever part of the guy is closer and twist hearing a snap and a grunt I'm dropped. I catch myself before I hit the floor stand up and back myself against the wall.
A few seconds go by until I hear anything and it comes from big guy that grabbed me "what the fuck" I hear come out of his mouth, almost exactly the words that come out of everyone's mouth when they touch me. "Don't touch me" I hear myself basically growl at the man who puts his arms up in surrender.

"Sorry little Raven"
