The plan was stupid. But in our case? Stupid meant fun.

According to Lye there was an underground fighting arena with some of the best fighters in the town. An opportunity that only an idiot would miss. I mean who didn't want to go and see some of the best fighters perform in action?

"You sure your ok with going?" Lye asked me, as Sadie continued to brush my hair, making me lean into her.

"Why wouldn't I be?" I asked the question, daring him to answer. The truth was I expected that the answer would be because there was cages and the arena would probably feel closed in or something like that, but truthfully I was too excited about the event than to focus on my trauma. It was similar to when I would usually have panic and anxiety attacks about things but if I was too excited that anxiety would slip away like it never existed in the first place.

I could hear Lye sigh a little in worry, but he of all people knew that when my mind was set on something it was near to impossible to change it. "As you wish baby".

"We love you starlight" I smiled at my girls words. I loved when she told me she loved me, sure I knew she did, but when she told me it made me feel like I was someone important. Even if I was only important to them, it meant the whole world to me.

"I love you too, more than you could ever imagine" I replied, turning around and kissing her softly on the cheek, before going over to Lye and kissing him too.

"Are you sure we're not gonna get into trouble?" Fern asked worriedly, as we were all standing outside the supposed entrance. Truthfully I understood her concerns, we were going to a place that was highly illegal. If we got caught things would end up horribly.

But of course Lye's answer was typical "it's only illegal if we get caught. And we won't get caught, it's as simple as that". In my eyes he had too much trust in us, too much trust that we wouldn't easily get caught if we made a single mistake. And way to much trust in the universe's decisions.

The place we were outside of looked extremely sketchy, it was a practically empty car park that I was sure was gonna lead up somewhere. It seemed too much like my dream that I started to question whether we were truly awake at this moment. Maybe it was another one of my strange dreams. We would go in a lift that would take us down to somewhere and some weird events would happen.

Did I want this to be a dream? Was I that worried that I hoped this was all a dream? Or did I simply think this was like a dream? For once I couldn't answer my own questions. I seemed to have somewhat of a bad feeling about all of this.

Almost like I had predicted the future, the exact thing that I had guessed happened. We went in an elevator that took us down to some long tunnel. The tunnel had brick on one side but on the other there was a dark glass that seemed to block us off from something, possibly the sewer knowing how far down we were. And if it was like my dream I would be right.

As we walked through the long tunnel, we eventually got to a wooden door.

"Are you sure darling?" Sadie asked me softly, holding my hand. I didn't get why she was so worried, it was just a fighting arena right? What was so dangerous about this place? When I eventually nodded, Lye opened the door.

Oh my god. As you stepped into the room, the first thing that would grab your attention would be the massive ring in the middle of the room that had what seemed to be hundreds of people gathered around it. To the corner of the room was a cage with a woman standing in it and a biker driving around her. And on the other side was a bar. Overall the room was massive and had a dark atmosphere to it with the dim lights and entertainment.

The place had me staring in awe. I was terrified yet also the most excited I had been, my adrenaline being almost overwhelming.

"Stay by my side ok?" Sadie told me, keeping hold of my hand. Although I wanted desperate to follow her rules, the cage seemed to be screaming my name. I wanted to have as much fun as that woman seemed to be having, I wanted to feel the same amount of adrenaline that her eyes showed.

Taking us over to the ring, we saw two people step into it. Two people that almost took my breath away. They were terrifying, yet so fascinating to look at. Both of them had dangerous eyes, one of them having a grey pair whilst the other ones was practically black, they both were covered in tattoos and seemed to tower to at least 6'5. The only difference between the two was the tallest guy had a killer glare whilst the darker guy had a sly smirk. They both looked like they could kill someone in only a few seconds.

They seemed to be daring one of another to give the first hit as they circled one another in the ring. Both seemed like they could easily win the fight, especially with how muscular the both of them were. They were both naturally muscular, shown by how clearly neither of them were bodybuilders, which made me wonder how they naturally got so muscular.

The two boys seemed the most competitive, they were both more than fascinating. It was like watching a lion and a cheater in a cage, both of them with their own strengths but also their own weaknesses.

The crowd erupted into screams as the darker guy hit first, but it wasn't soon after that the tallest guy took his hit too. Both of them continued to throw their punches, but neither of them would back down, no matter how much they were covered in blood.

Eventually the darker guy ended up backing down, making it seem that the tallest guy had won, but he seemed to celebrate too early as suddenly the darker guy pulled him down. The winner seemed to be the taller guy, making the crowd erupt into screams again.

Whilst the crowd stayed cheering, I managed to sneak away. I didn't know whether it was because of the alcohol I was just drinking as I was watching the fight or the cravings, but I seemed to end up at the cage.

Not long after I was in the cage, with a biker ready to begin. The bike soon went around me, the fear and excitement making me want to laugh and scream. The bike went all around the cage, seemingly so close to accidentally knocking me over. Spinning around, a giggle left my throat. The adrenaline was amazing.

Spotting Lye in the crowd watching me, a small smirk appeared on my lips. I knew he would most likely give me some sort of punishment for leaving his and Sadie's side, but at this moment it was the last thing on my mind.

Eventually the excitement was over, but before Lye and Sadie could reach me sirens screamed over us. My before excitement turned to fear. My fear wasn't that I was gonna get arrested, it was the fear of losing lye and Sadie. Knowing the police would soon burst in, I ran over to them and some people seemed to be thinking the same thing about those they came with.

Some people seemed to manage to escape, but before we could the police bursted in. Truthfully I found the police stupid. They did nothing but cross off an activity from my bucket list.

As they grabbed my wrists and handcuffed me, I stifled a laugh. I always wondered what it would be like to be arrested, to experience what my father was running away from. Truthfully jail never seemed like a terrible thing to me as a kid, I almost wanted to do terrible things so I could end up there.

As we got to the jail cell, being thrown in them. The others didn't seem to be as casual about the situation as I was.

"How aren't you panicking?" Summer asked, looking at me.

"Bucket list activity" I simply smiled and rested my head on the wall behind me.

Blade seemed to be comforting Fynn, who seemed the most panicked out of us. But truthfully everyone seemed too panicked.

"You do realise we'll eventually get out of here right? There was no murder at the place, no really illegal thing. We'll probably only be in here for a couple of weeks, if that" I said out loud, looking up at the ceiling, not talking to anyone in particular but hoping those who were the most worried would trust me.

"Your too calm princess, you truly are peculiar" Lye said, as I felt his eyes on me.

"I'll take that as a compliment" I laughed softly.

"Shut up." One of the police officers shouted, making Fynn and Summer jump. Honestly the only reason I felt so guilty about us ending up here was because they were here too. Fynn and Summer were too innocent for jail.

"You shu-" grabbing Lye's wrist before he finished his sentence, I shook my head, not wanting him to get us into even more trouble.

As we stayed in the jail for longer, I had an urge to ask if this meant it was illegal, but I thought better than to joke. After all once we got let free I'm sure we could joke enough. If we ever got free.
