Chapter 9

Mitch's POV

We followed Jerome to a flat area covered in flat stone. There was a big red circle in the center of it. It kind of looked like an . . . arena?

"Alright guys, today we're doing a group activity. We'll assign you with a partner, then you'll fight until one of you can't continued." Jerome explained. We looked at each other, confused.

They're going to make us fight each other?!

"Oh, and you might be fighting one of the trainers as well, if you're lucky" Jerome smirked evilly, sarcasm dripping in his words. My mouth dropped.

"What?! They're trained professionals!" Lachlan argued.

"So?" Jerome smiled.

This fucking piece of shit, I outta-

"First up, Preston and Vikk!" Jerome yelled.

They slowly made their way to the circle then looked at Jerome.

"What are you waiting for?! Go!" He yelled. They both got into ready position and began.

With one last punch Vikk knocked Preston out cold. His body fell to the ground. Vikk looked at him panicked.

"Relax he's fine, just unconscious. Good punch." Jerome complemented as Adam and Ty picked Preston up and carried him out of the circle.

I glanced at Rob, his arms were folded and you could clearly see the worry and anger in his eyes. Even he thought this was pointless.

After a while, I was finally picked to go.

"Mitch and Tyler." Jerome yelled. I dropped my mouth in shock.

He's going to make me fight that bastard?!

I looked at Tyler who smirked. He cracked his knuckles then walked to the center of the circle.

"This will be easy. ." He laughed.

I looked at Rob, he was just as shocked as me. He gave me a stern look though, telling me to just do it.

I sighed and walked to the center on the circle.

"Don't worry pretty boy, I won't mess your face up... that bad." Tyler grinned.

I felt anger rise up inside me. I threw a punch at his face, but he quickly dodged it and punched me in the gut, causing me to stumble back breathless.

Fight Mitch.

I steady my breathing then ran towards him. I aimed for his face again. He dodged it with ease and kicked me in the chest. I lost my balance and fell.

"That all you got, pretty boy?" Tyler mocked.

My blood was boiling with anger now. I got up and turned towards him. I threw a punch at his face; he grabbed my wrists stopping my fists from making contact with his face.

I quickly punched him in the gut. He stumbled back a little before punching me in the side of the head. I fell down again and groaned in pain.

"Give up yet?" Tyler laughed.

I looked at Rob who was watching me non-stop.

"Get up." He mouthed.

And that's what I did. I stood up and walked towards Tyler again.

"Oh what's this? Pretty boy wants mo-" I cut him off by punching him in the jaw. I could clearly see the anger in his eyes now. He threw a punch at my face, but I dodged it then punched him in the gut.

"Not so bad for a 'pretty boy' huh Tyler?" I mocked. He growled. He threw a punch at my face, I grabbed his hand before his hand made contact.

In one swift motion, I kicked the back off his legs, making him fall to the ground. He groaned in pain. Before he could get up though I kicked him in the side forcefully.

I looked up at Jerome who was smiling.

"Go on, finish him." Jerome said.

"No." I said. I was not going to listen him. Not this time.

Jerome smirked.

"Mitch, it's either you finish off your opponent, or your opponent finishes you off." Jerome said. And with that my legs fell beneath me as Tyler kicked the back of them in one swift motion. My head collided with the ground forcefully. I groaned in pain. Tyler chuckled.

This is so fucking stupid, I've had enough. I'm not going to be their puppet anymore!

I got up slowly. My fists tightened.

"That's it! I'm done being your stupid puppet! First you kidnap us, then you make us do all this stupid training, and you won't even tell us why! It's fucking pathe-" Jerome's fist came into contact with the side of my head, knocking me out cold before I could even finish the sentence.

The last thing I remembered before slipping into complete darkness was Jerome saying something,
"Take him to the basement, I'll take care of him later."
