I feel the steady stream of blood running from my nose, down over my upper lip, and into my mouth. The taste of blood and sweat combined tasted bitter and metallic, and somehow urges me on.

I spit on the grimy floor and throw another punch to his jaw. My fist connects with a satisfying thud and he stumbles backwards. While he's venerable, I sneak a kick to his side. He sprawls across the mat and groans. I finish him if with a solid kick to the head, then he's out.

I stand there for a second in almost guilty triumph, then rush to collect my prize money. I need to get home as soon as possible. It's inly been a few hours, but already miss her.

I speed through the small maze of the abandoned sewer pipes. It reeks of mildew and mold down here... It's awful. I'm almost to the ladder, I know even through the dark I can tell. I'm down here a lot.

When I reach the ladder, I start speedily climbing. At one point my hand slips due to the old moss and grime building on the rungs. I quickly recover and finish climbing to the top, when I reach the top I slide the man hole to the side and scurry out.

The light of the afternoon sun burns my eyes at first, but I don't care. As soon as I right myself I start sprinting towards my home. As soon as I reach the door I fling it open and run inside not bothering to shut it.

"LACI! IM HOME!" I yell up the stairs. Before I can take another breath, my adorable little sister is already at the top stair case running to my open arms. A huge beautiful smile plastered on her face. She jumps from a couple steps and into my arms. I gradually lift her up and spin her around. She giggles like crazy and it makes me so happy.

I set her down gently before she gets to dizzy. She wraps her little arms around my neck and swallow her in a huge hug. Her small frame pulls back and I smile and ruffle her blonde hair.

"Luke, your home early!" She says happily. "Yeah well," I shrug.

"I didn't get to banged up today" I smile.

She tilts her head to the side, "Your nose was bleeding." I touch my upper lip and sure enough my finger comes away bloody. "Oh yeah," I smile sheepishly at her.

When I look up from her I notice both of my parents are standing at the top of the staircase. It feels like all my joy suddenly leaks out of my shoes. I narrow my eyes as I walk towards them.

My father extends his hand, I take my prize money out of my pocket and slap it roughly in his palm. I turn around and soften my face. "Laci, let's go on a walk" I say and walk down the stairs towards her. When I get to the bottom step I take her hand and walk out the door shutting it behind us.

The hot sun flares beat down on us, making Laci's strawberry blonde hair glow. I smile at her and think to myself, Laci has always seems like a baby to me, but she's not, I try not to think about how fast she's growing up. One day she's toddling about and the next she's 7 years old and getting on just fine while I'm out.

All of a sudden the factions' speakers buzz to life, squealing a little at first until a raspy male voices booms through the air,

"Attention faction three; This is a messenger from WICKED speaking. We require all residence to gather at WICKED headquarters immediately. If you are not checked in by two pm, we will have you arrested, unless you are being assisted by the Med Jacks at the faction hospital.
Thank you for your consideration" The speaker immediately died out. All is silent. I look down fearfully at Laci. She looks up at me almost reflecting my terror. WICKED is bad.
