Chapter 4

I was shocked, but I couldn't let this opportunity go to waist. I nodded, yes.

"He said yes!" yelled the King and everyone started cheering.

Prince Austin then jumped down from the throne he was sitting on to the battle arena. Someone tossed him his sword and he caught it, getting into a fighting stance.

When everyone quieted down, he lunged forward. I dodged and kicked him in the back from behind. He fell to his knees and I went up behind him and put it by his neck. Then I bent down and whispered in his ear. "Do you surrender?"

Challenges were much different from the rounds of the competition. Instead of knocking out your opponent, you had to get them to surrender, much like what me and Ryan do. It usually takes a while and a lot of asking, but you take any chance you can get.

Once he heard my voice, he shivered but hid it so no one but me knew because I was so close to him. "No." He said, firmly and then knocked his head back so I took my sword away from his neck and backed up a few steps, making sure I cut his arm a little as I did so.

When he stood up, he lunged for me again, landing a blow to my arm. My first one all day.

"So that's how you want to play it?" I questioned mockingly. I then lunged and landed a blow on his leg. He grimaced but didn't step back. Instead he lunged again but since his left side was weak because of the hit from just now, I attacked that side and hit his shoulder.

This time he stumbled back and tripped over his own feet. I walked up to him and started to straddle him. Again, I placed my sword at his neck. I placed more of my weight on the left side of his body causing his face to show an expression of pain.

"Do you give up now?" I asked.

He grunted and threw me off him. He swung his sword at me and I ducked, missing a fatal blow and instead he cut off my mask and hood, exposing my face. He stepped back shocked and I took this as an advantage.

I lunged forward one more time and pinned him against the wall, his back to me. He was cleary surprised and cursed himself for leaving himself an open target.

I placed my sword, for the last time, at his neck. Putting enough force to make him bleed a little. His eyes widened and he stiffend under the sword.

"Do you surrender now, Prince Austin?" I asked in a sickly sweet voice, mocking him.

He grunted and muttered a 'Yes'.

I let him go and put back my sword. I then yelled at Ryan. "Hey, Ryan! The jiggs up! Lets get out of here!"

I heard him chuckle and then he jumped into the arena, much like Prince Austin and started running to the door with me right behind him.

Right before we made it to the door, some guards moved in front of it and grabbed us. 'Shit' I mumbled.
