1. Missions, Arguments, and Losses
RaeLynnA blow of pain exploded in my sides. I scowled, cursing myself for letting my opponent find a weak spot.
Ellis smirked as I curled my fists. Her blonde hair glinted under the fluorescent lights. "You ready to give in yet, Smithson?"
My scowl grew. "Not until time is up and you're lying on the ground, writhing in pain.
Her smirk dropped right off her face and a twisted sneer played over her features. "We'll see who's going to be talking poetic trash, RaeLynn. We'll see."
Then she attacked, aiming her fist for my jaw.
I swiftly dodged and jabbed my elbow into her back, sending Ellis crashing to the ground. She quickly rebounded by tucking into a somersault and landing on her feet.
I turned around just as she sent a kick that was supposed to be delivered to the back of my head. I ducked and grabbed her ankle, flipping her over my shoulder, twisting her body so her stomach would be facing up.
Ellis wheezed lightly as her back slammed into the mat. I quickly got down on top of her, straddling her sides, and pinned her down.
I punched her stomach. She grit her teeth, sweat glistening on her forehead. Another punch was rewarded to her jaw, but she quickly turned her head, causing me to slam my fist into the mat.
Pain sparked in my knuckles as my hand dug into the tough leather.
Ellis took this opportunity to unpin her hands and she pushed me off of her.
I rolled out of the way just as she was about to kick me in the stomach.
I heard her growl from behind me. "C'mon, RaeLynn! Take the offensive for once! It's getting a bit boring with you dodging all the time."
I smirked a little as I got up. "Be careful what you wish for, Waldorf."
Her face reflected a bit of confusion for a few moments before her evil smirk reappeared on her face.
I glanced at the clock. 2 more minutes.
Ellis followed my eyes and registered the time. Then she turned back to me and nodded.
I smiled and then we went at it.
The next 120 seconds was just Ellis and I fighting our hardest.
I kicked Ellis in the stomach, causing her to double over in pain. I took this as an opportunity to grab her head while lifting my leg, slamming her nose into the knee.
I heard a satisfying crack as Ellis hissed in annoyance.
With her head still low, she grabbed my hamstring with both hands, causing me to lose my balance.
Ellis then threw me over her shoulder, judo flipping me, causing me to fall painfully against the mat.
She dug her knee into my throat, her eyes on the clock.
30 seconds.
I grit my teeth. No way was I going to lose to Ellis Waldorf.
Never in a million years.
I lifted my hands and clawed at her hips. Ellis's pressure on my throat subsided as she inched back a little. I then pushed her off of me and kneed her in the stomach, hovering over her.
20 seconds.
She tried to cuddle her stomach, but I didn't let her. I pummeled my fists into her abdomen, over and over and over.
