Hayden's POV:
I haven't had any flashbacks for years, so why now?
Master.
His name is echoing around my head, and I'm trying to shake it off. I need to focus on my fight tonight. There is a LOT of money riding on this fight. It comforts me knowing that there are rules tonight. The people I'm fighting for won't risk any cheating, I'm worth too much for them to lose. The three bells ring, telling me it's time/ I make my way to the ring, I'm ready. I have to be. Something catches my eye as I'm walking to the ring. It's Fox. But he's talking to some people in suits. I start to panic, that can't be good.
When I get to the beginning of the walk way, I stop and wait for them to announce the fight and introduce me to the crowd. My music starts to play and I jump up and down on the spot to loosen up and calm down. My eyes are searching the crowd for Fox, I quickly snap myself out of it and give the myself a once over before I step out to face them. My fans. Tonight I decided, well they decided to change my look completely. I'm going to be fighting as a girl, no longer the masked stranger. Instead of my hood, I've gone for a black eye mask (as to still hide my identity) black face paint from temple to temple. It kind of looks like my whole face is black. My hair has been backcombed into a birds nest, so wild and knotty on the top of my head. This was the best I could do to make sure that no one could tell who I really was.
Suddenly my music starts playing and the spotlight is on me. I keep up appearances by putting on a show for the crowd. They're going crazy, shouting they love me and chanting my name. At one point in my life, this very moment is what I lived for. Being the champion, everyone there to see me. But now it just makes me feel sick to my stomach. I finally make it to the ring and jump in, continuing the show. Now it's 'Deathdealers' turn to make his walk to the ring. I watch him as he walks up and I notice his slight limp in his left leg. It's a weakness I plan to exploit and use to my advantage.
"What do you think Satan?"
Pieces of my flashback keep making appearances in my head. To remind me, no torture me everyday of my life.
~FLASHBACK~
"You chose well today Satan. My #1 girl, always looking out for me." Master says as he strokes the side of my face with affection.
"But Master, Satan attacked the girl." Oh Domino why?
There is nothing but silence until Master suddenly lashes out and backhands Domino across the face, and she falls to the floor. I freeze and she holds in her sob of pain. He crouches down to her.
"Don't talk to me about things like I wasn't there!" He's shouting, this is dangerous. I make a quick decision to help her.
"Master." I say cautiously, I step forward slowly.
"I'm sure what she meant was I ruined their product and embarrassed the seller. They might try to retaliate against you for my actions." I try to reason, hoping he sees what I mean. He takes a deep breath, chewed his thumb nail. He sighs.
"I see your points girls. We'll pay them a small fee. We'll be good." He crouches back down to Domino and she flinches ever so slightly.
"I'm sorry sweetheart, I didn't mean it. Forgive me?" She quickly nods her head, so not to anger him further. He smiles happy and walks off laughing. His laugh bounces off the walls echoing around us. I walk over to Domino and help her up. Checking to see how bad the damage on her face is. Our eyes lock and there are tears in her eyes. I can't do this much longer.
