Heart of a Fighter (On Hold)

Chapter 3

(Ruby's POV)

   We were staring at each other, blood was dripping from his lips, and his nose. He looked beyond mad, he wanted to rip me apart, to hurt me until I fell, but when I looked into his eyes I found the thing that I was looking for, Pain. His only weakness, the weakness that gives me my advantage, the weakness that motivates me. And thats when I made my move. He fell, he stood there unconscious, he looked pale white, like if he had seen a ghost but worst of all he looked dead.

Everything was quiet, no sound was made, no one thought I was capable of wining this fight. He was supposed to be the best fighter, he was supposed to be invincible, but things are not always what they seem. Suddenly the roars and cheers of the crowd brought me back from my thoughts. I scanned the crowd and looked for Jason and Ryan. When I found them they made me the sign to leave and go with them. I jumped out the ring and made my way towards them.

"Hey Ruby, you did great" Jason said, "I agree" said Ryan, "Thanks" I said. After that small talk we had I made my way to my special room and showered in the small bathroom that's in there.

I let the hot water touch my skin, the way it made me feel, the way it caressed it, it made me relax, I felt all my worries disappear, I felt warm instead of cold but as always all good things come to an end. I turned the water off and stepped out. After I was done changing and getting ready I went to look for Ryan and Jason. They were both sitting down watching something in the TV.

"I'm ready let's go" I said not waiting for them, "Ruby you just had a fight you should rest" said Jason, I turned around walked towards him and looked at him straight in the eye "Don't tell me what to do" I said in a threatening voice, he sighted "Fine". I gave him a nod and we left.

---------------------------------------------

     I could here the wheels of the cars screeching, the roar of the engine, and the tension between the racers. I could see the excitement of the crowd and their cheers.

    "Let's go to the bar over there! And get some drinks" I said, I didn't drink but I knew that they wanted to have fun and so did I, they gave me a nod and made our way to the bar. As we were walking there I felt someone bump into me "Watch it whore!" he said, I froze on the spot and felt Jason and Ryan tense up beside me, I turned around and faced him "What did you just call me?" I said in a really serious tone as I was looking at him straight in the eye and gave him a look that made him swallow the gulp he was holding, he composed himself and gave me a look, "You heard me" he said, "I dare you to say it again" I said in a low threatening voice. He have me a small smile and said "Watch. It. Whore" that's when I snapped and curled my hand in a fist and I punched him strait in the nose.

    I heard gasps and I saw the worried look on the people's faces. The guy I punched stood up and tried to attack me "You little-" he was stopped. Two of his friends were holding him back, he was struggling to be free and attack me, suddenly one of them whispered something in his ear and magically that made him calm down, he looked at me and said "I won't let this go away, don't think that you can come here and disrespect me like that" he said, I scoffed "Disrespect you? Oh I'm sorry that I hurt your ego but you are the one that disrespected me and you won't get away with that. Ever" I said, he looked beyond mad, he looked like he was about to explode but he contained himself and said "I will let you leave with one condition" he said, "Go ahead I'm listening" I said, He chuckled and said "We race".

---------------------------------------------

    I made my way to the car and got in. "Ruby be careful" said Ryan I gave him a nod and started the car. The roar of the engine made a thrill go through me, it made me feel excitement go in me. I heard a honk and turned my head. He was staring at me, he smiled and winked at me. We made our way to the starting line and waited.

   "Racers start your engines!" The announcer screamed with excitement.

"3"
I started the engine.
"2"
I gripped the steering wheel.
"1"
I focused on the road.
"Go!"
I pressed the gas.

   I felt electricity go all over my body. I was going as fast as this car would go. We were next to each other, I pressed harder on the pedal and went faster than him. I was in front, I looked at the mirror and saw that he was going to try and hit me on the back. I made a turn and he had the advantage and went in front of me. I recovered myself and pressed harder. I tried to go to he left but he moved there to, he was good at racing but he hasn't met me......yet. he was blocking every entrance I had. "Fine. Game on" I said. I pressed the gas harder and hit him hard. That made him swerve to the side making me take the lead. I made a turn to the left and heard how the wheels made that screeching sound. The thing was that I only heard mine, I looked at the mirror and didn't see him, "What the he-"

screech!

 "Oh hell no", he was coming directly at me from the other side, we were going to crash and the only thing that came to my mind was to stop. I pressed the breaks as hard as I could because at this point my life actually depended on it. He made the U turn. And the only thing that I could think off was that he cheated.

    I felt anger boiling through my blood, I pressed the gas and went extremely fast. I cough up with him in less than 1 minute, I wasn't going to stop until I won this race.  I could start seeing all the people cheering as I got closer and closer. Suddenly my hole world went slow everything slowed down, I could only hear my breaths, and the faint voices of the crowd. I turned and saw that I was so close, just a few more seconds left, and when I saw the finish line all my senses cam back and I pressed harder. I felt the tension between the both of us, I could even feel the his fear, I could smell it, and there it was his weakness. It was his only weakness, the fear of losing, racing was probably all he knows, he was a winner, the champion, it was his pride and I took all of that away as I crossed the finish line.

____________________________

 My hole world stopped, I was breathing heavily, all that adrenaline that came to my body was slowly leaving me, I felt electricity go through me, the excitement, the thrill. I felt amazing, I loved it. The feeling that you won.

    I made got out of the car and tensed up and I felt a lot of people sourrounding me. I didn't notice them surrounding the car, but I shook it off and looked for Ryan whom I found smiling proudly at me. "You were great Ruby" he said. I was about to reply but was suddenly interrupted by someone. "How the hell did you do that!?" The asshole said, I looked at him with a serious expression and ignored him, "Hey I'm talking to you!" He said, I kept walking away ignoring him. I was getting on my motorcycle but I was abruptly yanked from it.

  "I asked you a fucking question!" He screamed at me, that was it! I've had enough of his shit. And thats when I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back. I leaned close to his ear and whispered in a cold tone "Touch me again or even come near me and I will kill you" I said. And there it was again the fear, his weakness, wich made me smirk. I threw him to the floor wich caused him to hiss in pain.

     I was known a the most respected fighter. And if someone wouldn't show it to me I would make them show it. And I would put them in their place. No one disrespects me no one.
