I finish Raliegh off with a hit to his ribcage. He wheezes pitifully and puts down his stick. He takes a knee and bows his head, signifying that he surrenders. Pentecost nods to the masked human and my next opponent comes out. The shock must have registered on my face because he chuckles. It's Newt! I can't possibly hurt him! Despite the pains in my heart, I start working out the fastest way to take him down. He watches me, looking for any sign of attack. He's been trained well. I make my descision at a seconds notice and hit him over the head. He's out instantly. I kneel down beside his slender fallen frame. I brush my fingertips along his jawline.

"I'm so sorry..." I whisper. I drag him down the hall to my bed and put some ice on his bruise. I sigh. I never really got a good look at him, but he's actually kinda cute. He looks a little like Adam Levine with all his tattoos, his brown hair and eyes. He's a nerd... I like it. His wayferer-style glasses give him that flare that I've never seen.

-NEWT'S POV-

I open my eyes and see that Scarlett girl writing something. I clear my throat softly and her head snaps up. Her eyes contract and refocus, like camera lenses. It's fascinating, really. I prop myself up on my elbows and watch her pencil bob up and down like a buoy in the sea. There are tears trickling down her cheeks. I start to wonder why, but then I remember that she was taken away from her family and hasn't seen her brother Ares in days. Poor girl, she needs someone to equal her in her sorrows... Challenge Accepted.
