BONDAGED LIES

CHAPTER 4

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW!" Alex, one of the trainers shouted at 'muscle guy' whom I came to learn that his name was Brian.
I flinched as Alex smacked him square on his jaw. People around us were cheering as he coughed out blood.
He couldn't even stand. I felt sorry for myself because I was next in line.
Everyone was given an opponent and mine was none other than Moods.

According to me the whole thing was unfair coz Moods was way more experienced than me. But Lucca said something about the world not being fair so I have no choice. This was the second week of training and let me tell you it had been hell for us trainees.

Lucca was not joking about the training being at any time. Like right now, it's three in the morning and we're here. Surrounding a ring and waiting for your turn to wrestle with your opponent. The previous night I didn't even get to sleep because we were in some drill.

It was supposed to teach us about the role of always being ready. The drill went pretty bad because we lost three of the candidates. And the sad thing is that training went back to usual like nothing happened.

Every time I saw their empty beds I felt scared. But the thing is, I got myself into this mess. And clearly there was no going back.

"That's enough!!!"Lucca's voice echoed around the room. He was watching the fight quietly. He was never there 24/7 but he usually came thrice a week to see how many people were eliminated. Lucca walked towards us slowly. He always radiated off power wherever he was. Every step he took was always calculated.

"Brian you bring shame to us males!!!"He spat making Brian wince.
"You're all muscle but you're a softie. You're a disgrace. If you keep up like this you won't survive here for very long. Now disappear. Out of my sight!" He tried to get up but he couldn't. No one even dared to help him up. I really wanted to but I couldn't because it was every man for himself.

"Who's next? "Lucca asked.

"Moods and Samantha, "When my name was mentioned, I wanted to burry myself. I took a deep breath as I entered the small ring.
Moods looked fine. Like she'd done this a million and one  times.  I heard the bell ring and I knew the fight had began. We walked around the ring , looking into each other's eyes. We tried to provoke each other for a while before Moods attacked.

I ducked the first three kicks but she was very fast because the forth kick sent me crashing down. I held my tummy and took a sharp breath. Moods sure did know how to kick.
I stood up immediately and folded my hands as I attacked her.

Her reflexes were fast and it scared the shit out of me. I took in a few punches that she gave me. I closed my eyes as I inhaled and I exhaled.

"C'mon on Sam!"Moods shouted. She was actually being lenient because all the others before me were told a lot of crap.

"Don't tell me you're scared. "she mocked and I closed my eyes once more as I heard everyone around me laugh at her remark. I opened my eyes and I swear I saw my sister again, Sienna, standing in the middle of the ring. Her hands on her hips. She always did that when she was mad at me.

I squinted my eyes and I freaked out. I was hallucinating..again.

"Seriously Sam, are you gonna let them talk to you like that? "she sneered.

"I thought I told you to never let anyone belittle you. SO KICK HER ASS OFF YOUNG WOMAN!"

The moment she said that ,Moods had hit me squarely on my jaw and I stumbled backwards but I didn't fall.
I shook my head severally and I noticed that Moods was going to hit me me again. But I didn't let her. I held her hand and pushed her backwards with great force.
