Fear No More

Chapter Four

I walked out to the arena and took my place looking towards Grey. I could see his veins rippling beneath his skin as he prepared to shift. But he knew he was not allowed due to the rules in place.

I stood still watching the numbers count down. I let my dragon take over slightly as I felt the power flow through me. I never felt this powerful before and to be honest, I could get used to it.

As the number one shattered, I watched as Grey quickly began to shake violently as transform himself into a very large wolf that was a big as a car. To be honest, even though I knew of my power against his, I still couldn't help but feel some fear when I saw those eyes look back at me. It was mainly due to its size, but the fear was still present.

As he began to move, the fear dissipated as I felt me dragon roar within me at the disrespect. I haven't felt this way in a very long time. It was one of the reasons I had buried him so deep within me.

The wolf quickly darted to the right gaining speed quickly as it began to run circles around me. When it thought I had begun to lose my focus, it jumped at me. Opening its jaws as it came closer to entrap me within.

I let the jaws close around me as I felt the sharp pings of pain that erupted on my right arm and my chest. The teeth digging deep into me. I let my dragon surface as my eyes changed once more. I could feel the instant stop within the bite and the hesitance that followed.

The wolf slowly began to retract his teeth as he let me out of its grip. I let my power flow forward through my eyes, and I controlled it enough to not let it leak to anyone else. I wanted it to be a surprise when I unleashed my true power and this puny match did not fit the bill.

Grey backtracked as he kept his tail snuggled tightly between his legs. His wolf bowed to me with enough fear to make him shake. I could hear the gasps coming from the crowds as well as the screams for the fight to continue.

"Shift back." I said with more power within my voice. I kept my dragon near the surface ready to act if need be. And Grey knew this. He knew how close I am to destroying him.

His wolf slowly began to shrink and as the fur receded his bones began to shrink. Soon enough Grey was kneeling in front of me with evident fear in his shaking form.

"I-I-I'm s-s-sorry." He said as he kept his head lowered. "I-I didn't mean the d-d-disrespect." He stuttered as he tried to regain his composure but failing to do so.

"This is the only time, I will let this go." I told him and I could hear the elation in his breathing. His fear lessened somewhat but he was still shaking. "I will not be this lenient again." I added as the gong sounded and the announcer's voice boomed over the crowd.

"And the winner is the first year, Victor." He said as the crowd sat there stunned. I could imagine the thoughts running through their heads. How could a first year do this? Why would Grey just submit? What the hell is this Victor person? How can he make a fourth year submit?

I walked back to the waiting rooms, as I kept my gaze in front of me. As soon as I turned, I returned my eyes back to what they were previously. Again, I wanted to make one final display of power before everything comes to an end.

I sat in the back of the waiting room with my head hung low. Although I liked not having to hide my power, I still couldn't get over the fact that I had nothing left. The only thing I had was power and Julie's friendship. But how could I be friends with someone I loved so much. How could I be friends with her knowing she would tell me anything and everything in regards to her potential husbands as well as her 'dates' with Bo. I just couldn't bare it anymore.

A couple of fourth years tried to begin conversations with me after the fight, but with my mood still as it is, I ignored them. They soon got the message that I did not want to be bothered. I  could feel the loathing eyes of Bo watching my every movement from across the room.
