 4/13/14

“And hes out for the count!!” yelled Ref making sure the young man with the strange swirling tattoos was okay and still breathing.  

Shaking his head in astonishment Ref walked over to the girl they call the Angel of Death and raised her arm head over her head announcing she was the winner. The crowd roared, Ref expected the girl to roar back at them, and rally them up even more, because that’s what most of the Ring’s winners do. But no, it’s the same every time, with her she just calmly raise her head to the crowd and walk out the Ring.

The reason they call her Angel of Death is because of the angel wing birth mark on her back. When she’s fighting it looks like the wings are actually moving, it revs the crowd even more. Though is girl is only 16 years old she looks 20 and is a major jailbait for most of the guys in the crowd that want to hook up with her. Those guys don’t only have to worry about Angle, even though she can take of herself, of they have to worry about her older brother The King.

The King rules the Ring when he fights, nobody has been able to beat him since he was 14, he started when he was only 12, now he’s 19 and has to look out for his younger sister that tore through the ranks of the Ring.  

She started when she was 11, but she was small then, and got beat all the time when their money drunk uncle had her fight. So their uncle had King train her, and she became victorious. They are the best of the best in the Ring and their one true fear is having to go up against each other, they know it will be a long and bloody fight.

 And most likely on of them would die because they both go into a blood lust and don’t stop until the fight is completely finished. Even though Angel is controlling is more, she finds it hard to stop, she barley restricts herself. Her brother has no control, he’d have killed sometimes if Ref didn't jump in and stop him.

In the back room Angel is there thinking about something she shouldn’t right now… school; she’s thinking about her starting her sophomore year at River High. Her fights have been with some of the upper classmen boys, ones that are in her brother’s senior class. They do it for some quick cash to spend on their girlfriends or whatever, and she doesn’t know what she’ll do if they recognize her, or what they’ll do.

Her thoughts are interrupted when her brother comes waltzing in like he always. All 6’4 and 180 pounds of muscle dropped on her and wrestled her down to the floor where he pinner her with his knees with a big smile on his face and said teasingly ‘’ Little sister I thought you were going to actually lose this fight. But then again you always seem to amaze me how well you pull through in these fights, with opponents bigger than myself. How do you do it?’’  

‘’Well for starters I had a teacher that has been and always will be bigger than me if he don’t get off he might lose a few inches’’ she said.  

He huffed and got off pulling her up with him and sitting her back down on the bench and went to wipe off the rest of the blood from the guy she just beat in to a plup just minutes before. Cleaning it all off The King said softly ‘’ Little sister you seem distracted… are you worried about school tomorrow? At least you get to see me and my handsome face again 24/7 so that should cheer you up!"

 Angel punched him in his arm and laughed ‘’ It isn't your face I wanna see, I wanna see your baby momma's face when you dump her’’. “HEY!! She is not my baby momma! ’’ Angel’s brother said pushing her off the bench again.

In the floor Angel stuck her tongue out at her brother and rolled over and got up and started getting her stuff ready to go home. Even though what they call "home" is a cheap motel room they go from week to week.Angel remembers when she had a real home, with the same bed and a real family, with a mother, father, and brother.

 But it hasn’t been the same since she was 6 and her father walked out on them and their mother became a drug addict. At first it was just depression pills then it became harder, more dangerous stuff.

Then their uncle came back into town and got her brother into the fights. Their mother became more distant, and the only adult was their uncle which they moved in with once her brother started winning fights and Angel was getting big enough to fight. They use to live in the huge 4 story mansion at the edge of town, but her unlce and brother had a big fight during the summer; with that her brother packed himself and Angel up and moved out. This has happen before but never for this long; she was starting to worry. 

Even though their mother comes around every now and then saying she’s clean and they’ll be family again. It never happens she only comes back because her boyfriend of the week kicked her out or she’s out of money.

 Whichever she comes, she'll stay for about a week then leave without a single goodbye. Angel doesn’t care or cry anymore about it. Angel isn’t left crying clinging to her brother anymore, or trying to run after their mother when she does leave and begging her to stay, because now she knows it’s never going to work. It never did and wouldn’t change now.

 ‘’We have to go back to being who we truly are in the morning Allona’’ her brother said intruding on her thoughts.  “I almost forgot what my real name was over the summer I got so use to Angel. But I guess we do brother, or do you prefer Donovan?’’. Donovan looked at his sister and gave her a sad smile.

‘’Time to go Allona we got school tomorrow.’’ They both got up and headed towards Donovan’s black 69 SS Camaro. Tomorrow Allona will be going to high school as a sophomore, and her brother a senior.  People think they know them, they fear her brother; he has put enough guys through enough windows to have a reputation for being a bad boy. With Allona she’s known for getting what she wants, and if she wants it there is no way in stopping her.

 Only thing other people need to know is stay on their good side, and out their way is the only way you’ll have a life at River High.
