Inferno

Chapter 4

     I hear this loud screaming with many guitars playing through the loud speakers in my room, what the hell is that? Then the I hear singing and I think for a second, shit I know this song! Its Slipknot, I love this song! I smile and get up and look at the clock, holy shit their waking me up at 6:30 am? ugh their lucky I like the music they play, I get up and I put on some black skinny jeans and a red tank top with a black jacket which I zipped up just below my breasts, to make them more noticeable, you know, show them off for Jax? I mean he is pretty damned hot, might as well return he favor. I walk down to the dining hall area and see Jax over in the corner sitting with a couple guys and I consider not bothering them and sitting alone then I thought, fuck it, I'm perfectly okay with bothering  them, so I walk over and sit down right next to Jax and introduce myself to his friends, one of them had long brown hair and he was a bit strange but he was nice enough and ended up being one of my best friends actually he introduced himself as Alex, then there was this, excited blonde kid wearing a "falling in reverse" shirt, which happened to be a good band, "Yo! I like your shirt!" I yelled at him and then he started raving about their newest album and I laughed, he then introduced himself as Mason, I took Jax's hand in mine and smiled at him, "Well, I am Ashe, its nice to meet you guys, hope y'all like me cause I'm gonna be hangin out with Jax here a lot more so you'll get to deal with me too!" I laugh and smile at them before stealing a bite of Jax's food and laughing when he gave me a look because he knew I didn't really eat, save for the occasional bite of food here and there to, you know, keep me alive.  I sat back and watched Jax and his friends laugh and talk but I kept quiet, not wanted to get too into the conversations yet since I wasn't really sure if they accepted me as a part of their group yet.  I vaguely remember seeing Alex and Mason working out off to the side when the instructor was testing my skills, you know I don't think I ever got a name from him, ill hafta ask later.  "hey guys do you know where we are supposed to go after breakfast?" I ask quietly,

"We have a quick training session before we have a bit of free time and individual training sessions afterwards" Mason responded.  We finished up breakfast and went down to the training area and I noticed that I was the only girl in the class! Even better, I can spar all the guys and totally kick their asses, so much respect! I see the trainer standing in front of the room next in front of three rings for fighting paired us off for who we would fight, Alex with some guy named Jayce, Jax with some guy named Vaine, Mason with Zed, strange names I know, and I got paired up with some scrawny kid named Zac.  The guys went first in the three rings, Jayce kicked alex's ass, ill help him train later, Jax kicked Vaine's ass, Mason and Zed ended up both getting knocked out somehow and now, im up. "Ashe! Zac! You're up!" Mr. trainer guy yelled.  I stepped into the ring and smiled at Zac, he looked like he had no muscle save for some pity abs his body gave him for being too skinny. I stepped up to him "If you go easy I will destroy you, try to make this a challenge" I smile at him and step back, "Start" Trainer yelled and immediately I faked a punch to his body then went straight for his face, the punch connected and I smiled as he was knocked back a couple steps "oh come on you aren't even trying! Whos kid are ya anyway?" I laugh

He responded with a pained "Athena" and I laughed again

"Well, for the son of the goddess of battle strategy you really gotta work on your battle strategy" i step back and go to sweep his legs from under him when he swiftly reached down and grabbed my foot attempting to knock me over so i pretend to fall, land on my arms and then use my leg strength to do a sort of flip and he went flying into the side of the ring, hitting his head on the glass and becoming dizzy, at which point i decided itd be much nicer to just end it and i punch him in the side of the head and knock him out. 

"Give me someone worthy next time" I laugh, "like... how bout him!" I point to a guy in the back who towers above everyone else and has so many muscles he looks like he could crush me. "I'd rather loose to a worthy opponent, then defeat an opponent who had no chance to begin with" I walk into the ring again "You!" I point at the guy "what's your name, and who's son are you?"

"Me? well im Aatrox, son of Ares" he responds

"come up here, i challenge you, whoever either gets knocked out, or taps out first wins, rules of the match, neither of us are allowed to use our powers, this is to be won by strength and strategy only, if one of us taps we must stop. got it?" he nods and i hear a faint "please don't do this, coming from the back of the crowd and see Jax shaking his head.  i roll my eyes "alright lets do this" i see the glass rising up around us and once its all the way up and choose my preferred fighting stance and i hear the trainer yell "start!" with this guy i knew that i had to fight defensively, ive seen him fight, strong but slow, shouldn't be too hard.  I saw him step forward, a check, i don't react to it so he goes in for a punch, i  block it swiftly but he connects with my stomach and i double over in pain for a second before standing back up to face this guy,  i check by throwing a punch to his face but not connecting, then get close to him, where i reach up and punch him in the jaw.  Then i take his throat and bring him down to the ground for some ground fighting, but he stands back up knocking me to the ground, so i use his legs to propel me around so that im sitting behind and and i use the momentum to do a jumping roundhouse straight to his temple, he dropped to the floor, knocked out "that was almost a challenge" i laugh and stand up I've always told people, one roundhouse kick to the head and their knocked out, no one ever believed me, now they do.
