Broken Souls

Introduction

Left. Right. dodge. A slight limp on his right leg applying all bodyweight to his left. Fatigue covers his face giving me the upper hand. I make a fake jab to the right then swing to the left allowing my fist to line up with his face. A beautiful crunch filled the air.

 "Fucking hell!" I smirk taking a step back analyzing his next move. My face falls blank as I see him trying to do the same. His nose sideways with blood dripping onto the ground. This fucker won't last much longer. I hear something gliding through the air. By the sound of it, my father just threw me my favorite knife. Oh hell yeah. The knife skillfully lands in my hand and I throw it back up in the air around me getting used to the weight and momentum of the knife. "Show off." 

"Oh, I'll show you show off."

Throwing the knife it glides through the air landing back in my hand as I make a jab towards the left. A swift kick to the ribs causes him to hunch over in pain allowing me to sweep his legs of the I hear their body crash to the ground. "Again." Then the man jumped back up getting in position before we were given the okay to go again. 

"Watch out you might get beat by a girl again," I said with a smirk on my face. 

"Oh trust me if it's you taking me down. I'll let you do it all day." He winked at me as we both have sweat dripping down our bodies. 

"Stop flirting with my daughter and actually give her a challenge for once."

"Yes sir." A small laugh makes its way from me. No one has been able to beat me but my father. I would like to see this motherfucker try. 

"Hey, Pete. How about you actually try this time."

"Oh, you're going to get it now princess." He makes his first jab at me while I dodge it with ease. He makes another attempt and I grab his arm twisting it behind his back holding the knife to his neck. 

"It's like you're not even trying man" 

"Alright, Thea give him a break."

"Damn what did you teach her. Is she some damn robot?" A husky laugh filled the air. 

"She is the next one. Soon enough you'll be calling her boss." A proud smile takes over his face. I just hope that time isn't soon. 

But then again when are people like me allowed to have hope in a world like this.
