Trouble in Hell

Chapter 9: Please leave me alone.

•Tessa's POV•

I pulled my bag over my shoulder then walked out of my changing room where Bella stood waiting for me. We both won our fights with no difficulty.

Bella didn't really fight Tiago. She more like teased him. He spent 5 minutes in the ring trying to hit Bella and every time she would dodge and he would end up behind her. In time he collapsed in exhaustion and lied on the floor looking up at Bella. She literally tapped him on the arm and won the match getting her prize money.

My boxing round helped me remember what I was doing with Tyler, Lucas, and Justin. I was going to confront them on why they never told me was a Justin was a boxer here.

Immediately, both of us ended up refusing to fight each other, him claiming he didn't want to hit a girl and me not making any claims.

That didn't make me not want to smack him back to life after I killed him.

He found another opponent while I had to wait for the quiet crowd to give me one. So someone brave enough came up and called himself Bolt.

We got a few punches in each other and everything till I just followed on like Bella and tired him out. Then when he was slow and tired enough I hit him in the face and he fell on the floor. I even let the referee count down from 10 TWICE while he took a break on the floor. Obviously, he got up again tried to hit me but he missed him of course and I hit him in the stomach and he fell again. The referee counted down again and he never stood up so...

I won.

I won my money and found out we have a sore loser in our hands.

Then in my second fight in the Midnight Tournament, I fought a guy named Twist.

You know those guys in the movies that fight doing flips, hip hop hand spins and have long dreadlocks, tattoos everywhere and remind you of Lil Wayne somehow?

Yeah, he looked exactly like them.

I know I've got the moves but dodging his hits and fighting a fork full of spaghetti is a bit confusing for me. But with the few HARD hits in special points of his body he lost.

He'll be Okay... Right?

But I don't care.

Hours later we are walking home with our prize money to catch some sleep for school in a couple of hours.

"Okay, let's do this. We start with my plan and if they don't believe it or it doesn't work we go with yours." She thought about it as we reached the exit.

"Fine but if yours fails, you owe me."

"Fine." She rolled my eyes and we walked out of the building. When we got out we walked past the bar making our way through the dark streets. As usual, Bella would walk under the street lights kicking a stone and I would be in the shadow listening to the wind blow past me, my hood up hiding my eyes and nose. We walked past a strip club and I felt someone come up behind me slowly. The first thing I did was move my elbow back and it connected with something behind me then spun around me hit them in the face.

"Shit!" A deep voice cussed and the person bent down I quickly made some space between us ready to strike again if needed. My eyes connected with a familiar head of long brown annoying hair.

"Lucas!"

"You know your match is over right?" He wheezed out as he clutched his stomach.

"Why would you-" I started, but was interrupted.

"Whoa! Chill!"
"We come in peace!"

I looked to my side when I heard two voices yell out. Bella stood in her fighting position with her fists aimed at Tyler and Justin as they raised there hands in surrender. I noticed Justin had a slight bruise on his cheek that was a dull purple. I mentally face palmed myself and it triggered the ringing in my ears slightly making me regret the action.
