On the Other Side

Duel

"3"

"2"

"1"

"DUEL"

We all stand still and the arena goes silent.

I look at that girl with my sword in her grip and her face pales when she sees me looking at her. She runs away from me

Great idea

My eyes turn blood red and I reach her within seconds. I hear gasps from the crowd. I pull the sword from her hand. She hits my ankle and I grimace in pain. I was going to keep her ok but I don't think I will anymore.

I slash at her leg and watch her cry out. I then roundhouse kick her in the face and when she crumples into a ball, I turn, leaving her.

"11 left" the announcer shouts excitedly

A fist collides with my side and I fly across the arena landing the dirt. My vision becomes blurry but I pull myself up. A boy smirks at me. I run at him but he blocks my sword with his arm not minding the blood running down his hand.

I take two steps back, this won't be as easy as I thought.

I run up to him with my super speed and dodge all his attacks as quick as possibly. I position my sword and run under his arm cutting it clean

"9 left"

I wipe the blood of my sword off with my jacket
I look around seeing four people paired off in fights but that means there's one left

An arrow whizzes past me and I hear a voice curse out. I look in the direction it came from.

Another opponent comes out, I peel off my jacket and drop it on the floor.
I look up to see Evan

He runs at me and I use my hand to stop him coming any further. The crowd screams, we must be all they're focusing on now.
He pulls my hand away from his chest and picks me up and throws me away. I land on my feet and launch my sword at him like a javelin, he easily dodges. It lands behind him and I grab it when I do a 360 degree spin. I put as much power as I can into the kick as I whack him in the back of the knee. He drops down and I pull his arm back and place my sword at his neck. He pulls my hand forward, and I land on my back in front of him. He kicks away my sword and holds me down by my neck

"8 left"

I claw at his hand but he doesn't let go. It's over, why is he still doing it. Then I look into his eyes and I see why. They look wild, angry, frustrated at me. They look red

He's trying to kill me and I have no idea why

I feel around for something, I can use to defend myself. The arrow from earlier comes into view and I grab it, stabbing him the arm.

He shouts out in pain as I drag the arrow down his arm and snap it. It'll be harder to take out that way.

When I get up, I don't know if it's because of my anger or adrenaline. I kick him so hard that he flys into the wall of the arena, leaving a dent in it.

"Go to hell" I scream
