Stargaze Pack

The Fight

Today was the day Asher would prove his worth, he knew it. He and Lucifer had trained hard in the morning, by the end Asher had learned the side-kick. Lucifer had told him to meet him at the house by noon.

Now they were walking together to the Stargaze Pack Academy.

"Do you think I can take him?" Asher asked worriedly.

"Without a doubt." Lucifer ruffled Asher's dark hair. "You have better skill, he only has weight and strength working for him. No offense to him, but he's as dumb as a rock. And that would be an insult to a rock!" They both laughed together as they reached the clearing the fight would be held. The clearing was behind the Stargaze Pack Academy and was fairly large. The clearing consisted of bleachers, warriors, and a field laid in the middle. The field was where the fight would happen.

Asher spotted Nick by a few senior warriors who seemed to be enjoying his company. Asher snorted and followed Lucifer to one of the sides of the field.

"Your fight is last... we will wait here until the fights are over. When they are we'll move closer." Asher nodded at Lucifer's words.

A horn blared signaling the first fighters to move onto the field. Asher watched a a young boy, maybe fourteen, stride onto the field. His scrawny body surprised Asher, many werewolves were strong-looking.

On the other side of the field a boy, the same age as the scrawny boy walked onto the field with confidence. Except this boy had a strong build with cold blue eyes. Asher envied the scrawny boy because there was no way he was gonna win or even leave without a black eye.

A second horn blared and the fight began. The cold blue-eyed boy launched forward and attacked the scrawny one. Instantly the scrawny boy moved aside and kicked the other boy to the ground. Cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd.

The blue-eyed boy got up and lunged forward but the scrawny boy was too fast and flipped him on his back. Laughs erupted from everywhere and now Asher envied the blue-eyed boy. He was not expecting such a fight.

The scrawny boy finished off the fight by slamming the blue-eyed boy into the ground. The crowd erupted in cheers and the scrawny boy looked up with his head held high. He was the champion.

The day went on from one fight to the other. Finally, it was time for Asher's fight. The first horn blared and Asher looked to Lucifer.

"You got this, Ash." Asher gulped and walked onto the field. Nick ran on from the other side of the field, his face hard. Asher walked up to the man in the middle.

"The fight starts when the horn blares. You will be given five minutes to complete the fight. The winner will be the one who throws the other out of the red circle or knocks the other out," Asher looked around and saw the red circle around them, "good luck, boys!" with that the man ran off.

Nick eyed Asher and snarled softly, "You're dead, pup!" Asher curled his lip and stepped back into his position. Nick took his place to with a grin on his nasty face.

The alarm blared- the fight had begun. Nick immediately lunged and Asher sidestepped easily. Nick growled and kept lunging trying to wear Asher out, which Asher knew and conserved his energy. It was time for Asher to attack. Asher lunged forward and threw a punch to Nick's face but missed by a hair. Nick laughed and kicked Asher in the ribs. Asher gasped and stepped backward. Nick took the moment to grab Asher and flip him onto his back.

Asher struggled on his back but remembered Lucifer's training and rolled to his side. Nick fell into the ground and Asher jumped on top of him. Nick grunted and struggled underneath him. Asher lost his grip on Nick's sweaty body and fell off. Nick then grabbed Asher's hair and pulled, causing him to cry out in pain. The crowd erupted in cheers at his pain.
