Love at First Sight

Chapter 12

TOOTHLESS P.O.V

The Death Gripper stared at me, his long tusks sliding out, hissing at me and waving its scorpion like tail in the air, I stared back with dark eyes, swaying my tail dangerously then we circled around the arena, our paces slow, glaring into each other's evil like eyes. Then he leapt at me but I dodged to the side then pinned him down, quickly leaping up onto the bars to protect myself from his tail piercing into my neck. The Death Gripper scuttled around the arena like a bug, leaping up onto the walls and grabbing my tail, tugging me down onto my back then pinned me down with one paw, his saliva like poison dripping besides me.
"You disgusting little worm! How dare you think you can enter this arena and steal my spotlight!" He snarled down at me with blood thirsty eyes. I growled up at him, struggling to push away his big paw on my chest. I felt his long claws digging in and gripping onto it. I shrieked in pain then kicked him in the stomach, scrambling up and standing with blood dripping down from my chest onto the floor, but I stood there glaring at him still. He struggled to get back up onto his legs, shaking and extending its long teeth so purple venom dripped from his mouth and the tip of his tusks. I won't lie, I was rather scared because he was much bigger than me but there wasn't much I could do. I couldn't run away like the coward I felt I was at this moment, I couldn't beg for mercy because that was never an option in battle but I was trying my best.
"Filthy little bug!!" He screeched, leaping at me again but missing as I dodged him and slammed him into the wall where the cages were. I ran backwards and paced back and forth watching him rise up and shaking off, hissing louder and shaking his tail dangerously. Scuttling from side to side so fast my vision was a blur, then all of a sudden I was pounced on and slammed to the floor then swung into the wall, I heard a loud crack assuming it was either the wall or my back but I had no time on my paws to find out. I stood up shakily feeling my body heating up with pain as I put pressure on my left leg, then collapsed in an awkward position and was pinned down by my neck, feeling the tip of his tail circling my neck and slowly digging in. I shrieked and scrambled my body around like a worm stuck on the end of a fishing line.

I was done

I couldn't do anything but suffer there in his grasp, pinned down on my stomach helplessly
