Hell On Earth

Chapter X: Abigail's challenge

A huge grin started to grow on Abigail's face. I've seen some very egotistical smiles, but Abigail's was perhaps the worst I had seen.

"The condition I have for you," Abigail said. " Is to beat me in hand-to-hand combat. Out of all the people who attempted to do so, have failed to challenge me."

I know that Abigail was being very arrogant and trying to get a rise out of me, but don't let her name fool you. She looked as strong as an ox and was nearly as tall as me and I'm 6'4. I had to think carefully before going toe-to-toe with her. In fact, her people were jeering at me about me not having a chance, and personally, I was having small doubts.

"I'll accept your challenge," I said.

It was at that moment that I realized that I fucked up because she instantaneously took me down with a Judo take-down. At first, I was out of breath due to the unexpected move, but I was able to recover and get back to my feet. At the same time, her people decided to form a circle so that it would only be me and Abigail. From the jump, Abigail was able to perform a series of kicks, punches, and grabs; in which I was helplessly whipped around.

"Have you had enough yet," Abigail boasted."You're not strong enough or fast enough to beat me."

She continued her assault on me and man I thought Tyson whooped my ass in school. But the one thing that Abigail was most annoyed about was the fact that I kept getting back up: I guess you could say I'm one tough and stubborn son of a bitch. Bruises and blood dripped from my body and I could see everyone was watching helplessly with Taylor not even looking. Then, I was grabbed by the collar and her strength nearly matched a grown man's.

"This pussy won't even fight," Abigail gloated. " He's probably smart for giving up."

While the crowd was cheering Abigail on, I was able to recover fast enough to realize that she had loosened her grip and that the only way to escape was to fight as my life depended on it. Then, I bit her fingers and drew blood. As she screamed in pain and cursed at me, I grabbed nearby objects and started throwing them at her, making her angrier, then she charged.At the last second, I was able to dodge and throw her momentum into a brick wall that was behind me and she hit hard. I think I even broke her nose too because when she fell, her whole face was covered in blood. The crowd was completely shocked at what they had witnessed and immediately pointed weapons on me.

"You killed her," a man yelled. " You motherfuckers are going to pay now."

"N-n-no," Abigail groaned.

Realizing that their leader was still alive, the rest of the 5 Fangs stepped down from attacking us.

"W-w-we had a deal and now I must keep it," Abigail said.

From this point forward the 5 Fangs were our most powerful allies yet, but we wouldn't be done with meeting new people. It would be 3 days before we met groups such as the cannibalistic Vultures, or the kind-hearted Virginians. We had our fair share of enemies and friends, but our biggest threat, the 5-6 terrorist group, would be our most brutal and bitter enemies.
