A Pyro And A Psycho

Shamans and Monsters

This evening Aunt Gabriela had a meeting with work and friends so she ended leaving us alone. Which meant I got to go to the arena. Ray and Martha came along since Ray didn't trust me alone with Logan while Martha didn't trust Ray.
"So you restarted the fights huh," Martha asked. I hummed.
"Of Aunt Gabriela learns she'll kill us," Ray stated.
"That's why you won't say anything!" Martha said. He rolled his eyes.
"Here we are!" I grinned.
"Mara!" Meg yelled running to us.
"You gotta see this! Mac is taking down three of the block's worst gangsters!" My eyes twinkled as I followed her.
"Let's go see," I said. We ended up watching a few fights until Martha said something that had me off.
"I'll go take a try," we all turned to her. Sweet Martha Donovan was going to fight.
"What!? No!" Ray yelled.
"Calm down, she knows what she's doing" I said holding him down. He furrowed his brows and sat back down.
"Holy fuck! Yeah!" Ty yelled. She handed him her sweater leaving her in her black shorts boots and green tank top.
"Please be careful," I said. I was worried too.
"It'll be okay," she smiled going down to the register. Ray started panicking while I was nibbling my nails.
"Why are you guys so worried?" Mac asked.
"She told you guys she'll be fine," Meg said.
"Its not like she'll die here," Sofia stated.
"You guys don't get it," Ray chuckled.
"We're not worried what will happen to her," he muttered. The match started. The muscle guy ran at Martha. She didn't move an inch. Then her hand rose.
"Its about the man," I ended. Blood splattered onto the dirt as the man's arm was torn.
"Holy shit," Mac stood up.
"Martha grew up among assassins, hunter, boxers and martial art masters, she's a foreigner to anything relating murder" Ray said.
"Adding to that she's started learning witchcraft and voudou with Aunt Gabriela, so imagine fighting her" I sighed at the man's body. Martha went on tearing the limbs off one by one.
"When she hears fight there's no way of stopping her," Ray stated.
"Damn, she's scary" Sofiane said. As Martha came back her hands bloodied along with her hair. She forgot to tie it so it dripped with blood.
"That was fun!" She chuckled. She turned to Ray.
"Go try! You'll love it!" He shook his head.
"You know I don't have boundaries like you or Mara" he smirked.
"I'll just shoot you when you go too far," I stated.
"You what?" Logan asked.
"Just kidding!" I said getting up.
"I'll be right back!" I said heading off to the bathroom.
On my way back I bumped into someone. I turned to the person. A girl, she was my age with kinda similar looks. Black ponytails and blue eyes over pale skin. She wore a white dress shirt and shorts her brown dance shoes were stained in blood. She held a black and pink jumped rope. Around her neck were neon pink headphones
"Ah! I'm so clumsy! Sorry!" She apologized.
"No I wasn't watching!" I apologized too. She stood back up analyzing me.
"Wait! You're that girl who won all her fights! Yeah I'd recognise that bat and hoodie anywhere!" She smiled. I chuckled.
"Am I," I replied.
"I'm a fan! I wish I had such talent, I love your style fast and alert!" She squealed. The girl reminded me of myself at a moment a mix between the old me and the me that wanted to be perfect.
"Thanks, by the way what's your name?" She smiled.
"Bridgette Dupain-Cheng, I'm an exchange from Paris!" She smiled holding her hand out. I smiled back. She gave off a friendly vibe.
"I'm Mara Donovan, nice to know you Bridgette," she squealed quietly.
"Its a dream, I get to meet a pro!" She says as I take her hand. The moment our hands touched I felt mine burn. She squeaked pulling away.
"Yeesh! Your hands are cold!" She yelped giggling. I blinked.
"Yours burned me though," I muttered looking at my reddened hand.
"What? How come?!" She asked. I chuckled.
"Anyway, tell me Bridgette you came here alone?" She shook her head.
"I'm with a friend and my boyfriend" she chimed. I nodded. We kept talking for a while in fact, I found myself being similar to her quite a bit. Without noticing we went on like that for hours. I didn't notice until Logan came to get me.
"Hey where have you been" he asked with a worried look.
"Oh, I met a friend here and we started talking guess I didn't realise" I chuckled.
"Who?" He asked. I turned around to Bridgette. She waved.
"Nice to meet you," he blinked then waved. Why is he acting weirdly.
"Anyways, the rest are waiting let's go" I nodded.
"I'll see you soon Bridgette!" She nodded waving enthusiastically to me. On the way I turned to Logan.
"Why were you so weird?" I asked. He shrugged.
"I'm not kin with people here," he replied. I nodded owishly. Even though the answer didn't convince me.
