"Hey" I whisper loudly but not loud enough for the others to hear.
I get near the wall again sitting on the bed and I hear Leo moving closer as well.
"What?" He whispers too and I chuckle.
"I'm sorry if this is too personal , but I've been meaning to ask you.." I pause a bit thinking If I should say it or not but fuck it I already started this conversation might as well continue it. "Why are you here? And why do you hate Hunter that much?"
"Kookie boy , you're full of questions. But I find it normal since you just got dragged in here without explanations. So let me explain and make things clear to you "
I feel a wave of curiosity flowing inside of me and I really have to , I need to know.
"Hunter and I.. had a street fighting battle right? Well , he won me. That was 2 years ago. He liked my bravery and that's why he locked me in here. Without my will. He might tell you everyone comes here with their will but I didnt. Me and you didn't "
"So you're locked in here for 2 years?" I ask surprised.
"Yeah..." he says in a husky voice before lightning up another cigarette. "while being here everything seemed fun to me the first month. I won 2 battles and saw many other. But slowly I started getting tired of it." He sighs and I stay silent because I can see this is something that hurts him.
"I told Hunter i want to go to my family again and.. and..." his breathing became heavier by the seconds " he fucking killed my family so i wouldn't have a reason to get out of here!" He punched the wall beside me and i startled a bit from this sudden movement. " i had a wife and a daughter too! He killed them too! He killed everyone I fucking loved! Everyone!"
He was shouting and I heard Jason silently laughing ,that guy keeps pissing me off lately. A lot.
"I'm sorry about this Leo.."
"Don't be." He takes a deep breath calming himself down while taking another puff of the cigarette. His voice came back to normal whispering " so never ever tell Hunter you want to get out of here and why. He'll kill them all. You seem like a nice guy.. take care of yourself because I found my fate in life. It's me being here , I'll share my last breath in here too."
"Thank you for taking care of me Leo" I say heartily meaning each word. I'm really thankful for him.
That now losing him would make me sad.
"What about you Kookie. Tell me your story" his question catching me off guard but I decide to tell him anyways.
He's the only person I could trust in here. And if I never get out of here at least I'll try my best to keep him alive. Even if I'm weak right now.
"Me.. uhh.. I had a battle invitation also with Hunter I won him and he wanted a rematch but he said he'll torture me more than y'all because I won him.. and stole his "I'm the best streetfighter" title."
Leo chuckles and I look at the wall confused waiting for him to continue.
"I know that. About your life" he finally says and now I inhale deeply before speaking.
"My life has been complicated. My father was a streetfighter too and sometimes he would teach me how to fight also and I liked it. One day he went into a fight and that person... killed him." My blood was boiling inside of me seeking for revenge
"What happened afterwards?"
"That bastard came and killed my mom in front of me also. I was both at my father's and mother's death and he had no chill killing both of them brutally in front of me."
"Do you know his name?"
"Ryan" that name making me nervous and angry at the same time.
"Is that why you were so scared watching Brat being killed like that?"
"Yes.. and in the bathroom at the fight with Jason. I was scared. I thought they would do the same to me also." I say sadness floating all over my body. I felt ashamed for being like this.
"Don't worry Kookie. As long as you have me here I'll try my best to teach you a few things in case I die before you. Because you deserve it." His words take me by surprise , Leo has a really soft spot for me in his heart and he isn't afraid to show it.
That makes me extremely happy tho. Because even tho he is just 30 I could feel him as my father. He had his vibe.
"Thank you again Leo. But you'll never die not as long as I'm here breathing" I say coldly and I could hear him chuckle.
"Thanks"
My door opens suddenly causing me to jump , a bodyguard was standing there looking at me.
"Come on" he says taking my arm pulling me outside.
"What? Let go of me!" I push my arm harshly out of his grip and he glares at me.
"It's your time to fight , don't make me use this to you " he points at the gun hanging on his belt and I sigh.
"Fight?!" We hear Leo shout banging on the metallic door for it to open. "He isn't fighting! Open this fucking door! Now!"
