Saved by a mistake

Chapter 1

Left, left, duck.

Uppercut punch, roundhouse kick.

Finish with elbow to the jaw.

And cue final applause.

I wipe the bead of sweat off my forehead with my glove and lean against the side of the ring to catch my breath, before i look back down at the man twice my size that i floored in one of my best matches. A small smile comes to my mouth before i turn away to high five my manager/coach jerrick. He's been training me since i was 15, and when i finally got away from....them. i snatch the envelope with my money out of his hand and climb out of the ring. I look back to see jeffrey smiling. "See you later, sweetheart". I give him a small smile, he knows that i dont like to hang around after wards. I wave back at him and head to the locker room to grab my bag and head home. Taking my bag out of the locker and pulling my hoodie over my long black ponytail, as well as stuffing the envelope in the bag pocket i make my way out of the gym.

Turning down the side allayway, which is the shortcut to my apartement, i dont go down alleyways for fun, i glance down to see what looks to be the equivalent of three shadows trailing behind me. Shit. I walk faster not wanting any trouble as i can feel my body is still sore from the previous fights. I look back up to the end of the allay and see another two shadows. Shit, shit, shit. I am so screwed. Doing the smartest thing i can think of i turn to the three behind me. Id prefer three to five at once, which would happen once i reach the end. I take them by suprise when i suddenly drop my bag whilst spinning on my heel, high kicking the nearest guy in the head. He drops to the ground close to unconcious quickly. The other two look at their fallen friend and one of them charges at me. The smaller guy, it always has to be the smaller guy, trying to act like they de bomb. Yeah i know i used de bomb, how cool am i. He punches me in the gut making me double over in pain and i lift my hand up sharp and quickly, breaking his nose. The other guy goes to punch me in the face. I quickly duck which causes a painful moan to escape from me. I swipe my leg out taking advantage of his loss of balance. He put too much weight in the punch and topples to the floor. I try to get up when suddenly i feel arms around me, dragging me through the alley way. My body is too sore to try to tackle the person dragging me. I feel my body slowly start to shut down as i loose conciousness to the pain. Damn.
