Bad vs Bad

Chapter 37

Valeskas p.o.v

Ever since we landed I have done nothing else than train, eat and sleep. We are staying at Martinos old apartment for the time being, and even though Mary has tried to spice it up I still remember all of the nights I stayed here because I was too scared to go home, or all of the times I hid money here so they wouldnt take them.

Tonight is the night that I will go up against Ziko. All eyes will be on us until they only look at the winner and a corpse. But Im not going to back down, not now.

We were all getting ready to leave and Ive been ignoring the guys totally the whole day to stay focused.

The arena is just like I remember it and all around us I could hear the familiar sound of Russian being spoken all around us. Tonight I have extra security since its the final. We pushed our way through the crowd and to the changing room. Once inside I began stretching and wrapping my knuckles.

A hand landed on my shoulder and I jumped in surprise.

Im sorry if I scared you, baby it was only Cayden. I turned around to face him and noticed that everyone else was gone.

Its okay I looked up at him and just then I realized how much I missed being with him.

Without saying anything we both hugged each other.

Youre going to be awesome, Love I didnt answer him, I just tried to take in these last moments before I leave for the ring. Because this may be the last time.

Valeska, youre going up in 3 minutes Martino said soft.

I know a sudden wave of happiness swept over me.

Thank you all for helping me get here and I hope I will make you proud I smiled and looked at all of my friends.

You always make us proud Mary almost had tears in her eyes and I hugged her.

Thank you all for everything I smiled at them before I made my way to the door that led out to the ring.

Wait Cayden took my arm and turned me around.

He smashed his lips onto mine for perhaps the last time. He kissed me hard and hugged me harder.

I love you, Valeska. I love you so, so much he placed kisses around my face.

I love you too, Cay Cay I gave him one last kiss before I left for the best success in my life of the worst let down.

I walked out in the tunnel and began clearing my thoughts.

Its now or never. Win or lose. Live or die.

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath to steady my nerves. The tunnel to the ring was gross and moldy with a horrendous smell, just like all of the fighting arenas Ive been in Russia.

In the first corner we have the unbeatable, the legendary THUNDER! the commentator's voice showed great appreciation against Ziko, just like everybody else.

I could hear the crowd violently roar when Ziko was presented.

And in the other corner we have the outcast yet powerful LIGHTNING! I stepped out into blinding spotlights and to my surprise the crowd didnt bu, they cheered. For me.

I entered the ring and faced him. This will be the last fucking time I will take his shit. I looked his in the eyes and it was like to look in a mirror but this time the mirror shall shatter. With stone cold faces he shook hands before the three dings went off.

He spared no time to throw in the first punch and everything became red.
