Bad vs Bad

Chapter 38

Valeskas p.o.v

When reality came back I was over ZIko throwing punches at him. He was bloody which means Ive been doing this for a while. I, on the other hand, didn't feel any blood or bruises.

I knew Ive just had a black-out but I could just think of this as the ultimate payback. If he dies so what.

I began throwing harder and harder punches, taking out all of my anger over 16 years. I saw how he began falling more and more unconscious. Finally. His eyes rolled back and his eyes closed. I threw a few extra punches before I picked him up by the collar of his tank top and sent a hard punch making his head slam into the floor. I took his hand and checked for his pulse. It was gone and so was he. My biggest fear, just left.

I stood and the judge came over to check his pulse too.

"LIGHTNING IS TONIGHT'S WINNER!" the judge put my hand over my head. I won.

The guys, Martino, Mary and Cayden came up to the ring cheering and congratulating me, but why do I feel no happiness? How do I almost feel regret? This was one of the most evil persons in the world and my brother. And I killed him. Around me were everyone cheering yet why am I not doing it? Am I sad that I killed a brother that has been abusive against me my whole life? I cant be.

People came out with my reward, cash and a trophy, I take them but I still feel nothing. Why? Why do I regret it?

Valeska? Cayden placed a hand on my shoulder.

Why are you crying? am I crying?

I reached up and touched my face, feeling warm tears on my fingertips. I looked down at my hand and saw the blood, all of that blood, all of Zikos blood, soaked into my bandages.

"Martino, take Valeskas bounty. Somethings wrong with her, Ill take her to the changing room"

He took my arm and pulled me along to the changing room. He closed the door behind us and made me sit down on the bench.

"How are you feeling, Valeska?"

"I-I dont know. I killed him. I swore to myself I would never kill anyone, yet I killed him. I killed Ziko! When I snapped out of my black-out I thought fuck it. This will be the payback Ive always wanted then why do I not feel relieved? My biggest nightmare, the single person that scared me more than anyone else is dead, because of me. He will never terrorize me again. But why am I crying?! Why am I still scared!?" I rested my head in my hands and Cayden stroke my back.

"I'm not going to say I understand, because I don't, but I can somewhat relate. My parents were sometimes abusive against me and my brother and when they died I cried, I bawled my eyes out even though I hated them, because they were still my parents. Just like you, he was still your brother even though you hated him he was your brother"

I looked up at him and he gently smiled at me.

"But who would ever love a killer?"

"I. I would love a killer. Because I love you. I loved you before the fight and I love you after the fight, and for all eternity, I love you"
