Prologue

In the Extreme Fighting World, also known as EFW, you have to fight to survive or die trying. This was the type of company that was all about status levels and climbing the status latter. Many fighters have died in this company and others have had life threatening injuries that have ended their careers and crushed their dreams of one day becoming a great champion. Before EFW became the company that it is today, it once had allowed fighters as young as three years old into the company to begin training but only allowed them to fight in the ring at the age of five years old. However, many parents did not approve of this as much as the company did. So they went to court to make it a law that male fighters had to be at least 15 years old and female fighters had to be at least 16 years old to fight in the company. Before this law was created, many young children died in their first matches and it became clear that young children should not have been in this company in the first place. Except for one very young fighter, who was thrown into the company at the the age of two years old and official became the youngest fighter to ever join the company. She began her journey with them and has fought for almost 15 years with this company to soon become the face of EFW.

Her name is Zendaya Anne Calloway but many people did not know her by that name because they only knew her by her ring name: Silent One. You see, she was an orphan because her mother died giving birth to her and her father died in a car accident three months before she was born. Her family refused to raise her because they thought that she was the Devil's child for killing her mother when she was born. They left her at the hospital and soon after she was put in the foster care system with all immediate family contact connections lost. She was lucky enough to get adopted at the age of one but it soon became a nightmare for her, because she began to get abused the minute they took her home. Her adoptive mother, named Amanda, loved her with all her heart but it was her husband, named Jorge, who hated her and began to abuse her. He would beat her to the point of death and would laugh about it when he would do it. Amanda would always try to stop it but she did not have the strength nor power to stop her husband from abusing the innocent baby. When he found out about EFW, he thrown her into the company almost immediately after finding out about it and forced her to fight. He saw her as a gold mine to become rich. If she refused to fight then he would rape her and if she won a match he would still rape her so she was raped either way. Amanda was forced to watch him rape her and she was so terrified of him when he did those things that she had nightmares of the things he did to Zendaya over and over.

Jorge would keep Zendaya in the basement and would not allow her outside unless she had to go to a match, train, or make an appearance. Since she was stuck in the basement all the time, he would lie and tell people that he was homeschooling her so that they would not raise any suspicious about her not being in school. The only clothes that she had to wear, other than her ring attire, was a torn black shirt and ripped jeans that she had for many years and was never washed. Amanda wanted to get away from everything that was going on in the nightmare she was living in, so she hung herself in the bedroom closet and that caused Jorge to hurt Zendaya even more because he thought that she took his only love away from him. When he was with his friends, they would get so drunk that they would rape Zendaya just for the hell of it. One day after work, he got so drunk that he grabbed a rake and began to slice her back open. Since she did not have any health insurance, the only way he knew how to heal a wound close was to burn it with fire. Every time her body grew in length, he would burn her more and more to close off the wounds because it kept reopening. She did not get much of a meal except for a slice of bread and a bottle of water a day to stay alive. With that diet, she was less than 100 pounds and extremely malnutrition. People began to see that she was not well taken care of and was beginning to worry about her.

Her career with EFW was a success, where she became the youngest fighter ever in the company to go undefeated and if she ever became defeated then she would be punished horribly by Jorge. The company only has 24 championship belts and Zendaya holds 12 of them and that makes her the best in the company and possibly the world. She never had much training except for the basic training that was taught in the beginning. However, she learned over the years by watching other fighters train and fight in the ring. On April 25, 2016, she had a career changing match because all of her championship belts were on the line. After she won the match, she snuck out of the back of the arena and ran away for her freedom. Now at the age of 16, she is a runaway but it did not bother her because she knew that she was free from Jorge and his devilish ways. She could be happy now. She still fought for EFW because it gave her some money for her to buy food to eat and to travel to the events that she had to be at. Since she did not have enough money for a hotel room, due to the fact that Jorge got most of her money, she would sleep in any alley she could find and against a dumpster every night instead. Although, she did not know that someone was watching her from afar.

A/N: This is a new story that I've written. So this is just a brief entrance of how Zendaya life was. I didn't want to leave y'all in the dark about her history. But who is watching her? Review to find out!
