The cheers and shouts bounded through Jace's head like a lullaby. He knew this was where he
belonged, in the ring with his fans shouting his name in the underground arena. He'd been
fighting illegally since he was 16 when he found it the place by accident. He loved the
excitement of the fight and definetly appreciated the money from all bets made on him. If he
won he got paid well from the owners of Pandemonium, the arena. Jace was the leading
champion and had won all of his matches for 3 years straight. His only big competition was
Sebastian Verlac. Sebastian had been the champion until Jace came and took it from him at
the ripe age of 16.
Making his way up and into the ring he shed his shirt earning loud shouts from the
females in the audience. Jace was completely confident, tonight he would just be going up
against a nobody probably trying to just get some money. Boy were they in for it.
Turning around to face the audience he raised his arms pumping up the crowd. And
suddenly they were silent. He followed there gazes and laughed.
Standing at the entrance to the stadium was a girl. Not only was she just a girl but she
was also at least a foot shorter than him, although her big mob of ginger hair that sat atop her
head gave her another inch or two.
Laughing Jace shouted, "Is this a joke?" The crowd laughed right along with them as
they stared at the short vixen that made her way up to the arena. He also noticed a tall boy
trailing behind her with his phone in hand.
"How did they even get in here?" he muttered to himself.
Raising his eyebrows he watched her step into the ring. That's when he announcer came on stage.
"Alright, ladies and gentlemen tonight's fight is ready to begin. Our first fighter is Jace Herondale"
The announcer paused as waves of shouts and cheers busted from the audience. Jace
smirked and looked at his opponent and was surprised to see a look of indifference on her face.
She didn't look one bit intimidated.
As the cheers died out the announcer continued, "And in this corner of the ring is… his
opponent who hasn't given her name."
At that the entire place grew quiet. The only thing that could be heard was the video game
music playing on the phone of the girl's buddy along with his sarcastic "Wooh-hooh." Jace was
awed that the boy showed no worry for his friend that was about to be destroyed.
Looking back towards the girl he noticed her hands were only wrapped in tape.
"You know," he said in a condescending voice, "when you try to block my hits your hands are
going to get hurt without gloves. That's a really stupid move."
"Actually it'd only be stupid if I needed to block your hits." she replied.
"And why wouldn't you need to block them?" he asked looking at her as if she was stupid.
Which he probably was, he thought to himself, considering she'd even stepped foot into the
place.
"I won't need to block them because I'll beat you faster than you can throw them." she said
nonchalantly. With that statement the entire crowd gasped and "Ooohh'd" at her comment.
Slightly embarrassed Jace scoffed, "Let's just start I'm getting bored." Stepping into ready
stance he waited for the familiar whistle to blow and begin the fight. At the sound of it he started
forward putting his annoyance and anger into his punch but was surprised to feel nothing. Jace
was pissed! He was specifically known for his speed. The audience was quiet for a moment
before jumping out of their seats and shouting. Focusing his attention on the fight he spun and
was met with a four hit combo straight to his face. And it hurt!
Before he could move he felt his legs knocked out from under him and landed on his ass.
Looking up he saw the red vixen smirking with her hands on her hips. He was in awe.
She turned looking at the announcer, "I believe I've won, now I want my money."
The announcer wordlessly handed her an envelope containing the money. Only when she
tossed it to her friend did he look up and smiled saying, "I'm proud of you."
"Yah, Yah, just go back to your game." she said smiling back.
Walking back over to Jace she grabbed his chin.
"That was fun," she said, "maybe we could do it again some time." Kissing his cheek she got up
and began to walk away and he couldn't help but stare at her perky ass swaying as she
walked.
"Wait!," the announcer shouted, "Whats your name?"
Looking over her shoulder the girl grinned and replied, "You can call me Rubylocks."
