Fight Ring
Prologue:
WHAM! His fist collided with my already bruised face.
"Please! Stop!" I whimper, crawling forward through the sand. I dug my nails deep into the nasty sand.
"You wanna plead with me, you worthless scum?!" Kaycee lunged toward me, his well-toned bicep rippled as it swung toward my face.
"No!" I jump to my feet, and do a dive front roll. As I roll myself onto my feet behind Kaycee, I find myself longing to be home, curled into Kat, or talking to my mother, chilling with Mirage, or hanging out with my brothers, or even talking with my abusive uncle, Jacob. I find myself spinning, and jumping into a backward roundhouse, which collides with Kaycee's hard skull.
Crunch-snap! I watch as slowly Kaycee crumples, and falls into a lifeless heap onto the nasty sand floor.
What have I done? The question races through my mind, and my legs become numb, and I toppled to the floor. As I did so, the guards entered.
"Stay where you are, Dinosapri." A voice spoke. It was the lead guard, Dallas.
"Dino…" I whisper. "It's Dino." Dallas gave me a look, and nodded.
"Alright, Dino, stay where you are." Dallas moved toward Kaycee's limp bleeding body.
I sat only four feet from Kaycee, feeling terrible about killing him.
It was a good kick, D. You did what had to be done. My mother's voice spoke softly into my ear, as if she heard my prayer, which I had sent earlier.
Mom… Where are you? Are you looking for me? Are you going to help me? I ask silently.
My lovely son, I will find you, I will save you. Don't worry. She spoke again. Baby don't worry, 'bout a thing. 'Cause every little thing, is gonna be alright, alright. I said don't worry, 'bout a thing, 'cause every little thing, is gonna be, A-Okay. She sang softly into my head.
I miss ya mom. And I'm sorry I yelled at you… I felt terrible. I'd snapped and told her she meant nothing to me. And now here she was, telling me not to worry, and calling me her lovely son. Then again, I'm her baby boy.
As they walked me back, I sang quietly, almost silently to myself.
"Baby don't worry, 'bout a thing. Because every little thing, is gonna be alright, alright. I said baby don't worry, 'bout a thing, 'cause every little thing, is gonna be, A-Okay." I repeated this over and over again, the last A-Okay, saying it slowly like she had. Dallas was walking beside me. He didn't seem to like my humming and singing, but he didn't tell me to stop. Maybe he knew that this was my calming effect. I wouldn't fight if he let me continue singing. So he did. As we approached my cell, well, cage, I felt uneasy, and instantly threw up all over the floor, and the back of Monty, the guard I knew was on Hornet, Percy, Spike, and I's side.
"Oh gross…" He stood still as one guard helped him strip his jacket off. His white tank top matched ours.
"Tyson, Flynn, take Dino to the doctors. He needs care. I mean, he's obviously traumatized. But he will need tight guarding. Monty will guard Dino. For it is Monty Dino trusts, so it will be Monty who stands guard." Dallas shooed them off, and they took me to see Dr. Creeps.
Once half-way down the hall, I passed out.
As the last light that I saw, was one of a flashlight.
"Dino?" A familiar voice called to me. "Come back now!"
Review please! :) Chapter One coming soon! Dino is male! They call him a he many times!
