Hello all. I love the Infernal Devices set, but if I'm honest I always thought Jem deserved more than Tessa. This story picks up at the end of Clockwork Angel. Please enjoy the read. I welcome any and all constructive criticism. Thank you!
Serriya
I wrap my body around his, pinning his arms to his sides with my legs. One, two, three times, my fist connects with the left side of his head by his ear. He struggles to get free of me. I throw my weight to the left knocking him off balance and he falls. Landing on top of him I continue to reign down blows on his head. Blood flows from his nose and above his eyebrow and beside his ear. My hands are quickly soaked in it. In desperation he reaches for my long braid of hair and yanks it, trying to throw me off balance. I duck my head close to his chest to keep myself from falling sideways and slam my elbow into his throat. He chokes and coughs desperate for air. Rolling off him and land several blows to his ribs. I feel three of them break with a sickening crack! He passes out and I hear the bell sounding our fight is ending.
"Once again, ladies and gentlemen, the winner is...Serriya Angeles!" The fight master comes to my side and holds my bloody fist in the air as the crowd cheers, yelling my name like a chant. Collectors move through the crowd collecting money owed on the fight. The master pushes me to the back of the ring where Keeper waits. As he wraps me in a cloak and starts cleaning my hands he whispers how well I did and how happy the Master will be with me. He guides me back to my lavish prison where I will rest until I am called upon for my nightly occupation.
