Chapter Thirteen - Mariah's News and The Battle.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~RAY'S P.O.V~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I was still preparing for the fight when Mariah came outside to talk to me.
She still looked quite pale. The others were still sleeping. "Hey Mariah.
What's wromg? You not feeling well?" I asked her. "Well.....I uh.......uhm...
....Ray I've gotta tell you something." Mariah said. My eyes went wide. I
nodded. She continued. "I don't think there's a gentle way to break this to
you Ray. So I'm just gonna say it." Mariah said. "Oh my god. She isn't
breaking up with me. Is she?" I thought. "Ray, I'm pregnant." Mariah said.
"O.K. I think I'm gonna faint now." I thoght. I was in total shock. We only
did anything once. "Ray, are you allright?" Mariah asked. "Great, I have to
say something. I don't want her to think I hate her." I thought to myself.
"I don't know what to say." I said. "Just ell me you don't hate me." Mariah
said. "I could never hate you Mariah. I'm just not sure what to say at the
moment." I said. "I guess you're as shocked as I was, when I found out."
Mariah said. "You do know what'll happen if I lose against my father in two
days?" I said. "I know what they say. You'll be banished from the village
forever if you lose." Mariah said. I nodded. "I know that you won't lose."
Mariah said. "Kai flored your father in one minute. I know that you can do
the same. I know you can win." Mariah said. "Thanks Mariah. I don't know if I
can. But I will do my best." I said to her. She nodded. "There's only one
thing I'll say." Mariah said to me. I looked at her. "Don't let him overpower
your mind. He only has mental control over you. Once you realise that, and
break that control. You'll win, no problem." Mariah said. I smiled. "Good
advice. Thanks Mariah. I will do what I have to do." I said.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Today was the day. I had to battle. I saw my father drive up. The others were
all behind me. The Head elder was there aswell. He led us to the ring. Which
was a retangular sandpit. (A/N; Picture Shaolin or some sort of martial arts
movie) We followed the elder to the center of the ring. The others had to
watch from the sidelines. If anyone tried to interfere then I'd be
disquallified.

I looked at my father. He always seemed to enjoy beating me and Teri and
Brian. He especially liked beating my mother. Today, I'd get to give back
some of what I'd gotten. I had to be prepared for him to fight dirty. And I
had to be prepared for him to try and screw with my mind.

He decided to make his move first. He sent a right hook at me. I was prepared
for this. This was how he usually started out, when he beat me. I dodged.
Then I threw a punch into his gut. He bentover in pain. I waited for him to
stand up. I wouldn't fight dishonourably. He stood straight again. I gave him
a reverse-roundhouse, kick, to the back. He was sent forward. He recovered
quickly. He back-kicked me in the gut. That winded me for a few moments. My
father gave me a right hook, and then back-handed me.

I regained my stance and blocked when he went to punch me in the face. Then I
side-kicked him in the jaw. I heard it crack. I smirked. "Oh well. That
injury's not gonna heal for another two months." I thought. I gave him a
right-hook, a left-hook. a right-cross and a left-cross. All to his broken
jaw. I actually saw him wince. I wouldn't show any pity on him. I'd show him
as much pity as he had ever shown me, my Mom, Teri or Brian. Fueled by my
anger I kept sending punches.

He kept trying to punch me back. But I blocked each and every punch. Then he
finally caught me in the jaw. I felt blood leak from my lip. I front-kicked
him in the stomach, then I side-kicked him in the chest. Winding him. Then I
sweep-kicked him. He fell on the ground. I grasped his shirt, and looked at
his face. Then punched him full force, knocking him out cold.

I looked at the Head elder. He nodded. "Ray has won this match. Ray, your
father is banned from this village. If he ever shows his face to you or
yours. Then you have the right to kill him. That is sacred law." The elder
looked at me. I'd never felt such relief and happiness in my whole life. I
grinned at my friends. My brother and sister and my Mom were happy too. I
could see it in their faces. Mariah and Teri ran over to hug me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Later that evening. After I had changed, and cleaned all my cuts and bruises.
I sat thinking. Now I had to figure out what to do. Mariah was pregnant. Now
I had to decide what I was gonna do. There was only one honourable thing I
could do. And that was marry her. The World Championships were in a month. I
would just have to decide exactly what to do. And I'd have to decide soon.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ME: Hope everyone enjoyed. I'd apreiciate any comments about the fight scene.
