Hey, thanks for the reviews! Here it goes. This chapter takes place right after the last one left off.
It was a sequence of fighting. Punch after block after punch after block. Whoever the other kid was he was a better fighter than I was. Not that much better, though, thankfully. I sneaked a look around while blocking a punch to see how we were doing. It looked as if we were winning but I couldn't be sure yet. Rumbles here, took a long time to end. It couldn't be over until a leader declared that his gang lost, and that would only happened when the gang leader realized he had to, as it was best for his gang. But it is really hard for a gang leader, any gang member for that matter, to swallow that kind of pride. This was the longest, hardest rumble I'd ever been in. I was lucky to be fighting that same guy the whole time. It was a perfect match. Neither of us was too big or strong for the other, which sucked because I couldn't win but he couldn't either.
"ENOUGH!" Someone suddenly cried, after about two hours of fighting. No one stopped, of course. I notice Riff make eye contact with the owner of the voice, who happened to be Kayed. They nodded at each other and Riff called to stop too. Still, no one stopped until each leader called it. Like magic, all punches and kicks and every other violent gesture stopped mid-air. Everyone looked to Kayed, him being the first to call. It was obvious why he had called. There were about five members of his gang lying around him groaning. He must've thought that he couldn't let anyone else get seriously hurt. But he knew people would get hurt. And five people aren't that many. I was really confused. When I realized that one of those people on the floor was his cousin, then it became evident. He and Riff shook hands, as did Jack and Joe. Various gang members helping those on the floor, they all left. The Falcons and us stood there panting, looking around at each other with slight smiles. Dally came up to me with a grin and threw an arm around me. I looked up to him and watched him laugh. Laughing seems to be contagious because I couldn't stop myself. Soon enough all of us, and all of the Falcons were standing there, looking around at each other, laughing.
What do you think? I apologize profusely for the lack of dialogue. Please tell me if you liked it.
