I smile a feral smile and take a gulp of my Molson. "You've never seen me fight though. So don't count you chickens before they hatch."

he scoffs and says " I bet you a thousand dollars , you won't last a minute in the Cage with Big John. "

I shrug " Make it double and I'll last 3 minutes."

he smiles and holds out his hand .

"Hope you're prepared to go to the local hospital little girl."

"We'll see." I shake his hand and make my way towards the Cage door.

I pop my neck , rolling my shoulders in anticipation of the upcoming fight.

it's been too long since I've hit something. I needed to let off some steam. " OK Princess, what's your fighting name. " says the referee

I bare my teeth at him " Call my Princess again and you'll think twice about it." he holds up his hands in a placating way. " No offense, ma'am.

I roll my eyes at him and say

"Accalia : the she-wolf".

He raises his eyebrows at the name, but shrugs and makes his way over to the announcer. I watch as the announcer looks behind the referee to see me . I honestly believe I see dollar bill signs coming out of his eyes when his eyes land on me. I smile at him, making sure to show plenty of teeth, especially my fangs. He goes pale all of a sudden , I attune to what he says next" Tell John not to hold back. If he has a chance , take that freak out, any means necessary , you hear me Mark? I don't want her to come out of that cage with out some kind of physical damage

visible. " " But Tony, she won't last a minute in the Cage with Big John, why you want to take her out? " I ignore what ever Tony says next as I step up to the cage door. I wretch it open without an introduction, sauntering my way into the middle of the cage. I take in my surroundings as I start to get cat calls from. the rowdy crowd surrounding the cage.

"Alright folks ! looks like we have an underdog fight here to night! Last minute change to the line up. Weighing in at a hundred eighty five pounds, standing at five feet seven inches... I give you the Fierce Lady of the wilds, Accalia : THE SHE-WOLF! Accalia will go up against our reigning champ! Weighing in at three hundred pounds of pure muscle! I present to you your champ! BIG JOHN ANDERSON!" The crowd cheers on Big John as he stomps his way into the cage. He takes one look at me and licks his lips in a sick display of lust . " Hey baby , how about instead we head out back for a different kind of ...entertainment?"

I cross my arms and glare at him. " Do I look like I'm interested in any kind of sexual interlude with a horny Neanderthal, who's a dick , but just because you are one, that doesn't mean it'll make yours any bigger!" His face turns red in anger. Finally enough chit chat. He runs at me , swinging a punch towards my jaw. I'm smaller than he is , so I easily move out of the way. He slams into the side of the cage. I chuckle at the fence imprint on his right cheek . " Come here you little whore!" spittle flies from his mouth. OK thats just uncalled for. He runs at me again, but I don't avoid him this time. I stand my ground and wait. he slams into me , I slid a few feet. He starts laying into me. I just grit my teeth and wait till he winds himself. Finally after a few minutes, his breaths are coming in gasps. I place my hands on his shoulders and look him in the eyes . I smile a ferally at him and say "My turn."

I pull him and knee him in the face. I hear several crunches . He screams as the blood rushes from his nose and mouth. I smile and throw a right hook and then an uppercut. as he staggers back I run at him and do a roundhouse kick knocking him to his hands and knees. he struggles back to his feet but before he can stand up fully I grab the sides of his face and decide to give him a head but. he goes down with a groan. He doesn't get back up. I scoff and make my way to the door to be let out. When the referee opens the door. I shoulder check him, and make my way over to Tony. " the next time you bet against someone that looks like an underdog, make sure you do a background check on then first. " I pull my dog tags from underneath my shirt. " Your were in the military?" I nod " I learned to fight dirty and its saved my life many times. " he nods and starts handing over my winnings . fifteen grand. I place it in the inside pocket of my jacket shrug it on . " You may want to tell those two thugs that are over by the door, to think again about jumping me in the parking lot. that little match was just a fourth of what I've got up my sleeves. " He gulps and says " Roscoe, Brutus, why don't you go get you a round of what ever you want , my treat." I watch out of the corner of my eyes to make sure they do as he says . I turn back to Tony and place my number down on the table. " one more thing.. if this king of the cage , this Wolverine, makes his way through here again, I want to know about it. I don't care how long it takes you call me As soon as he walks through that door. " he gulps and nods his head. I lean towards him pull out my knife , pressing it against his cheek. " If you don't let me know, the next time he makes his way through here , there isn't any code of conduct, no moral ground, that will keep me from tracking you down and giving you a piece of what Big John got tonight. Do you understand me? " he squeaks out a yes. I let my knife graze his cheek and make him bleed. " Let that be a reminder , of what will come if you don't heed my warning." I sheath my knife , turning towards the door. I make eye contact with each and every man in that bar. Making sure they understand what happened here tonight. They thought they were the predators, that's a laugh, they are prey compared to me. I make it outside to my bike. I do a quick once over , to see if everything is in order. Climb on my bike , pull on my helmet , and hit then road once again. I meant every word of what I said to Tony. I want to know where the Wolverine is. I need to know if he's still after me.. Do I still need to know how to out run the Wolverine?
