Hope y'all enjoy this next bit!
As soon as we finished the Pledge, my Father says,
"Let the fights begin!" The bell rang and Celia and I began to circle each other. Seconds later Celia launches herself at me and I twirl away with a beautiful flourish if I do say so myself. I bowed to the crowd who were cheering and laughing. I heard Celia come back around and launch herself again, and yet again, I managed to twirl out of her reach. Another bow and another laughing crowd. I heard Celia growl and get quite angry. I smirked at the crowd and turned to face her this time.
"You can still leave ya know," I told her as I approached. "You don't have to humiliate yourself," I said this loud enough for the crowd to hear. I heard some "ohhh"s happening. She glared at me.
"As if". I smirked and then replied,
"Suit yourself." I took one step towards her before stepping to the side and letting her jump and fly past me. I chuckled and raised my arms in the air.
"C'mon Celia Facilier! Is that the best you can do?" I shouted. She growled.
"Not even close, Avyanna." My eyes flashed, a normal one, not a green one when she said my full name. But I continued to goad her anger and throw off her game.
"But you know that no one has ever beaten me, so what makes you think that you're bad enough?" I asked. The crowd "ohhhh" ed again. Celia screamed and launched herself at me but instead of sliding past when I stepped aside, she placed a foot on the ground and jumped back at me. She landed on top of me and attempted to throw a punch but I blocked her and flipped us over. I pushed her to the side while I rolled the other way. I rolled back over and slammed an elbow right in her gut. Immediately, she lost her breath. I grabbed her legs and swung her around a couple of times before throwing her up and letting her slam right back on the ground. I could tell the crowd wanted just a bit more so I waited for her to stand up. She did and I saw her nose appeared to e broken. Ouch, I thought.
"You done yet?" I called half-hoping she was. I didn't want to hurt my half-sister too badly. Her eyes flashed in anger though.
"No way!" she yelled. I shrugged nonchalantly and started to circle with her once more. This time when she threw herself at me, I threw myself on the ground and kicked her rib/stomach area a bit hard. She flew back and I flipped myself up onto my feet. I walked over to where she laid motionless. I turned back to the crowd and shrugged when I reached her.
"Guess she's weaker than I thought," I called. But then I heard her say,
"Definitely not." I turned and was met with a fist to the eye. I stumbled back but she kicked my legs out from underneath me. She tried to punch me again, but I grabbed her arms and rolled so she was underneath me. I slammed my elbow onto one of her rubs and heard a crack. I think I winced but only barely. She did cry out though. I broke another one and this time she brought her knee up and slammed it into my stomach. I gasped but didn't let go. She rolled and so did I. We rolled quite a few times before I barely heard her whisper,
"Please do it. Do it now!" She looked at me with a few pain-filled tears in her eyes. I gave the barest of nods before slamming my head against hers sufficiently knocking her out. I got up and faced the crowd. There was silence then I yelled,
"Who's the champion!?"
"The BW!" They yelled back screaming and shooting. I smiled and shouted again,
"The WHO?"
"The Braided Warrior!" Everyone screamed. I bowed before stepping back to the center of the Arena to wait for my next opponent. As I waited, the waiters grabbed Celia and dragged her out. While they did that, I rebraided my hair and checked my feet to make sure I didn't lose a shoe. It's happened before! Before too long, I heard the gate creak open. I turned and who was it? Seth Scar the son of Scar. He grinned and I knew I was in for a handful.
Sorry for making y'all wait sooooooo long! I was writing the next chapters and kind of forgot to put them on here. I've been helping my Grammie move into her new house in Rome! (Don't worry y'all. Rome, GEORGIA. I didn't travel TOO far from home. ;)) I hope y'all enjoyed this and I hope y'all will enjoy the next chapter! Like always, comments, suggestions, reviews, and questions are ALWAYS welcome! Stay safe!
Love,
