Chapter 1
"Hey kid, are you alright? Someone HELP!" I gasped griping my stomach feeling the warmth on my stomach. I tried to breath but I couldn“t. I could hear the noise around me... but wait, why can't I hear Annie she was right beside me. As that realization hit me my stomach stopped hurting, all the muscles around the area started to loosen up. I shot up from being on the ground sitting; there is a man beside me. "Hey little girl are you alright?" I was about to talk only to be interrupted by the sound of an explosion. 'Out of the fire and into the frying pan. Why is life against me?' I stood up ignoring the man trying to talk to me. "I'm fine." As I said that I saw everyone on the street running, at the end of the street was a little girl looking at the building. She was younger than my sister, but she wasn't moving; she was frozen among the whole commotion. "Hey kid, where are your parent?" I ignored the man and ran towards the little girl.
I ran as fast as my legs could take me towards that girl, she was really small standing in the sidewalk as people rushed past her among the chaos. As I reached her I saw a woman dressed in green with red hair, standing above green plant; beside her was a woman with a purple unitard shooting purple beams at the cars on the street making them blow up. The girl was beside a car. 'Oh no.' "Move you little maggot." I screamed at her, that seemed to awaken her from her stupor but she wasn't moving. As soon as I was beside her I pulled her and covered her with my body from what I knew was about to come. As the explosion sounded in my ears, it was deafening my chest filled with the adrenaline I was used to. I was moving on instinct, I picked the little girl up in my arms and ran.
As I ran away root broke through the concrete, I ducked and weaved through them, right, left, under, without dropping the little girl. "Get back!" I heard behind me. That made me run faster, a bright light was behind me I knew what was going to happen so I braced for the impact that was about to come for me. "Really Sapphire, children?" That was the voice of a man I looked behind me and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. "Get away, this will get ugly." "Oh is it Green Lantern? You're a man you'll serve as fertilizer for my children." I can't believe what is happening behind me there is a wall made out of green transparent almost like glass.
"Flash get Ivy, I'll take care of Sapphire." I started moving as soon as the green wall behind me disappeared, in the direction where everyone was running. "Hey girl where is your mother?" We passed the third block away from the fight. A woman was that was standing in the bench of the sidewalk looking everywhere her head snapping in every direction like a confused squirrel, looking everywhere. I placed the little girl in the ground as she pointed to the woman. "Run to her, she is looking for you." I told her, as she ran towards her mother; people were still running away from the fight. I need to get out of here. I can't recognize any store or street. 'God where am I?' I ran through the alleys until I reached an abandoned building, I could hear people running but it was a faint noise in the background.
I decided to sit down to recount what happened. 'Okay, I remember getting shot and stabbed.' As I thought that I ran my hands through my body to see if I had blood or cuts, but I only had my old scars from the fights in the ring. 'Okay recount, my name is Samantha Parthenon, and I don't have the shot wound. Next, I didn't saw Annie beside me I will go and check if the dinner is here to see if Earl and Annie are alright. Next I saw a superhero Green Lantern above all of them. I can't believe it I felt excited and giddy but damn I need to see if Annie is alright.'
I started picking myself up from the ground, I didn't realize I was on the ground; as I was making my way out of the abandoned building, it looked like a construction that wasn't finished it was a multifloor building it was offices of some sort it doesn't matter, I'm leaving. A noise got louder and louder it was as if it was getting closer, I had around 10 more minutes of daylight. So I began to walk in the direction of the exit of the building. But that noise got louder it was as if something was working with a pickaxe through walls. The noise was right above me, on instinct I threw myself to the side after landing on the floor I moved as fast as I could and whipped my head to see what the source of that noise was.
The place where I was there was a hole a green trail of light passed through it, in front of me there was a ball of green light, I was in a prowling position not knowing what was next, I slowly stood up looking curiously at the ball extending my right hand to it, but my action was cut short by a booming voice that came out of the ball of green light "Samantha Parthenon, You have the ability to overcome great fea..." The ring flew into my right hand and into my middle finger. "Recharge required, ring power at .01% recharge at the nearest lantern power source." As soon as that happened a lantern appeared at my feet I yelped by the sudden apparition of it.
'This is a green lantern ring I knew it out of the comics, movies, and shows that I watched. Okay don't freak out yet, first off get to Annie and Earl; plan out of there.' I remember that I could store the lantern in a pocket dimension; I took the lantern and placed it in front of me shaking my hand by the handle making the lantern shake. "STORE YOURSELF DAMMIT." I screamed shaking it more but to no avail. "Screw it you're coming with me." I told to myself, but before I could do anything my right hand was pulled to the side of the lantern and into the whole where the power source is. I pulled with everything I had separating the ring from the lantern. "Power at .01% Recharge immediately at a nearby lantern power source." "Shut the fuck up." I told the ring.
I made my way to the dinner avoiding the streets, if I was correct next alley to the right and across that street the dinner would be there. But deep down I knew I wouldn't find anything, as I rounded the corner with my lantern in hand. My worst fear became a reality, instead of Earl's dinner it was still a dinner but it wasn't Earls it was called Emma's dinner and breakfast. 'Okay I'm gonna try my luck, I need to see if I can find Earl or Annette.' I crossed the street ignoring the looks people gave me by carrying the big lantern in my hand, or at least it felt like I was sticking out.
I opened the door, the bell of the door alerted every one of my presence. I moved to the reception, I was greeted by she had a white blouse with a broach with the name "Emma" on it, she had an apron filled with a notebook and what I assumed was pens. "Hello, are you looking for someone?" She had a British accent, but it didn't sound too British. "Yeah I'm looking for Earl Lavellan." I said hope in my chest that he would be here. "I'm sorry but I don't know who that is." "What about Annette Parthenon?" I said trying to keep my face straight of the impending sadness that was in my head. "Sorry, don't know who she is either." I sighed. "Thank you, maybe I'm at the wrong dinner." I said aloud to make sure I covered my tracks as clumsiness of a little girl.
I left the dinner and my stomach growled loudly. 'I need food, and I don't have money.' I touched my pockets my wallet was there but I remember that I spent all the money buying ice cream for Annie. Tears welled up in my eyes. 'NO, not yet. It might be a world of superheroes but fights are always made. I'll look for 'the ring'.
Good thing about I don't know what happened to me but thank god that illegal fighting is everywhere, it wasn't the ring I usually fought but it was something alike. I spent 3 hours walking looking for a ring with my lantern in hand, until I reached a warehouse filled with noise. I knew that's where they are fighting.
Now I need to find the best dressed person here. 'There.' The man in the back he had a grey suit and combed blonde hair, he was looking at the fights. I reached him and touched his shoulder with my left finger grabbing his attention. "What are you doing here girl? This is a place for adults. Hank; Take her out of here." I am always underestimated. "I want to fight." "Hank get her out of here." As a big burly man that I assumed was Hank he had big hammy hands I tried to grabbed me I grabbed his right wrist twisting it, he screamed in pain and I kicked his right leg making him kneel in his right knee, he tried to move but I moved my hand with his wrist at the brink of breaking, I only needed to apply force and it will break in two pieces. Hank was screaming in pain.
"Alright kid you made your point, let go of hank he is a good man." I let go of hank he stood up rubbing his wrist moving his hand in circles while grunting. "I fight the next one." "That isn't how the business works honey." I glared at him. "Next fight, you get half of what I win." I said, he laughed. "Okay three fourths." That was my original plan. "Fine kid you fight next, only leave that lantern out, no weapons, and no jewelry." He told me motioning to my lantern and my ring; I took my ring off and placed it in my pocket.
"Ladies and Gentleman, there has been a change in the program, tonight we have a new fighter." The announcer said he looked well-dressed but not enough to stand out like the one in the suit. He approached me "what is your name kid?" He asked me. "Light fists." I told him placing my lantern on the floor near me; it can get stolen easily here. "Presenting Light Fists, our new fighter against we all know him, we all like him, presenting Mace." A man walked in the sand ring he was shirtless the word "mace" tattooed on his chest. He looked really ripped like it costed him a lot to move. That would be my advantage. "Bets close in 15 seconds. Fighters get ready remember only rule is no rules."
"Begin" Immediately the fight began he raced towards me, I ran after a few second of him running. He cocked his right fist to punch; as he got closer he threw the punch I weaved to my left avoiding the punch and placed a punch on his side. He groaned after the punch, he turned around and lunged at me I took my boxing stance and delivered a swing right at his cheek, I felt his mouth move and a small crack; my fist hurt a lot but it was nothing new.
He became more weary on what I was able to do it was my turn, I couldn't overpower him in strength but I needed to take a hit so that I would lull him into a false sense of security. I got on his guard and aimed at his jaw delivering an uppercut, feeling a complete crack in his mouth he screamed I covered myself as best as I could, knowing the punch would come his punch hurt a lot, it landed on my arm it completely numbed the whole arm, at least it was my left. He looked really dizzy; this is my chance as he looked relieved of landing a hit. I stood up to face him it took me a lot of will to lift my left arm. The noise of the crowd was deafening. "Come at me maggot." He again decided to lunge at me, I ducked under him and kicked his right leg which was in front of me, and he fell to the dirt of the ring.
I prepared to knock him out, I knew how to deal with crowds, I raised both arms to my sides moving them up and down for them to cheer on me and took a stance to kick Mace in the face to knock him out, and give him a lot of pain. The crowd started to chant "fist, fist, fist"; as soon as Mace placed both hands on the dirt to get up as he got on both knees I ran up to him with as much speed as I could manage and all the strength I could manage to kick him with the sole of my foot to his face. Mace fell to the floor unconscious.
"Winner Light Fist!" Many groans were heard but the crowd still chanted my name. I took my ring out of my pocket and placed it on my middle right finger, my left arm hurt to move. 'It will bruise and hurt a lot tomorrow.' I made my way to the man in the grey suit. "You have talent kid I can say that to you." "I`ve been fighting since I was 9, I'm the best fighter at my age." I said trying not to sound smug; my stomach growled loudly making it hurt a lot. I gripped my stomach from the pain. "Whoa kid you alright? You didn't get punched in the stomach." He said to me with a hint of preoccupation on his voice. "Shut up, money for food NOW." I told him "Here kid 400 bucks." He gave me the 4 hundred dollar bills. "What's with the Green Lantern get up?" He told me I was making my way out of the warehouse he was following me with Hank behind him. "Not of your business." I told him coldly. "Hey, before you leave. Have my card, call me in tomorrow we move the ring through the city. You'll fit right in here." Screams started to sound. "POLICE RUN AND GREEN LANTERNS RUN!" A man in the entrance screamed everyone scrambled to run for the exits. I took the card and ran to where I came from.
As I got out of the warehouse I saw green light beams covering the sky. I ran as fast as I could with the money in my pocket and lantern gripped tightly in my right hand. I covered myself in the darkness of the alleys, trying not to get caught by either police or lanterns. I heard a police car rounding the corner, and 2 men who were hiding beside me. "Through the warehouse, police car about to pass. Move now." I said as I ran and as fast as I could and kicked the wood of the warehouse doors. The warehouse was completely empty; there are always 5 exits out of a warehouse excluding the exits in the offices of the second floor. "Run to the right exit." I said as we ran through the warehouse. I saw green light on the right side. "Go to left one." I said, 'They're after the lantern.'
We exited the warehouse; both men looked at me as if asking for directions. "Go to the north part of the city or lay low on alleys away from here." I told them. "Thanks girl, you saved our asses back there. Too bad you didn't get to meet your hero." He told me motioning to my lantern. He was black skinned with a broken white shirt and ripped jeans. "Yeah too bad we didn't get money from the fight we need the medicine for momma." The other one said, he was in the same state actually I think they're twins. 'They're here for money for medicine, for their mother.' "Do you think the joker gang is accepting people?" "Nah bro you go there you don't return from that gang the same, that man is a maniac." I placed my right hand in my pocket placing the lantern on the floor stopping from walking "Wait, take these 200 dollar." I said giving them the money. "This is yours; you were totally Bruce Lee up on Mace. We can't take it." "Shut up, I only need 200 for food. " I haven't eaten in a day so take it or leave it." I said as they took the money. "Bro this is enough for the rest of her treatment. She can live, thank you so much Light; you gave our mother a chance to live her life." He said taking the money. "I'm Kyle my brother here is Keith." Keith was at the verge of crying because of the money I gave them. "I'm Sam; take care of your mother, and of each other. Family is the most important thing in the world."
Both of them ran towards what I assumed was their home; I walked to the nearest alleyway to rest from all that running and fighting. My stomach growled and I fell to the floor gripping it as I tried to move, I felt bile rise to my throat and puking in floor beside me. 'God this is painful, this is worse than getting punched.' I tried to move but I was too tired to move, I took the Lantern gripping it closer to my chest as my eyelids felt really heavy. I tried to move but ended up falling to the side smelling the puke I fell unconscious.
