them, Windy came at
them. She knew the chick was fast from watching her. They scattered like
marbles in different directions of the arena making her have to come at one of
them separately.
Ursla went for Kira who ended up nearest to her and Windy
made it to Piper a grabbing her friend by the throat. Piper didn’t let her get
the grip she was looking for and broke free and punched her in the face. A
satisfying crack was heard and her nose started to bleed. Windy’s face was pure
anger as she went for her friend again but she tackled her this time and they
hit the ground together.
Kira was fighting Ursla hand to hand and doing pretty well.
She charged forward herself and shoved Windy off of Piper.
She spun and jumped up grabbing her. She tried to sink her scary sharp looking
teeth into her neck but she moved and she got her shoulder instead.
She cried out in pain as her teeth pierced her skin and she
could feel her start to pull the blood from her body. She grabbed Windy by her
hair and yanked her head as hard as she could, she got her off of her but the
pain in her shoulder wasn’t going away.
She used upper body strength to flip them and get up.
Windy swung and caught her in the face. She responded by kicking her as hard as
she could in her stomach.
Piper had reached the wall and now ran back and wrapped
some sort of num-chuck thing around Windy’s neck and pulled. It had to have
blades on it because blood squirted from Windy’s neck as Piper pulled. She let
Piper finish her and ran to help Kira.
Ursla was winning their little fight. Kira had bruises
already on her arms that she hadn’t had before and some nasty gashes. Ursla
whirled on her and now Piper who had taken care of Windy. Kira took this
opportunity to run at her from behind but that had been Ursla’s plan, she
turned and grabbed their friend by her neck and drug her with her across the
arena.
They followed but Ursla was too damn fast. She didn’t
remember what she yelled as they watched her smile at them like she had just
won and tore out Kira’s throat.
Blood went everywhere. Piper screamed as their friend’s
body was carelessly tossed to the ground. Ursla went at Piper and knocked her down
tackling her; she was at her friend’s side before she could do any real harm to
her though. She kicked her in the stomach before using her good arm to yank her
off.
Ursla grabbed her leg and yanked her down. She landed on
her back and hissed in a sharp breath as she used both of her arms to hold off
the vampire trying to tear out her own throat.
Piper wrapped the chucks around Ursla who almost jerked it
off of herself but she kneed her in the stomach and rolled her. It took every
ounce of last energy she had to hold Ursla still so her friend could almost
fully severe her head.
She had blood running from her shoulder and blood from
Ursla now covering her as well.
Piper gently helped her up and they ignored the cheering of
the crowd as they were escorted back out of the arena. They weren’t led to the
stall block but to a set of stairs within the stable.
They went up the stairs silently and were directed to
enter a room that had white brick walls, a concrete floor and medical
equipment.
A skinny man with round glasses stood in a lab coat. “That
will be all, you may go now. I have it from here.” He spoke to the man who had
escorted them up. He just shrugged and left the room.
Chapter Eight
She hissed through her teeth as the man named Simon,
finished stitching her shoulder wound closed. He had been very gentle with her
in cleaning and fixing her up.
“Sorry, you’re all done now.” She nodded. Her body was sore
to the point of it hurting to breathe. Kira was dead, her eyes filled with
tears. They had only known her for one day but if not for them wouldn’t she
still be alive? She wouldn’t have been at their stupid fucking hotel with them.
“I’m sorry about your friend.” She glared at him. “Sorry?
You should be sorry you’re a
