"She wasn't fragile like a flower, she was fragile like a bomb."

✰✰✰

Keaton never came back last night to the arena like he was supposed to.

I haven't seen him in the crowd, along with Adrian or Maggie.

I have had my eyes out trying to see if I can see who Shadow Thorton is but no luck. The fight is just about to start, I am standing where I am supposed to be announced into the ring.

"Ladies and Gentlemen! Welcome to the 5th annual Championships! Welcome our first fighter...Camilla Carter!"

Cheers erupt through the crowd as I make my way into the ring.

"Now...for our undefeated 4 times championship for the title...Shadow Thorton!"

I looked through the crowd as everyone was clapping and screaming for him.

I stop short once a robe gets taken off of him.

"Cory?"

He smirks. "I guess 16 year old you is going to remember old memories."

"You're Shadow Thorton?" Surprise reaches my voice.

He nods.

The announcer steps out and the ref steps in.

"3!"

Cory takes his stance.

"2!"

I take my stance.

"1!"

I'm screwed.

"Fight!"

Cory instantly lunges at me, tackling me to the ground.

"The little fights that you have done in here, were fighters who had to lower their skills so no one would suspect a thing. Now we are around everyone who knows this is illegal."

I throw a punch at his face and he doesn't budge.

He quickly throws punch after punch till my face is dripping in blood.

Sirens are heard.

People quickly rush out and hide.

"Cami!"

I look over and see Adrian.

"We said to lose, not try to get yourself killed!"

Cory smirks before running off.

Adrian helps me stand up.

"I tried to win." I crocke out.

The doors get thrown open by at least 20 cops standing there with guns pointed at us.
