The horror was setting in for Vlad and Austin that were watching the underground fight. They had just seen the contestant Muddy stab Sharkey in his side with a type of knife. The thing was, both of these guys were just teenangers who were still in school.
What was even more shocking was that not a single person had batted an eyelid. They continued to cheer and shout and the fight looked like it was going to continue on despite the large injury.
The two of them were learning the reality of how the gangs and those that wished to join operated, because it didn’t look like Killer was shocked at all by this, and now it was starting to make some sense why he was practising how to use a weapon.
“Ah!” One of the five girls that were watching by the side screamed, lifting her hands up, to cover her face, while her red pigtails swung in the air, as she swung her head side to side.
“Dora, it's just a bit of blood.” Rence said, kissing her teeth. She was tired that her sister Dora would have the same reaction each time they came to one of these events. How was she of all people the daughter of a gang leader?
As she got agitated, her long purple fingernails were dragging the edge of her chair.
“This is excitement! This is what we came for, you heard what dad said right, we have to try and pick one that catches our eye, and for me, they at least have to be willing to do everything they can to get on top!” Vivi said, as she punched her large fist into the palm of her hand. She was the largest by size compared to all the other daughters.
“This whole thing is stupid.” Vivi said, her face leaning over the palm of her hand. Her short hair from a distance would make some mistake her for a boy, but when up close due to her elegant long eyelashes and soft skin, one could see she was more of a natural beauty.
However, out of all the sisters, the one that was clearly labelled the beauty of them all was Vere. Who sat up right in her chair, not having said a word or moved as the fight between them continued.
These were the five daughters belonging to the single leader of the Scavengers and who everyone was trying to impress tonight.
Inside the cage, Sharkey was holding onto his side, he was pressing into the wound hard, he had no clue if a vital place was hit or what, but he just wanted to stop himself from bleeding.
He looked to his right through the cage, looking at his mentor and one of the gang leaders.
“The quicker you beat him, the quicker you’ll be able to go to a hospital.” The man said, without a hint of caring.
It was as if Sharkey knew that his words were true, so rather than complaining to his leader, instead he looked right at Muddy and ran forward yelling in the air.
“ARGHHH!” Sharkey swung his fist wide, wanting to finish the fight in a single blow.
“That punch, it's too obvious.” Austin commented.
Muddy ducked under the hit and went in, rather than a stab, he went for a slash across his stomach creating a stinging cut. Another wild swing of the arm came from Sharkey trying to ignore the pain, but just as Austin said, the swings were so wild and started from so far back that anyone could see where a punch was coming from.
Sharkey had great strength but it wasn’t as if he was the fastest guy, so as long as one remained calm, they would be able to see exactly where each hit was coming from, and in this situation there was one far more calmer than the other.
Muddy continued to slash up Sharkey hit after hit, but the stab wound was what was affecting him most, and it almost looked like he was starting to become pale.
“If no one helps him or calls an ambulance, he’s going to die.” Austin said.
“Hey Big Mask, you must be new to this whole thing.” Herbert said, shaking his head. He wasn’t having any confidence after hearing what had just come out of the kid’s mouth. “Do you know how many people die a day in this town?
“Kids die all the time, messing with people they shouldn't be messing with, taking things they shouldn't be taking. There are those that die from overworking in the factories, and then those that die because they can’t even afford their next meal.
“You see us bringing you guys here, is a chance to break you out of that cycle. Everyone can see it, the gangs here, are all well fed and live a good life.”
Turning his head away, Austin was avoiding Herbert catching his smile. This was a good life, they had no idea what living a good life being in a gang was. He imagined that these guys were forced to do work from those above.
Whereas in the Howlers, with Gary in charge, they weren’t told what to do, instead they wanted to help the gang, the members wanted to help Gary.
Thinking about this and the whole situation, Austin didn’t like it.
“Hey, what are you doing?” Herbert asked, as he could see Austin walking away.
“I don’t like it, I don’t like seeing a junior of mine, someone close to me give up his life like this.”
Austin walked up to the entrance of the door, some of the outsiders looked at him wondering what he was trying to do, the door was locked anyway, so he wasn’t able to get in, but with a pull, the lock came right off and the door swung right open.
Sharkey looked like he was on the verge of collapsing, as blood was all over the canvas. Running towards him was Muddy, focused on finishing the fight, going for a stab rather than a slash.
“Why won’t you fall!” Muddy shouted.
From his right side, a large hand came out and slapped Muddy right on the hand, the knife flew out of his hand and fell to the floor.
“This fight is over.” Austin said. “I’m taking him to a hospital.”
“What the f*ck does he think he’s doing!" Herbert shouted, nearly pulling his hair out.
