Chapter 5 - CHAPTER FIVE NIKITA (THE NIGHTMARE)

I felt bad that I practically killed the boy,and to my surprise I wasn't given a punishment for killing him,when the game was over I exited the fighting ground and rushed over for our meal yeah I don't want to miss it at least it could minimize the way I just randomly slaughter people now,it's seriously getting out of hand ,I got my share of food and went over to an empty seat and started eating then I felt all eyes on me... " what ,what are y'all staring at huh ! I said when the eye got too much I practically turned my head and my gaze fell on NIKITA (the nightmare) that was his base name ...Tasi once warned me of him in one of our conversation telling me that no matter how strong you think you are be careful enough to dread NIKITA ,he isn't someone who would wanna see in real life and here he was at my back seat ...when his eye meet mine I smiled and turned to face my food but he moved my plate away from me ...now this is what normally piss the fuck off me ... " look bruh I don't want trouble,can I please have my fo..." before I could complete my sentence he dropped my plate to the floor totally making a mess of my food.

 " oops,my bad ,was that your plate ?" he said and kept staring at me to know my next action but I was too hungry for this shit so I bent down to scoop out the upper part of the food that spilled on the floor and he step on it ...this guy really is getting on my nerves " Nikita ,man I don't want trouble I just wanna eat and now you've ruined mine,I would have to go hungry for the rest of the day" I said in the most calmest voice I had I didn't wanna show him how obviously angry I was ....

 "oh, I never knew an animal like you could go hungry ,okay what about this I bet with my fo...

 I didn't wait to him to complete the statement" am all in " .

 " woah,you didn't even allow me to complete the description of the game,I love your energy...why don't we go one on one this night at the back base huh'' he said challenging me over food ....

 " bruh you got me am in as far as I get to eat before then am all in " I said which made him to grin but he didn't utter another word he just noded and left his food for me ...I didn't waste time and dig the food up Immediately and went over to my room to get some sleep since today was my rest day and my remaining battle line starts tommorow .... I just took a small nap before a knock came on the door, I lazily stood up to go get the door which is something I never did it was mostly Tasi that goes to grab the door when someone knocks but she isn't back yet so I gotta get it ..I twisted the door knob and slowly opened it and my gaze fell on a high built man "good day sir ".

 " are you rose by name " he asked 

 " yes sir, any problem'' I asked cause he was acting kinda weird .

 " your dad said I should pass this parcel to you , please do sign here " he said ,he was possibly shaking when I took the pen from him.

 " sir are you alright you seem kinda tense " I asked him but he was just staring at me like he was dumb or something " whatever'' I just signed and shut the door ,I practically tore the stuff they used in decorating the parcel aggressively I wanted to know what my dad got me cause he hardly gives me gifts ...when I open it ...wait what.... my dad got me chocolates different sizes and huge bars ..." oh my God " now am starting to regret why I had to bet for food when initially I might get this....I was so excited ... I mean I know I don't like my dad he can be an asshole sometimes now I know why the guy was shaking he was secretly sent to deliver this ...when I had a movement by the door I hastly hide the chocolates and gift immediately at least am not dumb enough to get caught..

 I rested for some time and I made sure I had enough water to keep me hydrating and ready for tonight ... I know am gonna be beaten up since even Tasi is scared of him ... Tasi doesn't bluff when she talks ,she always talks fact.

 Immediately the bell for six evening clocked.. I warmed up a little and walked out of the room heading to the back base where am gonna be beaten to hell for eating lunch ... it's not my fault ..am always hungry nature should take blame for that specifically ... when I got to the back base most of the in mates already gathered these ones don't care whether you are gonna or not they just wanna have fun and that's what am gonna give them if I survive this night .

 Not long after I arrived Nikita approached me and ran his hand over his neck indicating that am died ... nah that not gonna happen I mean if I should die then who's gonna eat those chocolate I hide or they are gonna treasure hunt it for days ... whatever .

 the whole thing got set the fight is gonna be a reckless one cause both commander and the Whistler isn't around so I might actually be killed for real " what's the rule of the combat.? I asked Nikita cause I dont wanna get beaten for what i don't have enough information for.....

 " there's no rules buddy,just do your thing there's enough ground for you to be buried but we are going hand in hand no weapons'' he said with a mischievous smile but there was something about the way he said no weapon that alerted me ...thank goodness for I still got my table knife beside my waist just in case cause I don't trust this guy even an inch "yeah,cool '' I just said I didn't wanna talk much to save my energy for whatever he has for me .... when I made a step to climb to the floor totally , something grabbed me fiercely and pulled me off and I lost balance immediately ,which made me to snap " yo what the....." when my gaze got the person it was Tasi and I kept shut ... I know I can run mouth like a parrot at times mostly to myself but I just have this Respect for Tasi ..." Natalya you know ,you don have to fight him I can fight for you if you want ..."she offered . 

 "now there you go ,but you said before that you wouldn't wanna cross paths with him " I sarcically told her.

 " yes ,but not after you stupidly ventured your self into his trap ,I just don't want you to die , nobody when I say nobody I mean even commander gives him Respect and here you are climbing the stairs to your own death" she said clearly serious which amused me more she is never like this....and she didn't find it funny when I started laughing.

 "don't worry Tasi...'' but she cut me short Immediately

 " don't call me that outside ''

 " alright don't worry,I got it if I should die in that ring that means am really dumb not after winning those two horrible fight I mean what's the need if am gonna die huh." I assured her but practically myself mainly.

 " just whatever.just try not to die okay " she said and let go of me to go find a place to sit ... the way she dragged my cloth made it slack a little so I pushed it back to the normal position and went ahead to climb the stage which was already set by .. I dunno they seem kinda forced to do it so am gonna call them his slave ... Nikita didn't rush me or anything he let me take my time ... which I practically over did cause I started doing unnecessary things but he didn't even move ... when I was ready I signalled him .

 " bruh you sure you ready or do you need more water cause I don't want you to faint early I want to take my time in breaking every inch of you ..." he said out of excitement

 " woah the audacity,bruh chill you haven't tasted what it's like to fight me yet alright, I think we should start judging by the end of the game " he didn't even retaliate he just nodded and took his shirt ..now I think I just added to his anger volume why didn't I just keep my mouth shut ... I was tensed but I didn't make it obvious I just kept hopping , stretching my body at least it should be ready for what it is about to take ... at least every mark that stays, in future I will remember what I went through before I get to whatever level I might be in...wait what the fuck are my doing thinking about the future " aaahhh I really need to get a grasp of myself " ..

 he signaled one of his puppies to ring the bell which he did and he took a step at me and stretched his hand for ....a handshake that wierd ..

 " hope you remember when you get to hell" he whispered it to my ear and that seemed to make me smile ... unlike me that should have been angry by that statement ... 

 when I wanted to take my hands off he held it firm and stared at me one last time before he let it go and tree a punch to my mouth immediately which took me off guide and I winced in pain " ahh... now am not gonna enjoy those chocolate in peace " ... I made an attempt to blow him but I decided against it since everybody knows his a careless fighter the might have known his weakness or area where he strikes his opponent most times fighters fight you based on their weak point by trying it on you ... and the first attempt he just made was my jaw and I counted that as a one ...I took a step forward triggering him to hit my upper arm elbow in other to make my joints weak enough not to throw a punch and surprisingly it worked that shit hurt like hell but I didn't make it obvious but I knew my stupid neck vein is already making it obvious,I just stretched my hand a little and counted that one as a two I raised my hand to manage to throw a punch but he swiftly changed position hmm he was fast and he immediately went over my back drew me by my long hair making head to draw backward and he strike my neck with a hard stroke of his hand,all the glow in me vanished but I can't retaliate just yet cause my neck really hurt big time now there's no chance that am licking those chocolate today...I still struggled to hold my neck to at least get the few active bone to support my head till this shit is over ... Nikita didn't strike me he let me take my time and enjoyed the view of my struggling now I know how it felt for that guy that I broke his knee ... when I was sure I can manage to breath properly through my mouth cause my nose is disappointing me acting like it was the only part of the body that was affected by the blow .

 when I was sure I got on my feet ...I better deal with this ones and for all ... so I moved closer to him and strike his jaw first and he staggered backwards and looked surprised he staggered...I was not meant to be surprised but I was shocked he staggered does my blow really come with force the way people talk about it .I don't care whatever I just took a step forward to finish what I started then I noticed a Sharp pain just below my stomach and something dripped off ....what the fuck he came with a weapon.. bruh!
