Chapter 06

Karen Bass

Finally the tournament will start I take my last sip of wine as I walk with the other participants, to the fight hall I observe that some are nervous, others are distressed and scared, and some serious I just keep calm and serene as if it's not happening nothing more.

Clark's number one rule, never let your fear show in front of the enemy.

Clark is by my side like other tutors are by their students so talking…

"I hope you did very well!"

Before I forget I have never turned my back on a battlefield, and another one does not attack directly because your opponent can counterattack you by affecting a sensitive point.

And don't forget to use your weapon I gave you earlier, don't think that any of those here are bare-handed.

Now go there and I did my best, I'll be watching you next to Domenico!

He rolls his eyes as he walks to the spot where Domenico is sitting.

All women look the same in a casual and sexy dress some look me up and down rolling their eyes or turning up their nose I think: me 'Ridiculous and bitches' my eyes are glazed over this damn screen while the woman on the mic waits the coach's order to release the draw and as soon as it starts several names start to pass on the screen and soon the result appears.

Karen Bass xxxx Lucia Cortez.

I walk slowly towards the battle center while the other red-haired woman has support from the audience and leaves with an air of victoriousness, more than the cow hasn't even won yet!

And it's already finding every woman on the mic speaking the rules while we stare seriously.

Welcome everyone to another losth 3 where another tournament is started to choose the best 10 of the best elite soldiers.

Okay, here are the rules:

1… Rule The participant is entitled to several melee weapons for their defenses that are just sharp objects.

2… Rule The participant can only leave the battlefield when the other opponent is dead, which will be checked by the doctor on duty.

3… Rule No Firearms Allowed!

This causes the participant to be eliminated at the time of the tournament.

And the last rule, no more important, let the best one win…

I see the audience vibrate with screams and especially the name of that Lucia, I look at the only place where I need to draw strength Clark is looking at me serenely with those beautiful blue eyes.

It's all it takes to keep me strong as I watch the redhead stare at me in mock confession.

— Oh!

Dear brat!

You were unlucky to fall right with me to face me, I will destroy you... — She chews a gum looking at me with a victorious smile so I comment sarcastically I squeeze my hands.

"Shut up you bitch!"

The fight hasn't even started and you're already there with an air of victorious?

It's ridiculous, when I'm stepping my heels on that face of yours, you're going to regret it bitterly.

I spit the words onto the floor as I watch her eyes foam with anger and she confess.

- You will see?

Who's your ridiculous brat!

— is she running towards me?

While I repeat the ridiculous word, laughing, she comes with everything to hit me, however, her deviation is a punch in her stomach, then I hit a kick throwing her to the other side of the room.

Lúcia gets up and attacks me we start a body fight, she hits me, slaps and scratches my face that by heavens I feel my skin burning" Ang this bitch will regret having hurt my face" I head butt her face to retreat cleaning her nose that now bleeds and comments on me furiously.

- You damn... You broke my nose, I'm going to finish you bastard!

She just smiled wryly as she glared at me and came at me.

But as I am acted too much, I just turn and dodge learning about my arm and squeezing her neck that seems to be one of those gazelles when they are about to die and they are struggling, I approach her and confess.

"Now who's the brat here?"

You old shit!

I may be a brat, but I'll show you that age is just a number.

She struggles while I choke her, holding her breath more without waiting the bastard cuts me in the belly with a knife that makes me step back, this unfortunate cut me deeply I'm bleeding a lot I feel the impact of the cut and I see Clark look at me worried while her piranha laugh and talk with debauchery.

"Who's the old lady now you brat?"

I'm going to break up with you soon, this has gone on too long, child...

The damn run towards me with that knife I think: What the fuck!

I have to turn the situation in my favor, before I die, this cut went deep.

When she comes to stab me in the chest I go down in fractions of a second, and I hold her hand and squeeze hard, the unfortunate screams for the pain I'm causing her and the knife falls I hit her and she walks back.

When she's about to take the knife again, I'm faster and I take it and put it in her hand Lúcia screams in pain, but she takes the knife and cuts me off my leg' I'm already fed up with this woman the bastard pulls my dress to try to reach me and hits my chest, however I give her a kick with one of my feet, which she recoils and even with a lot of pain I get up and take the knife from her that she tries to hold, but after I hit her face hard on the floor of the hall, she drop.

I take the knife and bring it to her neck hearing only the audience scream "kill..kill.. Kill this bitch kill this bitch Karen...

I feel my body go into ecstasy, an adrenaline consumes me as I pull the dog by the hair and she struggles like a chicken when she's going to die but now really Lucia begs for her life.

- Please!

Don't kill me, you've given me your forgiveness, I'd rather be kicked out and admit that I missed it…” I let out a sinister laugh and confess.

- You know this is not a simple game!

One has to come out alive and the other dead!

That in this case it won't be me because between you and me, I'm going to choose me and before I forget God forgive me not.

See you in hell you bitch.

She screams trying to get free as I cut her throat with the knife and watching her squirm like a chicken spreading blood all over the room and I hear the crowd scream "Karen... Karen... Karen...

I throw myself back from the tiredness and injuries this cow made me hear the microphone girl come up to me and say and raising my hand.

— That's it folks, we already have a finalist for the Karen Bass final!

The rookie is tough on the takedown and the other competitors better get ready... The crowd goes wild as I feel my vision blurring from the blood I lost, then I hear Clark's voice screaming for the doctor.

- Doctor help her!

That woman is already dead, Karen look at me, the doctor is coming to help!

- He rips my dress assessing the wound while pressing it with his jacket trying to control the blood I see the Dr examining me, I also see the shadow of Domenico with a satisfied smile and saying.

“Congratulations, Karen, you were great!

—  with that I saw everything go out in front of me just seeing blurs and everything turn Black I don't know how many days I sleep the more I feel my whole body aching I try to get up more unsuccessfully so I just observe the place I am a hospital room I see Clark sitting in an armchair sleeping so I try to call out to him.

"Clark..." My voice comes out so low but it's still enough for him to wake up and look at me worriedly.

- Karen my love!

Glad you woke up.

Are you in pain?

I nod and he talks stroking my head.

— Calm down, I'll call the doctor... You gave me such a scare you slept for 3 days!

He looked at me and called the doctor by the button.

The Doctor comes in and examines me and explains that due to the stab I got I had an operation and I lost a lot of blood, my luck was that Clark can donate to me as always being an angel in my life that I am a demon, after examining me the Doctor gave me a medication and sleep again.

I wake up listening to an argument and try to hear more of the conversation.

— What did you come here to do, Domenico?

Can I know!

- Clark speaks with a certain jealousy and disgust.

— I didn't know I had to make an appointment to visit her, of course!

- There is not!

But I don't want you near Karen!

You're no good for her, have you forgotten what you did?

he comments coldly while Domenico frowns.

— I don't need you to tell me what I did... and another one doesn't think she owns it I already told you that she belongs to me and mine...

— Oh for the (love) of God!

Do you really want her or just because she's with me?

Haven't you lost the habit of wanting what doesn't belong to you?

Domenico then looks threateningly and confesses!

— Clark.

Clark, be careful what you say, I already told you he's not talking to anyone more than the big daddy!

Have you forgotten what I do with whoever challenges me?

"Like I said last time!"

You won't let me stay there to remind myself.

he speaks in a bitter tone and Domenico responds.

- Exactly!

Stay out of it, the girl is mine...

But the two of them, not expecting me to be listening to everything, jumped with fright when I say.

"I'm nobody's!"

Domenico you only have my assassin services other than that, I'm free and not one of your bitches that's clear.

Domenico looks at me and talks awkwardly.

“Karen, you heard wrong!

That's not what I meant.

He approaches with a bouquet of flowers and leaves it on the next table commenting.

- Thank you for the flowers!

But if you don't mind I want to rest please leave!

- Clear!

I just came to see how you were, I'm already doing... - Domenico walks away and before he leaves I tell him.

- Thank you for the flowers, they are beautiful!

He smiles as Clark scowls and I say to him.

'Throw away those ridiculous red flowers in the trash!'

I don't know why but I don't like this man... - Clark does what I ask with pleasure and confesses.

'I never liked it either!'

But I put up with him because I have to.

He comes closer and kisses my lips gently and runs his tongue down my neck and I feel all goose bumps.

"If I weren't in this state you would pay me for this affront Clark Lewis!"

He walked out the door and confessed biting his lip.

"I didn't do anything to you Karen, it's just a caress..."

She is a brat indeed.

I try to sleep more and the conversation between Clark and Domenico doesn't get out of my head, why Domenico?

Said I'm his property?

Why does he want me so much?

And Clark wants me away from him?

, I feel that in the midst of this crossfire there is some story behind that I have yet to discover and I may not like.
