the sound of the doctors and machines was the first thing she heard. opening her eyes as she slowly looked around dazed. I watched silently as she eventually focused on me standing there. 16 a knockout and definitely silenced by whatever trauma subconsciously my mind could remember that involved this woman nay not a woman child like woman. she smiled and said "you came" "correction I brought you here" I replied indifferently and coldly. she trembled at my tone and said softly barely audible "why? you obviously hate me your tone says so" I shrugged and ignored her. "I made a mistake will you please take me back?" maybe if I wasn't as educated with wisdom and street smarts as I am now I would've said yes but not now. I turned and walked away I figured a yes or no wouldn't be required to express my distaste of such a question. I left the hospital after seeing she'd be fine. I had work to do it was apparent she didn't wish to admit to her wrong therefore ignoring her choices would also mean I wouldn't find his name out. I needed to do it my way. old fashion tracking simple sleuthing he fought like a pro fighter so my goal should be to do the underground fights. as I moved I barely noticed how quickly I covered distance being lost in my thoughts. by the time I had ran through my options I was home. my mom startled and snapped "quit doing that your so silent it's like dealing with a ghost I only barely sense your presence." I grimly nodded and continued walking to my room at the back side of the house off the kitchen. I sat down and turned my desktop and booted up all my different programs I then loaded a special browser and went onto the dark web. I searched for info that would lead me to underground fights. illegal fighting wouldn't be just found in the newspaper so I had to search long and hard for the info. about two hours later I found a name for someone who might know. I logged out of everything and did a customary wipe of the history and hard drive then I walked out the house in search of the guy who knew a way into the underground fights. As I headed down Town to the seediest part of town I realized I'd never thought about the fact they might smell a cop instead of a potential fighter so I needed a good way to prove my intent. I couldn't think of none and before I knew it I was there at the place. outside the warehouse there was a man he grabbed me and spoke but the words were lost on me "it's so good to see a brethren here. may blood follow you in battle." I started at his words but nodded and merely went inside. it didn't dawn on me till later the look in his eyes. I followed the corridor into the open floor of the warehouse their assembled alot of people. mulling about the noise so loud my ears rang and my head ached. amongst that muddle of noise the one person I hoped never to see after I left the hospital was there. I made my way to her and she never noticed and looked straight at me. I stood silently curiously wondering how she didn't notice. I spoke and then she noticed me startled as if she couldn't believe I was next to her as if she never knew. "what are you here for?" I merely grimaced with a reply "revenge" I moved towards the host and spoke "I'm here to fight" he looked me up and down and said "got any training?" I just looked at him refusing him an answer he then said "18 only kid if your not 18 your not fighting" I pulled the fake ID I picked up and handed it over. it was flawless you couldn't tell it was fake he looked at me then looked at it and said "very well" he turned away and shouted "we are starting the fights early" he called two names for the first fight of twenty fighters my name was the first. the rules were simple tap out or knock out. I moved into the ring to fight. the start was sounded and he moved forward fast and I took the first hit my head ringing and vision spinning in and out then it cleared and he was moving in for a second hit I didn't even think I reacted his fist came coming and I didn't even know when or how but I moved my head slightly Dodging the hit. He swung an uppercut from the left and I moved sideways into his weak spot the opening he created. I gave a solid unrestrained vengeance filled hit to his solar plexus the dude coughed and blood came out. I hit him again to the jaw throwing him back five feet from me knocked out cold. the time read 1 minute the fight was over in a minute. They declared me the winner and the next fight started I dodged the hits swung..it was when I moved to hit him he busted me in my nose drawing blood. feeling my blood run down my face and hearing it hit the floor I looked down and seeing my blood my head spun and my vision tunneled I felt an anger like no other. I moved in dodge his hits and I began to move deflecting hit for hit. I then punched him in the ribs and heard a crack then hit him in the gut and sent him flying. a bruise black as night forming on his guts and ribs. As he was out cold Moved to the next and the next my stamina never giving out.each fight ended the same bloody and fast and I felt deep inside me roiling from my loins up into my stomach as a strange satisfactory feeling that made me burn in a warmth that wasn't entirely cozy but more like the fires of war. I was excited and enthused so I moved forward. at the end of it all the hospital was the start and it would be the continuance as I sent many to it looking for that man.
