I open my bleary eyes gradually. So tired. I looked around me, I guess I am the medics tent. Their treatment compromised of cleaning my wounds and dumping me on a bed to sleep it off. I guess they are not allowed really treat anyone until the game is over.

I lay my arm of my forehead. I am so tired, I do not think I might be able to win this round.

From a distance I can hear the Mc calling out the results.

The second round is over now folks and we have 3 people that have immunity and 1 that is automatically disqualified. Contestants get ready, the third round starts in five minutes. Β

You have done more than enough Anastasia. For many years I was lonely, I had no friends until you came along and I understood how it felt to have someone who has your back. Even if that someone lives in me.

Now, Let's go show those people we still have some fight left in us.

πΊπ‘œ π‘”π‘–π‘Ÿπ‘™

Pulling myself up as I hear the Mc call for the the third round. I move stiffly out the tent. As I step out

There she is

The cheers reach me

Climbing the platform with some effort, I reach the smiling pack member with the draw and dip my hand into the hat she held out. I pull out a card and hand it to her.

The Alpha's meal has selected her opponent and her opponent is. She hands the card to him. Beatrice of the Sangria pack.

The girl who had her hair pulled steps onto the platform. She seems to have learnt from her last fight because her hair was pulled severely away from her face and put in a tight bun. She too looked worse for wear.

Get ready, FIGHT!

The both of us move wary of each other, but no one makes the first move. She waits for me to make the first move but I don't, I move around consolidating my remaining strength.

Eventually she makes a move, She is on me and pushing me backwards. I guess she is trying to push me off the platform. So I push back and we are both straining at each other. She seems to have the advantage.

Thinking Fast, I let go of her as she stumbled forward, her force against her. I kick her in the back Β causing her to stumble more and fall.

She picks herself up and comes after me again. This time landing a punch and I land one of my own. She tussles me to the floor and I struggle with her. In our struggle. I end up on her back and I hold on hands and feet, she struggles to get me off much to the amusement of the crowd.

Eventually she falls back trying to dislodge me of her back but I hold on even tighter. I cross my legs over her as I hold her tightly.

My head is aching badly and the noise from the crowd laughter made it even worse.

I hold on despite the bucking and trashing.

And it goes to the judges. The Mc announces. and I release her breathing heavily as I do.

I will take the results on my own two feet. Standing up, I walk to the centre of the platform, to the Mc and Beatrice.

The judges results are in. And.. Whatever points The Alpha's meal got, has been deducted 5 points.

The crowd groans.

I steel myself.

After recalibration of the points. The winner of the round is....

The Alpha's meal.

Oh God. Relief has me sinking to my knees.

Applause and cheers.

Congratulations Alpha's meal, you have made it to the next stage of the tournament
