Hope's point of view
I watched the video again as the cops dragged Halsey and Halle out of the school and I couldn't be more happier.I had stood at the window staring as the cops dragged both of them into the car while I watch with a smile.
"You did a good job but I won't call it a great job because you didn't kill any of the sisters and three of your friends were caught"I said staring at him with a smirk.
"I'm sorry ma'am ,We didn't know that she's a fighter....But don't worry none of my guys are going to call your name so you don't need to worry about it"He said with a bow.
"You did a good job atleast by stabbing Sandra's twin sister,so.....here is your money"I said with a grin and threw the money at him.
"Thanks boss"He said happily staring at the money.
"But you should have given Sandra at least a bruise or destroy her annoying face"I said with a scoff.
"I will next time ma'am, I'll be more prepared next time.....What about my friends boss, what will happen to them now?? "He asked staring at me.
"Don't worry about them, I'll sort out a way to get them out of there"I said and scoffed within me. They should have been strong and beat the living hell out of Alicia but no it was the opposite. I mean how the hell did she beat them this much??, Even this one here have so many bruises on his face.
"Thank you very much boss"He said happily showing his ugly set of teeths.If only he knows I'll do no sh*t it's just their bad luck that they were caught. They'll rot in jail for all I care.I thought and clicked my tongue.
"Yeah you're welcome, I'll be on my way then"I said with a smirk and wore my glasses,Driving off with a smile on my face.
Today is one of the best days of my life.Watching Halsey and Halle scream* I swear I'm innocent mom* still give me joy.
I've gotten rid of the both of them.....it's just remaining Sandra and her twin sister. I swear in my next plan I'll eliminate the both of them,I thought and shrieked happily.
It sure is sweet to be evil, Now I know what Harley Quinn meant,I thought and chuckled.
"In fact I want to listen to *paint the town red* by Doja cat right now"I muttered and immediately played the song.
🎵Yeah, Bitch I said what I said🎵
🎵I'd rather be famous instead🎵
🎵 I let all that get to my head🎵
🎵 I don't care I paint the town of red🎵
🎵I sang happily driving back home🎵
#few minutes later#
"Ah that was one hectic ride"I muttered with a smirk after driving into the house and got down from the car.
I cat walked into the house and saw mom seated quietly on the couch staring at me with a frown on her face.
"Good evening mom"I muttered.
"Where are you coming back from?? "She asked instead ignoring my greetings.
"I went to see a friend"I said staring at her.
"Who,Sandra?? "She asked and then I got really mad hearing her call that name.
"No mom, It's some one different and stop asking me those questions mom, I'm no longer a kid mom..... I'm 19 for Pete's sake. And for your information..... Sandra and I are no longer friends"I said with an eye roll.
"Seriously Hope, What's going on with you??, Hugh, I've noticed that you act so rude and strangely different. Do you want to tell me something honey"She said and stood up from the couch walking towards me.
"I'm fine mom, I don't know what you mean by rude and strangely different because I'm perfectly fine and I'm still the same"I said.
"No Hope, You've changed drastically.....The Hope I know wouldn't yell at her mom or leave the house and come back this late"Mom said.
"She wouldn't look me in the face and tell me that she's no longer a kid or roll her eyes at me"Mom said and I scoffed immediately.
"I seriously want to sleep right now so goodnight"I said and turned to go.
" You see what I'm talking about... The Hope I know wouldn't turn her back at me while I'm still talking to her. I'm going to call your dad Hope, maybe he'll be the one to talk you out of this"Mom said making me to abruptly stop.
"Don't you dare mom, You know what.... fine mom, I've changed.....people change so please get used to it. If you call dad I'll never forgive you"I said angrily and walked away going straight to my room.

8:10pm
Alicia's point of view
"Ouch"I winced as I wrapped the place where I was stabbed.
I just hope I'm not making the biggest mistake of my life, I thought and wore the vest I'll be wearing to fight.
I didn't wear a tank top today because of the wound... I wouldn't want my opponent to know that I have a wound and worst still at my stomach,I thought with a sigh.
I heard the door open and coach Josh rushed into the room and quickly picked up my hand wrap,Wrapping my hand.
"Geez Alicia why the hell are you looking so pail today?,Is it because I said that your opponent today has killed some of her past opponents? "Coach josh asked staring at me.
"No coach that's not it, I'm not afraid of her... It's just something else"I lied.
"Really... Because you don't look like the Alicia that I know whenever she wants to fight. I don't know why but today you look so pail and stressed out.... Do you want me to cancel the match??"He said worriedly and used his hand to feel my temperature.
" I'm fine coach, If you cancel it now it will look as if I'm scared of her or something.Just help me to tie my hand wrap"I said with a light chuckle.
" I don't care if they see it that way Champ, I'm serious you look so pail"He said with a soft sigh.
"And I'm telling you that I'll be okay, come on help me with my mask.....I don't want to keep them waiting for long"I said and he gave me the mask with a perturbed look.
" Wish me luck coach"I said with a smile and wore my mask.
"Good luck champ, I don't know why I'm having a bad feeling about this but I'm going to have faith in you "He said and gave me a quick hug.
" I'll be on my way"I said and walked out...going straight to the Arena.
Immediately I entered and the crowd saw me they began screaming and chanting my name.
Mask girl!!
Mask girl!!
Mask girl!!
Mask girl!!
I waved at them with a smile,I was starting to forget what it felt like being here to fight,I thought and walked into the ring.
I entered the ring and believe me when I say that the lady was unusually so huge and she had muscles popping out on almost all the parts of her body.
I stared at her and took a deep breath standing in front of her. I'm never going to show her that I'm intimidated by her body structure. All I need is my techniques for this match.
We heard the sound of the bell ring to indicate the start of the match so we charged towards eachother starting the fight.
At first were we both just giving and receiving blows...and Luckly I was having the upper hand.
I made sure not to show any signs that I had an injury on my stomach and thank god I was doing really great.
It continued for some time until I started feeling very weak, My vision was starting to get blurry but I managed to act as if I was okay.
It seemed like she noticed it and then gave me an evil smirk before giving me a blow that made me fall on my knees.....making me to almost pass out.
I groaned and tried to shake off the dizziness before standing up and the crowd began chanting my name to motivate me to fight.
I looked around and noticed that most people had a confused look on their faces,Obviously because of the way I was fighting.
I looked at my opponent and threw a kick at her but she grabbed my leg. threw me to the floor and immediately.....making my hair that I packed loosed and then she came on top of me giving me a punch on my face.
I tried to block them with my hand but the moment she noticed it, She held my hand and pinned them to the floor with her knees and continued hitting me on my face.
The crowd became silent and confused.
She finally got up from me and raised her hands proudly but the crowd only boo'd at her.
I started hearing screams from the crowd like l...
"Get up mask girl"
"You can do this"
" We love you mask girl"
"Finish her"
"You're undefeated mask girl"
And then I felt energy surged within me.
I managed to stand up staggering and I had to use the ropes to support myself.
She grinned immediately she turned and saw me on my feet and gave out a wicked smirk.
I took in a deep breath staring at her.I should have just told coach Josh that I'm not okay,I thought with a sigh staring at her.
She came closer and threw a punch at me but I dodged it and gave her a punch instead at her jaw making her groan in pain.
The crowd cheered as I did that and started chanting my name again.She looked up at me with a frown and then rushed towards me throwing a kick,I dodged it but unfortunately it landed on the exact place where I was stabbed making me groan out in pain.
She noticed this and then looked at my stomach with a grin, Oh no seems like she found out, I thought and tried not to show that I am in serious pain.
She rushed to me again and this time her main focus was on my stomach.She would throw a punch and kick to my stomach and I'ld manage to dodge it.
It continued that way and then she finally succeeded in giving me a blow on that spot making me to shriek out in pain.She used that moment and then grabbed my hand flinging me to the floor while I moaned out softly in pain with sweat all over my body.
She was about to raise up her leg and hit it on my stomach when all of a sudden the lights went off making everywhere dark and then I felt someone pull me out of the ring.....carrying me out of the arena.I was going to fight the person off but then I perceive a familiar scent and no one had to tell me that it is Xavier.
************************
Xavier's point of view
"You don't even act like this when I have match but you're all crazy when it's about the mask girl"I said jealously as I watched Seth giggle in excitement for the mask girl.
"Oh please, I just love the fact that she's a good fighter and she has never been defeated"He said making me to scoff.
"For your information..... I've also never been defeated okay"I said and rolled my eyes.
"Why isn't she here yet, she's strangely getting late already"He said and took a sip from his can of soda.
"Maybe she's still preparing,be patient for Christ sake"I said staring at the girl in the ring.
"I heard that the lady in the ring is also quite a very good fighter and I also heard that she have killed like 3 of her opponents "I said staring at the her.
"Really??, That's wild but I don't care because I trust the mask girl. She'll always win"He said with a smile.
"I'm really starting to get jealous with the way you're hyping this mask girl"I said and collected the drink from him.
"You shouldn't"He said with a chuckle.
"You know what, I'm going to ask a question.Between The mask girl and I, Who is your bias??"I asked giving him a wink.
"Of course the mask girl"He replied not even waiting for a second.
"Seriously??"I said with a huff.
"I really also want to see the mask girl win"Darius said from my left hand side staring at us.
"You will Darius...she'll win this match too. You'll love her even more"Seth said with a smile.
"Love???, I can only love my Chloe"He said making Seth and I to roll our eyes in unison.
"Fine, you're going to like her"Seth Seth with a groan and just at that minute we heard the mask girl's song playing and she walked into the arena making the crowd scream wildly.
"Wow she's hot"Darius said with a smirk.
"I wonder why she's putting on that mask"Seth said beaming with smile as she walked past us.
"Of course she's putting it on to hide her identity just like me"I said staring at her too.
She entered the ring and the crowd reduced the noise making everywhere quiet.
The bell rang and they started fighting while we all watched keenly.
Surprisingly she was fighter so slow and sluggish making everyone confused.
" Urmmm guys... Am I the only one that's seeing this?? "Seth said with a confused face.
"I was going to say that too"Darius said while I just continued staring keenly at the mask girl.
"No f**king way"I said making the both of them to turn to me.
"What's wrong? "They asked in unison staring at me.
"Maybe she's just taking her time"I said.
"That doesn't look like she's taking her time, they're beating the living daylight out of her"Darius said.
"Let's just wait and see,Maybe she has a new strategy"I said.
But it didn't look that way because she literally looked so weak and tired.The crowd that would usually go wild whenever she's fighting was now so quiet.
The fight continued with the other lady having the upper hand and then it started to bother me. Something doesn't seem right,I thought staring at her as she stood up and held the ropes for support after the crowd had motivated her.
The lady charged towards her and gave her a kick on her stomach and that made the mask lady shriek in pain.It look like she is hurt there or something.
The other lady noticed this and began targeting her stomach while she just tried her best to dodge the blows.The mask girl's hair suddenly loosed making it fall to her shoulder and then it hit me.
Wait...the hair....That's exactly the colour and length of her hair and looking at her now that's exactly Alicia's height.Please don't tell me that's my Alicia.
Maybe I'm hallucinating,I thought and immediately became restless but then I started noticing even the way she walked.
"That..... is..... my Alicia"I said with a stutter making Seth and Darius stare at me as if I've gone mad.
"Are you drunk Xavier?,What do you mean by that's Alicia?.Are you missing her already??"Seth asked with a scoff.
"I'm serious guys, I can swear that's Alicia over there"I said impatiently and tried to stand up but Seth held me down.
"Look Xavier stop exaggerating.....Alicia is in the hospital and she'll probably be sleeping by now"Seth said while Darius nodded in agreement.
"You know what I'll just call Sandra now"He said and brought out his phone but just then his phone started ringing.
"Great, It's Sandra that's calling"He said and picked the call while I stared keenly at him.
"Hey babe....what's up??"He said with a smile but changed his expression to worried immediately.
"What she's what???, Okay...can I call you back later"He said and hung up immediately.
"What's wrong?? "I asked.
"Sandra said that they've been searching for Alicia for the past 5 minutes that she's no where to be found in the hospital"He said and we all turned towards the ring immediately.
" It's her "Seth and Darius chorused at the same time with a shocked expression.
" I'm going to get her out of there"I said and stood up from my seat immediately.
"Woah,Woah,Woah Dude, you can't just go there and get her out of the ring.....Those guys surrounding the ring are going to kill you before you do.You know how things work here Xavier so think about it bro "Seth said.
"I think he's right bro, Let's be reasonable and do something fast before that girl kills your girlfriend"Darius said.
"Think fast Xavier, you're one of the fighters here so I'm sure you will know what will work out"Seth said.
"Okay I've got an idea...Seth will go to the control room which is at the left side of the underground ring over there"I said and pointed the side.
"And switch off the lights so that I can sneak her out of the rings through the crowd. while Darius,you'll go wait in the car for us"I said.
"Urmmmm okay, I'll get going now"Seth said and rushed out.
"I'll also go wait in the car"Darius said and stood up too making his way out of the crowd.
I glanced at the ring and I couldn't feel so proud,mad and scared at the same time.
I'm proud because I've been her fan for sometime and because she's really a good fighter .I'm mad because she knows fully well that she was stabbed last night and she still went ahead to fight,And I'm scared because she looks as if she'll pass out the next minute,I thought and luckily just then the lights went off making everywhere dark.
I immediately went into action and stylishly passed through the crowds reaching the rings. I pulled Alicia out of the crowd and quickly carried her sneaking out through the crowds taking her to the car.
