Killing My Alpha Mate

"Hey" I'm kicked by the side of my ribs rising lousily from the ground. I had fallen asleep. I look up at the guy who just woke me up. "It's time to go sugar" he says, hooking his tongue piercing in his teeth.

Suddenly remembering I had a fight right about now I stand to my feet folding my hair in a messy ponytail.

Praying to the moon goddess she saves my a*s from this.

Walking through the dark cellars, down a tunnel where I could hear a crowd cheering, a gladiator ring behind a caged wall.

Two men and a girl were standing by the side of the gates.

"Here" the girl hands me a sword that had a stain on it, that looked like blood.

My eyes widened in horror as a thought kicked in that it might be my blood next.

"Hey" The girl calls out to me, "Don't die," she says, smiling genuinely.

Which I don't respond to. I was too busy figuring out how to survive this.

The hinges of the cage creak as it's being pulled upwards then I'm shoved into the light, the cage closing as I walk in.

The crowd was shouting and cheering, matching my racing heart.

I look straight ahead and see Aitch in a chair beside two girls fanning him as he drinked from a golden goblet.

He stares at me with a wink. I hear the second cage open at the far end of the arena.

"Her opponent is our champion and three times in a role as death warrior Crazy Jane" the commentator announces and the crowd goes wild, my hands shaking as I hold the sword weakly. I hear grunting like a beast as she stomps into the ring and my jaw drops.

Crazy Jane didn't look feminine at all wearing a torn shirt with blood marks, heavy leather belt and pants with spiky boots.

Her hair was weaved back, a stitched scar running from her left eye down her strong jaw, her sword two times larger than the one I held.

I stare at the large woman in defeat. It would take more than a miracle to win this fight.

"We have one rule;" The commentator says.

"Kill or get killed" The crowd choruses as they go in a fit of cheering.

Crazy Jane looks at with a small smirk on her busted lip. She advances and I do the one thing I think I can.

I run without looking back.

The crowds starts laughing

"Who brought this baby to the arena"

"This is a fight not a race"

"Boo!" I hear the crowd yell.

But it wasn't their lives that was at stake here it was mine so I grip the cage I just walked though, like my life depends on it cause it did.

"Come here princess I won't hurt you" Crazy Jane states swinging her sword like it weighed nothing.

"Hey " The girl who handed me the sword calls behind me.

"Not a good time for a conversation" I reply panting.

"Just want to tell you your time is ticking if the crowd votes you out you are dead meat" I look to my left where she's pointing and see a giant timer ticking 4:36 seconds left.

It makes sense Jane didn't make a move to catch me. She was safe because obviously the crowd would choose me to be annihilated.

If I stay here or I don't. I'll be killed anyway. I'd rather die trying.

I leave the cage, my body shaking as I pick up the sword from the spot it fell.

"Took you long enough" With a lot of force she swings her sword at me i dodge the attack just in time and the sword hits the ground pouring dirt from it that touches her eyes using the opportunity I strike her at her hand but she doesn't flinch from the pain I inflicted looking at me with red eyes she tosses her hand hitting me hard on the face knocking me to the ground my sword flying to the dirt.

I hear her stomping behind me, she pulls my hair in her grip punching me hard in the ribs making me vomit blood hitting the ground on my back crawling backwards as she approaches me.

Gathering a lot of sand in my hand I throw it at her but she looks away just in time using her hand to wipe it off I use the opportunity to run to my sword grabbing it from the floor.

"Enough play time" she says, holding her sword high above her head hitting my sword with force. I use both my hands to stop her attack bleeding out in the process as I use all my strength fighting through the pain to hold her sword from hitting me. She pulls her head hitting me on mine. I hear my skull break as I feel blood tickle from my head stomping backwards. She launches at me.

I hold my sword up just in time as she lands on the blade of my sword with her stomach.

I pull my sword back and she slumps to the side from the pain with force. I use the b**t of the sword smacking her head till she can't move again. The crowd is silent.

"Crazy Jane has fifteen seconds to move before The little angel is declared the winner"

"10...

"9...

"8...

"7...

"6...

"5...

"4...

"3...

Jane shakes her hand raising it and it falls back down.

"1... The commentator finally says then a huge alarm blares.

"There you have it, the little Angel wins."

The crowd silent as I slump to the ground, my lungs burning from being deprived of oxygen, letting the sword drop to my side. The crowd goes wild and I can't believe I actually did it, I survived. "Wait..." A voice cuts through the air.

“She's still alive" I look at where Aitch is sitting. He was the one who voiced it.

I look at him confusion settled in,the time is up I had been declared the winner

"Finish the job" he says calmly but I don't move to pick the sword watching a hurt Jane trying to get back to her feet.

Aitch jumps from where he is sitting from the crowd and lands on his two feet.

He walks up to me, his face molded in a frown. He picks the sword by my side and shoves it in my hand.

"Do it" He threatens sternly.

"But-

"No buts you kill her or you get killed"

I look at where Jane lies. I have never killed anyone and I had nothing against her even if she just tried to kill me but if I were to save my life at the cost of here's I would.

Standing up from the ground I walk up to where she is whimpering.

Raising the sword above my head I swallow as I look down on her.

"Do it" Aitch urges.

"No!" I state dropping the sword by my side in dismay, I can't, I just can't.

Aitch walks up to me picking the sword from the floor pointing it in-between my eyes as I accept my faith this will be my end.
