Okay that's it. I jammed my elbow back hitting him in the stomach. I twisted is arm and shoved him. He came back swinging. I dodged and round house kicked him in the face. He stumbled and came running at me. I punched him, then did a back hand spring kicking him in the jaw. I landed and swept his feet out from under him.

I straddled him and just threw my fist into his face as hard as I could. I repeatedly hit him in the jaw. I knew he was out but I just couldn't stop myself. All the anger I felt for the past month was coming out and I was using James as my own personal punching bag.

I only stopped when I had arms wrapped around me. I still struggled against them until I heard "Lily, easy. You won. He's unconscious. You did it." It was Peter

"Winner is Lily!" Four announced, his face frowning when he looked at me

"Do I look that bad?" I asked Peter "and no lying"

"You don't look to good Lil." He grimaced looking at my face then pulled me into a hug

"Ow" I flinched and when I lifted my shirt my ribs were all black and blue

"Lily, you need to go get that looked at"

"I'll take her" Eric said from behind me

"No thanks, I'll take myself" I spat while walking out the door

"Lily! Wait up" Eric said running after me

"No. Just leave me alone. You've done enough" I was beyond pissed

"I'm sorry let me explain"

"Sorry? you didn't look to sorry when you were setting up the match!" I screamed "you didn't look too sorry when James slammed me on the mat. And don't give me that 'no special treatment' bullshit Eric"

"Lil-"

It was too late, I was already rounding the corner and leaving him there alone.


Later that night I met up with Peter in the pit and grabbed some food before heading out to see our scores.

"How you feeling Lily?" Peter asked looking me over

"I've been better" I shrugged

It wasn't long until Tori, Sam, and Jake came to join us

"Oh shit. What happened to you?" Jake stated

"Jake you ass! you can't say those things" Tori Seethed

"No it's fine." I said "Eric's what happened. He set up a great final fight for me today" sarcastically I ended

"Dude, tell me the other girl looks worse" Sam asked

"The other GUY you mean. And yeah, he looks ten times worse" Peter started "Broken nose, black eye, three broken ribs on one side, two bruised on the other. His jaw is fractured and his spine is bruised"

"Wait, guy?" Jake questioned "they had you fight a dude?"

"Yes Jake, that's usually what guy means" Tori replied like he was an idiot

"Hey, I was just clarifying that I heard them correctly" he snapped back

"Are you alright though?" Sam asked while Tori and Jake bickered

"Yeah, just sore. My backs killing me."

"Hey, we have to go or we'll miss the scores!" Peter said while dragging me away

"Well, that was rude of you" said pulling my arm out of his hold and we walked to the training room


"Initiates. Today is when you find out your ranks. You will still be ranked in stages two and three but there will be no more cuts after today!" Max said while we all cheered "here is where you stand."

I let go a breathe I didn't even know I was holding. I turned to Peter and smiled. He smiled back and laughed. We did it, we made it past stage one. He threw his arms around me and picked me up, spinning me around

"WE DID IT!" He yelled

I couldn't help but laugh and scream! It was an amazing feeling. I dropped from Peters arms and pulled my hair up.

"We have to go celebrate!" I started "Let's get drunk"

"Yes!"

I hopped on his back

"Away my trusty steed" I yelled while kicking his sides

He shook his head and ran from the room. I only looked back and saw Eric staring at me. I shook my head and yelled for Peter to run faster.
