We say our heart skipped a beat.
We say our heart jumped.
We say our heart fluttered.
What if it stopped?
"Strength and unity is a part of surviving. But love and care is a way of living."
"You're Mumbo Jumbo's cousin aren't you?"
"And you were born...

-Her POV-
"And the big bad wolf ate Red Riding Hood's cupcake. The End!" "That's one heck of a horrible ending!" "Thanks a lot brother.. I appreciate the love.." "You're welcome sister..although the essay sucks..thanks for doing my homework!" I rolled my eyes and just walked out while mumbling colourful words like blue mangosteen and purple banana..
I locked my room door and plopped on my bed like a hippopotamus. I changed into my cupcake outfit and strained my ears to detect any indication of anyone up and about the house. My cupcake outfit is NOT a pink dress with cupcakes on it like this:

Nope. Never. Its actually my top and my army pants with my all time favourite combat boots:

Not very cupcake-like. I know. I opened my window and jumped out of the window with my sling bag clutched tightly. I landed with a soft thump and ran into the dark night willing the eerie silence to envelope me as my heart thumped in a familiar exhilaration. Yes I can be dramatic at times too. I'm a girl. Get over it.
In a few minutes I arrived at the arena. I entered through the back door only to be greeted by an image that will scar me for the rest of my life. "EWWWWW GABRIEL!!! My eyes!! Oh my precious eyes!". He looked at me and grinned sheepishly. "Hey C!" I glared at him and said "Don't you 'Hey C' me! Oh my poor eyes!" Another chuckle was heard as a voice said "Aww come on C. Stop imitating a tomato and let's get this show on the road!" "Easy for you to say Steph! You don't walk in on two guys doing the deed in your room!" "Oh I would love to walk in to that!" He said and winked at me. My face scrunched up and I gagged. Ew.ew.ew! We walked out of the room together.
I flexed my arms and legs. Soon the announcer , Dean called no shouted my name into the microphone and I cringed. I mean seriously? They gave you a microphone..why do you still need to shout? "Good luck C!" Gabriel said and I cheekily replied " The opponent will need that more.."
I walked out of the shadows and the crowd went wild. But the best part was that they were all cheering by my stage name, Cupcake. Imagine a group of bulky muscled men wearing leather jackets, heavy chains and all the mafia fashion stuff jumping up and down while screaming out "Cupcake"! Very manly huh. I internally laughed at my thoughts.
My extremely cool mask that is black and has electric blue LED lights in lines on it covers 3 quarters if my face. I placed an emotionless mask on and walked to the ring where a huge and I mean HUGE with a capital H , man was standing there bumping his fists and smirking at my tiny frame.
I got in and just stood leisurely unlike the enormous giant who stood in a fighting stance. We did the bump-my-fist-and-its-time-to-play thing and he said "Cupcake? What kind of a name is that? You better get running home little child or someone's gonna get ..hurt" he whispered the last part near my ear. I fake quivered in fear. This only caused his smirk to grow so wide, I almost thought that his face was gonna split into two. Talk about easy win.
The whistle sounded and I smirked and said "Ready to have your face rearranged darling?". Immediately his fist came flying in my direction. I moved to the right at the last second and he stumbled forward. I jabbed him in the rib and a nice crack sounded. He dropped to the ground but got back up with a grunt. He aimed for my jaw but I noticed his trick as he went for my ribs instead. I grabbed his hand and twisted it then flung him over my shoulder. I sat on him and said " You asked my what kind of a name Cupcake is? Its the kind of name that you should remember not to mess with for the rest of your life and don't underestimate the power of a ...little child." I whispered the last part and gave him a square punch in the face that knocked him out.
I stood up and wiped my bloody fist. I hope I don't get STDs.. I was announced the winner bla bla bla normal routine and soon I was walking out with $1500 in my pocket. I gave half of it to Gabe and started my journey home. I glanced at my watch and noted that the fight took longer than I thought as my watch indicated that it was 3 in the morning. Beauty sleep time baby.
Once I got into my room, I changed and went to the 4 year old's door. I opened it a crack and peeked in. I silently tip toed into his room and noticed that he had kicked the blankets off the bed and was sprawled eagle on the bed. A soft smile made its way to my face and I covered him with his Cars blanket. "I won't let anything happen to you, I promise" I whispered softly and kissed his forehead.
Now, let's take the express train to La La land!
