Chapter one

"Storm you have to go! Then we'll work together and its high paying. You can get your own place and be happy!" My best friend Owen tells me.

"Thank you Owen, but no! I dont want to work under some arrogant snobby boss who doesn't care about anything other than money. And money doesnt buy happiness." 

"He's a caring boss! I promise!"

"Yeah because you're one of his "bros"! I'm a girl! He'll treat me like shit like every boss I've ever had! I may as well just continue fighting as my only source of income. At least then I get respect." Owen is the only person who knows about me fighting. I go to a fight club every Friday night and some times on week days. I live with Owen in his condo. One more win and I can get my own.

"Please Storm. Just go to the interview! There's a low chance you'll get it anyways." He reasons.

I sigh and say, "Fine. But only for you! Its tomorrow right?"

"Yeah. I already have your outfit ready. Its gunna have you lookin finnnne." 

I laugh at him. "Go flirt with your boyfriend or something. I bet he misses you. I have plans with peanut butter, my bed, and music. So buh-bye." I walk to my room and get ready for the fight tonight. Its Sunday so more random but I was called. When I have the correct clothes, which is shorts and a tight tank top, I sit and put my ear buds in. I start listening to Pull Me Apart and eat peanut butter. Delicious. An hour before I have to leave I go to the built in gym. I start with weights and then go to the treadmill. When I go to leave a man walks in and gives me a weird look.

"Um, can I help you?" I ask feeling more self conscious than normal under his gaze.

"I haven't seen you here before. Nothing to worry about."

Chapter two

 "Uhh okay? I'm just gunna, go..." I say slipping around him not breaking eye contact. His eyes are icy blue, and very captivating. 

"Okay. See you around then." He smirks and turns around. I walk away with a smile on my face. I go to my car and drive to the tattoo parlor. I go to the back and behind the curtain. When I get to the door I tell them my code name. They let me in and I go to my changing room. I put on my mask so that no one knows exactly who I am. 

"Youre up in two, Shadow." The announcer tells me on his way to the arena. 

"Okay. Thanks." Shadow is my code name so nobody knows my real name. I walk to the entry doors and stop. Tonight should be fun. I have to go against the worst person to fight in this club. I'm the second. If I beat him I'll be the biggest competitor here. No presure.

"Next up, the best against the best... Thunder and Shadow!!" Jeff, the announcer yells and the crowds go wild. I push through the doors and see him. Hes probably a good 6 inches taller than me, at 6' 3" and me 5' 9"

 I'm pretty tall for a girl but still. I tie my thick brown hair into a pony and get in position. He throws the first punch but I dodge it. I side-step his next one, only to be met with his other fist colliding with my ribcage. He right-hooks my face and kicks me in the knee. I return the favor by doing the same. I grunt in pain from my ribs, which quickly turns to fury. I upper-cut him in the jaw causing him to stagger backwards. This gives me the opportunity to kick him in his no no square. He falls to the ground on his hands and knees so I kick him in the face again. 

I turn him around and pin him down. He manages to knee me in the stomach. I bend his arm in return and he cries out in pain. I dont really feel bad, like most after so long. You kind of have to be emotionless in this arena. 

"Ahhh! Fine! I give up! You win!" He yells. The crowd goes wild once again as I get up. I turn to them, and up against the fence is a familiar pair of eyes, not that I can pin point who the owner is. Hes wearing a mask like everyone else is so I cant see the rest of his face. He catches me looking at him and he smiles at me.

I roll my eyes and look away as Jeff says, "There we have it! Our new number one fighter, Shadow!!" The audience claps and I bow. "Next up, Blade and Red! Get ready for the new fighters first fight!" He continues. I look back for the mystery man to see that he is leaving. Interesting. I decide to watch the next fight, since there is a new fighter. Red has been here as long as I have.  I ask the security guards to open the gate. They do so and I few minutes later, Blade and Red are called into the arena. Red comes out and then the new fighter does the same. From the angle I'm at, I can see a tattoo of a sword on his lower back. Blade. Makes sense. 

Red takes her swing and ends up in a head lock. Nice move. For him at least, not her. She kicks his knee and he lets her go. She gets his fist to her stomach So She holds it. We've sort of become friends over the 6 years I've been here, so I feel the need to help as much as I can.

"Go Red! You can do this Hun!" I yell, getting both of their attention. She snaps out of it faster than him, nodding. He contines looking at me. He winks and turns to Red punching his stomach. He gets a few good punches in before she jumps on his back, confusing him. She jumps off and knocks him over from the back on his knees. "You go girl!" I encourage. She has him pinned down, until he flips them over and he's holding her down. He sits on her stomach, causing her to have a difficult time breathing, until she finally forfeits.

Blade stands up and helps her up. Aww he's sweet. 'Wait what?? Oh my God shut up Storm!' I scold myself. They both exit and I go back to my room to change clothes, realizing I have to be up at 5 in the morning to be fully prepared for this interview. I grab my phone and check it while walking out to my car. I have a text from Owen but before I can answer it I hear, "Wait up Shadow!" From behind me. 

I turn and see Blade running after me. "Yeah?" I ask.

"Hi. I'm Blade, as you know I guess but I just wanted to say, you were really good in there."

"Thanks... You too." I say baffled.

Chapter three

 "Thanks! Well I have to get home, but yeah. See ya later!" He says, leaving me in the middle of the parking lot. Eh. I walk to my car and leave. I take my mask off and head into the building. I go to Owens unit and walk in. Hes on the couch watching a movie with Zach, his boyfriend.

"Heyyy bitch." He says seeing me.

"Hi dork." I answer heading towards them. "Hey Zach."

"Hello Storm." He says pulling me into a hug.

"Have fun, but I need more than two hours of sleep so I'm gunna get the three I can. Night you two!" I walk into my room and quickly change. I take the outfit off of my bed, that Owen put there for my interview. I fall onto my queen sized bed and drift into a pretty restless sleep.

My alarm goes off and I quickly turn it off. I get up to shower and grab the clothing on my way to the bathroom. I turn the water on and look at my self in the mirror. I examine the bruises on my torso and legs. I look up at my face and see a mark on my cheek. It isnt that bad and will easily be covered. I get in the shower and wash my hair. As I let the conditioner soak in I shave my legs and wash my tan body. When I'm done I get out and dry myself. I get dressed and look at myself. Owen brought me nice black jeans, a white button up shirt covered by a black business suit, coat. 'I look like a business woman already.' I laugh at myself.

When I finish getting ready I get in my car and go to the address he gave me. Blade Enterprise it reads. 'Here goes nothing.' I sigh and walk in the building.

Chapter four

The secretary directs me towards the elevator to get to the 10th floor, where the interviews are being had. I go up to that floor and notice that I already don't fit in. All the other women are wearing skirts and heels. Ew. I look down at my jeans and brand new black converse and sigh. I go to the waiting room where others are waiting too. Not that I really want this job, but it kind of intimidating. I already have enough money from winning last night to buy my own condo so I don't really need it, but still. They all look like they came right out of
