Playing Dirty

KIARA

Night had fallen and we had just finished a game of monopoly , with Raihana winning . ” Ok , end the game , I’m done . ” Rayhan said , sitting back with not a single monopoly note to his name . ” You are awful at this . ” Raven remarked . ” It’s a game of luck , what do you mean awful ? I was never landing on an unbought property and then I kept landing on all your guys ‘ houses . ” He complained , running his fingers through his hair . I faked a yawn , stretching . ” Alright guys , I’m off to bed , I’m tired . ” I said while massaging my neck . ” Already ? ” Raven asked . ” It’s only 9.30 . ” ” Healing takes a toll . ” I lied . I honestly felt fine , after I was kicked out so rudely ! ” Oh yes … That’s kind of cool though , that you’ve got that ability . ” Raihana said . ” Yeah , something we need to keep on the low . ” Rayhan added .

” Alright , well I’m going to go FaceTime Mom and Dad . ” ” Don’t tell them what’s been happening if you ever plan to visit again . ” Rayhan told her as both of us got up and walked out . I was glad no one questioned me much , as I silently made my way to my room and changed into some sneakers .

I pulled my hair into a messy bun and looked in the mirror , before picking up the staff that I had brought along with me . Well , here goes nothing … I snuck out silently through the back door of the mansion , using the light on my phone as a guide . I wasn’t even sure where I was meant to meet Carmen so just made my way to the training grounds . Sure enough , there she stood . ” That’s something to see , a wolf using a torch . ” She chuckled . ” Well , there’s a first for everything . ” I said . ” So , I was thinking the training grounds might be the best option . Or should we go t o an indoor hall ? ” She asked mockingly . ” Up to you . Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

I don’t care either way , I’ve trained to fight without my sight . If you need the advantage of the training grounds , or should I say the darkness , that’s fine by me . ” I said , walking over to the low wall and

jumping over . I heard her growl . 2 ” Watch it pup . ” Stating facts , did I hit a nerve ? ” I asked . I wasn’t wrong . If she wanted to use my blindness to her advantage , then fine . ” I think it may be better we go inside then . ” She muttered . ” Nope , this is what you wanted . Let’s carry on . I actually want to see how much of a disadvantage I am at , compared to a warrior female who is trained to fight and kill . ” I said , now placing my phone down o n the wall after switching the light off . I spun my staff and looked at her . ” Are you sure ? I don’t want you crying later . ” ” I’m sure . ” I said confidently .

” I’m a Westwood , we don’t back down . ” She knew I’d agree anyway . I wasn’t actually sure how I’d fair against her . After all she had experience on her side , plus extensive training from this pack . I also had no idea about her fighting style . ” I’m using a blunt weapon too . I thought i t should be a little fair . ” She said and I heard her come closer . ” Of course , fair . ” I said mockingly . Was she for real ? Fair ? I was blind here ? Stupid bitch . ” I don’t really want to waste time talking , so let’s do this . ” 11 She didn’t reply and I heard her lunge towards me . I blocked her , aiming for a low kick .

Spinning around , I swiped my staff , satisfied when I heard the sound of i t connecting and a low grunt . 2 ” What the … ” ” Don’t underestimate me simply because I cannot see . ” I said quietly . I spun around as I advanced now . I was not going to let her get the upper hand . She definitely had power and probably stamina on her side . She was bigger and stronger , whilst I was probably faster . What people didn’t often realise was the change in their breathing or heartbeat before they made a move . That was what I relied on , not to mention I could roughly smell where they were . Sure ,

it was still risky not knowing what angle they would hit from , but I had learned how to have complete cover from all attacks . I sensed her move forward and quickly retreated , backing away slowly . I turned m y back towards her as I pretended to keep up , wondering if she’d fall my defences for it . I sensed her approach quietly and pretended to search for her in front of me , although I knew she was right behind me .

She was good at keeping her heartbeat low and steady , but I was better at this game . I timed my attack and when I felt her get ready to pounce , I spun around and felt my staff connect with her

stomach , throwing her backwards with a painful thump . She was up in seconds and hit me with the heavy metal weapon she was holding . I bit my lip to stop the hiss that almost left my lips . Whatever she was using contained silver . ” Bitch . ” She swore , yanking my staff from my hand , surprising me . I then felt a heavy kick to my head and went flying as shooting pain rushed through my skull . ” I never knew you were aiming to disarm . ” I said . Hadn’t we silently agreed to weapons ? ” Well , rules change in seconds in a fight . ” She said . ” You should have known that .

I frowned but said nothing , trying to hear her make her next move . It was hit after hit , she was strong and resilient . I blocked some , some I didn’t . I did get a few in too , but without my staff I was losing , not to mention she still had the weapon that I had no idea of what it was . She charged at me and I raised my arm to block her attack . Hearing the swing of her weapon I dived and pushed myself forward , hitting her hard with my shoulder as I felt my foot give way , making me stumble . I heard her chuckle a s she brought the weapon she was holding down on the back of my head .

I twisted around , grabbing the silver blade of what was definitely a sword , and yanked it from her grasp . I felt the silver burn my hands and cut into my palms . I could smell her growing anger and frustration . The slight smell of sweat and my blood hung in the air , mixing with the fresh smell of the crisp night air . She growled as I kicked her in the stomach and finally managed to tear the weapon from her grip . ” If I’m not using a weapon , then neither are you ! ” I said , putting space between us . Without my staff for support , I had a higher disadvantage . ” Fair enough . ” She scoffed .

I heard the scuff of her foot as she ran at me but this time I was prepared . ” Gotta admit , you lasted a lot longer than I thought you would . ” I could hear the clear anger she was trying to hide . 2 ” Yeah ? Well , I guess I’m the queen my mother taught me to be . ” I said breathlessly . I blocked her kick and twisted her foot whilst she punched me in the shoulder , I felt something crack painfully in it , making me wince . The moment we both moved away ,

I snapped i t back into place . I was adamant on ignoring the excruciating pain that was now shooting up my ankle . ” Hmph , we will see . ‘ ” The Blood Moon pack is second to none , although we are a

pack of not just warriors , it seems we are still pretty impressive . ” I said . I was proud of my pack and I would make that clear . She came at me again , her anger and annoyance clear in her aggressive attacks . At the last moment , I ducked and tackled her to the ground . We both hit the floor , knocking the wind out of her . I went for her throat , squeezing hard . Pressing my knee over one of her arms and stomach . ” Tap the ground in defeat or I will give you up to 10 to get free . ” I said , tightening my grip . She grunted , trying to wrench free . ” Not happening . ” She wheezed .

She let out a choking growl and I felt her claws elongate before they dug into the back of my neck , making me gasp in pain . ” What a disappointment . You broke literally every general rule of a match . ” I said in disgust , punching her across the face . ” Yet I’ll still win this without doing s 0. ” I squeezed her neck before lifting her head off the ground by her hair and slamming it back down on to it , hearing a sickening crunch . She groaned in pain , her eyes flashing dangerously . ” Ten …. nine …. eight … ” I began counting slowly , unbothered by her venomous gaze .

I could feel she was going to black out soon enough , so I eased up a little . Five … four …. three … two … ‘ 11 11 She raked her claws down my back , slicing through my top and bra strap as pain seared across my back . What a fucking cheater . Was this what they were taught ? She chuckled , but I shook my head . ” One . ” I let go of her roughly and stepped away from her . I wished I could see her facial expression , but I couldn’t . ” It disgusts me that this is the level you lowered yourself to , just to win a simple match to check someone’s level .

I may be a handicapped wolf , or a defective wolf to you , but I worked hard to be the very best version of myself that I’m capable of being . It’s disappointing that such a proclaimed warrior , who is complimented in most packs , would resort to such tricks . The rules of a sparring match are common knowledge , but for you to break them , it’s pathetic . ” I turned away . My entire body ached and I still would have to feel for my phone along the wall . I just want a long shower and then my bed . I heard her scoff . ” You’re still a fucking defect , everyone knows that . “

I decided to ignore her . I wasn’t sure why she was so hateful towards me , if it was because of the small issue over dinner that day then she really had some shit to deal with . I heard her get up as I reached the wall and began feeling along it , hoping I wasn’t too far from my phone . What I wasn’t expecting was something t o ram into my already painful right foot , making me scream in agony .

The sound pierced the air as I fell to my knees , clutching it as the pain took over . My eyes sting with tears of pure anguish . I heard her chuckle . ” In real life , you’d be dead . There’s no such thing as a friendly match . If you duel , you duel to win . ” 11 ” You lost , whether you think so or not . ” I said coldly . ” Unless you want me to 11 humiliate you further , go . ‘ She scoffed . ” Whatever , loser . ” She spat before walking off . I stayed on the ground , praying the pain eased up . Couldn’t I heal myself ? The sudden thought made a ripple of curiosity run through me and I closed my eyes in determination , taking a deep breath as I focused …
