You Kissed My Soul novel Chapter 33

Aderyn Pov

I have been waiting in my room for two hours. More two rounds in particular to go. My turn to fight is yet to come. I had to splash water onto my face three to four times due to the sweat forming on my skin.

“Aderyn! Second round. Let’s go” George barged into my room.

I rolled my eyes at his manners.

Wearing my Gloves I made my way out of my room.

“This one is going to be tough babe. You are going to fight a Hercules type of man now” he spoke as we walk. I chose to stay quite as I always do.

I could still hear people shouting and screaming. It seems as if people were getting more wild with every round.

“It’s time for our round two Ladies and Gentlemen” I heard the anchor announcing as I stood inside the wing waiting for his announcement.

“We have Theo Holmes from our wing five” I peeped a little to see a video of Theo playing on that big TV screen. The video was of his last fight as how he defeated his opponent.

“Man! He was more taller and bulkier than my last opponent” I thought.

I watched as he made his way towards the ring with ease as if he owns the place. He threw his hood somewhere and began to roar at people for cheering him.

“Huh” I scoffed

“And now it’s our fighter who finished her fight within less than four seconds making a record” everyone screamed “Flame” and then I entered taking a deep breath with call composure.

“Flame!”

“Babe I changed my mind. You fight! Fight! Fight!”

“Hey sexy you are sexy as hell”

“Oh please go out on a date with me” I smirked at this comment.

So desperate!

“You had no chance against this bull babe”

I heard people screaming and cheering with their respective comments.

“He is nothing in front of you” again the same voice which made me startled again. But I kept on walking. I was not able to recognize the voice because of people shouting and howling. Moreover, the voice was really low as if it was meant only for me to here.

I made my way into the ring while Theo who looked similar to Undertaker paced on his side like a hungry lion.

“Gosh! What have I got myself into” I muttered to myself.

He looked like a man who didn’t care who was in front of him. Male or Female. And by the way he was staring at me and pacing, it told me that he was ready to kill me.

“Fighter Ready?” The referee whistled and asked.

“Ready!” I nodded as I took my place.

“Hmm” Theo just hummed.

“On the count of three”

“One!” My heart bear started to rise again.

“Two!” People screamed counting the number with the referee.

“And Three!” Ringing voice and whistling was all I could hear.

Unlike my first opponent Theo didn’t lunge at me instead he chose not to underestimate me and tired to read my moves.

We began to walk in circles waiting for each other’s attack. When none of us did I chose to be the first one to attack as I always loved to attack than defense.

I lunged at him and began to threw punches directly on his face but he blocked it using his hands. In other moment I punched hard on his stomach which caused him to stumble back a little bit he composed himself quickly and lunged at me throwing a punch on my side.

He was fast.

Pain strikes towards my side due to his punch.

“Damn!” I cursed as I held my side.

He didn’t even give me time to recover as he again lunged at me throwing punches on my face. I got few punches on my face and I was sure it was going to leave bruises. But somehow I managed to block his punches using my forearm.

The next moment I found myself being lifted up and being thrown to ground. Pain flooded into my body and my shoulder twisted oddly making me curse.

Thank god I was fast as I blocked myself from breaking my shoulder by falling backwards.

I saw him jumping on me but before he could break my rib-cage I rolled towards my left saving myself from his deadly attack.

I wasted no time to get up. Before he could get up I kicked on his side and lunged at him punching directly on his face.

People were screaming more by this time.

He used his leg and kicked me again in my hurt side. I winced in pain and stumbled back. He got up on his feet but before he fully stand up I lunged again at him as I jumped on him and using my legs I tangled my legs in his neck and using my body weight took both of us down but with him beneath me.

He winced in pain because I knew I hit his head and back badly.

I got up back on my feet and threw punches at him sitting in top of him.

He was howling in pain and failed to save himself by blocking me. Blood began to ooze out of his cuts from his face and the next moment I was pulled off him by the referee.

I was panting badly. I had to take several breathes to call myself down.

“One! Two! Three!” The referee counted but stopped when Theo stood up on his feet.

“Oh man!” I thought

“Fight!” The referee announced and both of us lunged at each other. With several punches both of us were trying our best and finally I was out of breath.

I was painting badly as I walked backwards.

“One! Two! Three!...” the referee began to count while the audience joined him counting for Theo again who was now lying in the floor panting badly. He was definitely out of breath.

“Winner!” I was announced as the winner.

The crowd howled and cheered calling “Flame! Flame! Flame”

I walked out of the ring.

“Only one left now” I thought

“Ladies and Gentlemen Flame made it to the third round. Our first female participant to make it to the third round” the anchor announced as the crowd grew more wild and I began to hear people cheering my name.

I walked back into my room and as soon as I was inside I fell on the floor.

I was drained out.

I was breathing heavily and sweating badly. Throwing my gloves I took a deep breath as I spread my legs and hands resting them for some minutes.

I was tired.

Slowly when my breathing was even I got up from where I was lying and walked towards the bathroom. Splashing water on my face, I tried to calm myself.

Then using a towel I wiped away the water from my face and sat on the bench relaxing. I drank my protein shake and took out a packet which I was given by George to eat.

The packet contained bread and banana.

I ate it silently and after I was done I threw the packet into the dustbin. Now I was totally relaxed. My energy was back and I felt good. My side still hurt but I tried to apply ice pack on it to give myself little relaxation.

It’s been already an hour. Round 2 is over I guess and now people had taken a break to eat something.

“Aderyn!” I looked towards the door to find George again barging in without knocking.

“Hmm?”

“Did you eat something?” He asked

“Yup!”

“You are fourth this time and the match will start in fifteen minutes” he spoke as he walked towards me and sat next to me on the bench.

“Okay”

“Uh tell me something” he began
