CREMA POV

I attack the punch bag aggressively while I am in intense training. I have to study every move of my opponent. I have won several fights and I have won several medals in the field of boxing. But I still need to prepare for the upcoming World Championship. I have to win the coming match because I don't want to fail my Coach, Nieves. I want him to be proud of me and I don't want to be his disappointment.

Since my parents passed away, he has been my second father. He has taken care of me and treated me like his own child. But we also often disagreed because of my insistence on returning to Arizona.

I want to go back to our old house where my parents were killed and lost their lives. I still remember the face of the man who killed my parents. I still remember his transformation into a wolf. A scary creature that I have seen all my life. But as I grew up that fear was replaced by hatred and anger. I want to get revenge and find the one who killed my parents over a decade ago. But Coach Nieves still keeps me from going back to Arizona.

As I sat on the side, he approached me. He leaned over me and patted my shoulder. I heard him take a deep breath and he looked at me seriously.

"What are you thinking, Crema?" he asked worriedly.

"I noticed you'd been anxious for a few days. You know that's not good for you. You need to stay focused, especially since the fight is approaching, "he added.

"I'm sorry, Coach. I just can't help but think of going back to Arizona to get justice for my parents' death," I replied to him.

I was emotional during those times, but he was still stubborn to allow me to return to Arizona. I didn't want to disobey him because he and my sister Daisy were my family.

"How many times would I tell you that I will not allow you to return to that place! We have already talked about that matter, but why are you still stubborn ?! "he preached.

"Is it wrong for me to dream of justice for my parents, Coach? Is it wrong for me to fix what was broken?" I asked him, emotionally.

"Coach, I lost too much in my life and it's not easy to forget the murders I witnessed. I was there while that demonic creature mercilessly killed them! "I added emotional and I didn't realize my tears were falling down.

"I know and I understand you, Crema. I know it's not easy to forget the nightmare that happened in your past. But I don't want anything bad happen to you because Daisy and I love you so much. Aren't we enough for you?" he replied emotional.

"It's not like that, Coach," I said tearfully.

I immediately hugged Coach and he hugged me tightly. My mind was a mess at that time. I also don't want to leave them, but I want to give justice to the death of my parents. I want to go back to Arizona because I want to rebuild myself and get justice.Maybe when I go back there I'll be able to move on at least a little. I want to see the exact area where the ruthless creature killed them.

"We're just here for you, Crema, so don't think you're alone,"he said gently, while still hugging me.

I just smiled sparingly at what he said and somehow my mood eased. He patted my back to get out of the hug. I'm still very lucky because I found a very kind man who considered me to be his child. And I understand why he didn't allow me because he was afraid of losing a daughter again. His daughter, Mary, who once dreamt of becoming a Boxer but was deprived of time due to Leukemia. She passed away five years ago.

"I don't want to lose a daughter again, Crema. I don't want to lose you in our life," he told me sincerely, and I smiled at what he said.

"Thank you for sincerely accepting and nurturing me, Coach." I sincerely thanked him.

Later we decided to go home because we were going to pick up Daisy at school.

While driving down the road, I still can't forget my dream last night. I dreamt of my parents, so it's harder for me to forget all the painful things that happened in the past. Coach Nieves noticed my silence. I just sighed and I tried to smile so he wouldn't have to worry anymore.

When we arrived at school, we both got out of the car. We saw Daisy running towards us. Daisy was sixteen, but she still looked like a child when she caressed us. She was used to being caressed by her father, especially by me. She immediately hugged us and we hugged her tightly.

When we entered the car, she started talking again. She told us what had happened to her at school. This girl never really ran out of things to say, so I enjoyed listening to her.

"We have a new transferee student and he is very smart, Sister" she said with a smile.

"Is it okay to have a crush, sister? hehe! "she said with a shudder.

"Ahm, of course. That's normal, Daisy. Just prioritize your studies and don't have a boyfriend first," I advised her.

"Promise!" she replied, smiling while raising one hand to swear.

I laughed at what she did and I knew she would keep her words. She grew up full of his Father's love and care so I knew she would keep her promise.

When we got home I immediately went to my room to clean my body and change my clothes. I put my gym bag on and took off my clothes in front of the mirror. I looked at my body in the mirror for a while while wearing my boxer bra. I took a deep breath and held onto my vanity desk.

Later on, I went into the bathroom to take a shower and then I brushed my teeth. I came out of the bathroom and immediately got dressed. I arranged myself in front of the mirror.

When I came out of the room, I found Coach putting food on the table. He looked at me and smiled. He invited Daisy and me to eat and the three of us sat in front of the table and had dinner happily.

"We only have three days to wait for the Championship. I want you to know that I believe in your ability, Crema" he said, smiling.

I smiled at what Coach said, but I still felt pressure because I didn't know how strong my opponent was. I didn't want him to fail because I knew he expected me to win the coming Championship.

The days went by and the day of the championship came. Everyone was excited to watch the fight happen.

Coach Nieves approached me and showed me how strong and muscular my opponents were. I admit I was nervous not because I'm scared of my opponent, but because I'm afraid to disappoint my coach.

"You always think that the strong can be defeated by quick brisk. Just like before, just hold on to your faith and stay focus,Crema," he said calmly and patted my shoulder.

A few minutes ago, the fight started. I won a few fights before I faced the women's boxing champion, Ms. Hammer. We were already in the ring and she smiled proudly at me. She even showed me her speed. The fight has already started and I will admit that I had a hard time because of the force of her blow. But after a while my body became brisk and I moved quickly to avoid her punch. Suddenly her attack became slow in my eyes and I had a chance to attack her. Everyone was surprised by the attack I made. Their eyes widened especially Coach Nieves, who obviously could not believe what they saw.
