Triple Terror?

Chapter 3

AMBER'S POV

Feat gripped me and I started sweating because Nina was known for keeping to her words. She was also ruthless and it was certain that she wouldn't go easy on me, just as she had said. I envied all those who were cheering others, they didn't have any fear or problem. I was here, worrying about how I would die in the hands of a cruel girl.

The time that I dreaded was here, it was my turn and Nina was already pressing her knuckles to get ready for the duo contest. Everyone became silent and I could tell why they became silent, it was because they were curious about how I was going to strive in this contest, considering the fact that Nina was my partner.

"Let's take a small break." Mrs. Phillips said as she left the field.

I exhaled in relief as I heard that. I was going to prepare myself mentally for the contest. While others were chatting happily, I stayed in a quiet place all alone, dreading the end of the break.

Then I saw a dark portal with my side eye. It was a really dark one, with dark mist. I was drawn to it and then when I got there, I went in and in a minute, I fell from nowhere and hit my hand on a rock, which sent a sharp pain through my body. Then I stood up, and I looked around, it was spooky and dark. Although, I could see. It was just like every other night in our world. But this place seems deserted.

 I was in the middle of nowhere and this scared me out of my wits.

“How did I get here? I...I was on the field a minute ago." I muttered under my breath, looking confused.

Then I saw a strange person who seemed to be a man. He wore a cloak with his back faced to me. I felt chills go down my spine and I started shivering in fear as I wondered if I could call the attention of the person, or I should leave quietly. 

I needed to go back as I didn't understand what was going on. But because I was too scared to ask him what was going on, I turned around to find the portal.

Then I turned around and was shocked to see that same man in a cloak, with his back faced to me. It seemed as if I had not moved from the spot I was in when I started walking back, hoping to see the portal that would transport me back to the field.

Then the man started laughing hideously and it echoed everywhere. Fear gripped me and I could feel my legs shaking. I prayed for morning to come, so I would feel less scared.

“If you are thinking morning will come, do not be deceived. We have no sun over here. He started to turn around slowly to look at me. I felt I was going to faint if I saw his face, I dreaded seeing his face because I knew he was going to be scary.

To my surprise, he was faceless. It was just a cloak that seemed like a ghost. I fainted, and how I knew I fainted was when I woke up, cleaning my eyes.

Everywhere was still dark, and I knew that this was serious, and I had to take this head on. Those scary things won't allow me to move forward, and that won’t be good. I stood up and kept moving forward until I saw a dark alley where I could see nothing but somehow, I knew that was the way to where I was going to. 

Fear gripped me as I made my way into the alley and couldn't see a thing, then I felt a cold hand hold my wrist. 

“Gotcha!” It said, in a husky voice.

I screamed out loud and released myself from its grip and ran. While running, I ran into a thick streetlight and it really hurt my head.

“Ouch! Damn it. Do they have streetlights that don't work.” I said, as I felt it, to be sure it really was a streetlight.

"We are letting you go and this is because of the works your brother did while he was alive. Someone close to you, sent this portal to you, but thank your stars or you would have been erased from existence, today." The man said and before I could understand what was going on, he snapped his finger and I was back to the field.

"Amber, where the hell are you going to!" Nina shouted in anger.

I could see that Mrs. Phillips was back and everyone were settling down.

Nina and I stood at the open ground, opposite each other and ready to start the contest.

"You can start." Mrs. Phillips announced, watching us closely.

Nina didn't waste any single second before she started striking at me, although, I was lucky enough to dodge her claws. Then she tricked me by making me lose focus and that was when she had her first dig in my tummy. I groaned and growled lightly, this was a pain that was too much to bear.

To others, it must have seemed normal, but to me, it felt like I could die from this pain. Nina didn't hesitate to give me another strike which I couldn't dodge anymore, because I was already weak.

I fell to the ground, feeling faint already and Nina didn't stop. It was like she was carrying out a murderous act on me.

"Stop right now, Nina!" Mrs. Phillips ordered, in an angry tone.

She came closer to us and then pushed her away.

"If I wasn't going to say anything, you would have let her die?" She lashed out on Nina.

"I'm sorry, ma'am. I just wanted her to be provoked to fight for herself." Nina defended, speaking softly.

"That's nonsense. How would a weak omega be able to defend herself against you?" 

All of a sudden, people began to scream so loud. I was curious about what was going on, but I was weak at that moment.

"It's the Triple Terror!" I heard someone screaming so loud in excitement.

"Those boys are back again." Mrs. Phillips said, then heaved a sigh.
