-Nickolas' POV-"Wait, I'm still confused, Nick. She's the most well-known female street fighter, and the second strongest street fighter in general and yet no one knows anything about her?" Jake asks, and I sigh in response, understanding his confusion and unhappy with the situation as well."That and the fact that she's one of the only females in the face-offs. She's around our age but we can't be too sure, plus her partner is the strongest street fighter in the world." I replied, reading over the information that Jason had gathered not too long ago."So the 'Mysterious' part in her name isn't just for show?" I shrugged back as we walked towards the others. I instructed earlier that they all started tra
-Dominic's POV-"You order any pizza?" Xavier asks as I put my contact lenses in. "No," I reply simply but I was curious as to who it could be. Usually, Xavier doesn't get me involved with the people unlucky enough to be found at our door. So, there must be a reason he had this time."Want me to beat him up or are you gonna do that in the competition? He seems like a good warm-up." He pushes and that was my sign to get up and take a look. I made it to Xavier's side to see the guy he was talking about. It took everything in me to stop myself from laughing. It was Nickolas."I'll handle this one" I inform Xavier and he sighs with fake sadness,
-Nickolas' POV-"What do you want?"Her question went right above my head for a moment. Instead, I was more focussed on just her presence. You could feel her strength and it was amazing.However, I shook myself out of my daze and stood firm despite the number of people who were watching me. They didn't like me, I could sense it. No one thought I belonged here and they weren't completely wrong either. I'm a gang leader, I don't belong in a place this disgusting. The smell of blood and alcohol consumed my nose, it didn't match the image of the fighter in front of me though either. She stood with pride, honour, and strangely, beauty. Like a rose full of thorns."You're joining my gang," I command.
-Dominic's POV-I ran up to Nickolas, acting like I was going to punch him but instead swiftly turned and slid my foot under him, making him fall the second time this evening.His back must have been in pain from the falls he's been getting from me recently, but I didn't care. I don't believe in mercy in the ring.I jumped down and elbowed his stomach earning a groan. That's what he got for punching me in the stomach so. many. fucking. times. I thought with a grin but was suddenly pushed around so he was on top of me, he punched my face a couple of time, allowing me to get a sense of his strength. He wasn't weak that was for sure, but I had harder against Xavier.Before he could punch me with h
-Nickolas' POV-I woke up and was quick to realize that I had lost to The Mysterious Demon. I curled my bandaged fists and punched the wall next to me in anger. I failed.Soon I also came to find out that my gang had slowly lost to other street fighters too, Jake being the last. The only fight I was able to watch properly, and the most interesting one, was between The Mysterious Demon and The Champ.It was the longest fight I heard. It was painful to watch too. My anger was replaced with amazement as I watched them, but the anger was not forgotten. When they finally ended the fight in a draw, I took my gang out and we got in place for our attack.A lot of them were injured which I had to be war
-Dominic's POV-Once you reach your peak you're bound to fall. In the last 24 hours, last night was my peak and now I'm dreading my way forward.Not getting the sleep I need is one of the common consequences of street fighting, I'm used to it. But today my body hurt a lot more than it has ever due to the heavy numbers of fights I had, not to mention the extra fight against the Skulls and Bones.Speaking of which, knowing them, I'm probably not going to be left alone today at school either. Their insults have moved onto physical attacks and with my supposedly weak state and their weak state of mind, I'm probably going to get another extra fight.Sighing I wrap around a bandage onto my abdomen, m
-Nickolas' POV-To be a street fighter you must not be going to school. There was no way in hell that a street fighter could be able to go to school in this much pain and this tired every time they go to fight. There was just no fucking way.I wouldn't go to school today either if I didn't want to let out my anger on someone deserving. The pain that I currently had on my way to school only made me angrier. I may not have the ability to beat The Mysterious Demon but there was a girl just like her that I was ready to use as a replacement.I drove my Audi R8 speedily with Zack sitting next to me. Jason would drive the rest with him. This $136,000 car was the first of many cars that I was able to buy once I s
-Dominic's POV-"You should go back inside it's starting to rain," I say while going through my contacts. I don't know why exactly I was so open to Nickolas, I hadn't told anyone about what happened to my adoptive family aside from teachers. Xavier already knew, and Blake only knew bits and pieces but something about Nickolas made me spill it all which was stupid of me. He's probably going to use it against me now. Fuck me."And what? You're going to stay and try to take care of a bike that doesn't have a chance of being repaired?" I curl my hands into fists but stay calm.
-Nickolas' POV-I stood with Dominic's hoodie in my hands, confused as to what exactly she wanted me to do with it. She went towards my car with her phone by her ear before turning to me and calling, "Well? Are you going to put it on and open the door or not?" which then made me realize: she gave me the hoodie to keep me warm. I couldn't help but let a smile form on my face as I put the hoodie on, covering my slightly shivering state.I opened the car afterwards and let Dominic in although she looked quite comfortable under the rain. She slid in and started talking to who I assumed was a mechanic through the phone. I heated the car in the meantime and drove to the gates of the school when Dominic suddenly shouted, "
