Fighting Scene Writing Novels & Stories

“Of course. Go for the throat.” My legs shook. I pressed closer to the pillar, resisting the urge to squeeze my eyes shut. I’d seen fights before. Bar scuffles on the street below my apartment. Movie scenes. There's nothing like this. If this were one of my stories, there would be a pattern. A tell. A way to hurt the monster that wasn’t just “hit it until it stops moving.” Puffer Vest snapped, teeth inches from skin, and Corvin jerked his head back just enough to keep his jugular intact. The thing’s nails raked his shoulder and chest; his shirt tore, fabric, and blood both dark in the torchlight.

Vincent's attacks were incredibly fierce, each strike filled with lethal precision, as if he were dancing with swords in the dark, the glint of blades flashing with deadly intent. His footwork was exceptionally nimble. He darted through the crowd like a phantom, easily avoiding their attacks. His sharp eyes seemed to cut through the darkness, exposing every weakness of his opponents. The scene descended into chaos. Rosalie attempted to escape, but no matter which direction she turned, she was blocked by the fighting men. She could only retreat, and in the end, she found herself back where she started. The scene was extremely dangerous, and one misstep could result in her getting hurt.

We watch from the sideline as Patrick and Liam warm up for the fight. Their sweating bodies are glistening in the sunlight which is filtering through the trees. “All right. Let´s get this over with.” Liam shoots Patrick a serious look. “I´m ready.” “Then let´s begin.” Both men assume a fighting position. The fight begins as Patrick throws the first punch. Liam blocks it and counters. The fight progresses, with Patrick going on the offensive as Liam fends him off. It appears that Patrick is gaining the upper-hand. I watch as every muscle in their bodies grows taut with every move, flexing with each move they make. This is like Fight Club. Only hotter.

But I stay calm, waiting for the signal from our leader. Finally, it comes. A wave of sound, a whistle sharp and loud. That's our cue. I rush forward, feeling the adrenaline pumping through my veins. My heart pounds in my chest as I engage in the fight, the sounds of fists meeting flesh and the metallic clangs of knives colliding ringing in my ears. The scene dissolves into a blur of violence, the only thing that matters being the ache in my muscles and the blood on my hands. I hear shouts and screams coming from all around me, but I push forward, holding onto the determination that fuels me.

Writer's POV Derek beamed with smile as he unsheathed his sword, tossing the empty scabbard aside with a flourish. Rufus, or perhaps Alpha Nikias, mirrored his actions, struggling to maintain his composure. "May the best man win," Derek taunted, stepping back to create some distance. The crowd was captivated, their eyes filled with anticipation. Whispers and cheers rippled through the air... In an instant, Derek lunged at Rufus, but Rufus dodged just in time, gaining the upper hand and delivering a swift kick to Derek's ribs.

Me? Oh, I’m not fighting. I’ve had enough for today. I’m seeing a movie, remember? And this is a dope fight scene. Together, Cayden and Daniel fought through their numbers, and the rain, still coming down in powerful torrents, made the battle scene more fierce. Soon, many of Ivanka’s men were down but more were joining in to balance things up. Cayden was visibly trying to get to Ivanka who was standing some distance away but some of her men stood as the resistant membrane.

He said, steeping out for them to see him. He needed to make some corrections because to him the guys weren’t getting it right. Turning to the director, Owen, he said. “Is this how to shoot a real sex fight scene? Nah…totally out of it.” He walked over to bounded actor and released his restraints and then he stepped back. “In a real sex fight scene, you both struggle to make your partner come first. And I don’t literally see the struggle. Where’s the fight? C’mon, bring it on.” He urged them and the guys began again.

The fight was inevitable, and as the first snarl turned into a full-blown clash, I braced myself for the chaos that would unfold in the blink of an eye. The rogues lunged, their snarls blending into a cacophony of bloodlust and aggression. Instinct fueled my movements as I met their attacks head-on. Teeth clashed, fur flew, and the forest floor quaked beneath the weight of our struggle. Moonlight painted the chaos in stark shades of silver and black, as the scent of sweat and blood mingled in the air.

I don't kill, I immobilize. I was in the full battle mode now, and wolves were falling at my feet. I was ripping into the side of a gold-coloured wolf, I was distracted. Too distracted to see a rouge lunge at my right. The wolf knocked me to the floor and I growled as blood pooled from my side. The battle was drawing to a close, the rouges were retreating.

I sunk down as the pack began howling in victory, a soft smile working its way onto my lips

Aurora clenched her teeth, her face, a mask of fury. The sound of the horn indicated the start of the contest. Without delay, Aurora leaped forward, her sharp claws aiming for her face. Vivian dodged effortlessly, retaliating with a hardened fist. Aurora groaned and staggered backward, a drop of blood slipping from her nose. Then, she lunged, moving like a cannonball, struck at Vivian's chest. The smug look on Vivian's face faltered, her expression finally becoming serious. Aurora’s body moved like a blur, her strikes were acute and precise. While Vivian didn’t fight, she danced. Her movements were like a cunning snake, flexible and deadly.
