Win or lose

"After I win this, you will stay away from Adam" what? No way!

"If you will win" I said and smirk.

I know she likes Adam that much but I am not going to stay away from him. He is like my older brother and he and Avah helped me a lot. Staying away from him just because she said so is so unreasonable.

She started attacking me with water spears but I was able to block it with my flames. I threw fire balls at her but her body became a water and extinguished my attacks. She moved her hands and seconds after, my body is soaking wet. I enveloped myself with fire to get rid of the water. Thank god my clothes are fire resistant so it won't burn easily.

We exchanged countless of deadly attacks and gained wounds and burns but none of us showed defeat. We are both panting and our attacks are draining our energy.

"Just give up, George. I won't let you have a taste of victory"

We are now facing each other, circling at the center of the ring and waiting for the first one to attack. I have to save my energy for later so I have to attack with my bare fists right now.

She moved her hands upward together with the water around her and dropped it quickly, delivering needle-like water droplets. I ran to avoid her attacks but I felt a twinge all over my open body parts when the droplets pricked my skin. Blood came out of the wounds but it won't stop me.

I quickly rushed to her direction and covered my fists with fire. I think I have to use a little amount of my power and forget about the latter part of the competition because if I cannot weaken her now, I won't be able to bring her down later.

It hit her stomach and she coughed some blood. I threw another fire punch and it burned her skin. She fell to the ground so I took a jump back. She stood up and wiped the blood on her chin and attacked me with her bare fist. I quickly evaded her punch that caused her to throw more punches. None of them reached me that is why she looked pissed right now. She's letting her emotions control her that is why she can't properly think. She made a sword out of the water and she started attacking me. I was able to dodge it but I was hit by the sword eventually. But instead of feeling pain, I felt nothing but just like a splash of water thrown to me.

Her attacks are getting weaker. She already used most of her energies by using her powers nonstop. Her breaths are getting heavier and I don't think she can throw another deadly attack.

But she attacked me again using her water spears bigger than before. None of them hit me because its movements are too slow. If she keeps on doing that, she might pass out any minute.

She stood up and took a deep breath. I positioned myself because anytime now, I know she will attack me again. But instead of creating weapons out of water and attacking me with those, she threw a punch but I was able to block it with my arm. I punched her in the face but she blocked it too. We kept exchanging punches and kicks and eventually stopped when our attacks are not hitting anything.

We both took a step back. Seems like she gained her energy now because she is forming something out of the water from her hands. What is she planning to do?

She threw a ball of water as big as my head towards me so I avoided it but I did not see the whip coming. The ball was just a bait!

She pulled me towards her and restrained me with a chain made out of water. I fell to the ground but she grabbed my hair that caused me to kneel. I tried to break it using my power but nothing happened.

"That won't work" she said and rolled the whip on her hands as if she is going to tame some wild animal.

"Picking a fight with me is the worst thing you can do, George" she is now walking around me.

I kept on breaking the chain but it won't work.

"Now cry and suffer!" she started lashing me with her whip.

Every time her whip hits me, I can feel a pang of pain. My body was filled with wounds and it felt like I am sweating with blood. I didn't create any sound. I just looked at her angrily while trying to break the chains in my hand. But it won't break!

She kept on hitting and hitting me.

Stop. It's painful. Every hit is painful.

"Cry and beg me to stop!" she is laughing like a devil right now.

Stop.

Stop.

Please stop.

"Stop…" I said in a very low voice.

"What? I can't hear you."

She kept on torturing me.

Stop…

"Beg, George, beg"

Stop…

"SAY IT!"

"I SAID STOP!" I lost control of myself.

My body was engulfed with blazing fire. The chain and her whip that is made out of water, dissolved. She took few steps back.

The fire in my body healed my wounds. I walked towards her and on my right hand, I made a whip out of my blazing fire.

She tried to run to escape my attack but my whip reached her and burned her skin. Feel it. Feel the pain.

She started running again and blocked my attacks with her water shield but it was nothing compared to my fire. My attacks reached her and burned her skin again. She screamed in pain.

When I saw her body full wounds and burns, I felt satisfied. I walked towards her and grabbed her hair. She is angry. She wants to punch me but she is too weak.

"How does it feel?" I whispered in her ears.

I saw her other hand creating a knife out of water. I pretended to not see that and she stabbed me on my stomach. Blood flew out of it and I saw hope in her face.

I treated the wound with my fire while still grabbing her hair. I saw terror creeping in her face when I was done treating my wounds.

I smiled devilishly and grabbed her neck.

"Remember the first time we met?" I asked while choking her.

"It's like a dejavu, isn't it?" I removed my hands and stood up.

I turned my back away from her and started walking towards the exit. This fight is over. I don't care if I lose or I win.

"You, b****!" I felt a knife stuck in my back. She stabbed me…

The anger that I was once suppressing earlier flew out of my body and engulfed me with bluish fire. I faced her and created a whirlwind made out of bluish fire using my index finger. She stepped back and started running but the whirlwind that is now bigger than her reached her and exploded. She fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

My knees weakened that is why I rushed to the exit. I did not know how I created the whirlwind but that is not a problem right now. I lost control of myself again and I almost killed her!

I found an empty chair so I decided to take a seat. I am starting to run out of air so I breathed heavily.

"Oh my god Freya! Are you okay?" I saw Avah running towards me.

I nod at her and calmed myself.

"I am fine, but Maddy might not be" I am worried about what I did to her.

"You should be worrying about yourself first! Look at you! You look so pale!" Avah is now shouting at me. She sounded like a big sister right now.

I just smiled at her. I saw Adam entered the door and gave me a tumbler filled with water. I took it and drank it all.

"You are unbelievable!" He sounds mad.

I stood up but I almost lost my balance so they assisted me.

"Could you please just sit here and take a rest? I'll call someone to heal you." I grabbed Avah's hand so she turned to me.

"I am fine, really. My fire healed my wounds" after saying that, she examined my body and took a deep breath after realizing that I don't have fresh wounds anymore.

"How did you create that whirlwind out of fire?" I looked at Adam and shook my head. I really don't have any idea. The only thing in my mind in that moment is anger.

"You know what, you should go home right now. Adam will assist you. I'll tell John to postpone the announcement of results." She said and went out to look for John.

"Can you walk?" Adam asked me with full of concern.

"Of course, I am not an infant." I joked. He raised his eyebrows so I smiled at him.

He took my things and assisted me all the way home. If Maddy sees this, she'll be mad again.
