And Then There Were Four by Lilith Carrie

"You let it out, didn't you... Talon told you about that-" Laughter escaped me at his response. Yes, Talon had said a lot of things but he wasn't here. "Fight or die, Pollux. Your choice."

I wouldn't really kill my brother, and he knew that. It was simply something we had done as kids. The first one to land a potentially deadly blow was the winner of the fight, but the problem was where he did like to fight he didn't train as often as me because his ego over being the "future Alpha" made him believe he didn't need to.

I however... I thrived for the battle. A secret I held deep inside me.

The desire to watch blood flow like rivers upon the ground.

Standing his ground, he took his stance with an angry glare. A glare I lived to see, because honestly, he and Talon were the only ones who ever gave me a run for my money when it came to battling and the adrenaline was a drug I craved.

Taking the same stance as my brother, I heard the murmured words of the coach. "Lux, are you sure about this..."

"Yeah, I am. Start the fucking match. If she wants to get what they had, that's on her."

So cocky and foolish.

A voice inside me spoke softly in the darkness, and as it did, I hesitated for a moment. One single moment, and during that moment, Pollux made his move catching me in the side of face. I paused for just a moment, the tangy metallic taste in my mouth causing something in me to smirk with satisfaction.

"Oh, brother-is that all you have?" Making my move, I launched myself into attack. Swing after swing, hit after hit, we battled and our movements matched like that of an elegant dance between partners. We were evenly matched in our current state, but there was a side of me he would never be able to touch.

With a sudden blow, we both landed on the ground knocked back by each other's hits, and landing on the ground, I wiped the blood from my mouth one more. Just to realize Zia was standing near me. "Aww, did you fall?"

"Go fuck yourself, Barbie," I spat at her. The distraction gave enough time for my brother to grab me by my hair and throw me to the ground once more. The stupid bitch distracted me on purpose, and knowing she did pissed me off.

Slowly the burning fire inside me

grew, and as gazed at Lux, who stood in front of where Zia and

Lucas stood, their eyes growing wide with realization of how pissed I truly was. Lux had no choice but to face me, and as he charged, spun and kicked him, landing a hit to his chest which sent him flying through the air until he hit the ground with a thud.

"Using a girl, Lux!" I yelled at him with a maniacal laugh. "That's cheating."

"Cassie, that's enough." The coach yelled, but his words fell on deaf ears as I stalked towards my brother.

"Do you submit, Lux?" I asked as I watched him struggle to stand. "Just submit, and this will all be over."

"Go fuck yourself, Cassie," he snapped as he struggled to his feet. "I'll never submit to you."

Placing my hand on my chest, I smirked, shaking my head. "Pity... So I guess you want to continue then. Well, come on... I'm waiting."

"I said enough!" The coach yelled again as he came to stand between Pollux and I. "I don't know how you did things back home, but that isn't how shit works here. When I say enough, that means to stop. Do you hear me?"

Looking up at the man, I smiled,

Ret

seeing the irritation and anger swirling behind the depths of his golden eyes. "Sure thing, coach. was just fun and games anyways. May suggest picking your best fighters another way? Clearly some of your men aren't up to the challenge."

Turning on my heels, I didn't bother to wait to hear what the man was going to say: Instead, I passed him and headed out of the circle towards where Thad once been sitting.

Hopefully, everyone now knew I was more than just some new girl.

I was hell, and they would remember me forever.
