"Cas! Cas! Cas!" The crowd was heard while I was walking through the tunnel to get inside the cage.
"You aren't allowed to smoke inside and you shouldn't smoke before the fight." Lorenzo walked by my left side with his cup of coffe in his hand.
"You didn't say 'Simon says'. " I winked at him before throwing my ciggarette inside his cup of coffe and he groaned stomping his feet.
"Not again Cas!" I stood in front of the cage while the speaker anounced my name and the crowd went even crazier on my name.
The guy I had to fight for the night had his own fans calling his name. I had seen him around before with his group while his friends fought but I never had the pleasure to break his face before. The adrenaline in my body was at it's peak. The voice inside my head kept yelling 'Punch, punch, punch'.
I stepped inside the cage and the beast inside of me was unleashed. Hit after punch after hit, I couldn't stop. This was the only way I had found to manage my anger since she left. She was the only fucking thing who knew how to tame my beast. When she left, the beast took over me and made me its pet. Damn it! Only thinking of her I got distracted and the motherfucker punched me on my jaw making me loose my balance and placing himself on top of me.
I growled in frustration ready to push him away from me but the motherfucker stopped, turned his head to the side and grinned at someone. I followed his eyes and for the first time after a fucking long time I felt my heart beating. I had forgotten I had an organ called 'heart'.
She was standing there, in the crowd, with that asshole that she throws pictures with on IG. He was talking very close to her face, I had the same shitty feeling as when I found out where she moved and saw her with him outsode their rented house. She came back, and she brought that asshole with her.
I punched the motherfucker on top of me , then I placed myself on top of him and punched him like crazy. I didn't even realized when he tapped on my shoulder giving up, they had to take me away from him by my arms.
I turned my head to the place where I saw her earlier, she was standing with widen eyes in horror and her hand over her mouth.
Welcome home, cotton princess! Let me introduce you to the beast you released.

"I told you I don't want to go back there, why did you drag me with you?!" I turned my back at Brandon, leaning against the window.
"I told you it's important. We will stop him from fighting, take him with us and leave. That's it, easy." Brandon's worried voice did nothing to make me less mad at him.
"You should stop using me as a third wheel so you can keep your anger on him longer." I turned to him with my pointing finger.
"I don't want to go soft on him and if we are alone he'll convince me." Brandon shrugged while driving and staring ahead.
"You're disgusting. Both of you." I made a disgusted face because I knew pretty well how Niko convinced him.
"You wouldn't be disgusted if you would get some." Brandon winked at me and I hit his arm with my hand.
"What? You can't even mention the word sex. "
"Stop it Brandon or I'll get out of the car right now and leave you deal with your boyfriend alone."
"Okay, okay!" He gave up and I pulled my feet under my legs .
Brandon pulled me by my wrist inside a crowdy and noisy building. There were a lot of people shouting and screaming like crazy. I was searching around the crowd for Niko when Brandon kicked a chair next to us.
"I'm going to kill him. He is inside that cage." I followed Brandon's eyes, but it was not Niko who stole my attention.
'Breathe! Breathe! Breathe!' I kept repeating in my head. I grabbed my trembling hand with the other one to stop my body from reacting the same everytime I saw him.
Brandon pulled me by my arm while I kept pulling my legs like a zombie. "Nikolas!" Brandon shouted his full name, he always did that when he was angry and Niko turned his attention to us grinning. Probably on the idea that Brandon brought me with him.
"He is here." I whispered gulping and grabbing each of my fingers to relax myself a bit.
"Yes I see him, I'm never forgiving him this time." Brandon was angry but my knees were giving up on me.
"Not him, Caspian is here." His name never left my lips for a long time.
"Where?" Brandon kept looking around.
"Inside the cage, fighting with Niko." I answered in a trembling voice. My body was giving up on me.
"Holy shit! My eyes see only Niko and red at this moment. Is that him? Well he looks more handsome than in the pictures and your drawings." I punched him with my elbow.
"That is not the point, we should leave before he sees me."
"He is killing Niko!" Brandon put his hand over his chest and I turned my head towards the cage.
Brandon ran towards the cage pushing people away and screaming. "Nicolas give up or I'll never forgive you!"
My eyes were glued to Caspian who was throwing punch after punch at Niko. I should have been terrified of him hurting Niko, but it terrified me most the idea of him seeing me. His body was more muscular and filled with ink. He had only two small tattoos last time I saw him. I had seen his new haircut and body through his pictures on IG, but closer that man was very gorgeous.
I blinked my eyes returning to reality and seeing how bad he was hurting Niko. When two men pulled him away by his arms he raised his head and I thought he saw me. I put my hand over my mouth in horror.
A girl with short hair and a cigarette in her mouth threw herself on his arms, her long legs around his waist. She passed him the ciggarette she had inside her mouth to his. I moved my hand over my chest trying to breathe before I ran following Niko and Brandon behind, towards a tunnel.
I prayed he didn't see me. Although a part of me wanted for him to see me. I didn't even have a jacket or a hoodie with me so I could throw it over my head and cover myself.
My mind was elsewhere while Brandon yelled at a bruised and bleeding Niko who was sitting down.
"You should have fucking listened to me and never accepted to fight him. There is a reason they say he never looses." Brandon showed his pointing finger and Niko just shrugged.
Caspian never looses? So he was the one who Brandon kept telling me on our way there, that Niko would fight a killing machine involved in the mafia. Was Caspian involved in the mafia?
"And you brought her with you as if you don't live together!" I caught only drops of the conversation.
"Her? Is it supposed to be me? Because I'm not helping you anymore when you come to me like a puppy asking for help, so Brandon can forgive you!" He rolled his eyes at me.
My body froze when I felt a hot presence behind me.
