MYSTERY THAT NEEDS TO BE UNRAVELED { BODY COUNT }I looked at the horror look in his eyes as I approached Aiden's dead body. " Call the ambulance!." I shouted looking at Xavier who ran back to my car to get his phone.The students all gathered to see what was going on. I looked around trying to catch a glimpse of Jonas or Zack. Aiden had died right on the spit Richard died. I wondered if he knew more than he was telling me. " You again?" I heard a familiar voice behind me and I looked back to see the officers once again " Looks like we have another suicide on our hands again," Max said aloud. " And you are at the scene of the crime once again," Pontius added as they looked at me in the face " Did you see what happened to him?" Max askedI shook my head and looked at Xavier " Did you?" "Of curse not, we were both together when this happened," Xavier replied looking at Aiden's corpse as he was moved into the ambulance I looked up and saw Jonas and Zack approaching us " Looks like

FAME OR POWER The blinding flashes of cameras continued as reporters bombarded me with questions. I shielded my eyes from the intrusive lights and tried to make sense of the chaos around me. Xavier immediately swung into action doing what I had paid him to do."Fredrick, how does it feel to be the new sensation in the fighting world?" one reporter shouted.I took a moment to collect my thoughts before responding, "Honestly, it's overwhelming. I never expected this level of attention."Another journalist pushed through the crowd, thrusting a microphone in my direction. "Are you ready to face Jonas in the finals? He's known as the best fighter in the school."I nodded, trying to exude confidence. "I'll give it everything I have. Jonas may be tough, but I've got my reasons to win."As the reporters continued their barrage of questions, Xavier stepped forward, acting as a buffer. "Alright, folks, give him some space. Fredrick needs time to process everything. There will be plenty of inte

THE SHOWDOWN { ROSETTA'S PAST } The noise coming out of the campus was enough to shake the whole city. I looked around to see many banners of my pictures and Jonas facing each other in the final rounds. Many reporters and well wishes were in the school. Mr Dickson's words played like a stereo continually in my ears. I feel agitated each time some of my fans come to me for an autograph or picture with them. It was too sudden for me. I sat down inside my former dorm and looked at my phone. I tried to access my gaming system but to no avail. I got scared " This is the time I need you." I said, tapping the screen It would have helped me try to train more with the help of the system. Jonas had been Xavier with ease Although I knew he was going to beat him, I still wish Xavier had won. Facing off with Jonas was going to be hard and I knew it. I heard a knock on my door and I ran to open it. Thomas had promised to come and train with me a little more before the finals. I looked at my wr

THE FINAL BATTLE I looked at Jonas as I walked into the fighting arena. I was a little nervous but I was confident than usual. The noise died down as the M.C. took his mic again. " The fight we have all been waiting for is here. Jonas the undefeated champion against Fredrick the challenger." I heard some of the crowd chanting Jonas's name. I looked among the crowd and saw how many there were. I tried finding Thomas in his seat but I couldn't I looked at the VIP seat and I saw Mr Dickson and some new faces. " Who the hell are these guys?" I said looking at their faces. I saw Rosetta was equally seated among them. I looked at Jonas and he smirked " I am getting her back to where she belongs. She doesn't belong to you and you know that. I won't only win but I am going to humiliate you." " Do you have a hand in the death of Aiden? And why did you kill his sister? Do you think you can really get was from all of this?" I asked looking at him with anger I noticed the more I was angry

CLOSE TO DEATH While holding Fiona, feeling her life slipping away, panic rushed through me. Blood gathered under her, tinting the arena ground red. Chaos broke out as onlookers screamed and hurried to find shelter. A lot of people were unwilling to lend an ear or offer assistance. Every man had to look out for themselves."We need to summon medical help with an ambulance!" I shouted once more, my voice filled with urgency. However, in the chaos, my words appeared to get lost in the noise of fear and confusion. The tension in the air was palpable. Rosetta crouched next to me, her eyes filled with surprise and dread. "Fred, what should we do?" she inquired, her voice shaking.I desperately looked for any indication of assistance, but the group had turned into a chaotic crowd, preventing any chance of help. I felt like time was moving at a snail's pace as I held onto Fiona, hoping she would hang on and keep fighting. I gazed at her facial expression and saw vitality leaving her being.
