The Alpha's a Girl!?!, Rose Cooper [books to read for 13 year olds .txt] 📗

put two more knives on the belt. Then I put one in my right shoe, just in case. After that I took another sheath and put one on both wrists, then filled each with five throwing knives. Then I put a black metal pocket staff in the other shoe. After that I took three grenades and stuck them on the belt, then I put 6 smoke grenades and distributed them amongst the leg bags. I took two super powerful grenades and put one attached to the outside of each shoe. I also tied a dagger to the back of both of my heels. 

 

Just as I finished a bell rang and a door opened. As I made my way to the door, I took one of the black headbands I saw and tied it on my head to hold up my curled hair. Why did they do my makeup? It was so unnecessary. I walked through the door down the hall until I saw another room. It had benches and the front wall was actually metal bars. On the other side of the bars, was the arena. All over the arena’s sides were more doors like this. Each one a different size. Damn, how long was this going to take?

 

I sat at the bench and listened to the arena. I tried to use my senses and I managed to find the presence of Nathan, Sam, Tom, Jason, and Lucas as well as the ‘king’. Once I found all of them I listened to what was being said by the ‘king’. “Hello my fellow Rogues! As you know a brave team of men found a woman and brought her to me. After many conversations I began to fall for her. Everyone here knows that the better a fighter you are the more worthy you are. So she’s coming here today before you all to show you her strength! Here she is folks!” The metal bars opened and I stepped out into the arena. I immediately noticed just how large this underground fighting place was. I found Lucas immediately and looked into his eyes as the crowd cheered for me.

 

Lucas and the others were all in a metal cage seated behind and above the ‘kings’ throne. I smiled up at them and nodded. “Each round she will be faced with an opponent that she must kill. The faster the kill the more points she gets. The less skill she uses or the more time she takes the less points. Her points will be kept track of on the leaderboard! If she can’t beat an opponent, the guards will restrain the opponent and points will be taken away.” I glared and the ‘king’ as music started to play in the arena. Of course they would play fucking music. “Let the game begin!” The first door opened and I turned to look at my first opponent.

The song Run For Your Life by K. Flay turned on and I groaned. The first door opened and V turned to look at her first opponent. She got in a ready stance as a huge lion stepped out of the doorway. She stepped back as it walked towards her. It circled her as she got down into a crouch. She threw two knives at it, hitting it right in the eye and the neck. It let out a growl and ran  towards her. She ran towards the lion, just as it lunged at her she slid under it and stabbed it with a knife dragging it across its stomach. The lion let out a show and slumped to the ground, defeated. 50 points were added to the scoreboard and V pulled her three knives out, whipped them and put them back. Two guards ran in and pulled the lion's body into a room with a huge black door, and then it closed. 

 

Another door opened and out came hundreds of snakes. Rattlesnakes, black mambas, tiger snakes, king cobras, inland taipans, and even saw-scaled vipers. V ran away from the snakes right up to the arena wall. She then started putting her hands in the cracks of the wall and climbing upwards. She was about 10 feet up the way when the snakes arrived. She took out a grenade and let it drop in the den of snakes. As the grenade went off snake parts flew everywhere. V climbed across the wall and then back to the ground so she was about 12 feet away from the dead snakes. There was still one snake left, a really huge and fast fucking snake. It slithered toward V and lunged with it’s mouth open. V quickly pulled out a knife and threw it at the snake. The knife went into the snake's mouth stabbing its insides and flying out the other end. “Holy shit.” Tom was in awe.

 

V crouched down to catch her breath while the crowd cheered. The scoreboard went up to 105. The third door opened and V turned toward it. Out came a rhino. The song changed to The Rage by Kid Cudi. The rhino saw her and ran like it was possessed right for her. She started to run away and I started to get confused. The rhino was a foot behind her and about to hit her when she jumped up into a backflip landing on its neck, barely missing its horn. Once she was on top she grabbed on and started to fumble around. She pulled out a gun and shot right down into its head. It let out a whine and kept running. It stopped running and started to jump up and down and shake its neck. V shot it two more times and it was still shaking. It’s skull was thick and she wasn’t making much progress. She sat up and slapped it but it was really hard. As the rhino started to run again she jumped off and rolled across the ground. The rhino was all the way across the arina and turned around facing V, staring right at her. She pulled something out of her shoe and it turned into a metal staff. “Shit shit” Sam started to freak out as the Rhino ran for her. The king was about to call the guards when V shouted, “I’ve got it! I’m not losing any points.” The ing stopped and smiled. I hate that smile so much. The rhino kept running as V took off her head band. She grabbed a big knife, a dagger maybe, and using the head band she tied the knife to the end of the staff. The Rhino ran at her and she stood right there waiting for it. It was a feed away now and she pulled the staff out in front of her, lunging forward pushing it up and into its neck right above its collar bone. It let out a roar of pain and kept running and V ran away toward the wall. The staff was sticking out in front of it. Just as it was about to get her, she jumped out of the way as the rhino ran right into the wall, pushing the staff farther into itself. It dropped to the ground dead and V walked over to it, pulling out the staff. She put the staff and knife back and tied the head band back in her hair despite all the blood. 

 

The crowd went crazy as the score changed from 105 to 180. The black door opened and a few men pulled the rhino into the black room with the dead lion. Once the arena was closed another door opened and V turned. Out came a pack of 4 spotted hyenas. V started to laugh and pulled out two grenades. She threw them at the hyenas as they headed toward her. Apparently hyenas like to play fetch, because they caught the grenade with their mouths right before they exploded. One of the four was still alive and V took out her gun and shot it in the eye from where she stood. The king seemed a little disappointed, “didn’t want to play with these ones?” She shouted back to him “I’ve fought hyenas, and I don’t particularly like them, I’d have to be stupid to fight them up close. There isn’t just one or two, and they work in a pack. I’d have been dead within minutes.” He seemed to accept that answer and nodded. 

 

The score went to 220 and the hyenas were taken away. “Now everyone. We move onto the supernatural round!” Everyone got even louder and I started to get scared for her. Another door opened and out came a man. “That’s a vampire.” The four of us turned to Nathan. “How can you tell?” “His skin is pretty light, and you can tell by the way he carries himself.” We all turned back to the arena and watched as V thought out her next plan. The vampire stalked towards her, like an animal playing with it’s food. V watched him carefully and pulled out two knives. She held tightly as the man charged at her. He moved so fast he was like a blur. Somehow V could see all of his moves before he made them and avoided them with ease. She ducked and spun avoiding every punch and kicked him in the balls. He made a face as he punched him on the nose. She went to punch him again but he caught her fist. He quickly stood up and spun her into his arms, with his mouth around her neck he bit her. He was drinking her blood and the king called to his guards. You could see the electricity from the collar on his neck, but he kept biting. “No no no this is not good he’s going to kill her, no no” I heard the king whisper the same thing I was thinking. “Come one V!” I screamed. Please please please don’t die. Shit! I can’t lose her. The vampire was still getting shocked but kept going as V turned a little pale. She tightened her right hand around the knife and reached up, stabbing the vampire right in the neck. He let out a scream as she pushed him off. Before he could pull the knife out she pushed him to the ground and sat on top of him. She took another knife and put it in his neck on the other side. Holding both knives she twisted around and up. After a terrible tearing sound the vampires head fell to the ground with blood going everywhere, while V held onto those two knives like it was all that kept her to her life. I guess in a way it was. I let out a heavy sigh once he was dead. “I really thought I lost her.” I whispered. Jason patted my shoulder, “she’s tougher than all of us, don’t worry.” I nodded and looked at the king. There was a single tear in his eye but he was smiling. The scoreboard bumped up to 300.

 

The crowd was screaming her name as she smiled and panted heavily. “This is the last round, if you can get 400 points you win. In this round it is suggested that you turn
