Scorpion lasts two jabs and a hook-then he falls splat on his face. Remington swings out and punches with that same unnatural force that his crowd loves, and they immediately scream in approval as we watch all his muscles tighten and clench as he works them. Remy shoves him away and takes position again, raising up his guard in a way that clearly says, All right, asshole, then we’ll just keep fighting and see who wears out first. He whispers something to Scorpion, and in answer, Scorpion spits red blood on the ground. When he finds me, he doesn’t take his eyes off mine as he grabs Scorpion by the hair and yanks him up to his feet as he shows him Nora next to me. A bellow of excitement erupts among the crowd, and Remy wipes the back of his arm across his brow and seeks me out among the spectators. “One of them has to stop now!” Nora whispers under her breath.Īnd then, Remington delivers a rapid, strong one-two punch that instantly drops Scorpion to his knees. Remy is caked with blood, both Scorpion’s and his own, and although Scorpion can barely stand straight, he angrily charges with his shoulders, trying to butt Remington with his head. Scorpion has thrown out a couple of kicks, and they’re back at center.
“Brooke,” Nora sniffles, “they’re going to kill each other!”Ī burning ball of fear gathers in my throat as we both watch the fight in mounting dread. Scorpion struggles and rams a knee into Remy’s gut. My stomach knots as the fight gets even more vicious and Remy corners Scorpion on the pole and slams his head from side to side, attacking him like he would his speed ball. “AAAAAA!” the public gasps as Scorpion’s elbow breaks and his arm dangles limply from the middle down. His lips move as he mumbles something into Scorpion’s ear, and right when Scorpion lets out a sneering laugh, a loud crack fills the arena. Panting for breath but unstoppable, Remington grabs him by the neck and jerks him around to face the empty space where Nora’s chair sits empty. Scorpion’s nearly black blood is splattered across the canvas floor, and although he’s stumbling, he refuses to fall. “Just hold my hand while I watch my guy take this.”Īs if he’s listening to me, Remington continues terminating Scorpion up there. Sucking in a breath and leaning over to her so Pete doesn’t hear, I nod. I focus all my attention on my sister when another contraction takes hold, and Nora slowly slides her hand over my stomach.
