El Diablo

As I continue to sob in my bed, I heard the door open and knew who it was, but I didn't react and continued to lay on the bed. Soon I felt someone sitting next to me, at the same time a hand is on my head stroking it to calm me down.

"What's wrong Fritz? I turn around and see Olivia frowning and was worried about me. I rubbed my eyes and sat up so both of us could be at the same level. "Nothing *sniff* Its nothing, I'm fine."

Olivia shakes her head in denial, knowing that I am lying. "Fritz don't lie to me, something is bothering you and I wont let you leave until you tell me." She then wraps her arms and legs around me and we both fall onto the bed. I start to struggle and try to escape Olivia hug but to no avail she was hugging me to tight. "Olivia please let me go, I'm fine."

She then tightens her grip letting me know that she doesn't believe me. 'I have to tell someone sooner or later.' I then hug her back and opened my mouth. "This all started when my sister was ill. The Docters told me that she had a tumor, it wasn't serious at the time but it wasn't cheep."

I then closed my eyes and took a deep breath to calm myself and continued to tell the story. "During my struggle to work, I overheard a conversation of an underground ring. The prize money was enough to pay for the surgery, so I asked where I could find it and they pitied me when I told them why I needed the money. They trained me and taught me how to fight..."

I shuddered when I started to talk about what came next. "As I did my first match, I was being pushed back and was scared for my life, I was taking punch after punch after punch, I was suffering through that hell and wanted to quit. But the only thing that kept me going was my sister, she was the only person who I didn't want to lose, so I snapped. What happened next was a blur."

I then hugged Olivia and more tears fell. "After I regained my sanity, the man in front of me had all his bones broken his face covered in blood beyond recognition and his ribs where exposed, his innards wrapped around his neck and his eyes gauged out. When I looked at my arms, they where covered in blood so much blood. and when I looked up I saw the crowd cheering. They all chanted a name over and over."

My back then started to hurt I made Olivia remove her arms and took of my shirt and showed her my back. She gasped in shock and soon showed fear in her eyes. "H-h-how, w-w-why?" On my back was a tattoo of a demon.

"They called me El Diablo, my face looked like a demon when I fought so I added this tattoo to my back."

I then put my shirt back on and sat next to Olivia and she wrapped her arms around me and stroked my head again, "I didn't know you went through all of that, I'm sorry I shouldn't have forced you." I shake my head and hugged her again. "Its fine, I had to tell this to someone eventually."

I then stood up and stretched for a bit, since Olivia was watching me with worry in her eyes and she thought on what she could do to cheer me up. But what she didn't know is that I was numb and that memory, it only reminded me of the people I hated, and I used that underground pit to release all my stress and hatred on them. I didn't care if they were small time criminals or psychopaths. I killed them all and I didn't have any regrets. But there was one person who I couldn't hate, it disgusted me to still have feelings for her to this very day.

"Lets go back to the bridge." Olivia didn't say anything, she stood up and followed me to the bridge

As we both made our way to the bridge I saw Mai on the ceiling staring at me with worry. I signaled her to come down, she hesitated at first but after a few minutes she launched herself towards me. She then wrapped her arms around me and started to sniff me. After a few minutes she calmed down and finally raised her head and kissed me on the lips, though it was a peck, she was smiling with tears in her eyes.

"Are you feeling better fritz?" I nodded my head and caressed her back with a smile on my face. "I'm fine c'mon lets go to the bridge and see if we can fire the BFG again.

"Okay." She smiles and kept her arms wrapped around me, at the same time she used one of her robotic arms to lift me and Olivia and started to make her way to the bridge. It felt better to walk and it was fun to be high up, though halfway Linda was scolding me to not be like Mai and have robotic arms and be lazy.

I just laughed and continued to make my way to the bridge, by foot that is.
