Running again

Standing in the middle of the hallway waiting to be called I felt watched. Hands shaking I took a deep breath reminding myself why I did this. "Next up will be the bone crusher against Wolf shadow!" Hearing the announcer call my name I walked up to the curten rolling my shoulders back I open it and step onto the fighting ring there waiting on the other side was the man they called the bone crusher. I scoffed and rolled my eyes at the sight of him by my estimate he was six foot and was pretty rip but he didn't scare me. I planned to kick his ass! "Ohohoho! So the wolf shadow is a girl! Wow I am extremely disappointed I thought I was going to get a challenge since there's so much talk about how good you are!" He laughed and his fans laughed also. Well let them laugh but when they lose their money they'll think twice next time. Cracking my knuckles I start circling him. He does the same but quickly breaks the formation and goes to punch me in the face. Predicting this attack I dodge slipping behind him I go to kick him as he turns around my boot connects with his face. Hearing a disgusting crack I bring my foot down and quickly start punching him in the stomach and face. He desperately tries to block but he fails miserably. Making my final move I trip him again and then slam his head into the floor. I put my foot on his head not wanting to do serious damage I don't put pressure on it. The coach comes up and announces me the winner. The crowds start cheering and I wave and leave going to confront my employer. Walking down the hallway three men block my way trying to control my temper I take a deep breath. "Move" I say as I look them in the eyes. "And why should we!? You made us lose valuable money?" The middle one in the stepped closer. "You chose the wrong person to bet on. Not my fault." Pushing past them I rolled my eyes again. Then one of them grabbed my arm and slammed me into the wall. "Wanna say that again bitch?" "Your breath stinks so get out of my face" my voice emotionless. Without warning he goes to hit me. Catching his hand I twist it out of socket. He screams and the other to go after me but before they can make a move a shadow moves so fast and slams them on the wall. "Touch her again and I will hunt you down and kill you." The shadow growls. The men fear struck nod and the shadow let's them go. They run away like the cowards they are and and I watch after them with anger chasing after them. "I had that handled" I said crossing my arms and leaning on the wall. "You may have but it would have taken you time to get rid of them and I need to talk to you now." The shadow said taking off the hood it wore. Light shining on its face revealed that he was a man and he looked like someone's grandpa. Scoffing I looked at him and asked, "and you are?" "My name is Sam" the man held out his hand to shake mine. Ignoring it I looked him up and down trying to figure him out. "So Sam what do you want with me?" Asking I push off the wall and continue my way to Daniel's office. "I was wondering if you would consider going on a little trip to Canada with me." "Pffft like that's going to happen." I turn around "who do you think I am some naïve little girl?" Sarcasm dripped with every syllable. "Look there is something I want to show you and if you could just listen-" "No! You listen! I am not going to go with some stranger to Canada for crying out loud on some mysterious field trip! Now thanks for the help with those thugs but I don't owe you anything now stay away from me or you will make me do something I will regret later!" With that I turn on my heel and walk into Daniel's office. Dammit I let my temper slip again. "Ah the winner has made an appearance!" Daniel said standing up. "I'm just here for my cut." I said plainly. "Ah yes, yes of course." He opened up the drawer and grabbed out my cut of the money. Taking it I count out the money making sure I got everything. "Thanks, and I'm not fighting for a week am I clear." My voice hard as stone I stare up at him. "You got it!" He said putting his hands up. I nodded and walked out to my truck. Getting in I stuff the money in my jacket pocket and start heading home. Took me about fifteen minutes to get to the storage building and make sure nobody saw my truck. Walking in I set the money on the table and go into the other room to change. "I'm back" I yelled from the bathroom. Walking out in a black hoodie and black leggings I head to the boy's room. "I'm back"I said with a wave. Both boys bolt up and run towards me. I squat down and open my arms and give them a big hug. "I'm glad you're back!" Ryjel whispered in my ear. "Me too. But we have to leave tonight. I heard a man talking and saying they were going to clean the storage building out starting tomorrow." I said pushing them back enough so I could see their faces. Reilly's face fell and he looked really sad. I didn't know how to keep this up. I was trying to keep us hidden from to people and fighting illegally to keep us alive and on top of that we had to move every two or three months. Ryjel looked at me with sad eyes and nodded. "I think we'll go to Montana this time. Or we could go to Canada I mean the police aren't looking there, right?" I said trying to make them happy again. "Let's go to Can-Can-Canada." Reilly said. "What do you think Ryjel? Should we go to Canada?" He nodded. "Okay, Canada it is!" I patted their backs and started packing. It didn't take long since we barely had anything. I buckled the twins in their booster seats and hopped into the driver seat. Erasing all evidence that we were there we set off to Canada.
