The Sins of Anna-Chapter 66 All Fun and Games Till.... 24.2

"Hey Anna, is it just me or have you been slacking on your practice my sweet, not good to sit behind a desk all day." Ren calls out smirking at me stupidly as his eye gesture to my body. I take the bait look down, only long enough for him to get close, soon as the smell of his cologne is in nose range I drop down sweeping at his feet causing him to jump back. That would have been way to easy if he had fallen like that.

"What's wrong Ren you seem to be slowing down what happened to the demon with freak speed." I mock back at him, a smirk appears across his face, in five months I almost forgot how much fun this was. Sparing with Jack was so different then sparing with Ren. Jack was careful. He treated me like I was fragile. I know he never once went all out. I always felt so depressed afterward because I was never taken seriously.

"Don't worry Anna honey the demons still here I'm just making sure you where all good and warmed up, didn't want this to be an easy win. The sounds of the crowd Oooohing and laughing at the insult can be heard. I launch forward, but even if it's been a while my body still remembers Ren. I remember his moves, remember his style. At last second I side step just as he does. Blocking with one hand than being grappled by the other, I just barely avoid him getting the upper hand. I feel like I've done this so many times. He is still fast though and I'm starting to realize I was still jet legged. I push away again. He goes for a grapple again, side stepping to get some ground for a breath however; when one of my arms is grabbed and I feel my body shift and the heaviness take over. Shit I'm going to hit the ground and won't be able to cushion the impact. I wait for pain, the feel of the cold hard ground. The smell of dirt and grass. It never comes; instead I hear a groan. I look up bracing myself up on my arms and find Ren under me. Why? Why is he protecting me? I almost want to punch him. In fact without thinking I stand and slap him across the face the sound echos in the quiet practice field as everyone watches. My hands are shaking

"Don't Start getting the wrong idea here, as much as I want to win I just didn't want to see you hurt. I felt the change in the movement, you cant spare like this." Ren spits out blood. I stare shocked, why was he bleeding I didn't hit him that hard I tell myself. Making fists at my side I glare down at him.

"No time for breaks, it's what you always said, no matter how hurt or tired you are, right? An enemy wouldn't be so kind so don't be kind to me now. If I'm not worth that much than I'm going to go stay with Jack until my business is done here." I shout at him. His face becomes dark at my last statement and I'm consumed by the now frightfully malevolent presence that has appeared from Ren. I have to squeeze my fists tighter to try and avoid shaking. I have done it that was for sure, I had pissed him off. I clench my fist and raise them at Ren. Ren stands glaring down at me seriousness in his eye, the demon of the man now see's me.

He lunges fast and hard as I step back he nearly grapples his hand tightly around my neck, I couldn't help thinking this bastard now meant to kill me. He moved inhumanely fast grabbing at me I could only protect myself by breaking each grapple as he came at me. Suddenly his pattern changed and his foot hit dead center of my chest. I was thrown backwards from the force. My head and back screaming in painful shocks from hitting the ground hard. I cough and groan as I try to sit up. Damn that hurt. I feel a hand on my arm. I turn to see Jack, a worried look in his eyes. I pat his hands to reassure him and tell him to stand back. When I stand Ren is glaring at me, no not me but to the side on me. To Jack who is still standing close. Without a word he turns and walks off, "Do what you want, sleep with that pathetic excuse of a man for all I care." He storms off, ignoring me calling after him. Maliki sighs walking up to me "I will get your things the room where you stayed when Brittany was here is still vacant you can head there." He walks off without another word. Holding my breath I turn the opposite direction from Rens room and head to the other guest housing. Leaving everyone without a world I get as far away as I can to escape the whispers. This is what I wanted right? Soon as I'm completely alone I feel the weight on me, my head hangs, shoulders dropped and I want to cry. What had I done. I was so angry feeling unworthy again I shouted something I hadn't meant at all.

****

slamming the glass door closed behind me, I feel the rage build in me. What fucking bullshit. I go to the bathroom learning down into the sink as I splash water into my face. I look up into the mirror. I was pissed, more pissed than I had ever been with her. How could that ungrateful bitch betray me like this. Comes here to use my hospitality and all the while instead of thinking of me like I have her, shes been fucking another man. Images of the man standing next to her flash before me in the mirror. I punch it shattering it; my knuckles bleeding but I don't care. I run my hands through my hair pulling it when I hear the glass door open gently. You got to be fucking kidding me. If shes going to come crawling back begging for forgiveness. I storm out ready to teach her a fucking lesson and throw here out on her ass; however what I see is Maliki sighing bending down to grab her bags. He turns looking at me, I can see he wants to say something and this fucker has never held back before speaking his mind.

"If you got something to say then just, fucking say it." I bark annoyed at the look he's giving me.

"You're one of the biggest god damn idiots I have ever met." He says sighing as he lifts up her bags and heads out the front double door into the hall. Slamming the door making it echo in my room reminding me once again I'm alone. Uneasy about how vague his comment was I turn and storm off to stare out the window into the blackness. Damn it all to hell if I really think about it shes probably playing me and that pathetic man why else would she be going to an arrange marriage proposal meeting at the panthers manor. Shes a snake just like her father it seems, only now my eyes are open. My stomach turns in knots of uneasiness, as my thoughts are filled with a rage I had never experienced before.
