Once more, she looked up just as Abe crossed into the safe zone. Selene felt a wave of relief before the pain in her back as Fiona kicked her.
“Pay attention!” Fiona shouted as she charged at her with her club.
Fiona raised her hand high, bringing it down toward her goal. Selene closed her eyes, preparing for the blow, but to her surprise, it never came.
“Go!” she heard a voice she slightly recognized shout.
Selene opened her eyes to see a young woman, short with brown hair, using her body as a shield against the brunt of Fiona’s onslaught.
“Go! Win the game!” the girl shouted once again.
“Hurry!” shouted another girl. She looked similar to the first.
That was when Selene recognized them as the potential siblings from the lobby.
“We can’t hold her long!” the second girl said.
Selene nodded and pulled herself up off the ground. She turned and started running toward the safe zone. She didn’t know why they were helping her. Maybe they were just sick of the game. But whatever their reason, she was happy to finally finish this torture.
She was only ten feet away when she heard it, the pained cry of the second woman.
Selene turned back. One of the women was curled up on the ground. At the same time, the other shielded her as Fiona continued to beat them mercilessly.
Selene growled.
Fiona drew back on the staff, preparing to hit the small woman on the head to knock her out. When she was pulled back with force. Fiona hit the ground and lost her hold on the staff.
Selene was on top of her in an instant.
She was able to pin Fiona’s arms back. She knew she wouldn’t be able to hold her for long, but it might just be enough.
“Go!” she shouted, “Hurry! Get up the hill! Take her to the medic!”
The two wolves looked at Selene with confused eyes.
“Hurry! I can’t hold her long!”
They scrambled to their feet and turned to hurry up the hill.
Fiona broke Selene’s hold, tossing her to the side. Fiona grabbed one of Selene’s fallen karambits, throwing it at the fleeing wolves. Selene moved faster, knocking the karambit off its trajectory and sending it into the bushes.
She let out a soft cry as the blade sliced her palm.
“You should have taken the opportunity they gave you to get away while you could. What a waste!” Fiona shouted as she readied her club and charged at Selene.
“What’s the point of getting myself to safety if I’m leaving my pack behind!?” Selene shouted back, preparing herself to defend.
Fiona smiled and increased her attack, coming at Selene with a strength she hadn’t shown before. She brought her weapon down against Selene’s body, hitting the places she already knew were bruised and injured.
Selene was pressured down to her knee. She glanced back; the others were almost there. Just a few more feet, and they would be inside the safe zone and away from danger.
Fiona caught her glance. She growled and shifted, shoving Selene down against the dirt as she did so.
She charged at the two women at the border of the safe zone. Shoving her head between them, she separated them. One fell to the ground, while the other stumbled but made it inside the safe area.
Fiona turned her body to stand between the remaining woman and the safe zone.
“Go!” Selene shouted as she ran towards Fiona. She shifted midair and caught Fiona on the leg. She dragged her back and then tossed her down the hill. It wasn’t far, but it was enough for Selene to take a new defensive position.
Fiona snarled and dove at Selene’s leg, biting her aggressively. Selene let out a whimper but held her ground.
The woman that stood at the border of the safe zone watched carefully. Selene kept her position, no matter how many times Fiona bit or dove at her. She held strong. Keeping her own body between Fiona and the woman.
The woman took a shaky step forward and shifted into her wolf. She howled as loud and as strong as she could.
Selene was focused on keeping Fiona locked in place, she didn’t hear the howl, and she didn’t hear the ones that followed..
Fiona dove at her, catching her shoulder with powerful jaws. Selene felt the crunch of her bones.
She let out a pained whimper as she fell to the ground, shifting back into her human form. Fiona stood over her. Selene felt woozy from the blood loss and tired from the fight.
Fiona stared down at her; she wiped the blood from her mouth as she took deep breaths.
She got down on her knees, placing one on either side of Selene, preventing her from moving. Fiona put her hand over Selene’s throat, applying just enough pressure to make the black seeping into Selene’s vision move slightly faster.
“Do you yiel–”
Fiona’s words were interrupted by a wolf tackling her to the dirt.
Selene had no chance to react before she felt herself being dragged backward, her head rolled to the side, and she saw a tan wolf had grabbed the collar of her shirt and was pulling her in the direction of the safe zone. It was the wolf that had first let her and Abe walk past without concern.
Selene managed to lift her head enough to look back to where Fiona had been.
She watched in shock as at least six different wolves were jumping at Fiona, biting and clawing.
The wolf tugged at her collar; her vision was fading, but she saw the green light surrounding her as she was dragged into the safe zone.
When Selene woke, she was in a hospital bed.
“She’s waking up,” came the familiar voice of Galen.
He appeared before her with a soft smile.
“Welcome back,” he said.
“Hey…” Selene replied softly, still feeling groggy. “What happened?”
“Well, from what I understand,” he said. “You won.”
He smiled and pulled a small item from his pocket. Pulling on it made a loud popping sound, sending paper and glitter flying over Selene’s blanket.
She turned and looked up at him. He looked back with a slight blush on his cheeks.
“Bell said you would enjoy that….”
Selene chuckled.
“I might have if I was a little more awake,” she smiled.
Galen nodded.
“Wait, so I won the game?” Selene asked.
“Yes,” came another voice. “You did.”
Selene lifted her head to see Fiona sitting in a chair across the room.”
“Fiona?”
“Why are you surprised?” Fiona asked. “I am Luna, I was running your game, and I will be your mother-in-law soon enough. So why wouldn’t I be at your bedside when you are in the hospital, especially when Alexander isn’t here.”
“I guess that is true,” Selene said.
“The doctor said you’ll be fine,” Galen said. “No simulators for a few weeks, though. Your shoulder got roughed up pretty badly.”
Galen looked back at Fiona.
“I play to win,” she shrugged.
“What about the others?” Selene asked, remembering Abe and the two women that had helped her.
“There were no other serious injuries,” Galen replied. “Everyone else was seen to by the medics on site.”
Selene nodded. Then looked at Fiona.
“Did I really win?” she asked.
