Marianne pov contd.
She was not satisfied with the result and moved again but this time I was the one who rolled on the ground and moved to the other side. Her dagger landed on my dress and for the first time I hated that I was in a gown, while the opponent was in pants.
I kept rolling and the pressures created a ripping sound and I didn't need to turn back to look that my gown was torn.
I moved and stood up only to see that my gown was only reaching up to my knees with a few cuts above too, creating a slit. I felt embarrassed as my legs could be seen but her attack did not let the feeling stay for long. As I moved too to see who would attack first. Our arms locked as her dagger ended in front of my right eyes and my dagger touched the part under her arms.
She tried to bend her knee to hurt me but I put my heels with full pressure on her other leg first.
'Ah, I love my heels, that was the weapon that has always helped me win a fight.' she winced and her eyes closed, her pressure on the hand loosened and i turned back and flipped to hit her straight at the gut. She moved but it was late, her stomach got a long cut though not the deep one as she moved on time.
"You are going to die from my hand bitch" she snarled again but I have to concentrate more on other things.
The pain from the collarbone was increasing and my hands were almost trembling, making it difficult to hold the dagger steadily.
She smirked as she knew she had chosen the right place to attack.
I looked at her, her triceps and leg were hurt, so as her guts, if I wanted to win, I had to attack at any of these places to make her lose.
We both moved back and created some distance for the next attack.
I held the dagger in my left hand this time. When my eyes fell on the ground. The mud was wet due to the river water. And it would be impossible to use it. Then I looked around for something to use when my eyes fell on my torn gown.
I took a sigh of relief as the plan formed in my mind.
"You bitch.. Shouting like crazies all the time. Have you ever seen your face in the river, because I am sure you do not have the ability to own even a mirror?!"
"What did you say? She roared and I smirked.
"Why! Do not tell me you are afraid to see your face? Have you ever thought how tormented we would be by looking at you? You are such an ugly girl, your face could be used to scare the kids.'' I kept speaking loudly all the curses I knew and kept flaring at her further.
While I continued to move towards the torn cloth with slow steps. She kept taking the step backwards as we continued moving in a circle, trying to find a perfect chance. And when she was at the brim filled with anger, i closed my eyes and winced, my legs wobbled and i fell.
She smirked thinking it was her chance and moved towards me,
This time she moved fast as if she was going to kill me with her attack and my hands held the cloth tightly in both ends, this was a chance of life and death for me, when she was close enough and going to attack my neck again,
I moved and held her both legs with the cloth and flipped it. The pain that I felt was unbearable and I was sure my hand would break with the crackling sound.
But she flew in the air and fell with a strong thump on her back.
"Aahhh" I heard her scream as she held her hand and this was my last chance. I held the dagger tightly in my left hand and used all the left force to stab her wound in the gut again. And used my elbow then to held her smack there,
Though she was more powerful, Jamie had taught me the way to lock the neck in a way that could not be loosened easily. She moved and held the dagger but then did not take it out, she must have known its impact.
So instead she twisted and turned to get my grip loose on her but it was not effective.
"Accept defeat" I shouted as I knew I would not be able to hold her for long, this was my last chance since I did not have the weapon anymore.
"Never" she shouted as she moved her legs to backflip.
"Then die." I shouted and pressed her neck. But her expression did not change.
'Was she even a human! Her skin was harder than animals.'
"I said, accept defeat '' I roared but she just smirked knowing my intentions.
She moved again and finally hit my right hand with her dagger and my grip loosen. I fell backwards to save myself. I could not even feel the pain anymore as my hand turned completely limp.
She stood up from the ground but winced too as her movements brought out another stream of blood from her gut.
"You are the one that was going to accept defeat or die" she announced and i could not agree with her more. Her whole stomach was slashed the dagger was still in her stomach and there were many other injuries on her body, yet she was standing there. And I was on the ground with only one hand.
Suddenly I felt admiration for her. Though her mouth was foul, she had immense courage.
I tried to stand up using my left hand but I did not have the dagger anymore.
I Bluffed a kick from the side. I made it look like I was going to kick her in the shin. But when she came close, Instead, I delivered a strong punch to her face.
"The fight is over" we both heard the sound and our faces filled with bewilderment. But when we looked there my eyes widened and I couldn't believe it.
"How in the name of god!"
