Madness

Adea

My breath caught in my throat as the field broke out in madness. There was a blur of movement and I watched with wide eyes as the participants threw themselves at each other.

I watched as the participant who asked Ethan the question about the competition finishing on time grabbed one of the other participants by the face and threw him to the ground before kicking the fallen participant on the ribs repeatedly.

He didn’t stop until his opponent shouted in defeat. Blood oozed from his mouth and dripped down his chin. He showed no mercy as he made his way through three more opponents the same way.

He was vicious and showed no hint of remorse as he left a trail of people holding their sides. They slowly made their way for the sidelines and I worried the same opponent would cross paths with Gabe.
