In other areas of the stadium the reaction to the announcement was different. Darien knew the song Alora had picked out the moment he heard the opening chords. Love the way you hate me, I Like A Storm. Before Darien could make a comment about her song choice be froze, as Alora’s Alpha aura washed over him. It felt so strong, a lot stronger than his own.
There was a deadly edge to Alora’s aura, it warned those within its path not to cross her. As Alora stood up, she allowed her hoodie to fall away from her and slipped off her sandals, leaving them behind with her hoodie. Power sang through Alona’s veins and radiated outward from her body.
Looking every inch like a dignified and powerful Alpha, Alora started her descent to the bottom row of the stadium seating. As she passed each row of fighters, they all had the same reaction when her Alpha’s aura washed over them. They tilted their heads and bared their necks in submission.
Sarah had already run down and was in the arena standing there, she turned to face Alora. Waiting impatiently for Alora to get into the arena for the beating Sarah had planned for her Sarah watched as Alora made her way to her, too slowly in her opinion,
Sarah became even more infuriated, when she noticed the reaction the other students were having to Alora’s presence as she passed them.
Alpha Andrew and Luna Ember had been waiting for the challenge between Alara and Sarah. They knew Alora was not going to let Sarah win against her and were looking forward to Alora asserting herself against one of her abusers. Ember already had her video camera out and was recording it all.
Ember noticed it when it happened as Alora passed the Delta Class fighters. With a surprised expression she looked up at her mate wide eyed. Andrew had also caught the reactions the students had to Alora as she passed by them and was just as surprised as his mate.
“She’s finally letting out her Alpha’s aura.” Ember said her words coming out breathy with her surprise and joy.
“Yes, and it is quite strong judging from the reaction of those students.” Andrew said, his voice held a faint note of pride Ember could feel through their bond.
That was also when Ember noticed the lyrics of the song that was playing over the sound system. “Oh my. This song is most definitely a message, and if Sarah were smart, she would listen to it.”
Andrew looked down at his mate in confusion for a moment, then some of the lyrics of the song caught his attention and he understood what his mate meant. “I do not think Sarah would listen to that message even if she did know what it meant.” Andrew told his mate after he thought about it for a moment.
Leaning into her mate Ember looked back in time to watch Alura vault over the railing of the bottom row of the stadium seating.
Alora landed in a graceful crouch then stood up smoothly. Making her way to the fighter’s platform in the middle of the arena in long powerful strides.
I took Darien until Alora passed by the Delta Fighter Class row for him to take his phone out and start recording. Darien knew if he missed getting this fight on camera his brother would kill him. He was glad he started his recording when he did as he was able to capture Alora’s vault into the Arena.
“Am I the only one freaking out about how strong Alora’s Alphas aura is?” Mason asked, his voice had a high pitched note to it.
Darien turned his head to look at the others of their class as they shook their heads. Their expressions varying from shocked admiration to silently freaking out. If Damien were here, he would either be laughing at them all or looking at them with a smug, I knew it all along, expression.
Darien stood up to get a better angle with his phone, then he smacked himself as he remembered he had a video camera in his bag. He almost stopped his video to grab it and continue with it, but he glanced up at the row his parents were in and caught sight of his mother using her video camera.
Darien decided to keep recording with his phone, he could send this one to his brother right after it was done. Darien would get a ropy of the video his mom was catching and send it to Damien in an email later tonight.
Only a minute and a half into Alora’s five minute song choice and she was now standing in front of Sarah, towering over her.
Sarah looked at Alora with a twisted expression, her insanity and fury came from her in waves.
There was a scent to Sarah’s insanity, one Alora could only describe as a sickly-sweet smell. Just underneath that scent there was another. This other scent seemed wrong to Alora, it was like something inside Sarah was rotting.
Xena did not like the smell of Sarah any better than Alora did. “She has become most foul Xena commented, her disgust in her tone.
“It took you long enough to get down here whore!” Sarah snarled,
Alora did not reply, she just stood there with her arms crossed under her bust and looked at Sarah. Her face showed no emotion except in her eyes. In the glowing violet and silver orbs, you could see just how much disdain Alora felt towards Sarah.
Sarah did not like the way Alora was looking at her, like she was better than her. Sarah thought she would put Alora in her place today and take her title. Sarah felt Alora did not deserve her spot as a first rank Alpha class fighter, only she did.
“You better submit to the beating I’m about to give you, or else you’ll pay for it later!” Sarah yelled at her.
Alora’s expression did change then, a smirk curled up one side of her mouth. “I don’t even need to bring forth Xena to defeat you.”
Sarah looked at her and was nearly foaming at the mouth in her anger. Unable to hold back any longer, Sarah charged, and had her legs kicked out from under ber. As Sarah fell face first towards the platform’s floor, she was kicked upward by her stomach.
The blow to her stomach had all the air leaving Sarah’s lungs, preventing her from being able to scream from the pain.
After her upwards kick to Saral’s stomach, Darien watched as Alora jumped and delivered a spinning downwards kick across
Sarah’s back. Reversing Sarah’s upward rise and slamming her down onto the floor of the platform with a loud thump
“Goddess.” Jaxon gasped out, “Alora’s not giving her an inch.” Darien and the others all silently agreed with him.
Alora backed away a bit from Sarah and started to circle around her. Waiting patiently for Sarah to get her breath back and attempt another attack. Sarah gasped, drawing great big gulps of air, and then coughing, only to have her lungs seize up as pain wracked her body.
It was not a pretty sight. Sarah’s face was dark red, tears made her mascara run down her face. Drool was dripping off Sarah’s chin and the white of her eyes turned red. It took a minute before Sarah was able to breathe enough to get up and stand, her fury returning as she did.
