Demon's Plaything (2014)
“The violent sound of fist hitting flesh rang loud, loud enough to be heard over the roar of the crowd, and the bright red spray of blood that flew from the combatant’s mouth only made the roars louder.
It turned Shayla’s stomach.
Everything in her screamed at her to jump in, stop this madness, but she did nothing. She’d done a lot of that recently, and it was taking its toll. This was the fourth—no fifth—of these she’d come to, and so far, stitches and some general patchwork had been the extent... of her medical care.
Still, she hated it. And she knew she was on borrowed time. Something terrible was going to happen here; someone could die, and she would, at least in some way, be responsible.
Unable to watch the fight that continued, she scanned the crowd and was again struck by the range of people in attendance. All races, all genders, seemingly every class, gamblers, curiosity seekers, pretty much any person she could imagine, all together to enjoy the show. In a way it was pretty spectacular.MoreLess
