The Cartel’s Queen

The Day I Change

All I saw was red. I wanted to kill everyone in this room including myself. I felt like I had nothing left to live for. Instantly it was like my body was filled with this undeniable strength that I have never felt in my life before.

In a flash, I broke out of the restraint Emilio had put me in and charged the ring angrily. I slammed through the crowd, making the gang members stumble to the floor.

I swiftly jumped into the ring, stopping once Enzo’s lifeless body was in front of me. Everything disappeared around me as I looked at Enzo’s lifeless body. I dropped to my knees and held him in my arms.

At this moment, all I could picture in my arms was Enzo's younger self. When we were younger, and much closer than we were now. I cried into his chest, as the others laughed around me.

The man in the ring, Mario, had the nerve to crack jokes.

“Your brother wasn’t strong enough be a part of this life anyways.” Mario said out cockily, wiping the sweat off of his face

Rage swirled through my body, giving me the strength of a million bulls. Without a second thought, I released Enzo and jumped to my feet. I rushed Mario and tackled him into the ring floor. I began throwing punches left and right as fast as I could.

I could feel his face beneath my fists, but I couldn’t see anything. It was like everything was black, and I was in some kind of rageful trance.

Mario was able to grab a hold of my fists, throwing me off of him. I quickly got to my feet as he stumbled to his. Blood dripped down his face from a gash I made from punching him repeatedly.

“YOU STUPID b***h!”

“YOUR GONNA DIE NEXT!”

“Do it then!” I yelled out full of rage

Mario rushed me, tackling me into the ropes of the ring. He punched me in my stomach a couple of times, then hit my ribs next. I used my speed, and got away from him, moving around the ring trying to stay moving.

Mario rushed me again with his body open, so I used my speed again and got low, punching him in his stomach and side, then kicking him in the knee, making him stumble to the floor.

He quickly got up, yelling angrily.

I could tell he was getting tired, but I was just getting started. I wanted his head for what he did to my brother.

He rushed me again, tackling me to the floor. He wrapped his huge hands around my neck, choking me until I couldn’t breath. I tried to kick and fight against him, but he was too heavy. He was using his weight to hold me to the ground.

“You can die like your weak and pathetic brother!” Mario snapped out angrily as he choked me

He just added more fuel to my fire. I held my breath and took my hands off of his grip around my neck and took both of my thumbs, jamming them into his eyes. I dug my nails into his eyes until I saw blood dripping down his face.

“AHHHHHHHH!” Mario screamed out painfully, putting his hands in front of his face

I took the chance to get up and away from him. I watched as blood poured from his eyes and down his face. He moaned out in pain as he stumbled to his feet, pulling a huge knife out from his ankle.

He waved it around angrily as he rushed me again. I had somewhat of an advantage because he couldn’t really see, but he was still a huge threat.

As he rushed me, I moved around the ring quickly, avoiding the huge knife he was waving around. I was able to run behind him and kick him in the back of the leg, making him fall to his knees.

Once he was on his knees, he waved the knife around his back, slicing me on the arm. I watched as blood trickled down my arm and onto the ring floor. For some reason, I couldn’t feel the pain. It was like I was numb. All I wanted was revenge, and I couldn’t possibly think or feel pain, all I wanted was revenge.

With every ounce of strength I had, I punched him multiple times in the head and face when he was still on his knees, making him fall to the floor.

“STAND UP!” I screamed out in rage. My breathing was out of control and I was turning into some kind of monster.

Mario stumbled to his feet, staggering around the ring as he waved the huge knife around.

“KILL HER MARIO!” Santiago yelled out from the crowd, making me look out to him

He was seething that I was actually holding up my own. Just because I am a woman, doesn’t mean I couldn’t kill this man. Men always underestimate women, always thinking we’re weak. These men here today will learn to respect us, especially me.

Without realizing it, Mario rushed me.

Fucking Santiago distracted me!

I didn’t have much time to react as he charged me with the huge knife. He lunged at me, trying to stab me in the heart. Without much reaction time, I stopped the knife with my hand, watching the huge blade go through the palm of my hand and stopping in front of my chest as I held my arm out.

“AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”

I definitely felt that!

God this is like the worst pain ever! Mario used his strength and weight to still try to stab me in the chest with the blade through my hand. s**t hurt like f*****g hell!

I needed to get out of this, asap!

Without a second thought, I jumped up and head butted Mario, sending him flying back. The blade stayed in my hands as blood poured out from the wound. I held my breath and pulled the knife out quickly.

“AHHHHHH!”

I tore a piece of my shirt off and tied it around my hand, trying to stop the blood gushing out of my hand. At Least until I could finish off this f*****g dead piece of s**t!

Mario stumbled to his feet with blood all over him. He rushed me again, leaving his body open again. I made myself small as I maneuvered around him and kicked him behind his knee, making him fall to his knees. As he fell to his knees, I took the knife and plunged it deep into his neck, pulling it out and watching blood squirt everywhere. The white ring floor was now splattered with blood everywhere.

Mario’s hands went straight to his neck, trying to stop the bleeding, but it was too late. Blood spurted from his mouth as he tried to talk, but I didn’t give him mercy. As he laid on the ring floor trying to breath, blood filled up his neck. I got on top of him, having hiked struggle underneath me as he tried to fight back, but I plunged the knife into his head, killing him instantly.

Silence filled the room as I took the knife out of his head. I rammed it into his neck over and over and over again, cutting through his flesh and severing his head off. Blood poured everywhere as the huge blade cut through his neck, severing his head from his spine.

I stood to my feet with his head in my hand.

I threw it towards Santiago angrily, watching it roll to his feet. He wasn’t happy to say the least, but I didn’t f*****g care. He got my f*****g brother killed!

“I’m gonna f*****g kill you next!” I screamed out angrily toward Santiago

Men from Santiago’s crew pulled out guns and pointed them at me, ready to kill me.

“Kill her!” Santiago snapped out angrily

“You will do no such thing!” Emilio yelled out angrily

The men put their guns down, not too happy with Emilios request.

“Why not?!” Santiago snapped out angrily

Emilio laughed out sinisterly, enjoying every minute of this.

“Did you not just see her?! She’s a f*****g beast and a great asset. Which means she needs to be alive.”

God he made me so sick. He was so evil and humorous about it too.

Santiago scoffed out annoyedly, not agreeing with Emillio’s decision.

“She belongs to me now and will be under my protection. Don’t start a war over something stupid.” Emilio said out sinisterly calm to Santiago

Santiago didn’t look happy, but he didn’t challenge him. He knew not too, he was the boss.

“Fine nephew, but don’t let this b***h get you killed.”

Emilio laughed out as he made his way inside of the ring with me. He clapped as he approached me, applauding me for my victory.

“We will be taking our leave, E.” Santiago said out annoyedly

Santiago turned and walked towards the exit, making me in rage again. He didn’t deserve to live either! I still had the huge knife in my hand. I raised my arm without a second thought and threw it in Santiago's direction.

I was pretty good with knives and targets. I had pretty good chances with hitting him from across the room.

Before the knife could get to Santiago, one of his crew members jumped behind him, taking the knife into the stomach. Santiago turned around, shocked. He looked at me angrily, wanting to kill me.

Before I could run out of the ring and attempt to kill him, Emilio pulled out his gun and hit me in the back of the head. The blow was hard and knocked me to the ring floor. I laid there, in and out of consciousness.

Emilio bent down and picked me up in his arms.

“You don’t know how to quit, do you?”

His voice echoed throughout my ears as darkness surrounded me, making me drift out into the unknown.
