Roy swung first, but I caught him in his armpit with my elbow. It was sheer damned luck, but it made him crumple to the ground, holding his arm.

Thankfully, Benjamin was a bit slower on the draw, and by the time he reached me, I had turned toward him. He barreled toward me, tackling me into the bed of the truck, and I pounded my fists into his sides and back. I felt the glancing shots he was making hitting me in my back as well, and I lifted my knee hard into his chin as soon as I had room to move.

Benjamin stumbled back and I scrambled to my feet. Roy was up again, and without thinking, I dove onto him from the truck bed. I weighed a bit more than he did, and he didn’t seem to expect me flying at him like I was coming off the top rope, so when I landed, we hit the ground hard, mostly on top of him.

I rolled off and squared up on Benjamin, who had shaken off the dizziness. He swung before I was fully on my feet and hit me in the shoulder. I rushed forward to smash into him and he stumbled back, creating a little space. Now I had Benjamin on one side of me and Roy on the other, and both were on their feet.

If I waited for one of them to make a move, I’d be on defense, and that was a recipe for getting licked, so instead, I shot forward and hit Benjamin in the nose with my fist before he had a chance to block it. Blood spurted out and he went down to one knee. I spun around and saw a blur before Roy tackled into me and shoved me into the back of a parked sedan. His fists were flying and a few of them connected really well on the side of my head. I reached out to grab a hold of him when another fist hit me square in the stomach. I crumpled over, wheezing, and tried to push my way away from them.

But I was stuck. Roy pushed me back against the car and Benjamin swung for the fences, landing a shot on my face as a receipt for the one I gave him. I felt blood come out of my nose like a faucet had been turned on, and a rage built up inside me as if I had flipped a switch. Roy was smashing his fist into my ribs, but I barely felt them. I was too damn mad to feel anything.

I reached out and grabbed his arms, happening to catch them as they swung at my body, and slammed my forehead into his face. He let out a little squawk and stumbled away and I turned toward Benjamin. His teeth were gritted, and blood streamed between them as he reared back for another punch to my gut.

I dodged it. His fist went into the taillight of the car and I used the distraction to lay in a couple shots to his head.
