"It is great they are live-streaming the fight." A guy spoke.

Another male voice that was a lot squeakier asked "Who have you got a bet on?"

"The one from Arizona. People are saying he is best in the state."

"Vulcan will still destroy him." Another voice said, "I have got fifty bucks on him."

Something built up at the bottom of my stomach. I shifted in my seat because I was suddenly uncomfortable.

The high-pitched voice spoke again "They have taken the whole gladiator and Roman mythology theme a bit far."

"How come?" The other guy asked.

"Like the names I get but Vulcan getting a massive medusa tattoo on his back is extreme."

My neck itched as I could feel several eyes penetrating the back of my head while another familiar voice contributed something.

I recognise it as Kyle, Chase's close friend who uttered "It was not for Litora Bello."

A million images flashed in my head. It was like jigsaw puzzle pieces getting put together and the full picture revealed itself.

The first time we all went to the beach and their car was still there. His black eye and other bruises I had seen on his body. The nights he would disappear. The overall physique of Stone.

Before I could hit myself for being so stupid and oblivious, Lana jogged over to the bleachers while her heels made a horrible clacking noise.

She fell onto the seat next to me and sighed "That guy who wanted to dance with me was way too talkative for my liking."

I could not listen to what she had to say because I was already questioning her "You know last year when we took Mythology. You know when I was put in Mr Johnson's Greek class, and you were put in Ms Grey's Roman mythology one. Do you remember anything from that class?"

Lana tilted her head in confusion, but she answered, "Not really."

"I do not know a lot about Roman mythological names. They stole all the gods from the Greek, so I just thought they were the same thing and I never bothered to learn the Roman ones." I shook my head as I let out a humourless laugh "It would have come in handy now."

"Ella, what are you talking about?"

"Do you remember what Vulcan was the god of?" I asked and I already knew that I would not like the answer.

"No." Lana said immediately but she thought a little before answering again "I think the Greek equivalent was something beginning with an H."

"Hephaestus?"

"That is it!" She cheered.

The god of blacksmithing and metalwork. In other words, mechanics. Also, the god of fire and known for having an anger streak. The least easy to get on with among the gods.

I felt a little sick.

"That is all I needed to know." I said while my voice wavered.
