I gasped and tried to grab for something but couldn't instead I cut my hand on a glass shard sticking up on the ground. I yelped and jumped up. The ghoul stared at Sarah for a long time. I didn't know what he was thinking. "You need to fight in the arena to get her back" he said with his raspy voice. "The Arena?" I asked "Yes,it's like a gladiators cage but you are all alone against unbearable odds." he replied "There is a crowd of souls and and dead emperor who controls the fights....beware though he is very unfair and he has a very sick and twisted mind" he said grinning showing no teeth just a black hole. I lurched forward toward a table. On the table was a sword,shield and some Roman armor. I put it on and grabbed the sword and shield. The ghouls fixed it properly as if he has been doing it for years. "Do you know where this armor came from?" I asked "It was once mine....until I died in the arena fighting for my love....my wife." he said straining not to cry. I looked away from him towards the arena's bleachers. Sitting in a private room was the lord and Sarah. I walked out and towards the entrance to the arena. When I walked in I was immediately cut in my calf muscle. I looked at the huge gash and fell to the floor... Here you go guys
I jumped up and felt the hot blood trickle down my leg. I looked at what had cut me. It was a zombie warrior. I guess that's what I had to fight. The lord stood up and for once I noticed he had no face and no legs. He was a ghost. I looked at Sarah who had been knocked out cold. "LET THE CHALLENGE....BEGIN!!!" He Yelled "ARGH!!!" I heard from several dead people in the crowd. I charged at the zombie and plunged my sword through his face. I then chopped his legs in half. I ran towards more zombies running my way. I hacked them down with no problem. Just as I thought it was over and I could get Sarah back the lord yelled again. "DAY ONE COMPLETE!!! 300 DAYS LEFT!" He exclaimed. I dropped to my knees as all the dead left the stadium. I looked at my bloody sword. I saw something approaching me in the gleam of the silver. I rolled away and saw what was approaching me. It was the ghoul. I looked at him and he seemed to feel my pain (which of course he did) I got up and walked to him. We walked back to my prep room and he doctored me. When I got to my "Sleeping" room I laid down and strained to sleep. But for some reason...the sounds of screaming men,women,and children don't help..... There you go sorry if it's short

Last Update THREE HUNDRED DAYS LATER... I slowly walked away from the piles and piles of dead ghouls. This was my last battle to freedom. I walked up to the ghoul that had gave me the armor. I handed him the sword, shield and armor. He took it and as I turned away he grabbed my arm. "Son....You did it...what I could not..I'm sorry" he said looking at me with sad eyes. "Son?" I asked blinking rapidly trying to make out the face. It was my dad...the whole time it was him. "I had fought for your mother here once...I failed but you....you succeeded" he said patting my shoulder. I stood there paralyzed not knowing what to say or do. Before I could speak I heard the lord in the arena so I followed the voice. "I HERE BY CONGRATULATE THIS YOUNG MAN FOR WINNING HIS LOVE!" he yelled into the crowd. I walked up to him and he handed me Sarah's hand. I smiled at her and she smiled back. For once I noticed something...my scars I had been cut so many times but I didn't feel it. She was starting to cry when I saw the lord open up a cave that gleamed with light....it was the outside of this wretched place. As I walked toward the opening something happened...I got hit with something and fell to the floor. I looked at the lord who was smirking. He had paralyzed my legs. My father fought him with a sword just long enough for me to say. "SARAH!! RUN!! YOU NEED TO GO!!" I yelled half crying half demanding. She hesitated then saw that the cave was slowly closing. I stared at her face...her beautiful face that I would never get to see again. My eyes started to tear up. I saw her come back and kiss me one last time. "I love you Jason" She said sobbing. "I love you too Sarah...forever and always baby" I said She ran to the opening and jumped through right before it was almost closed. The very last thing I saw was...THE BREAK OF DAWN........... Thanks for the lovely support guys
