Tor lazily rolled over and grabbed his phone, he yawned before mumbling incoherently.

The voice on the other end pulled his mind from the haze, "Bring me the boy, Tor. Do what's right."

Tor rubbed his eyes before stumbling from his room, phone pressed to ear. His eyes locked on the small form curled up in the hallway outside of his room, lays the boy.

"I'm sorry, Zel. But I can't, I promised Jinxx."

The next thing Tor knew was that Caspian was in his arms and he was running. After awhile Tor had to stop and when he did, he was surrounded.

Caspian was ripped from his arms by a man with tattoos covering the skin that was exposed by his tank top and shorts, even disappearing underneath the fabric. His blond hair flopped against his forehead and ears. "I am Soko, 40 years old. I am taking this boy."

Caspian struggles in the man's grip, begging Tor. "TOR!! PLEASE! HELP ME?!"

Tor exhaled shakily, his body not ready of being a shield and attack. I have to let go for now.

Soko smirked and looked at the other men surrounding Tor, "Do not kill him but do injure him. We can't have him getting in our way. We will have to deal with the Bandana later."

Tor's vision went dark, his body giving in to the inevitable. By the time he awoke again, Tor was bleeding from wounds that looked like blade slashes. Nothing too deep. He sighed and let his body heal itself.

He turned on his side and coughed. The coughing continued until he coughed up blood. His vision went fuzzy and then righted itself.

The men and Caspian were long gone, a note remained. Embedded into the closest tree with a curved knife.

Tor slowly rose before making his way to the note.

You were warned. We are sorry it happened this way. ~Zel

Tor shook his head before stumbling back to his place, the man infront of the building looked at him as he entered, "Sorry sir. This place is closed to people of your stature."

Tor glared at the man, "I have a room here. I am not homeless. I am usually much more tidy than this but my friend beat me up."

Tor shoved pass the man and collapsed on his bed. He groaned as he covered his face, "I'm sorry. I failed you Jinxx."

There came a single knock. Then a shout...
