Thorn

Chapter 5

I punch him in the gut as I run away, trying to get away from the dangerous man that Satan warned me about. I tire after going up seven flights of stairs to get to the roof.

"Hey! Listen, I'm not trying to hurt you! I just want to talk!" He yells as I trip and fall.

I turn and look at him, his eyes starring down at me. I knock his feet out from under him, jumping on top. I slam my elbow down onto his face and blood spits from his mouth.

"Why are you following me? Huh?" I scream down into his face.

"Because I'm after the same people your after! Let me up and we find a hideout so I can explain!" He yells back.

We arrive at the empty factory and I hold him at gun point, his crossbow lays beside me. The small contraption looks of the same design as my staff. I hold my automatic pistol at him.

"So my parents were murdered by Malachi also, I woke to gunshots and found them dead. Satan confronted me that night and I have him my soul for the powers and the crossbow. That's why I've been following you for the past three years. We can't die until we've paid off our debt, together we can find the others and kill them together!" He says. I sit and think before I come back to and see him laying the pistol beside me.

"Okay, but you have to promise me that you'll be on my side and if your not.....I won't hesitate to kill you with your own weapon." I say and he nods in understanding.

He lays down on the floor beside me as I fall asleep. The hard mattress is large enough for two people, so I move close against the wall and offer him to move beside me.

"Don't worry, I've slept on worse. Sleep tight, we have a big day ahead of us. We find Sylvester tomorrow, and we kill him." He says and I nod as I turn away from him and smile. His face and smile would persuade anyone, especially me.
