Hey guys !!! Back to Zander

Zander

I was relieved when I got a call from Ambrose , he sounded a bit weird but atleast he is safe I though as Aria whirled the car around and stopped in front of a dark ally. I could tell something was not right ,why would Ambrose ask us to meet near a dark ally? This was so unlikely of him. "A cafe perhaps sounds more of Ambrose " I muttered as I stepped out of the car.

Everything seemed foggy ,I could not see anything properly . Out in the distance stood a wavy figurine , I moved closer to get a better look hoping it would be Ambrose . My gaze met Aria's we knew something was not right .
" Stay behind me and cover " I said as she drew her sword.
I approached the mysterious person whose back was turned to me,I tapped at his shoulder nervously .
He turned around and I heaved a sigh of relief , there he was , finally . I embraced him but something was not right , he looked happy but at the same time had this worried look as if waiting for something bad to happen .

" what's bothering you ? " I questioned .

"Dude I'm sorry , there was nothing I could do , they have Amanda.

" What ! Who ? Where? "I yelled confused and then suddenly my whole body began to tingle . A weird sensation, it started from my fingers and spread throughout my body . It was like a little electric current but here's the weird part it didn't hurt, instead it kind of energised me , filled me with new profound energy , it sharpened my senses and now I could see clearly even in the mist.
I ducked as a baseball bat zipped over my head . My mind was racing checking for routes to escape at the same time looking for the bad guys. I quickly sidestepped as I felt another baseball bat zip through the air but this time I caught it. I checked around for Aria but she was nowhere to be seen. Then out of the shadows emerged a tall man with a very muscular torso.

He held a sword , it was beautifully arched , double edged , it looked deadly . Where as I was armed with a baseball bat.
" Here goes nothing " I said as I plunged at him.

First of all the combination of a baseball bat and sword all you get is noise pollution . " The torso man" as I called him was a really experienced fighter. He swung his sword beautifully at me as I back stepped and dodged his attack. I couldn't help but admire his style , he was so graceful . I brought my baseball bat down flat onto his arm but he was too fast , he quickly parred with breathtaking speed and with his leg pushed me aside . I quickly recovered and gave harsh swing at him aiming to the right but with a flick of my wrist I changed it to a little to his left " bang! It hit him as he moved to the left thinking my attack was from the right.
I hadn't done much damage but atleast I found a weak point . I knew I had hit a nerve , this man probably never got hit or something because he started bellowing and shouting in anger . He jumped at me and like a machine started going all Bruce Lee on me. He was fast , really fast . I barely dodged his attacks . I jumped as his sword came sweeping at my leg , I landed behind him and shoved the bat up his back. Without giving him time to recover I hit him hard across his shoulder and with a roundhouse kick he was on the ground.

Surprisingly he pushed himself up and looked at me with disgust.
" Only a coward attacks from behind " he said as he spat blood out of his mouth.
" You are going to wish you were never born ! " he warned as he took a step closer to me.

I have to admit I was scared , this guy was creeping me out. I knew I could not take him , he was too good .

He swung his sword at me really hard knocking the baseball bat of my hands. I stood there weaponless and in awe as it all happened in a microsecond . He threw down his sword and looked at me with pity.
" Say hello to your worst nightmare" he said as his hand met my face which ended my embarrassment .

I woke up to find three tall figures towering above me .
" He's awake" muttered oneI couldn't make out the face but I was pretty sure it was a girl.
They pushed me up and dragged me across the hallway to a room . I was still drowsy from the fight , all my energy felt drained , I felt weak. They left me in front of a big red door. I let myself in and took a seat.
I was still feeling embarrassed , I let my emotions get in the way, all the brilliance I exhibited was extinguished . I need to focus more I thought and then suddenly the door opened . A hooded man walked in and seated himself before me.

" It was a nice little display you put out there , you almost took down one of my best men " he said sounding a mix of pity and displeasure.

" You have great potential " he said as he took out his hood.

I looked up to meet his eyes and "WHAM! " it was him. I got the shock of my life. The guy I had been dreaming about sat two inches in front of me. The same guy with the ashen face and spooky looks. I had never met this guy , but somehow I dreamed of him. I was connected to him in someway , I just didn't know it yet. Something told me deep down inside that There was something more to this man, something that linked my past or atleast I hoped.
