The fall was frightening, but quick. Daniel didn't even have time to scream because when he opened his mouth to do so he fell head over heels into some kind of lake. Or he imagined it was a lake, everything around him was very dark, so he couldn't be sure. All he knew was that he was in the water, and he needed to get out.
" Wow! Cold! " He took a deep breath when he reached the surface and began to move his arms and legs, trying not to sink again.
Looking around, he realized he was in a very dark place, only a dim light coming from the sky. The light source came from a huge moon and a few stars that seemed to dance in the sky.
Weird, with a moon that size, you'd expect a little more light.
The sound of screams in the distance caught his attention and he swam towards the noise. He found the shore of the lake and came out of the water shaking wildly.
"Oooon...fff...fire!" He stammered, but his powers didn't work.
With no better idea about what to do, he decided to move on. He walked towards the screams, cautiously, to find out what was causing all the fuzz. He stuffed his hands into the pockets of his wet jacket and quickened his pace. Soon he began to discern some words. It looked like some kind of boy's fight.
"Kick his ass! Yeah!" Someone yelled and laughed.
" The guy isn't even man enough to fight back! " Another joined the incentive for violence.
Daniel saw three boys, no older than thirteen each, surrounding one another, who was lying in fetal position on the floor. Suddenly, every muscle in his body froze, but not because he was wet. He knew who the young man lying on the ground was, he knew that scene very well because that was something that was part of his life.
A part of his life he wanted to forget.
" Come on, Daniel! Get up! Prove Denis is wrong, show us that you have a man inside you! " The leader of the trio teased and kicked him again. "I can do this all day, how long are you going to make me wait?"
" How about I give you a hand with all this waiting? What do you think about fighting me, Lucas? " A boy with red hair said, approaching the confusion.
Please, not this... not again!
Lucas turned around to give the redhead an answer, but fell to the ground after taking a beautiful right hook to the face. The other two boys backed away from the newcomer, they were clearly afraid of him. Which was funny since the redhead wasn't even that much taller than them and was even a little skinny. He also appeared to be the same age as his opponents, but something about the way his green eyes studied each of them made it clear that it wouldn't be a good idea to provoke him. The ripped-knee jeans and leather jacket gave him a bad boy vibe that shouted, "Want to mess with me? I wouldn't advise" look.
" Easy there, Jonas. " One of the boys said. "We were just messing around with Daniel.
" Go home, assholes. " Jonas replied. " The game is over."
