Dragon Keep

Chapter three

         " Calum woke up in Komidia and checked out of his cheap motel. He was on his way to the train station for his final trip to Dragons Keep he had lucked out with just enough money to buy the ticket. About halfway too the station he heard screams and Shrieks. Running down the alley towards the source of the noise, at the end of the alley was an old door paint peeling around the edges. It was locked from the inside he kicked the door open and ran inside. In the center of the room was a single chair with a little girl tied down to it and a skinny pale twig of a man standing over here with a long butcher knife in his hand.

        Before the two could react Calum was across the room he punched the man in the face breaking his nose and causing him to drop the knife. From there he picked up the knife and cut the girl free.

         "Hurry go get help." Calum yelled at the girl pushing her out the door before turning to face the people he could here coming down the stairs. Both of the men had a gun in their hands. Calum threw the knife at the first man hitting him in the face with the handle before turning to run out the door. He didn't make it two steps before a dart from one of the guns hit him in the neck and he fell asleep. Calum woke up to a sharp pain in his leg.
         "Its adrenaline didn't what you to sleep through the fun man, those tranks keep people out like a light." a man with greased hair and cigarette sitting on his lip said holding Calum's head up by his hair. Calum went to swing his fist into the mans face but realized that he was tied down to the same chair he had freed the girl from: so he did the only thing he really could.

         "Argh, he spit on me forget the speech have your fun with him boys." The boss said whooping his face as he walked up stairs. He hadn't even made it to the stairs before Calum was hit in the stomach forcing the air out of him. That was just the beginning the two took turns beating him. It went on until he didn't even react any more. his eyes lifeless and unseeing when one of the men went to get a bat to finish him off. The bat was being to rise when the door was forced open for the second time that day. Three people ran through two of them dealt with the guys in the room while the third untied him.
       
         "Hey what's your name." She asked him setting him down on the floor brown hair falling over her shoulder.
    
"Calum my names Calum." He said back.

        "Good you know your name I'm lux and the two over there are Dawn and Caleb we're from Dragons Keep, we will get you out of here don't worry." She said before standing back up. Dawn and Caleb had already moved out side to get a stretcher made somehow. It was when they had went out side that the boss ran down the stairs a sword in his right hand. Time slowed down as Calum stood up some kind of power went off inside of him making his wings appear and his eyes become the color of blue fire.

        Looking more Like a monster than a man he raised his hand and grabbed the sword which absorbed into the gauntlet that had appeared on his hand. The man started to stumble away but Calum stepped towards him and punched the man in the chest sending him flying into the wall. Then the power left and Calum dropped to the floor as his eyes slid shut. The three of the carried him out side and set him on the improvised stretcher before their wings appeared and the trio set of to the guild with Calum being held between them.
