The Game : A New Beginning

Chapter 3 : Dodge or Die

"What's the matter, Leon? All that big talk for nothing." Says a mysterious voice.

I'm starring down at my feet, wearing full body war armor painted black with cuts into it and I'm bleeding out from my side.

"And here I thought you were going to be more of a challenge Mr. Maker!" He taunts at me with a mockingly.

I look up towards him and see that he's wearing dark green and gold trimmed full body armor without a helmet, holding a long sword with glowing green engravings.

I look at my sword I'm carrying and notice that it has 2 gold snakes wrapped around the handle and red jewels in their mouths. My blade also has engravings on it, but it's more of a starish shape.

I bring up my sword and held it towards him, "You're just mad because your boyfriend cheated on you with your father!"

He then spits on the ground in front of me and dashes towards me. In a split second he disappears, like how my father would, but leaving a little flash of his posture to diminish out of sight. Suddenly I feel this shape pain in my chest. He's next to me with his sword stabbed through me.

"Now you die, Leon."

Jolted wake, i find myself thick in my own sweat, heart racing in fear. blinded by glaring sun and still weighted down by my legs. I look down to see a little dog sniffing my shoe.

"What the fuck?" I grumble. Finding my legs light even with the weights still attached, I kick out at the dog.

The dog then shows it's big razor sharp teeth and starts drooling all over.

"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I scream, kicking it in the muzzle as it runs at me. I pushed with all my might and rolled myself over on my stomach. Quickly I push myself onto my knees, turning to find myself face to face with a pouncing dog.

I throw my hands up to block my face. A sword slices the air, followed by the dogs whelp and a heavy thud. Leaving my ears ringing for a few seconds. Instead of feeling the dog pouncing on me, I feel a big gush of blood splash all over me.

"Look at you. In all your patheticness. Consider this to be the only sympathy you'll ever see from me until you prove something else to me."

I turn around on my knees to see my father staring down at me with a big smirk on his face. "What the fuck was that thing?" I ask, looking at the two halves of the dog laying on both sides of me.

"That was almost your demise. Usually there are more, they hardly travel alone. Now get back to it or you'll be joining that mutt!" He screams the last part at me and disappears violently.

I push myself back on my feet easier than expected. But my legs still feel heavy as ever. My legs are a little shaky from the weight, but mostly because of this rude awakening from an interesting nightmare.

"Well... Better get to it then." I sigh and start walking up the hill. My legs are quivering under the weight and lack of energy to push forward but I'm refusing to quit. I'm also very grateful for memorizing all these pot holes and rocks. Otherwise I would have tripped by now by not paying attention to where I'm stepping.

After what seemed like forever, I made it to the top of the hill. My arms feeling numb and my legs feeling like they're going to break off. So I just decide to stand for a little bit before walking down this hill and taking a chance of tripping under this weight.

I suddenly feel a little pressure come over me, like the feeling I get when my father is present but this isn't as terrifying or heavy.

"So the young Leon Maker is training, eh?" I hear from behind me. His voice is a little raspy. I turn around to see a short haired, white guy staring at me with a crack smile. He's wearing nothing besides dark green samurai leggings with a gold trim and knives, daggers, and throwing stars attached to it.

His arms flash in speed over his sides and I see a little flash glare next to my face. I feel all the weights on me fall off on the ground. He laughs a little, "You won't be needing those. I want to have fun killing you."

"What?! Who the fuck are you, anyways?" Why is it that when I want to take a break, someone or something is always trying to kill me!

"Well, wouldn't you like to know?" He giggles and he throws 3 knives at me with one hand. Before the blades even left his hand, I dove down the hill to dodge them. I felt one of them barely fly by my legs from how fast they were.

I roll a little bit down the hill and catch myself. I start running down the hill to get to that potion. Suddenly he starts running down the hill next to me, laughing hysterically. He was laughing so hard that he tripped off a pot hole and starts rolling down next me. But he sneakily trips me with his leg in a swift move spinning down the hill. I wasn't fast enough to react to it.

Both of us rolling down this vicious hill, he still laughs at me like he isn't. I fall directly on my face on the flat ground. Out of air and dizzied, looking around to see that I'm at the bottom of the hill. Wondering where the fuck this crazy asshole is.

"You are suppose to be the mighty son of the Maker family? And you run like a bitch away from a fight?! Man, you must be asking to die if not by me, then your father." He laughs and beckons me to show some feedback.

I get back to my feet and find him sitting in an invisible chair position. Looking vigorously at me as if he's hungry. "You look even more pathetic than I expected you to look. Just a straight up fag in confusion. You don't understand that Death itself is sitting in front of you. Your killer instincts are pussy instincts. A bitch in disguise with a fake Badass title."

Then he stands up right and grabs 3 more knives. "You are going to die now, Leon." He says calmly with a smile. Then he slowly begins to walk a slow circle around me, twirling knives around his fingers.

"I thought you were going to be so much more fun to kill. BUT, I guess every family has their disappointing child. HAHAHA. Now Leon, you either DODGE or you die. And I hope you are quicker on your feet than you've already shown me. Because if you're not, then you should prepare yourself for an eternal life of misery."

He then stops and stares directly at me and becomes serious holding his knives ready. "As in stretch your asshole open, you'll become someone's little bitch in no time!"
