chapter 3
my parents decided to take away the sword I had gotten for a present away. And I was totally fine with that, to be honest I was a little scared of that black blade. that night I just couldn't get to sleep I kept thinking about that blade and how it had just appeared without my adoptive parents putting it there. Around 12:00 when I finally started to drift into dreamland I heard a loud thumping noise. I sat up. Again I heard a thump. I looked over at my window and saw a animal pressed against the glass. Ahhhhhh! I screamed The animal linked like some cross of a scorpion a lion and a wolf. it had a scorpion tail with a sleek wolf body with a mane like a lion. a manticore I remembered from from my ancient Greek teacher. then suddenly the manticore shape shifted into a tall man in a trench coat. In a heartbeat he stepped through the solid pane of glass grabbed me and threw me out the window. I landed with a thud and probably broke a few ribs. The man in a trench coat landed nimbly beside me. In one swift movement he gaged me and threw me over his shoulder. he ran in the opisite direction for about fifteen minutes all of whish I was screaming and kicking at last he entered a small house, that from my point of view looked to be made entirely of black metal. the man threw me into a chair and tied me into it he ripped off my gag pretty painfully. I then realized that a man was walking towards me. Ah Jack , we have been waiting for you.
