The Devil's Moon (Finished)

Chapter 20

Matt

I landed face down in a puddle. My entire body felt broken. The only reason I was not dead was all the construction pipes that blocked my fall. Or like slowed it down some.

I forced my self up. Slower then I would have liked but considering the blood that spilled from my mouth, I was in no shape to be moving at all. I was not even completely up when the man ran over to me and tried to kick me.

I quickly jumped up and blocked his kick. I then countered him with my own kick to the knee and punches that he was able to dodge. He lost his balance and tripped. I tried to hit him but my senses were off. The rain was loud and interfering with my hearing. I completely missed and he was able to spear me. Picking me up off the ground before slamming me back down again.

I was on my back and he used this to his advantage and jumped on top of me. He wrapped his hand around my throat and tried to chock the life out of me. With him sitting on top of me there was no missing him. I brought both of my fists down to his chest than his head. Before kicking him off me. I got up and tried to hit him but he got three good punches before I could even move. I tried to get up again but he kicked me back down.

He reached for the knife and now I had to get my shit together or die. I listened as much as I could as I tried my best to block his attacks. I was able to land a punch to his face sending him to the wet ground.

He got back up and came towards me and I quickly flipped out of the way. He swung at me with the knife and I quickly pushed his arm away.

He dropped the knife but caught it with his other hand. He swiped at my stomach and I had to jump back to get out of the way.

He then swiped at my face and I was able to duck at the last second. He swung at me again and I punched his arm away from me. He tried again and I grabbed him to the ground. Twisting his arm until it broke.

He struggled for a second but only for a second before getting up and grabbing the knife with his good arm. We both staggered to get up but he continued to limp over to me as I did to him. I listened to the sounds around me. I could hear metal clanking. The chain was right behind me. I reached back and grabbed hold. He tried to stab me and I reached out with the chain and wrapped it around his wrist. Then head butted him. He was winded and I wrapped the chain around his neck.

Using his knife to tie the chain links into place as I punched him repeatedly. He was tough so I spun in the air kicking him in the face. He was unconscious thankfully because I was not sure if I could get up from where I laid on the cold wet concrete. I struggled to get up but finally managed to stand up.

"Who..." I could hear Karen say from the distance.

I didn't even realize she was there. I turned around to look at her and pulled out the thumb drive,

"What the hell?" She replied as she must have been looking at me confused.

"I'll get this into the right hands," I told her.

"No, you cant. You cant take it to the police. You cant trust anyone." She pleaded with me.

"Than we tell everyone," I told her as I grabbed the man by his collar and started to drag him away.

I grabbed him all the way across town and dropped him on the front steps of the police station with the flash drive stuck to his shirt for all to see.

I sat on the rooftop across from Karen's apartment looking out to her apartment waiting for someone to show up so I could get any hint as to who was after her. To say I was shocked when I saw Karen her self to show was an understatement. I watched as she moved around her apartment and it only took me a few seconds to realize she was not alone. There was another shadow moving around in her apartment. I watched the guy step out of the shadows and attack her. I was about to run over when I saw another man come in the room. The two of them started fighting until they were both launched out the window falling a few stories.

I watched as this masked man and Karen's attacker continued to fight. I was beyond intrigued by this man in the mask. Not intrigued I was fascinated I needed to know who he was and why he was willing to help Karen. He was like a ninja. The way he moved was amazing and he was selfless. Once Karen was safe he grabbed the man and dragged him away. I stayed behind and followed Karen as she headed back to Matts. Just hanging in the shadows, unseen making sure she got home safely. All the while wondering who the man in the mask was.
