 I'd awoke in an arena.

 There was really nothing but big, heavy solid silver walls.

 I glanced around for an exit.

 There was none.

 "Having a little fun, are you?"

 I turned around.

 A man was standing a million feets away.

 He wore a black leather jacket with a deep plum purple shirt. His pants were a grayish black mixed in. His hair was a slick, sleek black spiky. He also had on black leather gloves.

 He turned his head around. He had on gray glasses with black lenses.

 "Just like your father," the man said. "Always going off to save the ones he loved."

 I readied my bow, holding it in my grasp.

 "And you are?"

 "Who else? Here's a hint: It starts with a bang."

 "What bang?"

 The man rolled his eyes.

 "What do you call someone who shoots stuff?"

 "A shooter, duh."

 A shooter? No.

 A Shooter.

 "I'm surprised that you're still around, Sharp Shooter," I growled.

 Sharp Shooter grinned.

 I couldn't believe it.

 "You really don't know why I made your dad do it? To run away from his own family?"

 I growled.

 "You see, me and your dad were close. We were best friends. Until he met that scum woman."

 "Hey, you're talking about my mother!" I spatted.

 "Oh dear, my bad," Sharp Shooter sneered. "Where was I? Oh yeah. So he met and fell in love with that woman. I was furious. If your father fell in love with that woman, that meant no more best friends time then. So your father told me his secret; that he was the Archer. So I went and disguised myself as a villains. I told your father that I'd threatened to destroy his family. So there you have it. Your father ran away from his family. Only I'd never heard from him again. Besides, I'd enjoyed myself as being a villains."

 "You selfish fiend!" I snarled.

 "You better keep that mouth shut or I'm going to shut it for you," Sharp Shooter warned.

 "Who do you think you are?" I snapped.

 "Why, I'm Erikson Lyle. I'm best friends with Ethaniel Lewis or use to be. I have a diploma from high school. I have a fancy house and...."
