I load an arrow.
"That's him..." one of the warriors say.
The warrior points at me. It's clear I'm a threat to these guys. It's clear the two men who had attempted to rape me got away and went to get help from the rest of their guild members. There is no black assassin to help me now. I'm alone. I don't run. Even if I could get away Sarafine wouldn't be able to. At level 1 she didn't have the agility points.
I was cornered. I was a mouse caught in a trap with nothing but a bow. I raise my bow. I stare intensely at them. My hand is shaking. I'm sweating. I'm surrounded by warriors. They have on their helmets. Most of them have on the same armor. I keep sitting here wondering if this was the way that I was going to die.
Sarafine opens up her menu.
"The guild is called the Warriors of Light. The one in the gold armor...that's the guild leader. Tiger."
I look over at the man in the gold. I point my arrow to him. I don't have time to open up my menu.
"What level?" I whisper to Sarafine.
"60."
Fuck.
I hadn't come across someone who was level 60 yet. I was just level 45.
The leader takes a few steps forward. He removes his helmet and puts it in his inventory. He had an axe...similar to the one that Demona carries. It glows a neon color though. The weapons that glow neon mean that they are special weapons. He smiles something sinister at that moment. In a weird sick way, he was attractive. He was a white boy, blond hair and beautiful facial construction. He has on heavy armor that makes him look like a goddam giant that glistens a gold color.
He takes few confident steps towards me.
"Close enough."
He looks me up and down. How the fuck did this guy get to level 60? My heart was racing. He was tough. I wouldn't be able to take him down let alone kill the guys with him.
"My name is Tiger," he tells me, "One of my guild members tells me that you attacked him."
Tiger is talking to me. He's calm. He opens up his menu. He's reading my stats. There is no way to hide my stats from him. Only assassins had a skill that was able to do that. He reads me like an open book.
"It was self-defense. Your people attacked me first."
"Is that right?" he asks.
He is confident. Cocky and a little rude. He looks over at me. The other warriors are looking at me right now as well.
"Yeah. I don't want any problems."
He nods, "The girl with you. I can't read her stats. How come?"
I look over at Sarafine. I didn't realize you couldn't see her stats. The only thing I remember seeing was the fact that she was level 1. I couldn't see her Health Bar or anything else. It was definitely something strange.
"It must be some kind of game glitch," I tell him.
Tiger looks over at Sarafine, "Come here...girl. Open your inventory for me."
Sarafine looks scared. She probably has a reason to be. There was something uncomfortable about this Tiger guy. His guys attacked me and he didn't even seem to be concerned about it. He was just talking as though nothing was going on. There was something I didn't like about Tiger. There was something I didn't trust about him.
"Stay where you are," I tell Sarafine.
Tiger looks at her hard, "Listen little boy. You aren't in control here. I want you to drop your weak ass bow and open up your inventory. Both of you."
Sarafine looks at me for leadership. More of this.
I was sweating. Tiger seemed to be getting impatient. He takes a step towards me. There is nowhere for me to go. His men have surrounded me from the back. I'm surrounded! Sarafine will be no help if a fight breaks out right now. She's level 1.
