Gifted

chap 5

After Sophia left the party she arrived at her apartment just to fine a half beating William at her door "Oh my god. What happened to you?" she run towards him. William straggled to speak "I...Is...is Aprils fools day" William stood up laughing "That's not funny dude" she opened her apartment door and entered and William fallowed her in "Anyway I did got beating up for real though" Yeah as if I will believe you

"Less me more you, I have been waiting for you like two hours where were you. Wait, please don't tell me you went out in date with Salim?" she Smiled "And if I say yes" she stoke her hair sitting on a couch "Why wouldn't you go with that man along?" you could almost feel the despair in William's voice "You should site down and tell me what's your problem with him, you speak of him as thought you know him better then me... almost to a personal level" mystery novels were one of her favored novels to read,and this was starting to look like a one to her 'Lovely' curiosity sparkled in her eyes, but was able to brushed of in time.

William took a deep breath and sate down on the other end of the couch she is sitting on "Listen..." he said after a sigh. "You are correct I know him in a personal level. He...he an I were one side of the same coin before I met you, but something happened between us that I don't feel like talking about... all I am saying is I know him better then you, and I know that he doesn't see you as a potential friend or a lover perhaps, but as a tool..." He sigh again

"So as a friend who really cares about you I suggest that you stay away from him" Sounds interesting, a tool he says huh, Sophia thought to her self. "Thanks for the warning dude, but is time for you to leave my apartment I have a lot of work tomorrow" She isn't even trying to fake that she agrees with me...

William left the apartment after taking two apples with him and trying to talk Sophia more about Salim, but she ended up kicking him out. After William left, Sophia had more time to change and take shower eat some ice cream and get all of her equipment out. A 40 inch tablet for art, 5 books about philosophy, 10 books about Alchemy, 6 books about poetry, 2 Romance/Fantasy Novels more food and drinks, to night is just one of many. Accept Romance novels weren't her think. "What the heck is wrong with me, romance really"

Soon after being kicked out William roomed the street heading to his apartment which wasn't that far from Sophie's one. Oddly their were more people out then the usual tonight, he kept on walking despite all the signs that pointed out, the targeted on his back.

"He you" a voice called after him. He stopped and looked back but all he can see is empty side walk. Oddly enough none of the people he passed by wasn't were their anymore "I must be seeing things" He thought and turned around but low and behold. Out of no were their in front of him stood a tall big man, with red,blood like eyes. William stumbled backwards "You most be the famous William Sharif?" me famous? "Who is asking?" in a moment the entire street filled with people "We are Miska, and we have a message for you Mr. Sharif" A murder lust hovered in the air like a thick fog, William's options seemed limited Run or fight, but in either scenario's he would end up dead or badly injured.

"I'll have you know I have a black belt in many styles of fighting,don't let your numbers fool you" maybe that will scare them "One man army huh," all of the men laughed at the word "one man army" 

"You can be as skilled as you want boy, but by the end of this moon night I will be stand on top of your dead body" okay that totally didn't work. Well, William thought. Perhaps is time "RuN" 

the street lights went out as he through an object that knock all electronics out  and darkens covered the hole street 

In San chen family mention

Almost out side the city a birthday party die after the guest left. Salim sate facing his sister in a game of a chest both stared with anticipation "Listen I do sincerely apologize for being late" Eliza said "I need a good excuse sister not an apology" Salim responded trying to control himself "I met an old friend and I lost track of time" Salim scuffed the table. "You lost track of time because of a friend, but of course why not I mean that friend is more important then the party I have been planning for the past two months..." Salim's anger tried to break though, but he managed to put on fake smile like always.

"Wipe that fake smile of your face Salim, we both no that you invited business people to discuss business with not to celebrate my birthday. Heck most of the time you do my birthday it feels like advertisement then a birthday party" Eliza didn't hold back her anger "I wasted a lot of time on this party, how dare you call it fake. suppose it was fake, but what kind of a birthday personal comes late to their own party?" still with a fake profile "I found a genuine people who really cared about my birthday not fake" Salim advanced with the last chest peace "Well I take a good care of your... what did you call them genuine friend" Eliza stood up "Don't you dare touch them Salim"

"Checkmate"

7:00 AM Morning

Sophie's phone ringtone took over the entire apartment, and in the process of search she falls from her bad crashing on the ground "Aww" she picked her phone with hand as she raped the other on her back "Hello" she answers after 3 more Aww's "Good morning sleepy head" "Hey don't call me by that... wait S-Salim?" "None other then he himself " "how did you find my private number?" "I hacked your phone last night. Anyway assuming that you just woke up, I suggest that you watch the News" NEWS

An a screen appeared on her wall she moved and sate on her bed. REPORTER "As of this morning the police have been trying to find out what happened to William Sharif who was found almost beating to death. Doctor's believe that Mr. Sharif should have die but was saved before who ever attack him could finished him. We believe that he is the 5th person to be targeted like this in this months across Silanda. As of yet we have no aware of his status but we all pray that he makes it alive"

"Sophie... hey are you their?" silence "I...I will call you... back" before she knew she found herself in her car driving. "why did I kicked him out, I...I could have been a good friend and let him sleep on my couch at least. After she arrived at the hospital she found his room after almost entering every room and being followed by 5 security guards which non of them could catch her.

Finally she found him in room 205 located on the thread floor "William..." she run towards him but was stopped by 10 nurses "Ms. Edward, please stay came" she breathed hardly as she state down on a chair that was provided by one of the nurses "Tell me doctor what happened" the doctor drugged a chair close to her. "Listen Ms. Edward, your friend is in bad condition. He was stabbed several times and was beating really badly, but were able to stabilize him for know..." after that the doctors words become slow and got lost in her thoughts.

Who could have done this and why?. Who ever did this didn't wanted to kill him but left him to die slowly. If the attacker is out there, I must find them. one after the thoughts came and went so did time.  

"Ms. Edward" "Sorry doctor I... was lost in thought..."

"I could see that. Anyway you don't look that good yourself Sophia, why don't you go home and rest, you haven't left the hospital sense yesterday. I will take a good care of him" "I personally prefer to stay he if isn't a problem" the doctor sigh "Stepparent as always child, huh"

 Doctor Najib Ahmed. Sophie's professor, when she was a medical student, and now the head doctor of Zangwill hospital.
