NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 3

As Damian slowly opened his eyes, he blinked. He noticed that he was in his bed.

H-how did I get here?  he thought

He looked at his watch. It was only two minutes to five o clock.

He scratched his head. "Was it all a dream? "

"No, it wasn't." a voice replied.

Damian looked around, alarmed, trying to find out where it came from. And all of a sudden...

RRRRRRINNNNG! His alarm went off. Damian quickly turned it off and went out of the room.

When he arrived at school, Damian walked down the hallways with no problem at all. Until, Buck, now a big buff teen, stopped him in his tracks. He then dragged Damian to a room with two other people.

Damian turned to Buck. "C'mon, man. It doesn't have to be this way." He told him.

Buck smirked. "Yeah right." He then extended his palm. "Now, hand over your cash."

"And what if I refuse to?"

"Then, I guess I'll have to force you to," Buck said and gave the other two a nod. Then they grabbed Damian's arms and held tightly as he struggled to break free.

Buck balled his fists and cracked his knuckles. Then he threw a punch at Damian in the gut. He dug into Damian's pockets and took out a black wallet with a chain attached to it. He opened it and took some cash from it. He then took out a picture of Damian and his parents.

"Aww... you miss your daddy?" Buck taunted. "Well, I've got some news for you: he ain't' coming back."

He held it in front of Damian and began to tear it slowly.

"No! DON'T!" Damian pleaded, but it was too late. Buck tore it in two.

Damian flew into a rage without realizing that something was glowing inside his shirt and his eyes changed color, then air circled around the room.

Buck and his two friends were terrified. Then they realized that they were being carried by the wind and swirled round and round and threw them to the wall unconscious.

As the air around the room began to cool, Damian's eyes turned to normal and were surprised to see the room messed up.

"What happened?" he asked. He saw Buck and his friends unconscious. He took the money Buck stole from him, his wallet and the torn picture in his pocket and quickly went out of the room.

A while later, it was recess. He sat on a bench and staring into space while his food was left on the table uneaten.

Then his friends, Zack, Jeremy, Liz, and Christine noticed him and sat down beside him. Jeremy waved a hand in front of his face. Damian blinked.
