Matt was shocked, he's still trying to understand what happened, that moment when the thugs surrounded him his mind was not quiet, Matt wanted quiet, he wanted them to kill him, end the noises, end the pain.
"My name is stick" Matt stood up, the smell of blood was all over the place, matt could hear the thug's breathing, one of them is bearly because of the knife he has in his stomach. "I will visit you tomorrow at the church, don't tell anyone about this, this will be our little secret, now go!"
Matt ran out of the alley way and got back to the church. "Matt, where have you been?" The priest asked "i just wanted to walk outside a little bit" Matt said, for some reason he listened to that Stick guy, why?.
"Well come inside, its dangerous walking at these kind of hours in this city"
Matt couldn't sleep, he still has nightmares about his dad, he can still hear his dad's last words echoing in his mind"im sorry Matty". He woke up , sweaty and confused, he started crying, he feels like god hates him, that god decided to make him blind and kill jack, he feels alone in this world.
"Matt wake up" a nun said, Matt smelled a familiar smell, Stick, the smell of blood is there. "This is Stick, he will help you recover from your losts ".
"I'll let you both talk" the nun said, she left the room
"Get up matt, lets get out of this shit hole" Stick whispered to Matt
"So how are you going to help me?"
Matt asked, they are now outside the church
"Im going to train you Matt, the nun thought im some sort of thearpist but no, I don't give a shit about what happened to your dad, he is gone and you cant change that"
Matt was mad, who is this old blind man thinks i am, Matt thought. Matt wanted to beat up that old man, but he stayed.
"You said you're going to train me, for what"
"Im going to make you a warrior Matt, you are not some random kid anymore, you are special, you got a gift"
"What gift ?"
"Your blindness, its a gift, you are better off not seeing anymore, you think you are weak because you cant see but no, you are stronger than ever. Now the question is: are you going to use that gift or waste it?"
They both stopped at an alley way, there's an entrance for an underground basement under a building, they stopped infront of the stairs of the entrance to the basement.
Matt didn't realize how much time has passed, they walked for a couple of good minutes but for it was seconds
"So are you going to live the rest of your life as a pussy or a warrior?"
Matt thought, alot, what does he mean when he says a warrior ?, Matt thinked , he's just an old mean man, why did he save me from those thugs yesterday?
"So, are you going to stand there silently like a statue or are going to say someth-"
"Train me"Matt said, some how determined of his choice.
"Good"
They went down the stairs to the basement.
Stick opened the door to the room, the place was full of weapons, most of them are melee weapons, some are hanged on the walls some are just lying on a desk. The smell of sweat and blood stenched the place, Matt was disgusted, he started coughing
"Yeah you will get used to it" Stick said while walking, he picked up some wooden sticks.
He started throwing them onto Matt
"Hey what are you doi-" he threw a stick to Matt's head
"Come on, fight back, you've been bullied , beaten, and left alone" stick said while still throwing sticks at Matt " i can feel your rage,use it, stop me, COME ON!" He threw another stick at Matt but this time Matt caught it, he charged at Stick, yelling at the process. Matt swinged the stick around but Stick just dodged every attack "control your rage, use it, dont let it consume you"
"SHUT UP!!!!" Matt yelled still swinging his stick around.
Stick caught Matt's arm and pushed Matt to the ground
"Not good enough, focus!" Matt got up still holding the stick he took another stick from the ground and charged at Stick still swinging his hands around without control.
Stick caught Matt's arm again, Matt tried to hit him again with the other arm but Stick caught it too.
"This is fucking ridiculous, Matt, control your rage, focus on your enemy"
He threw Matt to the ground again. Tears rolled down Matt's eyes, he wants to kill Stick, he's breathing heavily, his just another bully, Matt thought, just another bully, Matt calmed down he closed his eyes, and took a deep breath and charged at Stick but this time his swings were more fluid, and faster.
Stick dodged his attacks, "good" stick said while still dogding Matt's attacks" in the end maybe it was a good idea bringing you here" .
Stick started attacking back but Matt doged his attacks with flips and slides.
Then matt actually hit Stick in the face, "impressive" Stick said, while whipping the blood from his nose, "for a newbie you're doing well, i think that's enough"
Matt was surprised himself that he actually hit Stick, he was proud of himself.
"Now, about yesterday: those thugs that attacked you were people who are working for a man named the Fixer, a very dangerous crime dealer."
"What did you do to the thugs?" Matt asked
"Dont worry about them, what you need to worry is the thugs who will replace them, the Fixer wants you dead, try your best to stay away from the streets, especially at night."
"So how am i going to walk back to the church" Matt asked
"Who said you're going to WALK back?!".
Matt and stick went to the roof of the building.
"YOU WANT ME TO JUMP ?!" Matt yelled
"Shut your mouth and focus on me" Stick walked backwards and then he jumped to the other building. "Come on Matty, jump!" Stick yelled from the other building.
"I-i cant, i will die"
"Stop whining and jump already!"
Matt walked back, he's insane, he thought to himself, he got to the other edge of the rooftop, then he started running, and then he jumped, then he landed on the other rooftop, "nice one , kid" Stick said "come on lets keep moving!"
Matt felt alive and excited,he haven't felt that way in a while.
He ran to the edge of that building and jumped to the other, he followed stick's foot steps.
Then Matt jumped to another building doing a flip in the process and then he landed near Stick.
"Show off " Stick said, Matt giggled and continued following Stick.
Then they got to the alley way where they first met. "Come back tomorrow, kid"
Matt felt happy and confident. When he got to his room in the church, he was able to fall asleep.
