Leila wanted to fight, but before she could even push him off of her, He had her restrained and pinned down on her arms. Overwhelmed with emotion she could feel the tears running down her face, she just wanted this nightmare to end. Leila saw his eyes grew wide as though in comprehension.

"You don't have to cry...I'm not going to do whatever it is you're thinking" he whispered in her ear, they were literally body to body..and Leila felt him pushing up on her

"ho-how can i...be-be-believe yo-you?" Leila asked sobbing, her hands against his chest in a defensive position

"Because that dress would have been off of you already by now..." he retorted back in a slow whisper as his hand pulled at her dress roughly as though he were about to take it off, Leila gasped, holding on to it...His voice, why did his voice sound so familiar? She felt as though she knew him from somewhere, but she couldn't put her finger on where..

"Who are you?" Leila asked before she could stop herself

"A man with many faces" Cut Throat replied, getting off of her slowly

He moved to his side of the bed, closing his eyes, Leila deliberately moved right to the other end of the bed, as far as possible from him without actually falling off.

Cut Throat smiled to himself, he was amused by her...and more by himself. It was the first time for him to have a woman in his bed, and he quite liked it. He stared at her for a long time while she was sleeping. If it were under normal circumstances, he would definitely call himself obsessed...a stalker...a creep even, but Cut Throat was fast finding out that when it came to Leila Adams, he was definitely loosing grip with what normal should be. Should he yank the chain and pull her to his side...just for the fun of it? He smiled to himself, boy would he love to see her eyes open up wide in fear again. Cut Throat did it instinctively without even thinking further and pulled the chain hard. He heard Leila scream, before feeling her soft body collide onto his.

"And then he just started spinning or something....I'm not really sure what it was...it almost looked like those videos that you find on the internet, but on speed ...and he was faassst....then next thing you know the guys just started gushing out blood from their throats going crrrreee crreeee " Eduardo finished in excitement making a strange strangling noise, whilst holding his throat dramatically.

They were back in class. All the C40 trainees were hurdled around James, Eduardo and Vikram who were telling their story to the rest of their classmates on their excursion with the top C40.

"Whoow..." Park min ho said impressed, "And then what did happen next ?"

Eduardo looked at James and Vikram beaming at each other in pride.

"And then...when the others fell on the floor, another one of the guys came to tackle him , they basically had all surrounded him...and that's when he went super duper FAST !" James said

"He just started piercing them with his knife !" Vikram added on

"Was he really stabbing them or more like carving them out?" Eduardo asked out loud in wonder,

"Bro- I really don't know what he was doing, but within seconds those dudes were flat out on the floor with blood gushing out of their throats" James said in bewilderment, continuing "You guys should see what he can do with a knife.........its not like something you learn in training...its more like a gift....or should I say...more like an ....an...an.. art" James said struggling to find words to express
