NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 16

Later that night, after Damian freshened up in the bathroom, he went to bed and closed his eyes.

However, not even a minute has passed, his eyes shot open as he couldn't stop thinking about what just happened.

"You might as well calm down." Neon told him,

"I know that." Damian whispered, "Although I can't believe that just happened."

"I find it very odd that someone would agree to your request so soon." Neon said,

Damian thought about it for a moment, "I guess you could say that..."

"Also, something doesn't feel right during our fight with that man in the leather jacket." Neon added, "It's like he wanted to be defeated."

"Yeah." Damian said, "If only I asked him sooner."

"We can talk about it in the morning." Neon told him,

Damian agreed and lied down on his bed until he finally slept.

Just when he thought one of his nightmares are gone, another followed and it gets worse.

In his dream, he found himself standing in the middle of the desert and it was dark. Then, a gust of wind blew past him and when it disappeared, he saw what appears to be a man wearing a robe with the hood covering his face, and looking at something far away.

Until the man turned to Damian's gaze. Damian noticed himself sinking to the ground. As he tries not to sink, he noticed that the man's eyes were glowing green.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of loud beeping until everything went black.

Damian woke up, saw that his alarm clock was at maximum volume, and turned it off.

What a hell of a dream you're having, Damian. he thought to himself.

Aunt Sally came into the room, "You alright, Damian?"

He nodded, "I'm all good."

"Oh. Okay." Aunt Sally said, "Also before you go, could you please put the water jug inside?"

"Sure thing, Aunt Sally."

"Thanks, sweetie," she said before closing the door.

Damian closed his eyes and exhaled deeply. He then got up, got dressed, and did his aunt's request before leaving.

But before he rode on his bike, he remembered that he forgot to bring the medallion with him. He went back into the house, grabbed it before his aunt could find it, and closed the door behind him.
