NIGHTBLADE

Chapter 22

Two days after the unfortunate incident in the airport, Damian continued to live with Uncle Terry and Victor until things started to settle down.

But every night Damian would sneak out of the apartment and start his midnight patrol as NightBlade. He jumped from building to building hoping to find anything suspicious going on around.

"Why do I have a feeling that we're drawn into this place?" Damian thought to himself,

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine and looked around. He saw a lady being chased by a creature in a black robe. She ran as fast as she could but she tripped and fell to the floor. Just as the creature raised its scythe, --SLASH!!-- it vanished into thin air along with the weapon it was holding and there stood NightBlade withdrawing his sword. He then helped the girl stand up and the next thing she knew she was in front of the police station.

NightBlade reappeared on top of a roof where there's a garden on it. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with his napkin as he sat down on a bench to relax.

"Man, I'm beat," he said, and he yawned. "And sleepy"

"It's best if we head back to the apartment." Neon told him

NightBlade stood up and stretched his arms "Yeah. I'll do that after one last trip around this place." he said. He then cast the winds and flew into the night sky.

As he flew around, he heard what appears to be a car screeching. He looked down and saw an SUV swerving left and right avoiding the other cars in the way. He also noticed that the driver is trying to step on the brakes but the vehicle didn't seem to stop at all. To make matters worse, three girls are inside the car screaming.

NightBlade quickly dived down and cast the winds around the SUV causing it to float but the wheels continue to spin. When he went to the vehicle and shook the key out, the wheels stopped spinning. He then carefully parked the vehicle on the side.

He opened the door and the three girls slowly stepped outside while the police came to attend them. Fortunately, none of them were hurt.

One of the police officers approached NightBlade and gave him a gesture telling him to come with them for questioning. However, he refused to come with them and vanished into thin air before they could apprehend him.

NightBlade then reappeared at the roof of the apartment he is staying in and was exhausted.

"Man, what a long night," he muttered, as he changed back into Damian. He quietly made it to the window, went inside, and got to bed before anyone noticed.

The next day, he woke up early and could not sleep. He had his breakfast, a change of clothes, and decided to go out for a walk.

Although the sky is cloudy and the wind is blowing around, Damian was just on the sidewalk looking around.

Suddenly, he accidentally bumped into someone and they both fell to the floor. Damian quickly helped her stand up.
