I followed Ryan into the building, still in shock just caught up too much with what was going on around me to actually come to terms with what was going on, but things couldn't get worse could they? I followed Ryan not being able to see clearly as my eyes ajusted to light inside when i walked into him. "Sorry bro, i didn't realise you'd stopped... Ry?" i spoke to him but i might aswell of spoke to a brick wall. Ryan had always been alot like me, laid back, loved to have a laugh, we all gave each other alot of friendly abuse, it's what guy friends had always done, enjoyed gaming together but this didn't seem like the Ryan i knew. I stepped from behind him to look where he was looking. I looked from his shocked face to the bottom of the stairs 5 meters infront of him. I couldn't believe my eyes, it was him again, the guy that had tried to choke me back on the Path but how had he gotten here so fast. But that wasn't what had shocked Ryan, it was what he was holding in his right hand that took my breathe away, mind racing, my heart pounding so hard i felt like it would burst out of my chest at any second.
The boys right hand clutched around the curly red hair of... Ant. Now don't get wrong Ant wasn't a small guy. He wasn't fat but he wasn't just pure muscle. We'd played rugby together alot and he was a force to take down, where as i was always the wingers, get the ball and run as fast as i could down the side of the pitch and hope for the best. Ant actually had the nickname "hummer" due to his size, being build like a Hummer we used to say. Now he was half kneeling on the floor being held up by he hair, barely concious, blood all over his face, scratch marks his arms hung by his sides, his left hand looked broken. Who could of done this to him, i couldn't speak, and even if i could what would i say, one of my best friends i'd known for years was half dead infront of me, in a place i never knew existed, after the guy infront of me had tried to kill and still managed to beat me here after being attacked by a bear. How the hell do you know what to say in that situation. It was the man infront of me that spoke first. "Let me guess, you thought this could stop me while you made it safely here? Is that what your plan was Ryan?", as saying the word 'this' he pulled on Ant's head, causing him to cough up blood.
Ryan stood with his fights clenched at his side, trembling, it could have been fear, it could have been rage, but he didn't speak. Did he know this guy? I finally found my voice addressing the guy infront of me "Look, i don't know who the f*ck you are or what the hell is going on, but one thing i do know is you'd better put my damn friend down before a tear you new ...." i never got to finish my sentence. Ryan held out his hand infront of me and through gritted teeth said, "Don't!" He turned back to the guy infront of him speaking now almost like growl."Damian, i don't know how you got in here but you've made your point, we all know the power of the bat, you've shown Dan he doesn't stand a chance against you, now you can leave, no one has to die here...". So his name was Damian, no wonder, he looked like the spawn of the devil. He seemed to concider what Ryan was saying for second before he burst out laughing. Now the only way i can describe his laugh is one of a mental patient that has realised they are insane but only find it funny.
"How Naive are you all? Do you really think i did this just to prove my power. We both know i'm the strongest around here, probably because i kill all those that even think of getting in my way like this one, but i'm done playing with him now." As Damian said this he flung ant forwards like he was a toy he didn't want anymore as and Landed infront of me. I leaned over feeling for a pulse, he was still alive but barely by the feel of his pulse. How much blood had he lost and what if he had internal bleeding. I took off my school blazer and used it to try and while away the blood to see the damage. While did Damian kept speaking. "Have you not noticed the time is approaching, you children of the day have been idle to long as the dark draws near, you know of which i speak. You're all going to die. One by one and the dark will rule. That stupid bear thought he could hold me off, he merely caught me by surprise. Oh well, he made a nice little chew toy, and served a purpose of proving my point. You're probably wonder how i, a Bat managed to enter your holy grounds? Simple, i just killed the guardian, what was his name? Jasper? He's been dead for 3 days now. He put up quite a fight if i'm honest, even i could heal my leg after the swipe i took from him, but he's gone now. And with only one wolf left... well.... you know how this ends".
I litterally had no idea what he was talking about. The wolf stuff again? A bat? A bear? Were all these codes, i didn't have time to ask before a sadistic grin crossed his face as alls i heard as i looked up was him saying "Game over" and with that he ran forwards, at me... why me? He moved faster than i thought possible, and i give up as he came at me, i'd had a good run, enjoyed life, made some good friends and knew i was going to die one day. His hand drew back as he was a meter away from me, and i thought 'this is it'. What happened next was just, well let me tell you and you'll make up your own mind. As Damian went to strike, Ryan was infront of me hitting him in the face with his right hand, but something was different, it looked like it was covered... by a green shell the size of a football. Damian quite litterally went flying and Ryan turned to me throwing something down at me, a medalian that hand from his neck. "Press it quick before he recovers. Take Ant with you, he will explain it all. We turtles don't age like the rest of you as we watch over time. Tell ant i'm sorry i wasn't fast enough..." as he said this Damian got back up looking like hell itself was unleashing it's fury. "Press it!!!" As he shouted this, Damian appear infront of Ryan, with a blade in hand stabbed into his chest, but i'd pressed the medallion, and that was the last i saw of him and we were gone. In a flash of light just gone.
Now when i think about it, it felt like a cross between falling and floating in watch, like you're in a falling swimming pool. I hit the ground hard along with Ant next to me but i had no idea where i was. It was a wooden cabin, what the actual f*ck!. I got up slowly aching from head to toe, staggering to the window to see where i was. I looked outside, it could be. I heart a weak voice behind me. "Welcome to Canada Dan, you always wanted to come here...." I turned shocked to see Ant leaning against the sofa, and half his wounds seemed to have healed..... "I guess i should to explain to you what's going on... you'd better take a seat... it's a long story and you don't look too easy on your feet as it is"....
