---- Was everyone this good? Because this man here is giving me inferiority complex.

Who is he really? We went on like this, I continue to dodge and evade his attacks, relying on little more than our instinct.

He was able to land a blow or two but I recovered.

At some points I felt like he was holding back but I must be mistaken.

Why would he do that? Thear other recruits grunting and stumbling, some were even down to verbal abuse, but my partner remains silent No matter what I said to him...

he doesn't speak.

With every second that passed my senses only sharpened, each evasion building my confidence.

It looked a rhythm, a dance that we were performing in the darkness, and soon I started to understand the movement of my unseen partner before me.

Then, with no warning, Scout changed tactics.

Now, he called, partners switch.

Attackers, ---- ee = defend! Defenders, strikeand listen.

You are each other's test.

My pulse jumped, muscles tightening as I prepared to attack.

Yes baby.

That's what I have been waiting for so long.

Icracked my neck to either side to smirk.

T listened, trying to catch the soft scuffle of his feet, waiting for him to shift defensively.

But he doesn't move.

He was like a shadow.

Dead silent on the feet.

Too relaxed for his own good.

She lunged, sending my fist toward where I thought his shoulder might be.

But a quick rustle told me he d sidestepped my move, evading just in time.

Fuck! attack again.

And again relentlessly.noveldrama

My rage takes the best of me.

But I wasnt even able ---- to touch an inch of his skin.

And then after crazy attacking at one point I was lost.

Standing there still, not able to identify where he stood.

My breathing was heavy and my own hearts pounding was the only thing I could hear.

My body was burning in adrenaline but I didn't have a vent out.

Thad no idea where he had vanished to.

Tam tired of this cat mouse game.

Why don't you show yourself! I grunt, frustrated and that's when I feel a presence looming behind me.

Before I could even turn around and strike, I feel one arm wrapping around my waist and the other locking around my neck.

Shhh That's the only thing he says and I gulp as I feel his hot breath fan behind my neck.

His nose, I feel him trailing it up and down my nape.

I squirm, I try to get out of his lock.

---- eee = But he kept me pinned Panick hits me like anything.

Tam teleported back to that night those rogues tried to force me and suddenly the entire world stood still I couldn't breathe He could kill me right here.

Scout....

Why isn't he stopping this? Can't he see.

Before I know dark clouds start entering my vision.

My heart...

Its going to break out of my chest.

Help.

I wanted to scream but just like that night it felt like I was paralysed.

I couldn't move.

I was trapped.

And then just like that I surrender to the darkness, letting my body fall limp in this strangers arms.
