Chapter 10

"W.. What do you want me to do?" His friend's voice was shaky as hell.

"I don't know, I don't know.. just do something, anything." The evil blonde was panicking as the handsome blue-eyed man slowly walked nearer to us.

His friend let go of me and I don't know where he found a wooden plank from but he armed himself with it.

"Stay back, I am warning you." He tried acting tough but even I could see the fear and weakness in his body posture and voice.

Obviously the handsome blue-eyed man wasn't intimidated by the weapon in his possession and he continued walking in his steady space towards us.

"I...I said stay back! I am going to hit you. Please stay back," I was confused if he was trying to threaten the man or pleading with him to spare his life.

"Then hit me." The handsome blue-eyed man said and the way he spoke it felt like he was invincible.

The boy with the wooden plank was hesitating almost like he knew the weapon in his hands wouldn't be of any use to him.

"Go on, hit him! What are you waiting for? Fucking hit him with the goddamn plank!" The evil blonde yelled and that seemed to fuel his friend.

"Ahhhhh!" He gave out like a war cry as he swiped the plank at the handsome blue-eyed man's direction...

But with little or no effort the handsome blue-eyed man just deflected the attack- striking the plank out of his hands and swiftly grabbing hold of his neck.

"Ah.." The evil blonde friend started choking and kicking the air as the handsome blue-eyed man tightened his airspace with his fingers while lifting him up from the earth.

The ease at which he lifted him up with one hand amazed and terrified me at the same time.

Like who is this man???

But the evil blonde looked more terrified than I was, he looked pale like he had just seen a ghost and he slowly started stepping backwards. I think he wants to desert his friends and run and it is almost like the handsome blue-eyed man and I were thinking the same thing because he took his ocean blue eyes to me first before fixing them on the evil blonde. He was still suspending the evil blonde's friend in the air with one hand and it seemed like the boy was running low on air as well as his very life because his struggles and kick were gradually reducing until he was barely kicking but then the handsome blue-eyed man dropped him and he fell, lying motionless on the ground.

I am of the belief that, if the evil blonde wasn't planning on running, the handsome blue-eyed man would have still held the boy's neck till he took his last breath because he had no look of mercy in his eyes at the moment.

"W.. What sort of man are you?" The evil blonde stammered as he kept on retracting his steps.

Now the handsome blue-eyed man had his eyes on him and he was walking to meet him. The evil blonde finally decided to run but he didn't go far as for some strange reasons he stumbled to the floor, he picked himself up and ran again but he kept falling to the floor. He can't even do a simple thing like coordinate his steps?? How strange and after many failed attempts of fleeing and failing, he remained lying on the floor until the handsome blue-eyed man who was only walking caught up with him.

"S..Stay away from me. W.. What do you want?" The evil blonde said clearly frightened of the handsome blue-eyed man who was now towering over him.

"You should have let her go," was his simple reply before he stepped on the evil blonde hand hard, causing a cracking sound to echo out.

"Ahhhhh! My hand!" The evil blonde cried out agonizingly.

However the handsome blue-eyed man was not done; he stepped on the evil blonde's left leg as well and it made that bone cracking sound again.

"Ahhhhhh! My leg!!..."

"I told you I will break your bones," he smirked at him before he turned to face me.

His ocean, crystal blue eyes studying me and I felt very nervous, like extremely nervous but strangely I wasn't scared and I kinda liked the feeling. He motioned slowly towards me and I started dusting my dress. I don't even know why I was doing that. It was dark and he couldn't possibly see the dirt on my gown. I guess it was the nervousness that was making me act strangely. When he came close to me there was this pleasant fragrance that surrounded me.

What is smelling this good? Wait, could it be him?? It seemed so.

"Thank you for saving me. I am forever grateful.." I started thanking him genuinely when he neared me.

"Are you some kind of fool?" He said and that caught me unawares.

Did he just call me a fool? No I must not have heard right.

"Sorry? W.. What?"

"Nevermind," he said, then walked past me. Leaving me a bit confused.

Is he upset with me for something I did? Before I could get the answers to my own questions he had walked quite a distance away from me without even turning back once to check up on me.

Meanwhile

"Did you see what just happened?" The taller man said in disbelief as Damon single handedly destroyed the gang of five with ease.

"Yeah I saw it. Quite impressive," Edwardo said, trying not to show how surprised he is.

"Is he some type of superhero? Cause this is some superhero kind of shit he just did. I mean he took out five men all by himself. Wow," The shorter man said, clearly impressed with Damon's showing.

"Do not flatter him too much, those were kids he beat up. He won't be able to do that to real men like us plus it takes only a bullet to end all that nonsense," Edwardo said.

"True, he won't be able to run all over us as he did those fools. We will smoke him up," the shorter man said.

"Exactly, there is nothing special about him." Edwardo said almost trying to convince himself to believe that.

The truth is that he was actually blown away by what Damon did to those five men and he knew someone has to be special in some way to be able to do that but he just doesn't want to accept that fact.

"So what do we do now? Keep following him?" The taller man inquired.

"I think we have seen enough of him. I am more interested to know who that girl he saved is," Edwardo said, setting his eyes on Jane.

"She is with him, should we continue following them?" The taller man asked.

"Nah, that will be all for today. Let's go," Edwardo said and he walked away with his men following him.

★

"Hey, wait up!"

I quickly hastened my steps to catch up with him because though he was acting kind of strange I feel a lot safer being around him than on my own.

"As I was saying, thanks for saving me back then. I am really thankful and deeply grateful." I spoke to him as I caught up with him but he didn't even turn to face me or take notice of my presence.

He just kept walking, facing straight.

"So what's your name?" I tried to start up a conversation but he kept me quiet.

"Okay..my name is Jane by the way." I smiled awkwardly.

I was feeling a bit weird and awkward talking to myself but I kept on following him and trying to engage him in a conversation but he just kept ignoring me and I became frustrated.

"Hey, what's your problem? Why ain't you saying anything? I have been trying to be nice but you just keep on making me look like a fool." I said with my voice louder than usual but still he said nothing nor paid me any attention.

What??

I didn't know when I held on to his hand to stop him from walking further and then he stopped and turned to look at me. His blue eyes seemed a lot brighter and there was a trace of frown on his face as his eyes drifted to my hand that was holding him. His stares felt like fire on my body, they burned and I quickly let go of his hand.

"Sorry," I apologized as well.

His ocean blue eyes remained resting on my body, especially my face and I found myself swallowing hard as I was becoming really nervous.

"Don't ever do that again." He said calmly but his tone didn't match the fierce look in his eyes.

It was a blue flame.

"Sorry," I apologized like a little kid, totally losing my confidence.

At this point I could barely look him in the eyes nor face though I found his eyes and face very beautiful but at the same time I found it scary.
