I got up from my bed and looked around. A musty cell without windows and a metal door that kept me from the hallway which looked like a prison.
The metal door open with a loud creek. A tall muscular man looked towards my direction and said:
"Get ready kid, you're next."
I stood up and walked towards him. He placed a chained collar cuff on me that had intricate runes similar design to the wrist bands I have on me.
The man walked while pulling the chain on the collar cuff, walked for a few minutes till we reached a large open area where the ground was sand with stains of blood here and there. The man removed the cuff, pushed me forward, and left. When he went back inside, the gate closed leaving me surrounded by large concrete looking walls as tall as 30 feet.
I saw a man come into the same place I'm in through the opposite gate, but he had no cuffs around his neck or wrists. He smiled and lifted his hands while the crowd all around us cheered for him. He looked over.
"Little boy! Are you ready die!"
I just stared at him with an indifference look.
"Little boy! Seems like you scare! HAHAHAHAHA!"
I just stared at him with an indifference look.
"Why aren't talking? You stained pants? HAHAHAHAHA!"
The whole crowd laughed with him.
I just stared at him with an indifference look.
"H-HAHAhahehe. You scare me?" (You scared of me?)
I just stared at him with an indifference look.
"Uh um- ahem! Get ready die by iron nails!"
He elongated his nails to half a foot and changed to a steel color.
"I just stared at him with an indifference look.
His smiled wavered a bit while a drop of sweat fell from his forehead. Even the crowd was getting uncomfortable by my silence.
"F-fine I'm coming! GAAAAAAAAAH!!"
He charged at me with his nails ready to slice and stab. I just stood there staring at him.
He started to sweat more and more the closer he got to me. He was starting to hesitate for a second but then ignored his fears and charged at me with all he got.
He sliced down aiming to slice my head first. I strode left barely enough to evade the slice. His other hand was about to go for the stab but I punched right at his Adam's apple.
He suddenly stopped his stabbing trajectory and gasped for air while holding his throat with his nails retracted. I didn't waste time and gave him a right hook to his chin so strong that his jaw was completely dislocated and seemed that it was about to detach from his face.
"G-GAHHHHHHHH!"
A Similar to the scream he did before but it was full of fear and dread. Good.
He took a step back and was about to escape, but I reached my hand one last time and grabbed his tongue that was dangling above his floppy jaw. Holding it tightly, I pulled.
"G-Guh-? AHHHHHHHhhhh ah aa-."
He flopped to the ground making his last sound before he died.
The whole crowd was silent only for a moment.
"What a waste. I thought he would finally die."
"When is that monster going to die?"
"I'm leaving."
The crowd little by little left their seats till there was only one left. A man sat on the highest seat in a VIP room looking at me with his golden eyes. He had an indifferent face just like mine and black hair like mine too.
'Father.'
After a while, the same man as before walked in and put the neck cuff again and pulled me away to my cell again.
'Patience. They only need to make one mistake. A minor one. Patience.'
Suddenly, I woke up in my bed again. This time I was back in my house in the academy. The whole room was filled with my intent shattering the windows and cracking a few furniture around me.
'Another nightmare. He is dead already. Calm down. Calm down.'
I stood up and looked around.
'I have to buy more replacements again.'
After getting ready, I left for my class.
'If he is still alive, maybe the future would be different.'
I arrived at my class and opened the door right when the bell rung.
