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


    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 tond 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 rxed 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.


    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.
