Alexander was not having a good day. It started something like this...
His cousin was hosting party. He was forced to invite Alexander even though they did not get along. Alexander sat in a corner while his cousin's high school friends chatted and ate. Alexander was sick of life. He caused trouble wherever he went. Even if he did not mean to. When he was in 4th grade he somehow caused the bus to do a flip and land in a nearby pool. When he was in kindergarten he had punched a boy who ended up getting 3 broken ribs. And another time when he was in 2nd grade he had almost crushed his classmates when he somehow unleashed a rhino from his cage. Only Alex knew he had done it . The zookeepers blamed he rhino because the its cage was ripped apart.
Herbert (his cousin) was chatting with a group of girls. Herbert liked to show of his wealth. Alexander was always looked down upon by all his family members, who were all businessmen and businesswomen. He wanted to become a martial artist. He exceled in every martial art he had learned so far . He had mastered Greco-Roman wrestling, karate and muay thai till his 14th birthday.
Alex was looking around. He held his chocolate milkshake and walked out on to the beach. It was afternoon time. Alex was staring out in the ocean. There was no wind. Not even a breeze. The ocean was calm. He saw a couple siting close to the ocean. A guy with black hair was sitting with a blonde girl. Alex looked around. There was no one else. He went back inside. As he entered, he was greeted by a pizza to the face. A food fight had ensued when he was out. It was a sunny afternoon. Herbert's house was right next to the beach. And it was a pool party. Alexander decided he should leave for home. He found his aunt watching TV in her room. He told her and immediately left, but not before washing his face. Alex came from a rich family. His mother was a businesswoman. She was the only one who did not want Alex to join the corporate world. She wanted to keep him away from all the politics and backstabbing that came with fame. She always told Alex to pursue his dreams. Alex wanted to clear his mind. The party was too flashy and almost every girl in the party was trying to flirt with him. He did not understand why. Compared to Herbert, he looked like a monkey. Maybe it was because of his rich background.
He asked his driver, Sherman, to drop him at the gym and go home. Working out always eased his mind. But the gym was locked. He took out the keys and unlocked the door. Yes, he was so freaking rich that he had got a gym for his 13th birthday.
In his 16 year old life, only his mother had supported him in his dream. He walked into the gym and immediately heard two voices.
"Lord Eros would be happy", said the first voice.
Eros... hang on a minute . Isn't he that lovey-dovey guy from Greek mythology? Alexander continued to listen to the conversation. he hid behind the wall that opened into the gym right next to the washroom
"But first we shall assemble the other prisoners. If we take only one, the I am sure he will not be pleased", said a different voice.
Alex peeked in. He did not believe what he saw.
Two huge figure were standing next to the treadmill with a body lying at there feet These things did not look human at all. They had white skin with a bluish tint on them. They had jagged skin, Kinda like Darwin from X men. They were at least 1\2 a meter taller the him. Suddenly, he heard the door behind him open. He ducked into the washroom. He heard heavy foot steps and the voice of a girl. Alex could make out she was gagged.
"Caught this on following us. I am suspecting she is not alone", the 3rd figure said. Alex could not process what was going on. Eros, these giants in his gym, this all seemed like a very bad dream.
"Lets kill this one" ,said one giant, "Let the other be shipped to Eros." Alex burst out of the washroom and came face to face with the giants. "You are not gonna kill any body" ,he said in a loud voice.
"What do we have here, a saviour for the damsels in distress?", said the first giant, chuckling. This boiled Alex's blood.. People had laughed at him his whole life because of his ADHD.
All the monster started laughing. Alex ran, jumped and punched the one in the middle right in the face. The remaining were taken aback. Alex punched the second one in the stomach and was about to hit the third one, who caught his hand and threw him across the room. Alex flew right into the wall and crumbled on the floor. The monster lumbered towards Alex. The impact had dazed his vision. He had made a crater in the wall. Alex got his foot under him and assumed his fighting stance. The giant raised his hand and charged towards him. Right before the giant smashed him he ducked and delivered an uppercut."Aaghh",the giant stumbled behind dazed for a moment. Alex started throwing a series of blows at the giant. Uppercut, left kick, left punch , right punch, another uppercut. Alex started to feel he could take on all the 3 giants. But suddenly the monster caught And Alex knew he was out of luck. The giant started smashing him around like a doll. Alex felt the first two impacts but then his senses went numb. The giant flung him across the gym again. This time Alex did not have the strength to get up again. He lay inside a crater. His vision was blurred and he was breathing heavy. He saw the giant along with his two friends closing in on him. He knew this was his end. But suddenly he heard the window of his gym break. Something barged in. Something that looked like a black horse...with wings. Before Alex could interpret anything else, he passed out.
