My teeth clicked together as my head snapped back. My body described a circle as I flew through the air. As soon as my feet clutched the ground I was off, racing away. I was at the disadvantage here, and I knew it. He was just too fast for me.
"Hehe. You've gotta be faster than that to get away from me, punk."
I gasped and glanced at my right. It was him, gliding easily alongside me. He even had the nerve to run backwards. I moved my jaw sorely and rubbed it where he had hit me moments before. In an instant he was standing directly in front of me. I ran into him and slumped down to a sitting position.
Man, this guy is solid! I thought to myself as I tried to figure a way out of this.
The boy smiled and unfolded his arms.
"So you're the idiot that tried to run, huh?" he chuckled haughtily. "How old are you, anyway? You don't even look like you're fifteen." He tried squinting through my mask and goggles. I smiled to myself. I was extremely lucky I had chosen to wear them.
I leapt backwards through the air in an attempt to get away, but he cuahgt me in midair and pinned me down roughly. He held both of my wrists above my head in one hand, and the other was reaching for my face. His coarse fingers pulled at the fabric covering my mouth and tugged it past my chin. Now he grasped my goggles and pushed them onto my forehead.
His smirk froze on his face.
"Oh, what is it?" I asked sarcastically. "Didn't expect me to be a girl?" I reached up quickly and brushed my hand against his, skin on skin.
He instantly slowed back down to normal speed, and I could track his movements with my eyes. Before he had seemed twitchy, like a bird. It was my turn to smirk.
I moved behind him in an instant, causing him to fall forward from my sudden disappearance.
"What the…?" he looked back at me in shock.
"Too bad you saw my face. I can't leave any witnesses." I pulled a small knife from my pocket and raced toward him with my newly acquired speed.
