Chapter One-Attempted Assassination

Johnny's parent threw him a huge birthday party to celebrate him turning 18 years. All the very important people of England including the Queen herself are invited to the party.

Johnny's friends are also invited to the party too. They are the Majestics, the White Tigers, and the All Starz and of course everyone's favorite team, the Bladebreakers.

"Hey birthday boy, you looked cool in that tux. All the girls must be panting after you right now." Teased Enrique as he greeted Johnny who was dressed in a suit of cream white tuxedo.

"Ha, ha. Very funny Enrique. I think it's you that they are panting after." Answered Johnny dryly. Enrique himself was dressed up in a gleaming black tuxedo, which made him, looked much more dashing then usual. Enrique's jokes are always about girls, girls and more girls. Doesn't he ever get bored of girls? But then, he's Enrique, the womanizer.

"Ha, ha. Cheer up, you shouldn't be moping around on your birthday. How about introducing me to those ladies over there?" asked Enrique gesturing towards a bunch of girls giggling and making eyes at the two guys.

"Go and do it yourself. You're the expert. Where's Oliver and Robert?" asked Johnny looking around for his other two friends.

"Oh, they'll be here any moment now. Ah, I must go and greet your parents." Enrique walked off towards Johnny's distinguished looking parents and greeted them politely and charmingly with the airs of a gentleman. Johnny's mother was delighted to see him as she was fond of him.

"Happy Birthday Johnny. Hope you have the best birthday ever." The White Tigers who just came in greeted Johnny.

"Thanks Lee. Come and enjoy yourself guys. Don't mind the other VIP's. you are my guests not my parents." Smiled Johnny. The White Tigers were dressed in formal wear. Quite an unusual sight.

Soon the All Starz came too and greeted him. But there was still no sign of Oliver, Robert and the Bladebreakers. Suddenly, he heard a loud "Happy Birthday Johnny" song behind him and turned to see the MIA(missing in action) guys coming in while pushing a cart with a huge birthday cake on it. The other guests too joined in to sing the birthday song. Johnny couldn't help but feeling warm inside.

"Thanks guys." He grinned happily and blew the candles on the cake. Suddenly a loud 'BANG' sounded from the balcony at second floor at the west wing of the room. He felt a searing pain across his left shoulder. The guests were screaming and panicking as they ran for their lives. He dimly heard his father ordering the guards to catch the assassin when darkness finally overtook him.
