Chapter 10: The Man Of The Hour
I ran through the streets, passing dead bodies and burning houses. It all seemed so familiar. Just like my home town. I remember the horror I felt. I remember the hatred I had. I remember where I watched my father die. The heat was intense. I didn't''t care. I trudged through the streets as I came up to an open space. It must have been the town square. I walked in a little, looking around. That's when I saw him. He was standing there, holding the same sword he used to cut down my father. I stepped closer as he turned around, smiling.
"Hey! I remember you! It's been a while, huh?"
"You know why I'm here..."
"Awww, you still mad about that?"
"......"
"I was only doing what I was told to, you understand right?"
"Told to? You're working for someone?"
"Opps..." I tightened the grip on my sword, getting mad.
"Who do you work for?" He laughed
"I'm not gonna say anything."
"I'LL KILL YOU IF YOU DON'T TALK!!!" He sighed lazily, grinning at me.
"Sheesh, still got that temper. I remember when you first said that to me. Remember? It was right after I killed your daddy." He laughed evilly as his annoying grin twisted into a devilish smile. The more he said the more I hated him. I raised my sword and rushed him. I sliced hard, but he stepped to the side, laughing.
"Gah hah hah hah hah!!!! You'll have to do better than that!" I attacked him without mercy, slicing as hard and fast as I could. But he was much faster than I remember. He kept dodging my attacks over and over again. He laughed again. I jumped up and came down hard with my sword, cutting the air in half. He stepped back, the ground in front of him splitting. He laughed again. I was sick of that horse laugh. I came up and swung as hard as I could in a quick blur of motion. I must have caught him by surprise, because he jumped back again, stumbling a little. He looked at me, not smiling anymore. His crisp uniform had a slash along the front. I could tell he was getting angry. He gripped his sword and glared at me fiercely.
"Little boy, you'll pay for that..." I stood up and glared back at him. Had I found his weakness? I decided to test it. I smirked a little, laughing softly.
"You're getting old. To think that a slob like you defeated a great warrior like my father. " He face grew redder and redder. I laughed more. Veins started showing up on his bald head. I laughed more. He was blind with rage. I laughed more still. He erupted in a fit of fury, rushing at me with speed I've only seen in my dreams. I jumped to the side, stabbing at him as I tried to roll out of his way. A split second later, I was kneeling on one knee, looking up at him. He turned around, his face as red as the flames around us. I looked down at myself. My jacket was cut, but I was unharmed. I laughed at this. I looked up at him. He came after me again. I rolled away. He sliced at me, I blocked. He stabbed at me, I dodged. I swung at him and caught him in the arm. I watched the sleeve of his uniform split as blood seeped through slowly. I jumped back, watching him. He stared at his arm. It was just a scratch, but now he knew that I wasn't kidding around.
"Well, I guess you're a real swords man now..."
"About time you realized that. I was hoping you would before I killed you." He laughed a little.
"So that's why you were following me? You came all this way just to kill me?" I smirked.
"It's only fair. You killed me long ago. You took everything away from me. I'm not gonna just take that lying down. I've worked too hard to lose to you."
"Well, let's just get down to the real fight then, shall we?" He stood in a strange stance, one I've not seen before. I held my sword in front of me and laughed.
"I've waited for this for way too long. After I kill you, I'll go after your boss." He nodded, smiling evilly.
"IF you kill me..." I rushed at him and swung again and he countered. Thus the battle I'd wanted for years had begun.
