CHAPTER TWO: SAVIOUR
Normal POV
Rei walked through the dark, empty street away from the airport. He couldn't think of anywhere else for him to go. He wasn't welcome in his village in China and he had hardly any money left so he couldn't afford to stay in a hotel.
Since the Bladebreakers had felt so last. He had come to Russia knowing Kai would help him. He didn't know why but he'd always felt safe around Kai; he wasn't attracted to him, Kai had always been a big brother to him.
While he'd been thinking he'd walked down an alley, unaware of the two shadows following him until…
He was roughly shoved up against the wall. The scent of drink drifted to his nose and his face wrinkled in disgust.
"Look at what we have here Stan, a wee kiddie." His words were slurred which proved he was drunk.
"I'm not a KID!" Rei snapped only to be slapped across the face by the other guy, Stan. Rei looked at the two. They were both men in their thirties at least Stan had short blonde hair and cold, hard eyes while the other had black hair that was invisible against the night and a thick, barely visible neck.
"You need to learn some manners punk, and I'm the one to teach you." With that he punched him in the stomach making him double over in pain. He then twisted his arms behind his back while the other guy punched his stomach and face. Rei pulled free and kneed the guy the guy in front of him in the groinal area and then spun around and slammed his fist into Stan's shocked face.
"You little…" he hissed. Rei panted slightly but stood his ground. The first guy kicked him in the stomach making him fall to his knees, clutching it in pain. He was then thrown to the ground by a blow to the head.
He felt dizzy and was slowly falling into unconscious when he saw the guy called Stan pull a knife out of his pocket. 'So this is how it ends. Least this way I won't be a bother to anyone.'
Just then he heard Stan say "Well what do we have here, another little kid?" There was the sound of a fist meeting a face and then the angry snarl "You asked for it."
There was a little more noise but no words to tell him what was happening. He heard the sound of running feet and opened his eyes. His attackers were running from the alley and several feet away from him stood another person.
He had fiery red hair and a slim figure. He wore dark baggy trousers and a black jacket. Rei recognised him from somewhere and as the figure turned to walk away he whispered.
"Tala?"
