Connor had learnt never to be fully asleep, always alert even in rest he'd heard something and reacted quickly jumping out of his place of rest and towards his attacker suddenly stopping as he realized what was going on.
"Sorry."
He had Matt pinned against a wall an elbow against his throat lifting him slightly his feet dangling. Gently lowering and giving him room to breathe. Slightly embarrased he turned his gaze to the floor.
"I was trying to sneak out without waking you. Wont be trying that again soon."
Matt said as he rubbed his neck. Picking up a satchel that had fallen off his shoulder when Connor attacked him.
"I'll be gone a couple hours, gotta go to Tafe⦠like College but not. I'll be back soon. There's food in the fridge, just don't touch any of the magic stuff and I'll be back soon."
Connor nodded he was still kind of embarrased about attacking the only person he knew in this country.
"Thanks Matt, for everything."
Matt gave a cocky nod, the whole attack being far in the past to him.
"No problem, and if you're good I'll take you patrolling tonight."
On that note Matt walked out the door shutting it behind him leaving Connor to his own devices. Connor was up anyway so he decided to stay that way pulling random pieces of clothing out of his suitcase. He looked around the apartment it was pretty normal except inside a closet that Matt had left open. Books, Crystals, Talismans, Vials and Athames. To the side of the closet was a chest inside was more the Connor could have ever hoped Swords, Crossbows, a Long Bow, Daggers and more Connor had said he wouldn't touch the Magic stuff, but he hadn't said anything about the weapons.
Matt walked towards the bus stop, he'd walked this way many times to get to tafe, but never this quickly. Something was following him, he could feel it. He broke into a jog not paying attention and taking a wrong turn he found himself in a dead end an alley not unfamiliar but still the only way out was the way he came and his pursuer would take advantage of this, he swung his bag off his back reaching down into it.
"Demon or Vampire? Just let me know if I need a stake or athame."
The 'thing' approached him, it wasn't what he expected far from it, it was a man. Sure wearing armour and carrying a broadsword. His face however was covered by a skullcap and he couldn't make it out completely.
"A man, a soldier. One who heeds a warning."
"A warning huh? Like what I'm about to stab you with my big pointy sword?"
"I merely wish to warn you. If you ally yourself with the Destroyer you are our enemy, and we will kill it and you."
"Who's we? And What Destroyer?"
Before he got his answers the man was gone. Matt sighed putting away his athame. He'd have to run his bus would be leaving soon and he didn't want to be late he'd have to tell Connor about this when he got back. What was the Destroyer? And who was the costumed freak that was apparently his enemy? He didn't know but he was going to find out.
