Goosebumps crept up my arms. His golden eyes flashed out of the window. I could smell decaying, nasty, death. I wanted to be wrong about my guess. "Troy," I said his name in a slow voice, getting out of the bed. He held out his hand, to stay me quiet. They could smell us, and approach us in seconds. I hadn't seen them in real life, just heard from Kelvin and Fabri. I was unable to hide my fear. My astonishment hiked when he straightened his arms, palms facing the earth. A blinding light flashed and he was grasping two swords. His look of a lethal warrior took my breath away. "Stay back, mate," He growled in a heavy tone that sent shivers down my body. It was a complete shock. A trickle of dread tiptoed up my spine, and I wanted it passed. I was waiting for my fear to stand in front of me. Screams ripped from my throat until my lungs were burning.

When I was bored being locked in the room I decided to go out As the sky was clear today and the sun was calling me out. Troy kept checking on me from time to time. I didn't practice.

I didn't want her to disappear, "Ouch," I rubbed the spot still gawking at her, "You're real and sooo beautiful," My voice was full of shock. I still didn't know.
