"What are you doing? Run!" I shouted at Peter and Clyde. Whether they ran or not, that was their problem. When I turned around the corner, I noticed that Peter and Clyde were behind me. Maybe they weren't as dumb as I thought. But why did I feel like I've been running away from people more than I've been studying?!"Why did you save us?" Peter asked as he caught up to me. "Don't get the wrong idea. I was just tryna take a piss," I grumbled.Peter blinked in surprise. Call me crazy, but I think he even smiled. Nylon and his gang were on our tail. Clyde was falling behind due to his injuries. I noticed that he was slightly limping too. At this rate, he'd fall behind and get caught. "Hey, Peter Pan, grab Clyde and find a teacher," I said. "Wait, what about you?""I need to get myself another dog tag, what do you think?" I snorted. His eyebrows pulled together but before he could say anything, I stopped running and turned around, facing Nylon who was now only a few meters away. Nylon charged straight towards me like a raging bull and threw the first punch. I hardly managed to dodge it but thank god I did. I swung the wooden leg against the side of his head and he hissed in pain, staggering sideways. "Fucking bastard!" he snarled, pressing his hand against his injury. "Ah, I've been called worse," I shrugged. His friends, idiot A and idiot B, joined him. Idiot A grabbed me by the collar and threw a punch. I tilted my head back but idiot B, the one holding a bat, slammed his weapon against the side of my leg. I cried in pain and bent forward. Nylon slammed his knee into my gut and I gagged. He grabbed my shirt and pulled me in to punch me, but I grabbed his shoulders and slammed my forehead against his. The ringing pain that echoed through my ears made me see stars. Not my smartest move. Idiot A came back for me, but I grabbed his arm and twisted it behind his back, hooking my foot around his ankle and pushing him down first. Idiot B tried to swing his bat again, but I ducked and it smashed into the wall behind me. I charged at him and we both went crashing onto the floor. I straddled my legs around his waist and slammed my fist repeatedly against his face until Nylon yanked me back and tossed me onto the floor. He slammed his foot against my hand before crushing my arm and shoulder, and I hissed in pain when he pressed his weight against my bones. I tried to pull away but his foot locked with my jaw and I was sent rolling sideways. Black blobs darkened my vision, but before I could pull my senses together, Nylon straddles his strong legs around my waist and wrapped his hands around my neck. My eyes bulged out as he blocked the air from getting to my oxygen. Ah fuck, strangling was a bitch way to go. Panic, fear, and more panic. You felt trapped and helpless. I kicked and squirmed, but he was too strong. My lungs began to burn and my vision turned warbled. All I could see was Nylon's ugly ass face and the murderous look in his eyes. I thought he would release his grip, but no, he was going for the kill. I realized that Vadim may not be the only murderer in this school. "Have fun in hell," Nylon cackled with a twisted grin that took up half his face. His eyes brightened with glee and his voice rushed in excitement. I winced as he tightened his grip, scratching at his wrist in hopes he'd let go. I was seconds away from losing consciousness and a few footsteps away from Death. I could barely feel my limbs but I could hear the horrifying noises coming out of my restricted throat. I sounded like a dying pig. But as much as I hated my life, I didn't want to die. There was nothing worth living for, so why? I didn't have anything that I cherished or loved. There was nothing in this crap life of mine. I was thrown away and abandoned since day one, so why did I keep fighting and struggling to live? There wasn't a single damn thing in this world that made me want to live.Nothing but Adam. Adam would never forgive me if I died. No... I would never forgive myself if I left him alone.My fingers tightened around the wooden leg that I was still holding. I could hardly see what was in front of me, but I used whatever strength I had left in me and slammed the sharp wooden tip into my enemy's flesh. Did I stab him in the neck? Nylon let out a cry of pain and immediately loosened his grip. I pushed him aside and crawled away, gasping and coughing for breath. Oxygen poured into my lungs and the black blobs started to fade away. I pressed my forehead against the floor, saliva dripping from my neck as I swallowed as much air as I could. Idiot A and B had already ran away. I looked over my shoulder and saw that Nylon was on the floor, hissing in pain. The wooden leg was sticking out of the side of his neck and blood dripped down to his shirt, but the wound didn't seem deep enough to be fatal. I mean, he was still alive, right?He'd just have a big hole in his flesh, but it didn't reach his glands. I could easily steal his dog tag. I glanced at the shiny metal necklace hanging around his thick neck. #203Shit, he had a high ranking too, but I couldn't find myself to steal it. Even if he almost murdered me, I just couldn't. What can I say? I was a low bastard with high morals. I staggered onto my feet, wiping the saliva off my lips with the back of my hand. I walked up to him and grabbed him by the collar, pulling his face inches away from mine. His eyes widened in fear. No, he was terrified."The next time you mess with me, I'll fucking kill you."I released him and he fell onto the ground. I turned on my heel and left. My head throbbed with pain and my shoulders felt heavy. I dragged my feet forward, trying not to blackout in the middle of the hallways. Who knows what would if I passed out here? This place was too dangerous. I could barely close my eyes in my own dorm room, let alone in an exposed place like the school halls. My body ached in pain and it hurt to breathe, but I kept going.I tried to navigate my way to the dormitories, but I ended up getting lost. I couldn't find the strength to keep looking anymore and my body was worn out. My breaths came out shallow and shaky, and my eyelids started to close. At this rate, I wasn't going to make it to the dorms. I decided to find a quiet corner where no one could see me. Get somewhere safe, Axis. Then you can pass out. I turned around the corner and bumped into someone. I staggered back, but he caught my arm in the nick of time. He was strong but I could tell that he was being gentle with me. Just my luck. I wonder who was going to take advantage and beat the crap out of me. I looked up and for a second, I thought I was hallucinating. A burst of uncontrollable laughter escaped my sore throat. At any other moment, I would have yanked away from his grip. Instead, I pressed my forehead against his strong chest, closing my eyes. I hated how his presence comforted me, but I finally let my guard down. My eyelids began to close."Don't you dare leave me again," I rasped before passing out in Adam's arms.
