"Don't worry-" he went to grab her arm as his true demons revealed themselves.
Yet, he only grabbed air . . .
'What! Where did she go?!' He couldn't see around him in the pitch-black alley, she disappeared like a ghost!
"Xia?! Where did you go?" he called frantically out into the darkness.
"I'm over here silly!" Xia giggled from behind him.
He whipped around to try and see her, but he still couldn't see anything. And it felt like the darkness surrounding him began to get even darker if that is even possible!
He reached out blindly trying to follow her voice while trying to grab her but was only met with empty air once again.
He was about to call out for her again until the entire alley lit up so bright it hurt his eyes.
As his eyes adjusted, he saw Xia standing several feet away from him smiling at him, but this time her smile was different. It looked . . . evil . . . twisted . . .
"Xia?" he stammered, rapidly blinking to make sure he was seeing things correctly.
"I see you took a fancy to our little sister, Khan" a male's voice resounded from behind him.
He whipped back around just as fast to see who that voice belonged to.
He was a younger boy, probably in his mid-teens. Khan looked towards the boy's hand that was raised and emitting one of the brightest fires he has seen considering that the flame was only a couple inches tall.
"How do you know my name?" Khan's entire demeanor changed in a second. He stood in a defensive stance. His evil persona was now on display with his oppressive aura beginning to fill the space around him.
"We have been watching you Khan" Xia's sickly-sweet voice reached his ear, she sounded like she only a few inches behind him, but turning around to face her. She was gone.
Turning back to quickly face the boy with the flame he yelled in a panicked "who the hell are you?!"
"I am shocked at how slow your brain works" another voice came from the shadows and joined in behind the young boy.
It was a young girl, she looked about 14 maybe 15. She was very beautiful just like Xia, her black hair was incredibly long and that was paired with green eyes.
"Mes, I thought you said he was intelligent" she crossed her arms smirking at Khan.
"I thought so too, but I guess we received bad intelligence from recon" Mes shrugged and grew the fire in his hand to stand a bit taller on his palm.
"How dare you insult me! If you know who I am then you should be scared! You know what I am capable of!" he snarled in anger. How could these young kids just stand infront of him, insulting him!?
A familiar giggle came from behind the two teens, "the only thing scary about him is his acting!"
Xia's face emerged from the darkness behind him, and was slowly illuminated by the flame. As she came closer and Khan could make out her devilish smirk on those previously adorable lips.
"How dare you! You bitch!" Khan was beyond pissed that his plans got ruined by these nosey teens.
"Aw Xia, did you hear that? I think he is upset" the green-eyed girl mockingly pouted at Khan in concern.
"Aw Hela! I think you're right, his pride is probably very bruised, now he knows that he isn't as good as he thinks he is!" Xia copied Hela with a mocking pout and clapping her hands together.
"That's it!" Khan was about to charge the 3 teens before he felt a strong tug on his cloak from behind, preventing him from taking a step further.
Looking over his shoulder, further panic began to set in, there were 3 more of them standing behind him.
They all had the same wicked smiles set into their faces.
Khan broke out into a sweat as he began to count how many teens were surrounding him.
"You are just kids!" Khan finally calmed down enough to return to his senses, he is a grown man. They are nothing compared to him.
"Kids who outsmarted the supposed 'Great Khan of Silver City'" Another male voice came from behind him.
He was almost as tall as Khan, very handsome with blonde hair.
The tall blonde began to walk around Khan towards where the other 3 who stood in front of him.
"You didn't put up much of a fight surprisingly" he had a calm aura about him, he obviously has had experience with this type of thing.
"And what? You are supposed to be the leader?" Khan felt like it was his turn to mock this band of kids.
"Afraid not, I got voted that title", a delicate voice declared.
Khan couldn't see who was talking but the voice came from behind the tall blonde. It sounded like a young girl.
It's alright A, let me through".
"Leader, I don't want you having to taint your eyes by looking at this piece of trash". The kid named A looked at Khan with disgust and hatred in his eyes piercing through Khan's soul.
"I think it's only proper for someone to meet the person who will kill them, otherwise that would be rude". That delicate voice giggled in response.
But that simple giggle was enough to give Khan a shiver down his back, it sounded so calm and confident. The innocent sound of her voice made that response eerie.
The blonde simply sighed, closed his eyes in unhappy resolve but stepped aside to reveal a short, beautiful young girl. Her hair as bright and red as the fire in Mes' hand. But the last thing Khan saw was how silver her eyes were.
