Sam was walking Lucy home as she stayed two blocks away. Lucy was a bit tipsy to but not like as Stephen got. He felt lucky that he was able to make friends so quickly. He felt that now his life will be of peace.
But fate pulled its strings. When they were standing in front of the crossing of the street, a black car stopped in front of them. Two man clad in black got out and in a swift way pulled Sam in the car. After that car ran in full pick up. All this happened in matter of some few second, that Lucy was unable mug up the situation.
Meanwhile, Sam was sitting between two bouncers, and was facing a man wearing a grey suit holding a katana upside.
Seeing Samwas sweating profusely, then spoke up,"No need t worry, we won't kill you or ask for ransoms from your parents. We want you to follow us and do the things we say you to do without any hiccups. "
Sam just nodded but was on vigilant as he did not believe that. He was putting an upfront calm face but inside he was calculating the consequences.
Sam didn't have to wait for long, as the car came to a stop.
They got down from the car, in the woods outside the city.
"You have to run through this road inside the woods, we will be waiting for you here . Don't think of running away from us through the woods as we have fixed spy cams to keep you in sight.",saying so the man put the blunt edge of the katana on Sam's back neck and pointed towards the dark path ahead.
The full moon was shining brightly in the sky and only it was the light that Sam got while jogging through the woods.
rustle! rustle!
A wild cat came out from the shadows of the bushes while barring its fangs towards him. Sam took a run and the cat was following him occasionally making shrill cries. He felt that it was toying with him.
After a chase of a half hour it gave up on him and stopped. But the terrified man didn't stop. Sam ran for some more minutes, finally reaching a stream. His throat was dry for running so many minutes without a stop. He didn't care,and thought to take rest by the stream below a oak tree.
Suddenly a bright light came down in a swirling way down from the sky and struck the oak bark above his head. It happened so quickly that he got sting on his position.
He slowly turned around to look through the hole in the tree.He saw a stone in semi circular shape lying on the ground with something glowing in it.Sam with battered eyes walked slowly toward it.
When he reached it, he saw a pattern drawn on it. Unknown to him, his hand touched it and a bright light shone from it but didn't affect his eyes. He could clearly see that something was happening to his hand. Bulging lines started to flow through his hand along with the veins. Slowly it spread through his body and a sudden burst of blood wrenching pain assaulted him.
Puhe! Puhe! Puhe! ....
Sam started to puke blood continuously. He felt that his skin was shredded, muscles were torn, internal organs were turned up side down and his heart getting squashed. He lost all senses of time. He felt that he was going through this hell for countless millennia, where only a few minutes have passed. He soon fainted due to the pain along with the blood loss.
