Rhydian moved with the speed of lighting. One moment, he was standing at a distance from me, and the next, he was in my face, his fist soaring. I dodged in time, coming so close to getting punched in the head. Before I was given a chance to regain my balance, he struck again, landing a brutal hit in my gut.
Pain exploded through my stomach as I staggered. My narrowed gaze met his eyes, and I could tell he was enjoying this from the gleaming look in his blue eyes.
"Giving up already?" he taunted. His voice came from behind me, a cold whisper to my ear.
I hadn't even noticed when he slipped behind me. He was that quick.
I wanted to move, but he locked an arm around my neck, yanking me back into his chest. I clawed at his arm, trying to free myself as he choked the air out of my lungs.
Desperation kicked in, and I acted fast. I threw my head back hard. It hit his chest? But not his face because of our height difference. But that would do.
