Chapter 26 - chapter 26

An old man comes out of the building, he has gray hairs, black eyes, he wears a brown coat and black trousers, in his hand he has a bag, the inside unknown, he looks behind for a second and then starts walking towards the bridge, while walking he stops to speak with a man with brown long hair, a long beard and a body full of muscle, in a simple white shirt, not caring about the cold. I will call the old man, gray hair.

A woman with a pink-white coat goes inside the building, she has brownish hair in a bun, her eyes light blue, very attractive in my view, she has a white shirt with button inside, her pants black and tight, the shoes of brown leather, she is not caring anything inside, her expression serious and low. I will call her pink girl.

A homless man sits a few meters away from the door, he doesn't do anything, there is a hat infront of him, his eyes vacant looking at the sky, his beard and hair covering his face.

I will...

BOOM. I look left, Symon infront of me. The sun still high in the sky. "Isn't it early?" Symon looks left and right and then at me. SWISH. The air hitting my face. Im in mid air, i look down the arm of Symon holding me, his body firm as iron. Houses blurry appear and disappear in my view. "What i-" coff coff. The wind eats my words. I close my eyes and keep the notebook into my body.

.....

THUMB. I fall into the ground. A soft breeze touching my face. I slowly open my eyes and touch my head.

Symon with his back facing me looking outside a broken window. The smell of wet wood fills my nostril, a set of stairs on my right, webs filling the roof. Infront of me chairs on the ground and a table in the middle with a rat on top of it looking at me. "Where are we?"

"Sorry Tomh" Symon says distant "the order"

"The order? What about it?"

"They found you" his voice low. Shivers run my body. "I had to take you before they could get you" he turns towards me "we need to stay here for a while, with my ability we are relatively safe"

Me? Why? "Did i do something wrong? How they did find out?" I just stayed there.

"I don't know, lately they don't attack if not needed, at least in this zone of the city" he puts a hand against the wall.

"How did you know?" i ask leaning against the wall.

"We have people on duty, we learned it last minute, i came as fast as i could"

He probably knows im the prole that's why.

"How did they find out? And why they didn't attack immediately?"

He gives me a quick look "Bridge William didn't tell you about the hawk?" His voice low.

"Hawk? No"

He exhales "we don't know who he is or where he is but the reason the order is so effective and secretive is because of him, he has the ability to see us from distance, he cannot see everything at the same time but if he puts his eyes here he will be able to find us and then point us to the order" Symon says looking around unconsciously "my barrier can help but not really hide from him, we are just lucky that most of the time he ignore us, having more important things to do"

I also look around. So he was looking at me... Shiver run through my spine. I didn't even feel anything. "Can we do something about it?"

He shakes his head and completely opens his eyes. "Tomh, be ready" his voice high. I get immediately on alert, i get up. "What is going on?"

"They found us" he puts two hands on the wall "they are two, I don't know if they have any abilities but..." He bites his lip "the hawk is targeting us"

"Can't you run like before?" i ask looking outside the window, only seeing another house.

"No i would be too slow with you" he say without looking at me.

I clinch my fist "go without me then" my eyes fixed on his "don't die because of me"

He looks at me and smile, a warm smile for the first time "what are you saying brother? I would never do that" his suprise visible. What? "You don't have to die just to save me"

"You already said that" he turns to the wall with his hands firmly on it "i would happily sacrifice myself for you, don't think about this right now, concetrate on what to do, you are not without a weapon are you?"

I look at him in silent. Right... We can survive, i have rat man ability. I look at my hand. But his core, if i use it more he will... Stop Mark, now you have to survive, to hell that rat man.

"Alright Symon, tell me what to do"

"you got yourself together fast, good job, they will be here shortly so be ready"

.....

BOOM. The ground shakes. Downstairs Symon stays motionless, Infront of him two men appear, they have huge bodies covered by a long black and purple tunic, they are bald and have no eyebrows. I take a small step back, they are huge.

They usually are alone or in a team of two when they patrol so we don't need to worry of being more of them.

Even one of them would be enough to worry me.

I squat down and clear my thoughts. Silence Mark.

"You were trying to hide from us?" One of them says, his voice low and carring through out the whole house, he has green eyes, filled with blood.

The fight will be very fast so be ready, if we miss it we are done.

The words of Symon ring in my head.

"What did we do?" Symon asks keeping his voice calm.

"Kid who told you to speak?" The other man with brown eyes says "where is the other one?" He starts looking around and sniffing.

Cold sweat falls from my forehead. Shit, can he smell me?

"I don't know wha-" SWISH. the green eyed man flies towards Symon, his fist againts Symon stomach. BOOM. Symon flies againts the wall, dust filling the whole room.
