'You have faced worse in your life' is the only thought that keep me standing. The naked man in fornt of me asking me for my pants, didn't seem like any of the monsters I've fought before. But the shear pressure he presented with his simple question shook me to my core. 'Just give him your pants, you idiot!' I stare into those deep golden eyes as a smile forms on his lips. It looks sadistic but the worst part, it looks like he finds me interesting.
plop. (body hitting the floor)
plop. plop. plop. plop.
From the corner of my eyes I can see the other soldiers around me drop. The man in fornt of me pays no mind as his smile grows larger. "So?" he leans in directly in front of my face "what's your name?"
"14" the response comes from my lips before my brain had any time to register it. The eyes and his build plus his over all dangerous vibe has shut down my body. "14?" he sighs while bending down and taking the pants off of an unconscious person "Is that a code name or something you go by because you have no name?"
"My parents didn't live long enough to give me a name," it slipped out once again "I took the name of my family's district." He lets off a light chuckle as he puts on the pants and stands in fornt of me again. "Well 14 I like you." he puts his hand on my shoulder and smiles some how getting rid of the pressure I was feeling. My knees give out as the world around me comes flooding back in. I hear the other summoned laughing their asses off with the Sage Princess cursing under her breath in a native language. I had went full survival mode as soon as he stepped in front of me and didn't even realize it. He says something else but I'm too far gone before I can actually make out what it was. I let the coolness of the stone floor take me.

I wake up with a jolt as I look around. I'm in the medical bay, which only puts me more on end. I'm a healer so why put me here? I understand immediately when I see the golden eyed bastard who put me here " You was calling me a bastard wasn't you?" a smile makes it's way to his face as he looks at me from the other side of the room. "If I say no would you believe me?" it's weird but I feel no pressure this time while talking to him. He seems like an old friend with that smile. "Nope not in the least bit," he stands up throwing a bag in the bed with me " so the deal is I'm supposed to kill so many demons blah blah blah blah and I need a party." His smile gets larger as he locks eyes with me. The realization finally hits me. He asked for me to be in his party. A party that was only supposed to be made up of the most elite. And he asked for me... "Oh by the way I took your pants." he walks out of my little room in the medical bay while showing off the jeans I was wearing. "Fuck, he did find me interesting..." I let that sink in before I get dress, realizing I'm in someone else's over sized pants.
