Chereads / Who Will Fall First? / Chapter 6 - 6

Chapter 6 - 6

Is he a villain? A hero? Or just some normal kid? I thought, still watching him. He was messing with something on his desk. No normal kid would explore an abandoned hospital like this. And there's no such thing as normal. I continued to watch closely, like a hawk stalking their pray, and I gave a small gasp when he started to take off his suit, leaving him in a white undershirt, which showed his muscles. He turned, and I backed up, but tripped on a can, and fell on my ass. "Who's there?" He asked, his voice low and dangerous. I didn't answer, thinking that if I stayed silent, he would think it was just a mouse scurrying by. But he actually came out to the hallway, and stopped short when he saw me, then he sort of scowled. "Who are you?" I didn't answer, but stood instead, and turned to the stairwell. Unfortunately, when I was about to start running, he grabbed my wrist, making me dangle over the first step. My helmet hit the railing, and came off, rolling down the stairs. "I'm not letting you go without an answer." I whipped my head around toward him. "And I'm not giving you an answer." I glared at his gray-green eyes, hoping to scare him off. "Fine. If that's how you want to play..." He said, smirking. "I'm Connor." He pulled on my wrist, which gave me balance, and allowed me to actually stand instead of dangling. "I presume your supposed to be a hero?" I didn't answer, but apparently, that gave him his answer. "Yes, I thought so. Tell me, are you here because you saw that one light on in this building? Did it make you wonder if some villain was hiding out here?" Again, I stayed silent. How did he know this? How had I allowed myself to get caught? He snickered. "Well, that's all my questions. You can go, now, if you don't have any." I had several questions, all of then swirling and spinning around in my mind, making me skeptical of him. But I left anyway, and went home, wondering why he had been there, and what he had been doing before I interrupted. I changed into my lazy clothes, and laid in bed, letting memories of my childhood flash through my mind until it was morning. Then, I got up, and dressed for the day, planning to leave at 7:00 because it'd take an hour to get to that university.
