Chereads / Night Of the Pawn / Chapter 15 - Who's that?

Chapter 15 - Who's that?

It almost seemed like he couldn't get out. The brute's hand was holding John tightly to the wall. But there was a way to get out right before the ax came down. It was only open for a split second so he had to be quick. John switched his gun over to his left hand, he tilted over to his side to get a better line, and he shot at its other eye. 

The bullet pierced the eye, sending the thing down. The beast let go of him, as it reached for its other eye. It couldn't see anymore so he had a chance to kill it. He shot at it another three times, all three landing on the monster's forehead. It was finally over, he did it. And now over the next few days he would have 9 more levels to go. 'Great…Just Great.' He said as he fell to the ground tired from the long battle and getting tossed around.

The announcer then started to shout again. "There it is! As you've seen here this is the first "blessed" this year to pass a level!" All the crowd erupted and jumped in cheer. Howard then came out, he rushed over to John's side. "Good job! Now let's get you cleaned up." He nodded to someone in the stands, and they snapped their fingers. John could feel his cuts, bruises and pain all go away. "Now that's a good ability." He muttered.

Howard helped him up. "It truly is. The only thing is it needs two people to do it." Both of them started heading back to the room. "Okay, once we get back here you will be sent back to your normal room. No time has passed so it will go back to normal." John nodded as they made it to the room. "Once you pass the door you will go back." He walked through the door. And just as Howard said, he was back in his normal room.

He was still in his clothing, which was covered in dust and scratched, so that confirmed that everything wasn't a dream. "So, they truly are omnipotent…" John scratched his head and laughed. "Just a touch of that power…If only, if only I had it." He sounded almost insane. That was reasonable. If a normal human had done what he just did they would be dead. 

Then he realized, we should prepare from the next level if he wanted to gain that power. That was how he would obtain it. He put on some normal clothes, a sweater he found in the closet and his normal pants, and walked out the room. John walked over to room two, the room Vincent was now occupying. "Hey, Vincent." Vincent opened the door. "Yes?" John walked into the room. "Close the door I have something to ask of you." He did as told and they both sat on the bed. "Vincent…If you don't know already, I'm a 'blessed'." Vincent was stunned. "Now I have to prepare for my next level, I'd assume you know what that means, so I need something made." Vincent just nodded his head. 

John handed over a blueprint of what he wanted. 'I made this awhile ago, I wondered when I would need it.' Then he left the room. He then ran into Albert. "John, go get your police friend out of here, I have an important meeting and if he sees a cop here I lose…Well you don't need to now anything else just get him out." John walked down to the bar section, and indeed he saw Charles. "Hey, Charles, come here." He waved over at Charles, taking him away from the poker game. 

'That was actually a good excuse. Now I get to learn if he actually reconizes me or not.' They steped outside. "So what do you want?" John turned to him. "I wanted to ask you something." He stopped moving. "Are you or are you not, Luis snow…My brother?" He looked very confused. "Who? You must be mistaken, we have only known each other for a little, but if my memory serves me right. I'm not your brother."
