Tara's eyes became colder and she started walking towards lone, so did josh.

"Ha... Okay"

With how things were going he was going to faint or just die right there.

Josh rushed towards lone with a punch.

Lone only seeing the punch coming right for his face had no time to dodge. The punch hit his face and he was thrown back to the ground, lone was laying on the ground half dead. He looked up with his eyes getting heavier. Looking up tara was looking down on him and said:

"You can't even dodge josh's punch, And you taught him half the things she knows"

She lifted her leg up and said:

"Good bye lone"

Lone looked at tara's feet. Time seemed to have stopped for him.

The next moment he was staring at a teenage boy who looked like him, the boy was probably twelve years old. The boy was walking in a park when he saw a girl surrounded by four boys. The boy looked and said to himself:

"I should probably help but, it's non of my business"

He walked passed the boys but the girl looked at him and shouted:

"Lone!"

He looked at the girl and recognized her it was tara, he walked towards the boys who were going to beat him up but got beat up instead.

Kid lone was standing looking down on the four teenagers. He looked towards tara and asked:

"What are you doing around such guys?"

He turned around not waiting for the answer. Tara ran and caught up to him. She asked with a smile:

"It's been two years and you're still the same"

He glared at her then looked away without saying anything.

"Don't tell me this is still about me confessing my feelings for you infront of your grandmother" she giggled amused by his never changing gloomy expression.

Lone kept walking not paying attention to the girl.

"I miss you" the girl hugged him from behind which made him stop moving.

'wait what's happenin'... Was that supposed to be how my life flashes before my eyes' lone thought looking at the foot which was slowly approaching his face.

'so the people who die have this much time to react and still die. That's kind of stupid... Maybe it is different I should have just let my life flash till I died'

He kept watching the foot which was now close to stomping him dead.

'yeah dying is borin'' lone thought the he moved away as the leg was about to stomp him.

Tara stomped the empty ground her foot breaking through it, but as it was about to go deep she got pulled back. She fell on her butt, she looked at the person who had just pulled her, it was lone and he looked energetic now.

"You couldn't have hoped to beat me" he moved forward a bit then yawned and continued.

"You're so freaking slo..." Lone stopped when he saw a light saber aiming for his neck.

He saw in come very slowly

'haha yeah... Die!' lone thought to himself.

He dodged the punch by side stepping slightly and landed a very powerful blow in josh's guts.

The punch was so powerful that it made josh pass out seconds after impact.

Everyone present stared in disbelief. Josh fell on his knees then on his face. He had fainted.

"Awe... How cute you passed out by a single blow" he said then looked back at tara.

She saw him turn around to her. The next thing she saw was lone's punch coming for her face.

'lone you are actually going to hit me...' she thought as tears came out of her eyes, she didn't believe what was happening. Lone had never hit her before, he had never even shown any signs of ever hitting her. He had always been gentle towards her. What the hell was happening, she was filled with fear and disbelief. the only one who wasn't affected was cross who was standing on top of a building.

Lone punch stopped before hitting her and a gush of wind blew past her face. How strong was that freaking punch.

"You're not even one percent of my strength and you claimed you were goin' to kill me" he turned around and walked away from her.

After a few minutes of walking he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Lone!" He heard a voice call out his name. He opened his eyes and looked at who was calling him. After opening his eyes he stared directly into samantha's eyes. She was close to him treating his wounds.

"You're finally awake" she said but he didn't pay attention to that, He was looking around to figure out which place he was at. It seemed to be a hotel room a small one for that. The there was only one bed the one he was sleeping on and it wasn't if good quality. A small bathroom, table on the middle of the room and that was about everything that was in the room. After he finished looking around he looked at samantha, she had her hands on his bare chest and was looking in his eyes her eyes glued to his face.

Lone put his hand in his hair and messed it up, which hid some of his face.

"Where am I?" Lone asked.

She realized that she had been looking way too much, she looked away and answered her face flashed a small shade of pink:

"Uh, it's a a small hotel close to wear you were fighting".

"Are you goin' to take your hands off my chest?" He asked as his gloomy expression covered his face.

Samantha got up flustered and said:

"Sorry I didn't mean for that to happen"

Some time had passed and lone you up and entered the bathroom pushed the door behind him. He then took off his trousers and started the shower.

Samantha was seated on the bed looking away from the bathroom.

'i won't have time to shower... Should I go in now' she thought to herself.

'no what the hell am I thinking I can't just go in. Lone will be mad' she was blushing like crazy as these thoughts ran in her mind
