as he got close the where he would be safe Shadow heard movement behind him again and turned in time just to have a blade slash his chest. he staggered back and fell off the roof. he landed hard on his back and was stunned. the face of the one holding the blade frozen in his mind. things made sense now. Kalin was not a mentor he was a traitor. he had his parents killed to take their child and change him into a killer. the pain in his chest soon over took his mind and shadow passed out in the street.

Kalin looked down at Shadow and then turned away. " your a failure just like your parents kid. i'm the only one who should be the best and i will kill anyone who tries to get better than me." he then jumped down and vanished into the crowds.
