Alright... I wrote these stories a long time ago, so I'm not sure if the grammar or the spelling is right. Well, um... Enjoy, I guess.

Talon

Talon was walking in the woods, wondering why did he take this route to the town. Then he remembered that flying or taking any other route will be too exposed. He shrugged and carry on walking, hoping he will get to the town before dawn.

He continued walking for a few hours, crunching on the dried leaves and twigs. Until he heard a really loud crack, like a gun shot. He didn't bother about it because people hunt in these woods a lot. He continued to walk until he heard another gun shot. But this time it was a lot louder and closer.

He stopped and listened to the wind rustling the leaves. His eyes didn't move at all because he is actually blind. Although, he keeps it open at all times. He listened hard and tried to hear where the sound is coming from. Then a deafening BANG! rang through the forest.

Talon winced and covered his ears by instincts. When his ears stopped ringing, he was already surrounded by thugs. He could hear their breathing and smell their foul breath. He could feel their grins on his back because they found a nice play-toy. He looked at them in the eye and almost look like he is not blind, but the color of his eyes gave him away.

"Yo. This dude is blind." the biggest and foulest looking one told a skinny blonde haired one. Talon discided to call them Leader and Puny.

Puny grinned and said "This should be fun."

One of them had a shotgun and Talon named him Gunner. Gunner asked him, "Hey. Do you know where you are?" Talon didn't answer him. Gunner asked again "Dude, answer me, do you know where you are?" Talon didn't say anything and that pissed Gunner off. "HEY! Answer me you ass-hole! You mute too?!"

Talon sighed and finally answered back "I'm in the woods."

"You are not in any part of the woods. This part here is ours." Leader told Talon in a 'matter of fact' tone like everybody should know.

Talon didn't want to fight so he swallowed his pride and apologize to them "I'm so sorry. As you can SEE that I'm blind. I just got lost wondering in these woods." He turned around and tried to walk a way, but the last member of this group blocked his path. This member is big and round and has a knife. Talon called him Butcher.

"Why? You don't want me to leave?" Talon asked them innocently.

Leader answered his question, "Oh no we don't. We want to have a lil fun torturing someone." and he started to crack his knuckles to look tough.

Talon sighed and tried one more time, "Even though I'm blind, but I'm not a person to be messed with."

The thugs just laughed at him and went closer to him. Talon sighed again and took out a strip of cloth from his pocket.

They laughed at him more. "What are you going to do? Fight us with THAT?" Butcher spoke for the first time and his breath smelled like dead fish.

"I really don't want to fight you guys," he said again, hoping that they might change their mind. But of course they didn't. Talon blind-folded himself and listened hard on their every move.

Butcher moved first and launched at Talon, trying to stab him. Talon heard his footsteps and side stepped it easily.

Puny's special ability is that he can be as silent as a mouse and nobody would feel their pockets being picked by him. He creeped up to Talon, knowing that he couldn't hear him. But just before Puny could grab hold of him, he jumped and flipped around and kicked Puny right at the head. Puny landed in the mud face first.

When Gunner looked back at Talon, he realized that Talon is running straight at him. He opened fire at Talon.

Talon heard the gunshots and it hurt his ears really bad. His senses went crazy and he couldn't 'see' right. He stumbled and fell to the ground. He then rolled to the side to avoid the bullets. His ears are now bleeding and damaged by being so close to something so loud.

He thought he was a goner and Gunner also thought he might get to kill him. But Leader stopped him.

"We shouldn't stop the fun so fast. Since we damaged him, is should be easier."

Gunner smiled evilly and put his gun away. They tried to tie Talon up but he responded to their touch too well. So they used a different tactic by putting a knife at Talon's throat. He knew the feeling of a knife too well to do anything stupid.

In the end, they got him tied up and led him to a place in the woods. They put the knife at his throat just for good measures.
