here it is
HATE Ch.2 pages 14-19


"I think he's bluffing."

"Yea I think he is too."

"Well I don’t know sometimes the humans are tricky, maybe there's somebody in the trees."

"Yea you may be right." The goblins started to scan the trees for any rustling or movements. They saw nothing.

Kayne stood there in amazement of how stupid goblins can be.

"Or maybe not." Slowly the goblins started to slowly advanced.

Kayne started to worry. He knew goblins were dumb, but eventually he knew they would catch on. He slowly pulled up his rifle ready to shoot. Almost instantly he quickly raised it up shot the head goblin, reloaded and shot a couple others, after firing a couple rounds he noticed he had no more ammo left. He dropped the gun and pulled out his two swords and was ready for battle.

The goblins stood there stunned, that he had the guts to do that. Then they all looked at him with hate in their eyes, and let out an astonishing war cry. All at once the battalion let out their war cry, "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Then they stampeded towards him in a mad assault.

Kayne stood very scared but ready for anything they were to throw at him. He charged back at them and once the opposing sides met, Kayne started slashing back and forth through all the goblins. As he was fighting his concentration focused on one goblin, he was not in the fight but something was wrong. Other goblins had to hold him back. The goblins Kayne was fighting suddenly backed off. Kayne stood there tired, beaten, cut, and bruised. Everyone looked at the goblin that had gone mad. It’s like he was have a spasm or something, and all the sudden the let go of him. The goblin sprang forward and attacked with much speed. Kayne dodged as much as he could. A second sword was given to the goblin. And again the goblin came at him with much speed. Kayne dodged the first strike then blocked the second. After taking many brutal attacks one of his swords broke but he still held the broken sword in his hand. Again the same routine was put into action. Dodge then block, when this kept going on Kayne knew it had to stop. He jumped to the side dodging the first swing, then ducked under the second swing, and in an adrenaline rush he jumped towards the goblin and thrust both the broken sword and the other sword into the heart of the goblin, there was a hush on the battle field. He pulled his weapon out of the goblin and let him fall to the ground. He noticed the sword that the goblin was carrying looked much different than all the others. It seemed to have an evil aura to it. He didn't know how or why but for some reason he was drawn to it. As he was about to pick up the sword that the goblin had dropped he saw the goblins around him sprint towards him. Quickly he picked it up and...

Kayne could feel his muscles enlarging, his heart beat getting slower and for the first time he felt calm. But Kayne did not know at this point that he had lost control of his body, unaware of anything around him. His hair band broke as his hair grew much longer, down to his lower back. The hair in front had grown down past his chin. He grew fangs and his nails became long and sharp. Then scars appeared on both his shoulders ripping through his clothing, and the same on his wrists.
The goblins were terrified, for they knew what was happening, but couldn't believe how.

"How is this possible he's only human? This isn't right." The goblins turned and ran.

Kayne opened his eyes, and his eyes were midnight black. In a deeper, calmer voice Kayne said, "Hey, where ya going the fun has just begun, now DIE!!!" Kayne sprinted forward with incredible speed and slaughtered many goblins as he was laughing. "It's time to finish this, AAAAAHHHH!!" Kayne swung the sword with awesome might and from the sword came a powerful force; it was a wave of fire that disintegrated everything in its path. The goblins that were once running for their lives, now there was no trace of them at all.

Kayne started to scream for what was once calming is now pain, indescribable pain. All the sudden, out of nowhere a chain whip struck the sword out of his hand and on to the ground. Kayne began to scream even louder than before. He was changing back, his hair grew shorter, the fangs went away, his sharp fingernails became dull, but the cuts on his shoulders and wrists remained. He fell to his hands and knees, and breathing heavily he asked himself, "What happened?"

"You transformed."

Kayne looked around until he saw a figure in the sun's light. The suns rays kept Kayne from seeing any details on the person. Though he was able to see the outline. On the right side of the body the person was holding a handle. His eyes followed the chain from the handle all the way to the spear head that was near him. On the man's back seemed to be a large weapon. Towards the ground there was a curved blade and up above the man's shoulder was the handle, it was a long handle indeed. "What is that weapon in your hand?"

A deep, calm voice answered, "It is called a chain whip. It consists of a handle, a long chain, and at the other end there is a tip, like a spear head and what is on my back is called a scythe. It is an older weapon that was not used because of the massive blade and the unbearable weight. At one end there is a large blade and at the other there is the handle, a long handle to help with the great weight." He paused for a moment. "That sword that you picked up... do you know what it is?"

"Well I thought it was just a regular sword, but something happened. I remember picking it up, then there was pain, then I woke up here."

The man thought to himself, "He doesn't remember anything interesting." Then he said out loud, "My name is Chord."

"I am Kayne."

"I know who you are boy. I've been watching you for some time."

"Like... a stalker?"

"Well, umm, yes. Sort of."

"You're stalking me?"

"No, yes but... for a good cause."

"What is this cause then?"

"You will find out soon enough."

"I hate it when people say that."

"When do people ever say that to you?"

"Well that's not the point. Would you shut up!"

"Come with me, I'll explain everything while we walk. Chord walked over and put the sword in its sheath.

When Kayne finally got a good look at Chord he noticed he was very muscular, and most of his clothes were ripped. Chord had more weapons than Kayne had noticed. In his sash was a long curved blade and in his boot was a knife.

Chord started to walk off in the direction he came but then stopped. He turned around and said, "Are you coming?"

"Well where are we going?"

"You'll find out soon enough, but all you need to know now is that it is safe."

"Would you quit doing that?!" Kayne followed the mysterious Chord to an unknown but supposedly safe place. "Wait, before we go can I go check on the villagers?"

"Go on boy. I will wait here for your return."

"Okay," Kayne ran to where the villagers had set camp. He looked around and no one seemed to be hurt. But everyone was looking at him like he did something wrong. He looked back at them with a confused look. He walked towards them and asked, "What did I do?"

They did not answer, only backed away.

"Please I..." He noticed they all looked terrified. Terrified, of him. He turned his back on them and walked away.

Then he heard a familiar voice say, "Where are you going?"

Kayne turned around and saw that it was little Nona.

Nona walked toward him with a big smile on her face. Before Nona got to him her mother ran up behind her and snatched her back away from him. "I don't want you anywhere near that monster!"

"Really, what did I do?!"

"Don't play dumb with us. We were watching you the whole time, said a man in the crowd."

"Oh that! I don't even remember doing any of that, last thing I remember is picking up the sword."

"That's bull and you know it!!" yelled a different lady.

"Take this demon!" The people in the crowd started to hurl rocks at him.

Kayne turned around and covered his head.

When Nona's mother picked up a rock, Nona ran over in front of Kayne and stuck her arms out. "Did everyone already forget how he saved me?"

"It doesn't matter he's a demon!" shouted one villager."

"Ya, I think we should kill him." said another.

Kayne turned around and looked at Nona. "Thank you Nona."

Nona turned around and as always, was smiling. "It's okay, they're so stubborn. But don't worry, I'll protect you."
