I was the best of my class...Why are you dumbfounded?Yes it is the truth. I Blake Freed was the best in my class I also was the most knowledgeable of us all in a group of 40. I was also pretty athletic myself, participating in Taekwondo buffed me up pretty decently. I ain't very popular but I ain't also a loner. I had a group of close friends. They were the ones I could always rely on no matter the circumstances...But that all changed when they betrayed me.

I was walking my way back to the dorm. It was on the dark corners of the walkway when a group of masked individuals assaulted me. There were about 5 of them armed with bats and knives. They ganged up on me and well naturally I resisted them but even with my fighting experience 5 against 1 wasn't a great odds.

**Thrust**

Blood spurted from my chest. The masked individual looked at me with rage and contempt as if saying, "You deserved it".

I moved my hand on the individuals masked and took it off. Shock coursed through my spine as I noticed that the individuals face was one of my very close friends . He then punched me in the face I stumbled to the ground as the forced sent me reeling.

He and the other individuals then approached me and started beating me. Bats swung at me, knives was stabbed, kicks and punches was hit. I layed there taking all of their beatings dumbfounded and wondering why there doing this.

When they finally had enough a guy spat on my face and they finally left.I groaned and still layed there without the strength to stand up or cry for help, my vision became blurry and my strength waning I finally colsed my eyes but a voiced then whispered to me

"What bad luck you have.To be betrayed by a close friend.Say let's make a deal I'll let you restart your life on a new world...But you must help me in my endeavor,so will you accept?"

straining my last ounce of energy I blurted out "Yes"
