SHADOW BOXERS

PROLOGUE

Elsewhere

    Soon, soon I shall be free. HE will pay for imprisoning me. He who walks between the light and the dark. I shall make him die the most painful of deaths.

    Axion, do you hear me? The time of my freedom is close. Axion, you must begin the sacrifices. HE is close by to where you are. I wish to kill him for myself. Are the rest of the warriors ready? Axion, do not fail in your mission.

Augusta, Ga

   Teen night at Mulligan's. A place where those under the age of drinking can get together and dance, and have a good time with one another....provided no fights break out..or any drugs are found on the premise...or if anyone sneaks in any alcohol beverage.

    Tina wasn't having a good night. It was only supposed to be her and Dave. But Dave had told his obnoxious friend Robbie where they were going. Now, Dave and Robbie were paying more attention to crude jokes and she had enough of it.

    "Tina, where are you going?" Dave asked. Tina simply continued walking out.

    Dave chased her outside and stopped her.

    "Hey, come on. What's wrong?" He asked, gently

    "What's wrong? You bringing that dickweed along, that's what's wrong."

    "Hey, come on. He was bored sitting at home. There's nothing to do in Disgusta, Ga."

    "I hear Zombie's Swamp is particular beautiful this time of night. Especially, around the nest of alligators."

    "It's not the gator's that Robbie's scared of. Word is that Gray Zombie is back home."

   "Dave, please. We hardly get to see each other at the University, and then there's our working. I just wanted to spend some time with us, you know, together...alone?"

    Dave smiled and gave her a hug, "I'm sorry. Sometimes, I don't think. Look, let me get my jacket, then we can..."

    "Oh, no, I'll get your jacket. If you start talking to Robbie when you get in there, you'll never leave." With that she headed back into the night club.

    Dave shook his head and began looking around the parking lot. There was a strange whishing sound coming from above. He looked up,there was nothing.

    Damn, he thought. Must be losing my mind.

    He began to walk, but he felt a tug on his pants legs. He looked down. He saw the shadow of the car that he was near, and hands coming out of the shadow.

    "The hell..."

    Dave was then pulled into the shadow, vanishing.

    Robbie was walking behind Tina, being his usual obnoxious self. Tina was trying to avoid losing her temper and beating the living snot out of him.

    "Hey come on Tina, you guys don't have to leave. We're just starting to have fun." He said.

    "Robbie, why don't you go knock on Gray Zombie's door and say something about his mom."

    She turned around to say something else to him, when she saw the look on his face. It was the look of terror. She slowly turned to where he was looking. She dropped Dave's jacket, and screamed.

    Dave was lying on the ground, under a parking lot light, lifeless. His skin was dark, as if a shadow had fallen across it.

    Master, the sacrifices begin.
