• "Watch out!" warned Andrea. The blade missed me by a hair. I was tired, injured, and barely able to fight. "Getting tired Max?" Jack asked. "I'm fine," I said. I staggered forward. I raised my sword and slashed it downward with great force. He dodged it quickly. He was fast, too fast. I couldn't keep up much longer. The gash on my left arm has stopped bleeding, but I still lost a lot of blood. He swung his blade and made another gash, on my right arm this time. I dropped my sword and fell to the ground. "No!" screamed Andrea. Jack looked down at me and raised sword, "This is the end for you, Max."
