Alex couldn't decipher how the guy got so close before he felt him. The couples were about to ask their son why the sudden change of mood when they saw a young man enter. He is a very handsome man that doesn't look a day over eighteen, and his dazzling smile could deceive anybody but not Alex. Alex could smell the foul stench of death coming from the stranger.
"Who are you?" Alex asked with his hands balled into a fist.
"Your hospitality is legendary." The stranger made a clicking sound with his tongue. "I am called Septem." The young answered with a smile that doesn't match the dead aura he gives out.
"That's Latin for Seven."
"Oh, you know your language." Septem clapped his hands together and started walking forward. Alex knew fighting him with his parents behind him would just put their lives in jeopardy.
