Mathis grabbed some of the food off of the tray and wolfed it down. Staring at the new man now identified as Kate's brother.<br/><br/>"Why are you here?" John said in a gruff voice to Mathis. Mathis just looked him dead in the eye gauging the mans character.<br/><br/>"I am here because I am a slave and I get passed from owner to owner. If you want to fight me by all means give me a sword and lets see if you are the one that gets the honor of killing me." Mathis stood up away from Kate trembling slightly on his unsteady muscles, his blood pumping his fingers twitching. The look in his eyes was half crazed have lustful of the blood he hoped for, His own blood rushing through his veins.
