Cal's POV
Xylo and I were in the town market just shopping for certain foods. Unfortunately we lost each other again, it's usually crowded in the mornings as Ive learned. I decided to continue looking around for something else. 
Until I felt four hands grab me, two on my shoulder, one on my mouth and one on my arms. I was pulled into an alleyway and saw two people. The woman had brown hair and Magenta eyes while the man had black fading into red hair and blood red eyes.
"So this is the newest edition of the town and someone Xylo himself brought" The Man said still covering my mouth.
"He's too bright and he looks weak but Im not surprised that Xylo brought him, Xylo is always friendly one to be friends with someone weak looking" The woman said as she looks up and down at me with disgust.
"Now now Mara, let's play nice with this.... What are you? A Glowstick?" He said as he takes his hand off my mouth.
"The names Cal, and yours Mara and...?" I asked bitterly.
"Sorry bout that, my name is Asani it's nice to meet you and also not" Asani said.
"I guess I can say the same" I replied.
"What are you to Xylo? Friend? Best friend?" Mara questioned as she observes me.
"I don't know, why don't you tell me since it seems you might have heard a lot about me from others apparently" I said looking at both of them.
"Oh look, he's a smartass he should be fun to play with" Mara says as her nails get slightly longer. Gotta admit that is creepy and strange....
"Mara chill, now tell us what did Xylo say about us?" Asani asked as he steps away from me.
"That he punched you" I deadpan. Asani just stares at me with an angry look while Mara tries to hold in a laugh.
He takes a deep breath to calm himself and says "You had to be a smartass.... How infuriating."
"Oh he got you there Sani, Xylo punching you that day Oh! How hilarious it was seeing you get punched by the guy who loved making music" Mara insulted while laughing.
"He also said something about you madam, I believe Xylo said that you had an eventful time at a field trip... I believe he said that you accidentally fell into a little pond" I said to her.
Her face started to turn red with anger and she lunged towards me although failed since Asani was holding her back. "IM GONNA KILL YOU DAMN GLOWSTICK!" She yells while trying to escape his grasp and that's when I remember what Xylo said.
Flashback.....
"Be careful when you meet with Asani and Mara, they will hurt you mentally or physically" Xylo said to me.
"What's so dangerous about them exactly?" I asked.
"Asani will attempt to use any information he has whether it's a secret you have or that you don't know, he won't get physical unless you anger him enough"
