Crescent Academy

Betrayal

There, behind us was a cold woman. Her skin seemed paler than usual, but that could be because of her missing marks. Principal Finn smiled hauntingly. "You think you could get away?"

"Yes, and I will again."

 "Ha!" She said humorlessly, "We knew the moment you were gone! Dear Gwendolyn saw you leave, and we just had to use Ashlee to find you."

 Gwen stepped out from behind Finn's tall figure, clad in clothing from head to toe. I guess it was easier than covering her whole body with makeup, but I could still see the glitter of her frosty skin in the shadow of the hood.

"Hmm, and I wonder what you were doing up at that time Gwen? Had you just finished sucking on some guy's co-"

"You bitch!" She roared before I could finish my sentence, lunging at me.

The principal caught her midair and held her back. "Calm Gwendolyn. Calm."

When Gwen calmed down and stopped trying to rip my throat out, Principal Finn smiled her creepy smile again. I didn't call her Panda because she was currently way too scary looking to be classified with those cute creatures. "Ivy dear, you missed my detention."

"Like I would ever show up, who the hell would want to be stuck alone with you? They would be afraid you would rape them!"

Finn's eyes showed that she and Gwen were currently sharing a common interest: killing me. Rae gulped, her eyes darting side to side. I took out a long knife and handed it to her while carefully watching all our enemies; she took it gratefully.

"So, now what?" I asked, my eyes darting from one side to another to watch everyone.

"Now you surrender."

It was my turn to give a humorless laugh. "Not even in your dreams." I said, brandishing the magic sword.

"Well, it seems we are caught in a loop." Finn commented, unfazed by the fact that I could stab her right now.

"It won't be a loop if you get out of my way."

 "No."

"Do you really want me to kill you to get by?"

"I could take you on."

 "With what? You have no weapon. And would you really risk the lives of students?"

"They won't have to fight." Suddenly, she whipped out a gun and fired at me; I dodged, for I had seen the motion. The bullet hit Air and sent her into unconsciousness; thus proving it is just another dart gun. I kicked out at Finn's knees while slamming the hilt of my blade into Kai's stomach. Finn hoped out of the way, but Kai doubled over; so I smashed the flat of my blade into her head, causing her to slump beside Air. Finn aimed her dart gun at me again, but I jumped to the side and hit her wrist with the flat of my blade; I did not wish to harm any of them. The gun was sent skittering across the cement and I quickly picked it up while keeping Finn at a distance with my sword. I shot Gwen, who was currently wrestling with Rae then shot Kai for good measure. I pointed the gun at Finn.

"Just call off your search Panda, I'm going."

"It's Hemi law, it's for your own safety."

"Safety? I think I just showed I can protect myself."

"Yes, bravo." She said, applauding slowly. "You can defend yourself and the girl against a few barely trained, barely armed teens."

"The girl has a name you know!" Rae said, offended.

"I call a hammer and a dart gun armed, especially if the wielders all have powers. And you're no teenager." I noted.

"But I was not mentioning myself or my gun, for you have not won against me yet." Instead of answering, I pulled the trigger. The dart sped towards her, but she was not hit. I fired again, but instead of missing, the dart simply stopped in midair.
