Terror

Chapter Twenty-One

They should be searching for more weapons, but that stopped for a bit. Eden watched Bryce and Mia face each other with white buckets on their heads.

"Mia, you know you're going to run into my chest. Actually, you'll end up tripping before you reach me," Bryce said slyly.

The two were playing that idiotic game Bryce created when they got bored in detention. They were forced to clean the chalkboard with water, but they didn't fill up the buckets.

"Um, no? I'll be the first one to push you down," Mia slurred as she put her bucket down.

"Go!" Will called.

Bryce stood still, putting one foot behind and the other in front. Mia started running but tripped over her boot and onto the dirty flooring.

"I win!" Bryce gloated, his tongue out. He held the black bucket in his hand and dropped it on her chest.

"It's because you're tall," Mia complained as she tried to whip the bucket at Bryce.

Eden twisted a bow in her fingers, which she had found in the box of random weapons. It was one of those real ones that would be used to kill animals.

"Who are you going to kill with that?" Mia asked as she wobbly lifted herself up.

"That ugly thing," Eden said nonchalantly.

Eden glanced out the dark window at the east end of the school. From the wide window, she could clearly see a small glow of flames from town.

"We need to gather cleaning supplies," Eden said.

"Are you in the mood to clean?" Bryce asked with a smirk.

"Cleaning supplies cause fires, which we'll need," she said.

One of the first chemicals she knew that would create a fire would be bleach. It was the starter object for anything, and people always told her it was a hazard at school. In the gang, it was just used to create fires.

"We aren't blowing up the bubble," Will started laughing.

"Ah, so someone else is burning Simcoe," Bryce implied.

Mia pressed her face against the dirty window. "I thought the downtown was ash by now," she said.

Will held the back of Mia's head, pressing it against the dirty glass.

"Of course it isn't ash now because she didn't burn everything. I told you this during the six-month period of freedom; do you not remember?" Eden snapped with narrowed eyebrows.

It got on her nerves when she constantly had to repeat things to these idiots. Everything she says should be remembered when people listen to her.

"Sometimes I miss when you acted like a religious freak because you didn't get mad every ten seconds," Mia sighed, waving a hand.

She wasn't a religious girl during that free period. Since people began to understand that she was lying the entire time, she acted how she normally did when they did stuff: demanding. It was always that everything had to go her way, or she'd create some type of violence.

"Well, she technically can't be religious when she's covered up murder. Well, you've done worse," Will said with a laugh.

Eden smiled because it was true. During her time in Sanguine, another street gang got into a fight with them. The main leader on their end had caused major injuries as her gang leader, named Scott, murdered the guy. How she had been involved would be by throwing his body in a dumpster.

"Where do they keep cleaning supplies?" Mia asked.

"Somewhere," Will remarked as he laughed.

"Obviously in a cleaning closet," Bryce said with a smirk.
