Bad Blood (Taylor Swift)

Chapter 8

Catastrophe POV
The Trinity dragged me to a room with two beds, I sat down on one of them and wondered who the other belonged to.

Laying down, I felt exhausted, I didn't even move when the door opened. I shut my eyes and immediately fell asleep.
*************************************
"Hello, Catastrophe." Someone said, I forced myself up into a sitting position. It was Homeslice! "Hey, Homeslice." I said smiling.

"Nice helmet. Get that from Headmistress?" She smirked. I had completely forgotten about my helmet! And slept with it on! "Yeah. We should talk." I said. "What time is it?" I yawned. "11 am. You slept for a while!" She laughed. "Really? Wow." I had only been here for a few days...

She tilted her head at me and sat on the end of the bed. "I'm planning to bring down Arsyn." I blurted out. A huge smile slowly spread across her lips. "Now you're talking!"

"We need to get as many people together as possible, without her knowing." I said, Homeslice nodded. "Why don't you talk to the girls tonight? You know them better." Homeslice shook her head, "They'll listen to you. You're one of the strongest people we've got." She told me, a tiny smile playing on her lips.

"Thanks. I'm a bit worried on what will happen since I've faced Headmistress." I said. Homeslice snapped her fingers. "I've got it! The tunnel!" I looked at her like she was insane.

"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked, not really in the mood for jokes. "There's a hidden tunnel that Headmistress knows about. She'll be able to show it to you and we can all meet there." I nodded my head, deep in thought.

If I could somehow find my way to her room and convince her...."Where is her room in relation to ours?" "Okay, it's pretty out of the way, and Arsyn has guards everywhere. Use your helmet to find a route." She shrugged, walking over to her own bed.

I pressed the side of my helmet and a map pulled up. I saw our room and realized that it would be a long night. There were multiple hallways with multiple dead ends. "Even I don't know exactly where her room is." Homeslice shrugged.

I grabbed my sword and throwing knife before leaving. I realized what The Trinity had clipped on my arm was a knife holder. They knew I was going to win...

I cut right from our room and slid down the hallway, sneaking around the corners. I went right, left, left, and right, not seeing anyone. I turned right again and saw a single guard. They were standing still, staring straight ahead.

They wore a black suit like mine, but had a black helmet over it, covering their face. Seeing nowhere to hide, I crept over to the guard. They turned and faced me, I realized it was a guy!

I threw the handle end of my knife at him and it struck him in the helmet. He reeled back and I did a side kick to his head. He crumbled to the ground, not getting up again.

I grabbed my knife and kept creeping along. I was almost to the door when I heard footsteps behind me. I jumped and back flipped over the person behind me. Headmistress turned around and smirked at me.

"Nice trick. Ready to talk?" She asked, leading me to her room. I was dumbstruck for a few seconds before turning and following her into her room. She turned and bolted the door.

"Sit." She gestured to the padded floor. I sat next to her and she turned serious. "Tell me about the tunnel." I said, shattering the silence.

She sighed and looked at me. "There's a tunnel that connects everything in wing 13-89. The wing that you're living in." She told me. "Okay...we need to get all the girls together. Wait...you're in charge of both wings, right?" I asked.

"Yes. Technically. Arsyn took over 14-89 and I need to get it back. My room is in half of 14-89...." "Could you keep an eye out for Arsyn? While we have our meeting? If the coast is clear, then give me a nod." I said.

"Okay. How will we get the word to everyone?" I asked. "Don't worry about that. Tonight at midnight." I felt like that was my cue to leave. I got up and walked toward the door.

"Good luck. You know you'll have to face her sooner or later. Watch your back."

I opened the door and shut it.
