The Queen Of Spades

Chapter 5, Continued, Again

I counted eight guys, all packing. There were two more guys on the balcony where most of the faculty was and one was in the hallway watching for stragglers coming from the bathrooms. One of the guys started giving the others orders, meaning he must've been the leader. Three of the guys went to different places in the line of people, one on the left, one on the right, and the leader in the middle. They lifted their pistols and each fired one time. Screaming, a lot of screaming started and the leader fired three rounds into the ceiling.
"Listen up!" The leader said with a thick German accent, "My team and I will continue to kill until the one called the Queen of Spades steps up to take their place." A teacher tried to help one of the students who was shot and got a bullet to the head.
"Caleb." I whispered into my phone. I had to end this.
"No." Came the response.
"Caleb!"
"No. Fall back and wait for instructions."
"Wait for instructions? You're insane. I'm going." I looked around for someone I remotely trusted to help me and saw Gideon sitting with blood on his knees from the body in front of him. He looked so scared, he couldn't even look away from the girl in front of him. Nevermind then, I’ll do it by myself. Three more gunshots sounded and bodies dropped to the floor. I walked out of the group of terrified people. Quietly, I stepped up to one of the men and tapped his shoulder, punching him in the face when he turned to me. The man let out a cry that got the rest of the mercs attention and I smiled. This was gonna be fun.
"I thought you would be just a little more impressive, queen." One of them said, aiming a gun at me.
"Likewise, but you haven't seen why I was named queen yet. '' I said, running at him. Once I was at arms length, I took his gun and shot him in the head. Some students screamed and I rolled my eyes, shooting another guy in the knee cap, I aimed for another but got hit in the head before I could. The gun fell out of my hand as I fell to the floor. Instead of trying to get it, I blew the hair out of my face and turned around to face the person who hit me. "Well, I wanted chaos." I whispered under my breath as I took my knife out the sole of my sneakers. Driving the knife into his chest, I took it out and slit the next guy's throat. A sharp pain surged through my leg and I turned to see the Merc that I shot in the knee holding a gun in his hand.
