Chapter 7: Knock out.

"After what had happened in the first period." The rest of my day I was okay. But all day I had my attention on the clock. Because all I wanted to do was just head over to the Library so that I could do my own research.

The good news was that my last class was gym class. And the only thing that I had to pay attention to was the other kids because today was Friday. Which meant only one thing.

(P.E. Teacher) Dodgeball! Like a lot of schools. We were all split up into two teams. Veronica and her lackeys were on one team and  I was on the other team.

And it did not take long for both mine and the other team to be taken out leaving me, Veronica, and five kids the last one standing. And since Veronica had taken it very personally about what happened to her favorite and I'm guessing expensive outfit.

She was going to do whatever it took to take me out. (Veronica) Well, well. One to go. It's payback time. Now it's just, against the five of us. Let's see how lucky you are.

Hopefully, I have enough. I stood ready as they tossed the ball right at me. I didn't know what to do. Well, my body did. As they had all speeded right for me. That feeling had come back.

It was like it had somehow slowed everything down and helped me plan what to do. And I had then grabbed the ball and I had tossed them right back at them. And had taken them out in an instant. Knocking out four of the other kids.

And as I grabbed the last one I tossed it and like a bullet, I sent it flying and it hit Veronica right in the head. Luckily for everyone, the balls were made of rubber.

Oh, shit. Willow's team wins! What?! Veronica had shouted with fury. Did you not see that? That bitch just hit me in the face with a ball. I'm so sorry, Veronica. I didn't.

First, you ruined my outfit with your bad luck, then you almost broke my arm. And you just hit me in the face with a ball. She was trying to kill me.

No, I wasn't. It was an accident I swear. Yeah, right. Once a jinx always a jinx. And once a bitch, always a bitch. I snap back at her. I have been putting up with your crap since we were little.

So, even though it was an accident. Maybe it was time for someone to knock you off your high horse. I don't get what it is that you don't like about me. But this is why nobody likes you.

The only reason why those two like you is because you're rich. That's the reason they like you. Oh and by the way your hair dye is running.

(P.E. Teacher) Witmore! Oh, my god. Veronica. I didn't. Witmore. Hit the showers, now! I didn't argue with him. So I just did. Well, I just left but I did not go to the showers.

That was the second time that I had snapped at Rony and attacked her like some kind of angry cat. I couldn't wait any longer. So while no one was looking I had decided to leave. But before I could walk out the front door.

I had a bad feeling that was telling me not to go out that way. So I had instead sneaked out through the back door of the cafeteria. Hop the gate and run off of the campus.

And the reason why that feeling was telling me to go out another way was because the car with those men were in. Were sitting across the street.

And they were waiting for me to come out so that they could attack me. But it didn't matter because they were asleep until the school bell woke them up. That was the good news.

That and they did not see me or Chris and Luke heading off to find me. But the bad news was that the ones that they did see were Vronica and her lackeys.

And they had overheard their confession. And The silver suit man had asked them. Um, excuse me, young ladies. But I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. Now this girl that you are talking about, did she have on a green, cat amulet?

Yes. Tell me more, please. Meanwhile, over at the library, I used one of the computers scanner to help me search for my amulet. Unfortunately, the research did not take long.

But I did manage to find out some things about it. My amulet was called. The Amulet of Saraya, the cat god. It is a mystical amulet that was given to the ancient people by the goddess herself.

And those who were worthy would be given the powers of. But as I had continued to read on there was not much to go on. But from what I am guessing.

The amulet would give a worthy soul, the goddess's abilities. And it did show images of warriors who had worn it. But one thing was clear that the amulet was lost to time. And seeing that was all I could find I had decided to just take what I could get and Leave.

And as I had just walked out the front doors. Hey, Willow! Chris. Luke. Hey, guys. Whoa. Why are you out of breath?

(Luke) Because we have been running around looking for you. We heard about what happened in Gym class. How did you hear about that?

(Chris) Man girl, is it true? Did you really knock Veronica the fuck out? It was an accident. So you did? Yes. Damn Girl. How did you guys hear about it?

It's all over the whole school. Everyone says that you had knocked Veronica out when you hit her in the face with a Dodgeball at her. That was an accident, okay. And I don't even know how I did that.

One second those balls are coming right at me. And then all of a sudden, it was like my body had told me what to do. Like I could just feel it. Like some kind of strong feelings.

(Chris) So what? Your "Spider senses were tingling." Maybe, I don't. But then it hit me. I looked at my amulet and then to them and said. Or something else.

As Chris and Luke walked with me I told what I had found out about the amulet. So, what you're telling us is that you think that your amulet has mystical powers.

Maybe. All I do know is that these strange things did start happening until after I had gotten this thing. And from all that I could find. It does say that if you're Worthy.

The amulet is supposed to grant you abilities. Like Thor's hammer. I mean it sounds like it. But I couldn't find anything else on it. It almost seemed like something or someone had wanted to hide something.

(Chris) That might have been a good idea. I mean just imagine if someone had or could get their hands on some mystical bling. That would spell trouble.

Do you mean someone who is not you? I had asked him. Exactly. I mean if I was rockin' some mystical bling. I could be Pippin. Like some badass wizard from the hood.

You cannot borrow it, Chris. Oh, come on, Willow. You had better listen to her Chris. Or do you want her to do what she did to Veronica to do to you?

No, thank you. My face is my money maker. (Luke's phone had started to ring. And he answered it) Hello. Hey dad. Nothing much. I'm just walking with Chris and Willow.

Now? Okay, I'll be there soon. Okay. See you soon. Sorry, you guys. I have to split. I better do the same too. I'll see you guys later then. Later, willow.

As I watch my two friends head off. I was heading home myself. While there. Any luck, hone? Nope. She still is not answering my calls. So are we still going?

Oh, yeah. She may not be answering my calls. But that doesn't mean that I don't know where she lives. Well, at least that is good news. Now we just have to wait for Willow to get home first.

(Knocking at the front door.) And that must be her. But as my father went to answer the door to his surprise it was not me but.

(Hello) Is this the Witmore residents? My name Is Wilson. It was the man in the silver suit. Is your daughter home? No. Oh, well. To bad.
