Months have gone by....and the closest thing we have gotten to a "X" event is a lost fairy....the fairy council was grateful when we returned her.
Typical...Currently we are in calculus class.
I sat in the back of the class room, watching as the teacher was teaching about the unit circle.
I kept on scanning the room for anything out of the ordinary.
Doors?? Nope.... Windows??... Nope...
"Marie. You need to relax." Michael thought as he glanced back at me.
"Relax?!" I glared back at him.
"Your so tense, try to ease your mind a bit." He looked back at me with concern.
I grabbed my head, and started to rub my temples.
"Headaches?" He looked at me with his intense blue eyes.
"When have they gone away?" I looked at him sarcastically.
"True." He lifted both hands up and chuckled.
"Question, Michael?" The teacher asked, for Michael still has his hands up.
"Ummm...no Ma'am. I was just... stretching." He said.
"Smooth, real smooth." I thought as I held an okay sign with my fingers.
"Nicely done, if I say so myself." He replied as he flicked his collar.
"Turd." I joked.
My headache was slowly subsiding.
I looked at the window, watching a raven hopped along the windowsill.
How beautiful, yet can be deadly....
The raven flew away into the sky, and a dark mass started to come into view, covering the sun for a split second. I then recognized it, a battleship, it started to descend, with aliens launching onto the ground, guns in hand.
Why do they hate us so much!?
I looked at my teammates as their suits started to encase them in black all around the hands and neck.
The aliens started to fire at the windows. Glass sprayed everywhere as students clutched their heads. Screams could be heard.
Everyone whipped their attention towards the gunshots and aliens; the teacher was in shock and stooped down behind her desk.
"OH, SNAP!!" Yelled Seth.
"Get down." I shouted to everyone.
We flipped the desks towards the windows to shield everyone from the gunfire. Others did likewise. Then, it suddenly got quiet, so quiet I could hear the heavy breathing of everyone in the room with a couple of silent cries. I shushed the sounds. And it was quiet again.
A loud pop broke the silence, I looked over at the source. The teacher had been shot, sniped out. She collapsed down, clutching her stomach. Students all around gasped and held their hands against each other mouths trying to be quiet. Tears were shed, and fearful gasping filled the room.
I looked at everyone. The chaos. The innocent. I looked at my teammates and they looked back at me. I nodded. We got up as the teacher gasped.
"What are you doing? Get back down."
The bullets started to whiz all around us striking engaging the face shield. The bullets was tearing the clothes on-top of our suits to shreds, revealing the shimmering black. We ripped off the tattered clothes.
INFO: The suits are made of a high intensity material with scales that can withstand many types of weapons that will come our way and soon adapt. If you were to get sliced but a knife type of weapon the suit would mend itself. an advantage is that the suits are infused with all types of medicine that heal the spot one is hurt. They completely covered our bodies down to the hands with gloves and shoes. If the suit adapts to one's particular skill or powers uses it to its advantage. It has a face shield that automatically is engaged when a bullet hits the armor, along with the weapons automatically appearing on one's back with a magnet holding it in place. The awful thing about the suits is that they are infused into our skin, but can be retracted into our tattoo that each of us have been marked with.
"Hold them back!" I shouted as I rushed towards the teacher. My teammates immediately engaged, taking out the aliens one by one.
I squatted down next to the teacher.
She had her back against the wall, her head lolled to one side, blood was pooling around as she was still clutching her stomach. She looked at me with a ghostly white stare.
"Your with AA..." She gasped and collapsed to the ground.
No....no...your not going to...DIE!!
I removed her hands and placed mine where the gunshot was.
Oh God....this is bad....
My hands started to glow a silvery white color that poured into the teacher. She started to convulse, jerking. I used all my strength to hold her down and heal her at the same time. I gasped, I was starting to feel the same gunshot wound as the healing was taking its course. The bond was becoming stronger. I groaned.
Aaaaah....
I immediately closed my eyes shut.
My hands were starting to pulsate as I continued to work.
Aaaaaaaahhhhhh....come...on....
My hands started to shake.
In the distance I could hear that the gunshots stopped.
In my mind I could see that some of the students were starting to get up.
Get............d....dddd....ooooo.....wwwwwnnnnnn..... I thought faintly.
I could hear that Michael and the others had rushed back.
"We...complet---" Ike said in the distance.
"Oh....shhhh---" Seth said.
"Get down!!!" Michael shouted as he inched his way towards me.
In my jet black hair a silver streak started to weave it's way down. Over my whole body, silver waves started to emit knocking Michael over.
It....bbuuuurrrrnnnssss....BURNSS!!
"Marie...." Michael thought.
"I know... that voice....Michael..."
I whipped my face towards him, I opened my eyes. He gasped. I knew why, my eyes were like silver pools.
He turned to the team.
"Get everyone to move the desks against the windows!! And the door!!Now!!!!" Michael ordered. Everyone moved with a quickness.
I pain hit my head as if someone with me with a sledge hammer.
Aaaahhhhh....I groaned outloud as I looked down at the teacher.
Tears started to pour down my cheeks, as my whole body started to shake.
Michael quickly turned my face to his as he cupped my face with both hands.
"I'm here....."
I looked at his eyes. His dreamy eyes. He got closer to my face, the face shield lifted up. He cupped my face tighter.He inched towards me, eyes closed.
"Aaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!"........I doubled over.
"Help...me...." I cried to Michael, crying even more.
"You can do this. Finish it." He said firmly.
I immediately looked back at the teacher, her small innocent face, as poured everything I had into her. My face started to get hot as everything was radiating from within. I could not control the movements of my hands as I continued to heal her. Michael swiftly placed hands on-top of mine.I looked back at him, sweat beading on his forehead. I gulped when every fiber in me screamed to life as one final burst of energy emitted from me lighting up the whole classroom. I fell into Michael's arms as everything went black.
-----------------------
I was floating in blackness, drifting. As I was starting to hear voices out of the darkness.
"Marie..." Someone said.
"Wake up." Another said worriedly
"Please......" Someone said as I was starting to feel a tightness around me as if I was being held.
"Michael!" I gasped as I opened my eyes.
Micheal still holding me. "Thank God!!" As he squeezed me.
The whole team was around me.
"The teacher!!" I realized, as I tried to get up.
"Whoa!" Michael said "She's fine, thanks to you."
The team started to part as the teacher came into view, sitting on the ground with a smile on her face students swarming her with hugs. When she noticed me looking at her, she got up.
"Help me up." I asked Michael.
"Are you sure?" Ike said.
"Yeah, I mean you don't look to hot." Seth said bluntly.
"Thanks a lot. But I'm fine."
Micheal let go of me and helped me up with one arm underneath me. I stumbled a bit.
The teacher walked up to me a wrapped both arms around me and hugged me tight.
"Thank you..." she whispered in my ear.
"It's what we do." I smiled back.
----------------------------------
INFO: The aliens are much like us, bipedal, speak English. The only difference is that they are ghostly pale with silver swirls running up their bodies. Some agreed to a truce with us, but others did not.
Obviously.
"Okay, so we only have this side of the building secured. Right?" I said as I drew on the white board.
"Correct." Ike chirped.
"We need to get to the front. Ike did you contact AA?" I asked
"Affirmative capitan." He said with enthusiasm.
"We need to put the plan into action." I nodded.
I walked up to the students and spoke calmly.
"I need every single one of you to be as calm as you possibly can be. There are about twenty aliens on the other side of the classroom door down the hall." I pointed.
"I'm going to need one of my partners to change into a werewolf." I gestured to Seth.
Seth let out a whine. It was always painful for him to change back and forth.
"Fine." He grumbled, and grinning.
Awww...poor baby....I chuckled, kidding myself.
Michael chuckled also crossing his arms, trying to lighten the mood, for he knew what I was thinking.
I am about to put one of my teammates through a lot of excruciating pain.
We moved the desks away from the classroom door. My team had their back against the door as the students were on the other side of the classroom. Seth was smack in the middle.
"Okay." Seth said taking a deep breath as he tried to relax.
His suit retracted into his tattoo on his arm leaving him in only his boxers, showing Seth's extremely toned body. We just stared. Eliminated the awkwardness Michael chuckled out-loud.
"Thanks a lot man." Seth glared with his boyish grin.
"At least we know you have been working out..." He laughed posing.
He just looked at everyone and busted out laughing, everyone soon was laughing along.
"Man my stomach hurts." Ike said in-between the laughter, smiling.
Seth took a breather and sighed loudly blowing out all his air.
"Okay...."
Aaaaaahhhhh....Seth thought as he collapsed onto the ground. I winced at the pain he was about to go through. The Seth I knew was about to be gone. Michael glanced my way, I looked back.
The sound of crunching bones took my attention away from him and straight to Seth. The students gasped at how loud the sound was. We moved back a little as we continued to listen to the snapping, cracking and crunching of bones and tissue.
Noooooo.....ughhhhh.....Seth thought.
Fur started to sprout of the back of Seth, before we knew it, Seth was fully transformed. He approached me, growling with anger in his eyes. The sound of claws were clicking against the tile floor. He snarled at me as he opened and closed his jaws, spit dripped down. I approached him with head held high and an outstretched arm.
Seth. I know you are in there. The beast is not in control.
He lunged forward. I quickly jumped back.
Come on Seth. Seth.
He started to whine, as I said his name.
Yes! Seth, Seth. That's you!!
Instantly Seth got down and started to wag his tail and cocked his head to one side.
"Well that escalated quickly." Jessica and Jinnifer said at the same time.
Ugh...I'm never going to get used to that.
I manifested a dog treat out of my hand and quickly gave it to Seth.
"You know Seth's going to be mad that you gave him that. You know it gives him an upset stomach." Ike said brightly.
"I know." I chuckled as I patted his Seth's head as he ate the dog treat.
"Seth." I commanded. Seth looked straight at me.
"You know what to do."
Seth's demeanor instantaneously changed as he began to growl.
"Open the door!"
We let Seth out as he began to howl and charge, quickly we slammed shut the door behind him. You could hear shout, screams and gunfire. Just as quickly as the noise started, it was quiet again. I had my face against the door. Startlingly, a knock echoed off the door front the other side. "Shush" I mouthed. Our face shields immediately closed over. I burst open the door to find none other than Seth.
"Dang!! Don't kill me now. The coast is clear." Seth said panting. He was covered in grey blood and sweat. He had his suit on but only the pants.
"Hot much??" I laughed.
"Dude I'm burning up!!! We need some AC UP IN HERE!!!" He said fanning himself. I ruffled his brown curls, he smiled with his boyish face as dimples showed. I nodded as we took out our weapons.
We herded the group down the hall occasionally killing as couple of aliens along the way. Light was pouring around the corner as I knew we had made it to the front doors. Some of the students cheered quietly.
As we opened the doors and stepped out into the light, we were face with hundreds of guns from all directions, pointing straight at the group. In the back you could hear some of the students whimpering. I held my arms out, with my sword outstretched to my side. The others did the same, providing a boundary between us, the innocent and the aliens. I looked across the view, as our ship was in stealth mode, silently making it's way towards us.
The ship is here. I told everyone with my mind.
I laid down my weapon as the others followed suit. I scanned the aliens, until I came upon one looking me straight in the eyes with startling sapphire blue eyes. He lowered his gun slightly and winked.
What?! Did he just wink.....
He winked again.
He did!
Right after, I nodded slightly. Acknowledging that I understood, he aimed his gun and fired at the aliens towards his left, making a small opening for our group to squeeze by. We swiped our weapons off of the ground. Our ship had just landed behind the aliens making a whooshing sound. I ushered the group to our ship, slicing aliens along the way.
The other aliens grabbed "Wink". (that is what I have decided to call him, the guy who helped.) They sarted to beat him up and shout.
"TRAITOR!!!" The aliens shouted, kicking Wink in the face and side. The group had made it to the ship as my team was continuing to fight, backs to the ship. They were trying to keep the aliens from attacking the ship. The battle was becoming perilous.
We are not going to win this one.
"Get to the ship!! Now!! That's an order!" I shouted to my team. Without delay they headed towards the ship. I placed my sword on the magnet on my back as I ran to where Wink laid lifelessly on the ground.
"What are you doing?!" Michael shouted from the ship. I ignored.
I used my telekinesis and shoved the front line of the aliens into the air giving me some space to run to Wink.
That's is going to give me a headache later.
I squatted down cupping his face, his eyes were closed from shock. I grabbed Wink in the front, underneath both arms pulling him to his feet.
Oh my...all the blood. Why??
He had been beaten to a pulp almost disfigured. His dog tags jingled as pulled Wink along. We turned his face towards me and opened his eyes. His eyes were beyond gorgeous. Sparkling like pools of the clearest blue water.
"Hubba, Hubba!! Wait. What?! Did I really just think that?? This guys dieing. FOCUS!!! Okay."
I started to inch my way to the ship.
Michael was running towards me shouting.
Huh...
Before I could react one of the aliens came up from behind Wink and I. The sound of slicing material and skin filled my ears. A gun shot fired, killing the alien behind me. A volley of bullets filled the air. The alien had sliced my neck with a knife. I could feel the warmth running down my chest. A copper taste filled my mouth. A pressure was filling my throat as I was spitting up blood. I could not breath, I let go of Wink and grabbed my neck falling on both knees to the ground. Wink had fallen to his side unable to move his arms and legs.
I.....can't.....breath.....
I fell next to Wink. He looked at me with so much concern it could of killed someone. I gasped. He reached out with one arm with all the strength that he could find and touched my face with tenderness. My whole body shuttered. I had noticed that he had his dog tags on and I grasped them with one of my bloodied hands while the other held my neck. The sounds of my heart pumping filled my ears and blocked any sound.
I could see Michael running towards us as my vision started to cloud. He swiped me up off the ground leaving Wink on the ground. I turned to look at my hand, it had Wink's dog tags in it. He used his quick speed and laid me on the ships floor and placed an oxygen mask on me. Then he place gauze on my neck, I winced as more blood poured out of my mouth. I looked out at the side of the ship to see Wink lifeless on the ground while the other aliens swarmed around him. I looked back towards Michael.
I'm cold....
"Hurry!!" He shouted to the pilot.
A burning sensation started to fill my head as I started to convulse.
Aaaaagggggggghhhh!!!!
And then it went black.
