>>>><Edge of the Blade ><<<<
We all silently prepared.
Headlight. Flashlight, And....i slid my foot across the floor revealing a knife.
It's something my dad for me when i was younger, since i didn't find much interest in fighting.
"Oh! It's the killies!" He points at my shoes
"No, don't call them that." I give him a concerned look, like he's stupid.
"Why? They're like wheelies but y'know, with knives. Your dad's pretty awesome to make something like that. They didn't even break when you used them during practice!"
Well actually, it was my mom.
I took a breath before speaking, "Hey um, before we go- I just wanted to... apologize... for earlier. When I snapped at you guys."
Taylor, the peacemaker, de-escalated the situation in her usual manner."It's okay now, don't worry. We all have our moments right?" And Aiden, being the instigator we all know him as, started to pick a fight. (Again.)
"Yeah, Tyler has his everyday!"
"Excuse me?"
"G-guys we just stopped fighting. Don't start again please..." Logan spoke up.
I attempted to do a small pep talk before we left.
"Alright, then let's do this."
That's all i got...
Aiden stood up to stretch beside me, and I scolded for him to get down. Something big was going down, and my full concentration was required. Everything was set, all final preparations made. We were really going to do this now.sh looked towards Logan, a small glint of worry visible in my eyes,
"You sure your injury is okay Logan?"
"Yeah, it's pretty much gone now. It's weird."
My arm also healed up pretty quickly...
Ok...We're really doing this..
Aiden turns to me "Now?"
"....Now." I reply sternly. I play the music on the speakers.
The speakers a bit away started to play. "PARTY WALKERS IN THE YARD TONIGHT. EVERYONE JUST HAVE A GOOD FUN TIME." All the phantoms bolted towards the screaming sounds of the music.
Tyler turned to Aiden with a scowl. "Are you serious? Party walkers??"
"It's a good song!" And with that, Aiden jumped the wall, completely ignoring his rope and landed at the bottom. I yelled down at him.
"The rope Aiden!! The rope!!"
"It's okay, I'm durable!"
"Idiot!" I grumble.
Taylor was freaking out quietly to herself.
"We're doing this. Aaah we're really doing this. Alright, it's okay. We can do it. Go team."
Honestly-- that was more of a pep talk then i did...The second my feet hit the ground, I bolted.
I shout, "Run!" behind me as we all worked to get there before the phantoms. Before danger hit.
While we still had the chance.
