The Assistant

Chapter 7: Rage

I was sleeping, nothing but the silence of pre-evening, filling the air in my room. I then stretch to get comfortable, but I can't. I toss and turn but can't get comfortable anywhere. I groan in annoyance as I open my eyes and stare at my ceiling noticing a crack which annoys me. I turn around, so that my face is in my pillow. I turn my pillow around as I feel the cool air on it. I sigh as it makes my face a bit cooler then before. I then feel it get back to normal as I open my eyes and stare into my mirror. I see my enraged eyes as I turn to face the window soon getting bombarded by light from the sun, making my eyes hurt as I turn away.

I yell in annoyance as I hear my parents yell from the floor below, "Whatever" I mutter. I walk down to see my parents complain about how I yell every second and I act like I'm listening to them when I'm really not. I then slink back upstairs as I fall on the bed. As I quickly realized I missed the bed, hitting my face off the floor with a loud bang. I yell out in pain. I get up and sit on the bed groaning.

I then saw against my wall a shadow as I turn to see Murderer. I groan as I look away, "What do you want? I'm trying to sleep" I groaned. Murderer pulled off my blanket as I groan in annoyance, "Piss off, I'm trying yo sleep" I say, "I don't care. You need to get to the school now.." Murderer said. I get up and furrow my brow, "Why?" I ask.

Murderer turns around to look at me, "I lost Samuel, I noticed he went to the same school we do, he is going to go there" Murderer explained. I rolled my eyes, "Can we get him later I'm trying to sleep.." I groan. Murderer pulled me off the bed, making me land on the floor again, "Ow! You're such an ass sometimes" I complained, "Oh shut up, that's nothing compared to a bullet" Murderer replied, "You want motivation, I'll tell you something about Taurus" Murderer said.

I furrowed a brow, "But we wouldn't hide anything from-"
"I'll tell you if you come" Murderer said. I groaned, "You're lieing. I know when you are. Taurus would never lie to me" I said, putting my face in my pillow. Murderer sighed, "Fine. I'll kill your parents then, I guess that would be of equal value instead of killing you" Murderer said. I got up, "Fine I'll come" I said, regretting what I said.

Murderer smiled, "Good. Now, we shall be off" Murderer said, opening the window climbing out, then jumping on the ground, which was about 8 feet in the air. I carefully dropped and followed Murderer. We arrived at the base and as Murderer said, Samuel escaped. I shrugged my shoulders, "Why do I even care? You didn't even have to take him. You could've told him to shut up, or he dies" I explained.

Murderer turned and grabbed my throat and but me against the wall, "Don't test me" Murderer said angrily, throwing me to the ground. I coughed a bit and I stood up, "Then to the school then?" I asked. Murderer nodded as we left and headed to the school. The Sun was setting and it was getting chilly, the wind howling eerily, as we went to the entrance.

Murderer broke the door with the "chain scythe" and we walked into the school doors that were now unhinged from its doors.

Murderer then grabbed me and threw me against the wall as a flashlight appeared on the wall. It light got smaller, "Shit there's guards? Why does Murderer have to make me do this?" I thought to myself as we quickly hid behind a shelf. As the guard passed by, Murderer threw a dart at him. The guard turned but then fell to the ground.

I gasped, "Oh shush I paralyzed him, is all" Murderer said, "For an hour.." Murderer continued, climbing into a vent, I soon following, we then passed by our group hangout spot. Which had, Taurus, there talking to a guard, "You can go now.." the guard said, as Taurus got up and left the room. We then went and saw, Taurus outside with Aries, but we left their sight as We got to the next room.

We jumped down from the vents and we were in a pitch dark room. I felt around and heard something fall, it sounded something like glass. I jumped when I heard it, "Shit" I said, "Shut up.. you're gonna get me caught which will make you get caught" Murderer said, angrily. Suddenly a light came on and I could see what room We were in. It was the science lab, it looked around but couldn't see where I broke the glass object. I wafted the air with my hand and smelt something familiar but couldn't exactly remember.

I saw Murderer looking at something but then leaving to look through the door frame. I went to the door frame as well and saw Taurus with Aries, "Well, I don't know what you should do. Seems like, your shy that's all, you need to speak up and say it" Taurus was saying. Aries looked away, "Well. That's easy for you to say.." Aries replied. Taurus furrowed a brow, "Well I don't like being told what to do when I don't want to do it. That's why I speak up. You need to do the same." Taurus explained.

Aries thought for a second, "I don't know if they'll care though" Aries responded. Taurus smiled, "Yes they will believe you, no matter what" Taurus said. Aries smiled, "Thank you" Aries said, "Well, anyways, you have someone you care about a lot too?" Aries asked, "Well.. kinda.. but not really" Taurus said.

Aries was surprised, "Really, but you seem so kind.." Aries said, "Well yeah but.." Taurus was interrupted by Aries kissing Taurus. I fell back in shock but they not noticing the bang I made when I fell, I quickly got back up again as I saw Taurus pull back, "What Aries? What are you doing?" Taurus asked, "I thought you said I should speak up" Aries asked, leaning in again. Taurus stopped her, "Well you could've told me first" Taurus said. Aries blushed and looked away, "I'm.. I'm.. I'm..." Aries stuttered.Taurus then held Aries in a conferring embrace, "Its fine.. we've all been there.." Taurus said,

"Bullshit.." Murderer said, "What are you doing with that scythe?" Aries asked, scared, "Nothing but I am going to do this!" Murderer said, lighting a match and throwing it in a random direction. I saw where the match landed which was a few feet behind me. I smells smoke and saw a fire rise from the match as it quickly got bigger, as I realized, I spilt rubbing alcohol.

The fire surrounded me as I panicked, as I saw Murderer run away from the fire, I then saw something moving and saw Samuel, yelling, I grabbed him and ran, Samuel still screaming in fear as the roof started collapsing from the fire. I ran and saw the entrance but saw it collapse as well. I found a fire extinguisher, putting out the fire but the alcohol is feeding the fire to much. I cry as smoke fills my lungs as I soon cough, "Why did this have to happen to me" I thought smoke filling my nose. I then saw a fire fighter break through the entrance and grab me and Samuel.

I cry in happiness and joy as I got into a hospital bed and got oxygen into my lungs. I breathed and then passed out. Not seeing Murdered in my sight.
