The Devil's Rebirth (On Hold)

Chapter 4

My thigh was literally burning! Claire was still trying to kill me. Blood was gushing out of my wound. Claire took her sword out of my thigh and tried to attack again. I jumped back. Ouch! My thigh was still in pain.

I started breathing harder. I summoned my weapon. My shiny, black scythe was in my hands. My leg hurt too much to move. So I flew. I raised my scythe up. When it hit the ground she had already moved away. She was quick.

Suddenly, she came up behind me. I hit my right leg into the ground and jumped. She had injured my left leg. I tried to fly again. But Claire flew up too. She wasn't this fast when I last battled her.

She flew toward me. I slashed my scythe in the air. It had cut her stomach, ripping her shirt. It was more deeper than I expected. Blood was oozing out of it. A lot of blood. I could almost see inside it if i had cut a little deeper.

She clutched her stomach. Now! I flew toward her and tried to attack again. My blade hit her right shoulder. Which was her dominant arm.I also kicked her stomach.

She started coughing up blood. Her red blood stained my white shirt. She grabbed my tie with her left arm and and punched my face.

Damn, that was a hard punch! I fell back a little. She kneed my stomach with a lot of strength. I landed back on to the ground. Landing on my back. She jumped down, pointing her sword downward. She was aiming for my heart. My scythe was still in her shoulder. She was getting closer.

Then everything was in slow motion. I pulled myself up. I started to run. My leg still hurt and my stomach still ached.

I can't stand it! I was always the tougher one in a duel! I never ran away. I was always the one chasing. She was still chasing me. I stopped, and swiftly turned around,punching her in the face. Her nose started bleeding. I grasped my scythe and pulled it out. I was panting. Gasping for breath.

I heard the door burst open. I looked at it. There were two teachers and the principal, Principal Frasier.

I was so distracted when they came in that I forgot all about Claire. Well, Claire wasn't distracted. She slashed my face, on my forehead. Blood started flowing down fast, stinging my eyes. I was about to pay her back but the two teachers had grabbed us both.

The teachers had something in their hands. It was a thick metal ring. It had a red light glowing on it.  They both put the rings on our ankles.

The red light on the rings turned green. Then it felt like something was sucking out my energy. I was feeling weak and so was Claire.I looked around the gymnasium. There was blood splattered everywhere.

I fell to my knees. The teachers carried us to three story building. I had seen that building earlier and wondered what it was.

It was a prison. There wasn't anyone there. Cells were on both sides of the long hallway. It was kind of dark and the walls were gray. All of the cells had one little window. There were dimming lights on the ceiling.

The put both us together in one cell. The cell wasn't that small, but it wasn't that big either. I sat up against a wall. Claire was laying on the ground near the wall opposite of me. There were bars on the front of the cell, the other sides were gray walls. 

Why would they put us in a cell together? There were plenty other ones. I think we were the only prisoners in here too.

"You two will be staying here over the weekend." Oh, right it's Friday."Some Medics will come here and cure you later," one of the teachers said. He closed the bars and locked it."This is punishment for attacking each other."

"Whatever, she attacked me first," I muttered. I looked at Claire and she was sitting up too. She was still glaring at me but didn't look like she would attack me again.
