The School of Freaks

Chapter 9

Malia POV

587

587 survivors. 587 survivors out of the 3,014 people that were inside of the building. So many were dead, many I didn't know some I did. I learned that Beth a friend of mine had been killed in the explosion. Many of the class d and c were killed because their was dorms were closest to the source of the explosion. We were fortunate all of the Class E members were alive but not in fighting condition. While everyone rest and healed. Aspen, Luke, and I kept watch. We put up force fields around the group of students. We've been resting outside the school for about a day and a half. Most suffered form burns and cuts caused by the falling rumble.

Aspen, Luke, and I haven't slept since the bombing. We all feared what was to happen if we fell asleep. We searched the ruins of the school for any remaining survivors and supplies. Luckily the woods was filled with nuts and berries but you can only live off nuts and berries for so long. Sooner or later we'd run out of food. Water wasn't problem there was a river near by and with all of water users, we could just pull water out of the air if we had to. We knew that sooner of later the rebels would be back to take any power they could find. They must of assumed that everyone was killed and they could take our power off of our dead bodies. Yeah right. like that was going happen.

We knew they'd be back the question was when and where.

"HELP!" someone screamed. I guess that answers my questions. We sprinted towards the scream.

Alexis POV

We surrounded by men and women dressed in black all holding what looked like guns. A section parted and a man came forward and spoke.

"Where is the the deadly 3?" He asked. His voice sounded very familiar. I know he was one over the pa system that announced class E. Someone shouted help but than a gun shot was heard followed by a few short screams.

"Why do you want to know?" Lani asks the sass in her voice very obvious. Oh god Lani....

"You mean you don't know?" The man snickered."I'll ask again, where is the deadly 3?" We were all silent, they had left to do a perimeter check a while ago.

"Right here asshole." 3 figures jumped over the group of students. Malia looked really pissed, and terrifying. She stood in the middle of Aspen and Luke who look just about ready to kill.

"Ah there you are." The man says as if their old friends.Are the rebels this crazy? You couldn't see their faces because they were covered by masks or hoods.

"What do you want?" Malia asked so forcefully even though the question wasn't directed at me I had to back up in fear. Who knew my friends were so scary. Although Aspen and Luke didn't say anything they glared at anyone who dared to look them in the eye.

"We want you to join us." The man simply states." Aren't you of dragging around all of that dead weight. Your powers far out match all of them." The silence was killing me.

"We'll join you..." Malia says and than continues. "We'll join you...IN HEll."

With that the deadly 3 sprinted forward and attacked anyone and everything. I saw Malia put up a force field around us preventing anyone from getting in or out. Many of the rebels ran away, other who were stupid enough to stay were blown away by the powerful attacks the deadly 3 dished out.

"A15" Malia shouts. They run up trees and jump onto their enemies below them. They weave in and out of each others attacks, they would punch over each other. Could they read each others minds? They moved in Sync and never faltered. Malia turned and ran towards Aspen who sent her sky high. Malia hit the ground sending out a wave of energy that took out any remaining rebels. Aspen and Luke had to jump to avoid being hit themselves. Most of the rebels had dragged themselves off the ground and ran away as fast as they could. One poor soul was left behind and was being held firmly in place by Aspen and Luke. He struggled but he couldn't get free of their grasp.

"Everyone pack up, help the injured. We're leaving the area its no longer safe here. We leave in 2 hours" Malia ordered, no said anything against it. They dragged the rebel off deeper into the woods. Who knows what those 3 had in store for him.

Malia POV

I need answer and this poor dude is going to give it to me. We took of his mask and it turned out he could only be a few years older than me. He had black hair and brown eyes. Using vines aspen bound him to a tree.

"Whats your name?" I ask him. He doesn't answer instead he looks away. Okay be that way. I walked up to him and kicked him where the sun don't shine.

"Whats your name?" I ask again sweetly.

"Ashton Wood." He chokes out. He glares at me

"Do you know who I am?" I ask. They must be getting information from somewhere otherwise they wouldn't have known that our nickname was the deadly 3.

"Yes."Ashton says quietly.

"What did your boss what with us?" Luke calls out from behind me.

"He wants to use your powers." Simple answer, he's trying to leave something out.

"We know that. Why us?" Aspen asks. Ashton stays quiet.

"Do you want another kick?" I say. No answer. Maybe we can bribe him.

"We'll let you live and go freely if you answer our questions." I say.

"We want your powers because you're different." Ashton says. Great way to be specific.

"Different how?" I ask, what the hell was he talking about.

"Your powers are different because...You're not human."
