Secret's P.O.V.

"What happened in Mo-"

KABOOSH!

"Front cart has been damaged. Front cart has been damaged. Enemy in the perimeters. Enemy in the perimeters."

"WHAT WAS THAT?!" I shouted with panic while gathering my stuff and putting it in my bag. The others were doing the same. "I don't know. But it doesn't sound good." Charice said while sliding the door open. We then heard screams of students and cries.

What have I gotten into? A world of cries?

"Students! Please proceed to the second to the last cart of the train! Elemental users including the 3 girls please proceed to the last cart!" A voice boomed making me yelp a bit. The others didn't budge at all and Jeremy pulled my wist and then we started running with all the other boys towards the edge of the cart. Everyone was squishing themselves towards the opening the carts. Pushing, falling, tripping.

Out of no where I saw some black air above our heads, spreading everywhere. It stinks. Then realization hit me. I automatically whipped my head to the opposite direction of where I was heading. 😱

Fire!

I faced back to Jeremy who was still pulling my wrist. The fire is spreading fast and I don't know if these people who are panicking realizes it! Wait. Yes! I almost forgot about the water element! "Jesse! Fire!" I shouted and he looked at the back and his eyes widened. "There's no water anywhere! We're in the sky!" He shouted back making me panic. "Idiot."

The fire went down automatically and I whipped my head to Jeremy. He was frowning and moving at a faster pace while gripping my wrist much more tight. I mentally slapped myself.

Of course. Fire element.

We arrived at the second to the last cart when I saw black cloaked people that we can't even see their face. "The Star Academy!" I heard one of the male students shouted out loud then the next second I heard a shriek that caught my attention. The guy's ...guy's.........head.... "Jeremy! We need to help them!" I shouted while trying to go to the direction of the headless students and others students being slaughtered. Its a terrible sight.

Now, Jeremy's grip started to crush my bones. I-I can't feel... My arms... "Are you an idiot?! Your powerless against them! Your not even close to their level! Guns are useless against them, they're not humans!" Jeremy shouted. I felt watery things in my eyes. My body was shaking.. Shaking....out of fear. My body became numb and I didn't feel the pain Jeremy was giving me.

I guess his right. I'm too weak.

We arrived at the last cart where there was a large amount of space. The principal and the owner of the school. I saw it in their name tags. "So we're sitting ducks here?" Corin asked while gripping her bag. The owner opened something in the air and I saw seats of a helicopter. "An invisible helicopter?" Charice asked with awe and then hopped inside.

After we all hopped inside Corin and the owner of the school were in the driver seat. They pushed a green button then the ceiling broke into two and then we started flying. "I'm sorry we haven't introduce ourselves. I'm Mrs. Laforteza the principal and the other official there is the owner of the school, Mrs. Firgueroa." She said while we were shaking hands. "Mom, how many helicopters are tailing us?" Chloe asked which surprised me. Mom? The principal is her mom?! I thought it was our teacher. "9. Your tita is driving the second one." Mrs. Laforteza said calmly. I saw Chloe breathe out of relief.

ALERT!

ALERT!

ALERT!

INCOMING!

"Crap." Corin muttered and then the helicopter moved hard left suddenly and at a fast speed. I looked out the window and saw birch wood in a ball form engulf with fire. My eyes widened. "How can they do that?" I asked then another incoming fireball was approaching makeing us make a hard right. Everyone, including me, was gripping unto the handle bars. "Spells!" Jesse shouted. Corin, without looking back shouted "Charice! Can you see them at 12 o'clock , 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock?!?"

"Yeah!" She shouted back and then opened the door of the helicopter. Then I saw something transparent but solid surrounding the helicopter. "Is that a barrier?" I asked while looking at it curiously. Jeremy, Jesse, and Chloe looked at me with a surprise expression. "Y-you can ...see..it?" Chloe asked. I nodded. "Hm. So that means she can't see your barrier? I guess she can only see barriers that holds strong amount of power." Mrs . Laforteza said while her hands are stretched forward and her palms facing the open door. "No time for amazement." Jeremy interrupted and he threw fireballs at a group of black cloak people.

Then Chloe made a shower of lightning arrows while Jesse got a water bottle and then played with it for a while and made it more. "How did you do that?" I asked while eyeing. "It's a secret, Secret." He replied with a mysterious smile and then started throwing at a hunch of people wearing red cloak. Wow. "Uhm... Mrs. Laforteza, how many colors of cloak does the Star Academy have?" I asked and then the helicopter moved forward rapidly making me slide to the front a bit and gripped the handle.

"Can I help?" I asked no one in particular while watching my friends fight with their best. I feel so useless. "Sorry kiddo. But the best you can do now is hope for the best."
