Superhero Academy

Betrayal Chapter 15

Leopard's P.O.V when at the café

Me, Katie and Nicole rode back down the elevator,though we had to stop at the next floor, I raced Nicole and Katie's super fast elevator down, of course I won. I ran straight past the elevator at the girls at our destination. When they got there the line was nearly trailing toward the school. I was in the middle sorta. "Nicole, Katie! Hurry up, your so slow sometimes, ha ha." They grinned and said, "At least we have our spot saved by you." I laughed and said, "How do you know I'm saving your spots?" They stared at me horrified, "Just kidding!" I said and laughed. They sighed in relief. We chatted for a while, finally we were actually in the building. I could nearly taste the food, when suddenly the doors were banged so hard the glass on them shattered, through them came a running Cassie panting, "Alex... sword... attack..." Suddenly she fell to the ground, breathing but barely. "Cassie!!!" I screamed! I put her in my arms, and ran straight back to the apartment, blind to Nicole and Katie frozen in place stunned. I didn't notice the tears streaming off my face either. I did't notice stumbling on a rock, injuring my ankle badly. I needed to get Cassie to safety, the only true friend I ever or will have. I ran straight up the stairs, they were faster than the elevator. After a few seconds I reached the top and laid Cassie on her head. Only then did I feel my exhaustion, and my ankle. I wiped off my tears and begged to whatever gods or goddesses there were to heal my friend. I gathered myself together and sat by Cassie's bed. Nicole and Katie rushed in, carrying medicine and food. "What's wrong with her!?" They said in worry. They saw my face and became quiet. Nicole came over to me and put her hand on my shoulder. "A-are you okay?" The tears burst out of my eyes, I took a deep breath and said, "Yeah, Cassie won't die, right?" I heard mechanic clicking in her head, "Please. Don't die Cassie. I can't loose you, my friend." I got up out of my chair and headed toward the stairs, "Where are you going?" Katie called after me, in a small voice. "Outside, to think. If she starts to wake up, tell me. I'll be in the woods." I replied, my voice started breaking. I needed to get out of there fast, I wanted to punch something so bad. I ran back down the stairs. I remembered my ankle. "I'm fine." I thought, "I'll take a little walk then come back." I went to the woods and heard voices coming from deep inside. I followed my keen sense of hearing and found Alex and a few other kids I recognized from Villain Academy all in a small circle. I hid behind a tree and listened in. "The plan is complete, Leopard's walls have been broken. She will be vulnerable enough to kill." I heard Alex say. "You are sure she's dead?" asked another person. I seemed the voice familiar. "Of course she is!" boasted Alex. "Good, because if she isn't..." I saw the man appear opposite side from me. I crouched as he looked where I was. "Of course! Who dares test me!?" Alex said, then he saw the man behind him, "Err I mean, yes sir, we will set off taking over Villain Academy immediately! We just need to get that school trophy, imbedded with magic. The whole school will mourn so bad they'll play like rubbish."  I scowled at his foolish comment. Cassie was not dead, and I will compete bravely for her no matter what. "She's here." growled the man. My heart skipped a beat. "What? No! Impossible!" said Alex, then he saw me. "Why you little." I took his angry outrage as a time to run, but I had to avenge Cassie. "For Cassie!" I yelled. I brought my claws out and charged at him. I slashed at his back before he had time to react. "Ahh" He yelled, I realized I'd opened a old wound. I scraped against his arm and heard Nicole and Katie calling my name. I raced back to the apartment, hoping Cassie was alive.
