52. Isaac

Riley sat down next to Scott on the bleachers as she was eager to tell him what she found out. She didn't know why they were enemies, but she needed to tell someone about it. It was halfway through the game, and the team was slowly catching up.

"Scott, I need to tell you something. Something about -- Is that Isaac?" She was soon distracted as she saw Isaac on the field attacking his team members. "What is he doing?"

Scott's leg was shaking up and down as he watched anxiously. "He's trying to get me into the game. I'm not allowed to play because my grades are slipping. I need to get to Jackson before he kills someone."

Riley momentarily forgot what she was going to say as she watched Isaac beat up his players. The Coach was yelling at him from the sidelines, but Isaac but ignored him. The game soon started up again and Coach was only down to Scott. Unless Isaac got rid of another player, Scott wouldn't be able to play.

The game was intense. The opposite team threw the ball to one of its teammates and three of the Cyclones went to catch the ball which included Isaac and Jackson. They all had rammed into each other and Isaac went down. Riley gasped along with the crowd and watched as he lay there, afraid that something was broken. It would have healed, of course, but that did not eliminate her concern. Scott jumped up and ran over to him, as two paramedics came over with a stretcher. They pulled Isaac onto it and took him off the field. Riley felt compelled to go after him, but she wanted to make sure that everyone else was okay. But then again, of course they would be okay; Scott was there. That was enough, right? Plus, what could Riley do to help anyway? She was better off aiding Isaac. The game lasted for another 15 minutes, and she was sure that she would be back by then.

She got up and hurried after Isaac who was taken into the school. They were about 100 metres in front of her, but she was determined to catch up with him.

"Excuse me!" She heard someone yell behind her. She stopped running and looked back, seeing the principal walking up to her. Gerard Argent, Allison's grandfather. Of course it was an Argent; why do they have to be everywhere? "Are you really going to miss the game? It looks like a good one!"

Riley breathed heavily and put her hands on her hips as she looked back at the progressing game.

"Um, not really. I was just going to the bathroom. That's why I was running. I don't want to miss it." She lied, knowing enough that she should be skeptical about them. The old man watched her, trying to find signs of lying.

"Ah, of course. Well then, carry on. The school is locked however, so you're better off using the public ones across the road." He answered, and Riley nodded. He was lying, she knew it. Where are they taking Isaac if it wasn't the school? This whole thing seemed fishy to her.

"Okay, thanks." She smiled, and turned around and hurried to the school. She made a turn and ran around the school so Mr. Argent believed that she went across the road, but then she circled around and went inside the school. She looked around for Isaac, but she didn't know where to look. He could be anywhere, and she was starting to worry. She listened carefully for anything, and heard muffled noises. She didn't know where they were coming from, which frustrated Riley. She was close, yet so far. She wandered around, not believing that she could lose Isaac. Well, it wasn't that unbelievable; she was quite far away from them after all. She looked around hurriedly, looking into random classrooms and finally going down the stairs towards the locker rooms. She might as well look in there, right? She stopped dead silent when she heard footsteps above her and voices in the locker room. She quickly ran over to the boys locker room where the door was wide open. Isaac was sprawled across the ground, trying to move. He looked paralyzed, when Riley realized that Jackson must have done it.

"Isaac, are you okay?" She asked as she ran inside and tried to help Isaac up. He looked at her with widened eyes and he tried to shake his head.

"Riley, get out of here! They're going to kill you, get out!" He warned, as she struggled to get up.

"I'm not leaving you, not like this. Who's trying to kill me?" She asked, but then stopped silently when she heard someone tut at the door.

"Don't worry Isaac. I might not kill her, but I will kill you."
