We all met at the old high school that was closed down due to a severe massacre.
"This is the place?" Sky shivered, which was ironic.
"Yeah, this is it." Pink opened the old wooden door to t he entrance. "Come on we have to save her." We inched into the dark lobby. I made a small light orb that glowed little bright. The lobby was so old and run down.
"This is a four story building, where are we going to find her?" I asked. The school was big in length, width, and height so I had to ask.
We walked into an eerie hallway. Sky jumped as a rattlesnake crawled over his shoe, rattling wildly. There was a sudden explosion behind us that sent us flying foward. The fire that engulfed the hallway lit it up dimly, stell eerily dark.
Three figures emerged from the flames. One wore an orange T-shirt, that tightened around his body, and black, slick, skinny jeans. He grew an orange orb in his hand and sent it flying behind us.
"Boom!" another explosion shook the ground.
"Grab them!" he commanded shrilly. He held the other two back against his command. "I got the one with the yellow shirt!" he smiled evilly as I swallowed my fear.
The other two darted towards us. They grabbed Pink and Sky. My friends struggled in the others' arms. I stood and shot a thin quick beam at the guy but he dodged it. He got closer and I could see that he wasn't a guy but a girl! She sent another orange ball at me but I ducked and charged at her, hands glowing.
I dodged another one of her orbs as I got close to her. I threw a quick punch, but, should my moves actually mean anything with fighting a girl, she dodged it and juked to my right. I could notice now that Pink and Sky had gotten out of-- Wait!--out of the other two girls' arms! Pink turned into a wasp and fell out of a girl's arms, who was wearing a lime green shirt under a short cut, long sleeved black leather jacket and kaki shorts, then turned into a red bull, which he used to ram the girl who wore a black shirt with lavender flower designs over a wavy lavender skirt. She quickly burst into lavender flower petals and again next to the other in lime green.
Sky quickly released a wind that dowsed the flames, darkening the now cool hallway. To my sense of hearing I heard a short period of buzzing then a snap and a thick "Poof!" Someone grabbed my arm and pulled me along.
"Ok, we need light, Spark." With the sound of my 'supername' I created another small yellow light orb that dimly brightened the hallway. It was lightly condensed with red smoke and we heard the three girls coughing, coming closer.
"How could you let them get away?!" one of them asked, their heels clicked along the floor while we fled up the stairs.
"Hold on, I think I just heard someone go up those stairs!"
We were about to run at the sound of that but were stopped by the three girls in our way now.
"Who are you?" I asked stunned. They smiled wickedly.
"Tangerine." said the one in the orange T-shirt.
"Flor." the one in lavender designs.
"Sting." finally the one in lime green. They all giggled innocently which made me feel worse.
Flor lashed her hand at Pink and it stretched, growing sharp lavender thorns, long and big. He jumped and transformed into a red dove then into a lion landing on the floor. He roared then charged at her. She retracted her arm then held out her palm, shooting razor sharp lavender petals at him. He burst into red smoke and again next to me as Tangerine darted towards me. I increased the frequency in the orb and tossed it at her. She wasn't the only one who could throw dangerous glowing orbs. She stopped as it crashed at her feet. She was flung into the air by the impact and hung there by the force of Sky's power.
IT wasn't long for her to touch the floor again as Sting lashed at Sky with a green energy blade. He dodged her slashes as Tangerine got to her feet. She snarled at me. I darted into a class room that looked like Sky had practiced in it. She appeared in the doorway covered in dust and soot.
"Grrrrr!" she growled then ran towards me grabbing a teacher's desk.
She threw it and I dove away. I got up and saw the hole in the wall that led to the open outside air. Where's Tangerine? She disappeared. I turned to meet her fist in my cheek. I flew across the room and slammed into the wall. I began to glow. My face felt hot. I got to my feet and darted at her, landing a punch in her nose with a "Boom!" She flew into the wall with a "Crack!" She pulled herself out of the hole and landed on her feet. Her expression was murder. I darted back outside the classroom. I ran to the next one and waited by the door. As I expected she marched in after me. I planted another powered punch into her face and she crashed to the floor. I grabbed her up and tossed her into the hallway and she landed hard. All my tae-kwon-do practice paid off to make it this far. As I recall, Pink and Sky were also in the same class as me. We three were the best in our class with me as the top.
Sky rushed the hallway with a cold hurricane. Pink, as an elephant, grabbed me and the girls flew across the tattered floor. For stretched her arms to grab onto the door frames, catching Tangerine and Sting. Sky stopped his attack and locked Flor's hands to the frames in solid ice. Sting shot lime green arrows at us then the three girls transported away from us. We dove to the floor and let the arrows zip over us. We paused panting, waiting for another attack. Then there was a scream.
"Shannon!" Pink jumped to his feet.
Shannon is Pink's sister who has lung cancer due to their abusive stepfather. They've always been close andveverything.
He filled the hallway with angry red wasps, then he started down it. We followed. For light, my fists glowed brightly as huge wasp shadows danced against the walls. We climbed upstairs into another hallway. The wasps quickly filled it, attacking startled rats on the floor. We slowly walked along and jumped as a loud piano key sounded.
