Blood

Blood magic. Discovered in ancient times, the ability to manipulate blood and that means the ability to make people die at the wave of a hand. It was outlawed long ago but some stragglers formed cults, the most famous being the Black Bloods, they killed thousands with their power, which only made people hate blood magic even more. It was officially outlawed in 1208 the punishment for even knowing blood magic is inescapable death

The shroud of blood around my hand was so blinding. I took one look at hobby and the look of anger, fear or something else covered his face.  What was going through my head at the moment was
"Whelp they're gonna kill me now"
Hobby reached for something under his desk and in that moment I heard Dmitri shout out to me.
"RUN, RUN NOW!"
He didn't have to tell me twice,  in a split second I ran for my dorm because I new of the small window with iron bars that I might be able to slip out of. 
As soon as I got in the dorm I slammed the door and tried to lock it but only now did I realize that it didn't have one,  I don't know why I thought there would be one. I decided that I could push the dresser in front of the door then use the bed to jump up to the window but it fell short I was stuck in here. On top of hobby yelling and banging on the door I didn't even notice that Dmitri had slipped in through the door before I put the dresser in front of it. Dmitri was a slick one,  always causing trouble but never getting caught.
Without batting an eye he manipulated the water on the ground from the leaking pipes then turned the water into a ice blade and cut through the iron bars.
He looked at me with confidence
I looked at him like he was crazy but I went with it.
"Come here,  I will boost you up to the window"
I nodded and stepped onto his hands,  he lifted me up and I grasped the window sill but as I was pulling myself up I hear a loud bang behind me.
