Mutants

Chapter 4: You Can't See Me

Ok, I have been Waiting for 30 minutes in the corner of the girl's restroom! Thank god no one has needed the toilet! Yet... The door slowly creeks open. I panicked! I ran as quietly (I know, contradictory. Again) to get behind the door. But a thought popped into my head. This could be Jasmine! I take a peek. I let out a slight sigh of relief. It's Jasmine!
"Hey! Ja-Jasmine!" I whisper! She turns around in surprise!
"Jesus Christ! You scared the crap out of me Bryce!" She declared.
"I'm so-sorry!" I replied. Jasmine walked into a stall and called me over with a suspiciously seductive hand gesture. I snuck over, closed and locked the door from the inside. It's a very cramped stall, I feel her hot breath on my neck. There's almost no room, she's trying to make some room but accidentally rubbing up against me.
"Whatever! Ok, our first recruit is Elma Green." She announced while passing me a file. I open it up with a picture of an emo chick.
"What ca-can she d-do?" I question.
"Let's just say, no one'll ever see her coming!"

We leave the stall and the bathroom.
"She should be in science class!" She says while walking away.
"How do yo-you know f-that?" I ask.
"Remember? I'm the office assistant! I have access to everyone's timetables!"
"O-ok then."
We walk onwards to the Science and Tech section of the school. Jasmine walks up to the door of one of the science rooms and tries to peek into the window on the door but she isn't tall enough! She's pretty short! I giggle. She turns to me and gives me a death stare. I shrug it off and pretended nothing happened!
"As what I can see," Jasmine says while walking over to me, "No thanks to you, she's in there!"
"Ok f-then, what do wa-we do?" I ask.
"I'll lead her outside saying that Lucas needs her help, and you grab her and chuck her in my truck!" (Lucas is Elma's crush)
"WH-WHAT!?"
"Shut up!"
"So-sorry! But we're kidnapping her?"
"Yeah, got any better ideas?"
"No..."
"Ok, lets do it!"

I'm waiting outside in an alleyway like pathway between two buildings for Elma and Jasmine!
There's a very conveniently placed rubbish bin next to a wall where I'm hiding behind it.
"He fell and only wanted you to help him!" I hear Jasmine say in the distance. "Quick! Hurry hurry!" Oh shit! They're here!
"He's just around the corner!" Jasmine continues. They both pass me and I grab Elma with one arm around her neck and putting a black fabric bag over her head with the other.
"Quick! Hurry hurry!" Jasmine repeats.
Jasmine had positioned her truck at the end of the alley way! I place her in the trunk and close! We both hurry over to the doors and drive off!
"Did we d-do the right thing?" I ask.
"We did the only thing we could!" She replies.
I hear Elma yelling form the trunk. I sigh.

We arrived at the abandoned warehouse and took Elma inside still with the bag on her head.
"She must have knocked herself out!" Jasmine says while we carry her inside.
"Tru-true..." I reply with guilt in my voice. "She was ma-my friend..."
"I'm sorry Bryce, she wouldn't have come with us otherwise! We've tried before, Elma ran away and barely talked to me again! This was our last chance!" She announced. We finally got her inside and sat her in front of the round planning table and removed the bag from her head. Lucas walked over to Elma and tried to wake her. This was heart braking for him. He loves Elma and to see her come in unconscious plus kidnapped, was the hardest thing he'd ever seen and done!
"Did you... *sniff* do this Bryce?" Lucas says in agony.
"N-no, we didn't" I reply apologetically. "She knocked herself out trying to escape from the trunk of the truck. I'm sorry..."
"It's ok... It was the only thing we can do!" He replies. "Elma! Hey Elma, time to wake up!"
"Lu-LUCAS!?" Elma wakes up in a shock! "WHERE AM I!?"
"It's ok Eh-Elma!" I walk up to Elma trying to comfort her. "It's me, we're in d-da-the Graduates base!"
"NO! Not this again!" She snaps!
"Please we need your ha-help!" I beg. "Do ya-you want to come here wa-when you graduate!?" I kneel down whilst grabbing her by the collar. "Please! This is your only hope!"
"Let go of her!" Lucas demands while pulling me back! "Elma..." Lucas' tone lowers. "Please!"
"Lucas... I..." Elma pauses. "I don't want to die!"
"Nothing will happen to you under my watch!" Lucas says whilst slowly grabbing her hand.
"Ok... For you Lucas..." Elma says. A cheer once again surrounds the room. I pull Jasmine away from Elma.
"Is this it? Do we ha-have to do anything else?" I ask.
"No, we've got lots more do Bryce..." Jasmine replies, "Thanks for sticking with us... *sniff*" She wipes away a tear. "You're our only hope Bryce..." She kisses me on the cheek and runs of into the crowd. They really need me... She really needs me...
