It Happens

Just Another Ordinary Day Pt.2

Shush! I'm sorry I took so long to update, something unexpected came up! But hey looky here, right below this is my new chapter! Tada!!!!!!

Break time was pretty uneventful. Next up we had parade at least I wouldn't be getting weird looks from any kids, oh how I was wrong. As I walked in the hall quietened and every eye was on me. I blush and drop my head so no one would see me. I go over to my form line teacher and he directs me to where the boy with the sandy blonde hair sat. I close my eyes, was this day going to get worse or better? I trudge over to where the boy called Jeremy sat and flopped down next to him in the empty seat. We sat there in silence as the headmaster Mr. Delmas spoke about the new faculty lounge and stuff like that. The projector was screwing up next to him. Suddenly all the lights flash and a familiar symbol flashed on the screen. Where had I seen this before...? Oh shit that's right. The boy who had struck me with his sword and the strange machine. Jeremy stiffens beside me and I, unable to stifle it, gasp and recoil into my seat, I bring my knees up to my chin. What if the boy was back to finish his job? What about the monster?! I was panicking and I knew it. The boy called Odd looked over to see me staring at the symbol wide eyed and on the verge of a panic attack and Jeremy who sat there looking at me. Up on the stage a strange black haze was forming, and then it took form of the boy who attacked me. "Ohmygod ohmygod." I breathe," he's here to finish me!" by now people were starting to freak out about the sword, others thought it was some sort of FX show but I knew otherwise. The boy scans the crowd and his gaze falls on me. I squeak and almost die from fear there and then. I get up shakily and make for the exit. I see Aelita and Ulrich sharing looks with the others. Suddenly I see a plume of black smoke and the boy was in front of me. By now fear was taking over me and my vision was clouding. No, I couldn't let him kill me while I was unconscious. I breathe in slowly and the fear dissipates leaving an insatiable anger. He had ripped me from my friends and family. I will fight him.

I hear crackling and someone screams. With my peripheral vision I see kids rushing around and electricity shooting all over the place. People were already unconscious, among them Aelita, Leticia, a few of the teachers and Ulrich. Before I could react the sword hits my forearm. I cry out and dodge another blow. I take a step back and run to the front of the hall. I could hear Jordan and Lucas calling for me, "Talia attack him stop defending!" I turn to them for a split second, "like I can attack with no weapon, I'm defending my life here! What do you want me to do? Throw a chair at him?" it was a death match between me and the kid who brought me here. The smoke erupts from the ground, the boy appears. He laughs and splays his palm causing black smoke to shoot at me. I hold my palm out at him and the smoke hits it, reflects and hits him. He was knocked backwards a few feet but seemed unharmed as he went back to sword combat.

Aelita caught Odd's eye as Talia reflected one of Williams attacks. She raises an eyebrow and gives him a look that said 'now do you believe the fact that the girl really is Talia? No one but her can deflect attacks like that!' he raises his eyebrows and nods. Suddenly the electricity rears up behind Aelita. "Look out Aelita!" Odd yells but it was too late. He focuses on getting Talia away from William, "Talia!" he yells waving his hands around.

Again and again he went for me and each time I surprised myself by ducking, dodging, jumping and even flipping. I hear someone call my name and I turn to see Odd waving frantically. But the crowd moved and forced him away from me. A sharp pain brings me to look at the boy and he swung the flat side of the zweihander at me. It hits me and I fall to the ground unconscious.

Aelita was down and so was Ulrich. Jeremy needed to wake Aelita up before Talia was captured. Odd was trying to get her away from William but it was no use, whatever her goal was it was personal.
