Blades And Magic | The Past

Chapter 11

Lastic POV

I looked around as we left the cafeteria, making sure we weren't being followed. We zipped around the corner, if Max, another elite, a teacher or really anyone who would notice us acting suspicious would surely stop us, especially after Neal took me for a little while.

The teachers and elites here have painted him as someone who is disgusting, what they said to make it seem more important without actually telling the truth, is horrible, I know that Neal would never sell me, and Max knows it too.

I held Rachel's hand, "Let's go!" I said all giddy-like. We giggled as we ran down the path, people stopped and looked at us, but continued to walk. Nobody seems to care, they looked at me then saw Rachel. "We need to be quite!" Rachel said as we giggled. We made it to the edge of the forest beside our dorm building.

We walked into the forest, well, more like tripped but not important. "Let's just hope Max doesn't find us, he's kinda... scary," Rachel said to me. I shrugged, "Sometimes," I whispered. I spotted something in the distance, my eyes narrowed before I recognized it as Neal, and... Max?

"Hide!" I whisper-shouted, we did as so, hiding behind a tree. "Max is going to notice us, we need to leave, now!" Rachel whispered to me, I nodded in agreement. We began to crawl away, our movements as quick and quite as possible. It wasn't even a few seconds before He saw us, "Hey! Stay there you two!" We stood up, We live with him, he is going to find us one way or another.

He halted in front of us, putting his hands on my shoulders. "Lastic, why are you out here? is it not obvious that when I leave you alone and give you freedom..." there was a long pause before he spoke again," I don't know how else to put this right now, so I will be honest. Lastic, when I say freedom, It's not really freedom unless I clarify that you can leave the school grounds." "But, this is still in the barrier-" I began. "LASTIC!" He hollard, he took one hand off of my shoulder, I stared at the ground. "So I'm a caged animal?" I whispered, he pinched the bridge of his nose, I glanced over to Rachel, who was being closely watched by Neal. She was thanking him for saving her from the bullies.

Max took a deep breath, then let it out. "Lastic... I don't want to keep secrets, but it is for your- GET DOWN!" he suddenly hollard pushing me to the ground while ducking. Neal and Rachel quickly fell to the ground, and then just as fast, they crawled behind a tree trunk. I looked over to what Max had protected me from.

An arrow was stabbed into a tree, That would of hit my arm!  A vile was attached to it, green liquid leaked from the tip, what is that? "It's poision! someone is trying to poision Lastic!" Neal shouted, "Let's go!" Max responded, Someone... I started shaking from fear. Max swiftly pulled me towards him, another arrow zipped by my arm. Neal was smelling the contents of the vile, "Smells like chaminmile! not Daisy's, their not trying to kill her, just parilize her! We need to get out, now!" Max pushed pulled me to him again, the arrow was so close it cut my hair and clipped the bow in my hair.

"So it would seem that it takes you around 25 seconds to move to a new place and load a parilized arrow, huh?" Max announced, I'm shutting down, I Shaked uncontrollably, Still clinging to Max. He slowly drew his sorwd, he swung it forward, slicing an arrow in two like he was cutting jello. He stood up and threw me over his shoulder, "GRAB RACHEL! WE NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE!" Max yelled out to Neal, he did as so and they began to run, another arrow flew at me, it sliced my nose very slightly. I can't move! I can't talk! "MAX! SHE GOT HIT ON THE NOSE!" Neal yelled. My vision blurred over in tears, I'm scared! "Follow me and be quite as a mouse! No one will see us if we sneak in like this," Max whisper shouted. I heard feet colliding with the dry grass.

The world was becoming so scary! I can barely see, I can't move or say anything, and someone is trying to kidinap me? I heard a door open, "I don't have an actual roommate that is another Elite, Rachel, could you make the bed for Lastic? we don't know what else could be In that elixer, She needs rest," Max said to them. I felt a weight being left off of my chest, I'm safe, for now.
