Hidden

Chapter 14

Emma stood up and wiped her bleeding hands on her shirt, leaving fresh red marks on her crisp white uniform.

"Emma!" Jasmine yelled, engulfing her in a giant hug. Peter and David just stared at her with wide-eyes, not believing her bloodied state.

Peter took Emma's hands that were dripping with blood and started to draw something on her face.

"What in the dragons name are you doing?" Emma laughed a bit. Peter simply shushed her and Jasmine faked a disrespected look.

"Did you just shush her?" Jasmine asked with disbelief. Peter ignored all his friends protests, finishing what he was drawing and brushing Emma's hair behind her ears, stepping back to let the others look at his art. The other two looked at Emma, laughing at what he drew. The brunette smiled, asking her friends what Peter had drawn that was so funny.

"He drew-"

"A dick!" Jasmine interrupted David, both were laughing uncontrollably as they stared at Emma's forehead, Peter was smiling proudly as he crossed his arms, puffing out his chest in pride.

Emma smiled with her friends but something was nagging in the back of her mind, telling her something was still amiss. Suddenly it clicked.

"Headmaster!" Emma turned and screamed, only to be greeted with his pail form shakily waving his hand, still sitting in his own pool of blood.

"H..ey." He said weakly, munching on some candy that he pulled out of nowhere. Emma ran up to him, jumping over the many pipes and debris that had flown onto the roof from the commotion. and put her hands on his shoulder in a comforting manner, ready to carry the man to the medics of needed. Headmaster pushed her hands aside and shook his head, cringing at the pain.

"No Emma, I'm...not going to make it." He said, saddness formed in his Eyes as he stared at the four friends.

"Oh no," Jasmine wispered. Peter grabed her hand in comfort as David simply stared along with Emma, a blanket of saddness covering all of them. 

"No, we gotta save him! There must be something we can do!" Emma started to scream, panicking and searching for a non-existent solution.

"Emma, there's nothing we can do." Jasmine tried to explain, but Emma refused, there has to be a way. She was breathing heavily as her eyes searched for possible healing items, and she let out a short scream when the headmaster coughed out some blood.

"Jasmine, Peter, isint there something you can do?" Emma despratly asked. Jasmine shook her head and Peter looked away, eyes crestfallen. Emma stumbled over some rocks searching hastily 

"David?" Emma croaked, David looked at her pleading eyes and then back at headmaster. He let out a large and exasperated sigh as he pushed Emma to the side, whispering in Peter's ear. The red head clasped Emma's arm gently, but holding her so she didn't make a move closer.

"What are you doing?" Emma asked.

"Putting him out of his misery." David said blankly. Emma's eyes widened as Jasmine and Peter held her back from attacking him.

She continued to thrash about, flailing her arms and trying to get out of there strong grip. She continued to do this with no avail until she saw what David was doing. David has his hands pressed on Headmasters chest and a green and white glowing aura started to surround the two.

The light green magic started to wrap around headmasters wounds, healing them up like millions of little strings peicing themselves back together again, slowly closing the wound.

Some of the blood began to seep back into the healing wound, but that was not what was most fascinating. David's blue hair moving in the breeze as he moved his hands to just hover over Headmasters body.

David's eyes were glowing blue, a teil and white magic shimmering off of his eyes. His eyes closed as he concentrated on healing headmaster.

"When...?" Peter asked breathless, Jasmines eyes were wide as she took in the sight while Emma's attention was directed elsewhere.

The pink dragon was twitching and letting out small growls, almost like when a dog is dreaming, but black tears were pouring out of it's eyes, and a dark aura was surrounding Cynder.

"Cynder!" A loud cry came out of Ashley's mouth as she burst out of the fire escape door. A few others came out with her but stopped when they noticed all the rubble scattered along the ground. That didn't stop Ashley though, she ran right across, slipping and falling A few times.

She embraced her dragon and the dark aura dissapated, leaving only the dark tears on her face. Ashley wiped away the dark tears off of Cynder's face as she cried a few tears herself.

"I'm so sorry Cynder, you don't deserve this." Ashley said between sobs. Emma looked away from the scene, having your dragon hurt pains the're rider too, and only when the dragon becomes better does the rider return to a positive state.

David was almost to fnished, but the headmaster was still at risk from so much blood loss, making his skin Look like a ghosts.

"David, your not just a water user are you?" Emma asked, making him flinch.

"No." Was all he said before his hands dropped and he fell to the floor, eyes half closed from exhaustion. Peter picked him up, holding him like a child while Jasmine and Emma began to lift the headmaster and slowly walk him to the stairs. A few students watching grabbed a student with green eyes and pushed him up.

The student walked up to them and made the two girls put him down. The student then grabbed a seed from a pouch tied to his belt and Emma watched as he made it into a bed like structure.

"Use this, it's like a stretcher, or at least I tried to make one." The student smiled and backed away. Emma and Jasmine put the headmaster on the stretcher and continued to carry him to the infirmary.

"I wonder where all the teachers are." Jasmine asked. As if on cue, Mr.Draco ran up the stairs and stopped when he saw the state the headmaster was in.

"He looks like shit," Mr.Draco said with a little laugh, he took Jasmines spot on the stretcher and they continued to run down flights of stairs.

Headmaster let out a little groan of pain as he jumped around in the stretcher made of vines and cat tail fluff.

"You shouldn't of left you guard down, I've never seen you get hurt like this in all the years I've known ya."

"Ya...ya" Was all headmaster said. They finally reached the infirmary and a board of doctors began to stick IVs in his wrist and took his blood pressure. A heart monitor was soon attached and a doctor ushered the three out of the room before they could see anything else.

"Best of luck to you." Draco wispered, Emma looked at him and she noticed that his eyes held a little fear and....saddness? Draco turned and started to walk out of the infirmary, Emma closely following behind.

"Emma, there is something going on, and it's more then just out of control dragons." Draco said, scratching his scruffy beard.
