Superhero

Chapter 2- Sound the Gong

I closed my eyes. Is this what being electrocuted feels like, I wondered. At first I felt prickles on my skin where he touched me. Then there was a strange sensation running through my body and the world was buzzing. My ears popped then all the oxygen felt like it was being sucked out of my lungs. As if from somewhere far away I heard voices. They all sounded distorted. Suddenly there was a stinging feeling on my arms and I realised that someone had grabbed me. I started feeling hollow like someone was draining me, it made me notice I was screaming my head off. I could hear what Blaze was saying.

"I'm trying, I'm trying!" Blaze said feverishly, "I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!"

My eyes flew open and there was a collective gasp. If only my knees did not buckle after a few seconds. Hands were all around me, shaking me and making my skin crawl. My eyes closed and there was blackness.

When I opened my eyes again I fully expected to be in Blaze's arms on the grass of my front lawn but I was in small room with a low roof. I was so shocked I started screaming. Of course the noise I was making caused the door to fly open. I was so scared that I ran to the window to see if I could escape by jumping out. I think my brain must have still been fuzzy because that was one of the most stupid things I've ever done. I didn't even to check to see that I wasn't on the fourth floor.

"Oh my God!" Blaze shouted. "Who left that window open!"

'Wow,' I thought, my mind a picture of pure terror, 'I really am an idiot.'

There is absolutely nothing like the feeling of knowing that you could fall to your death in second and crack your head open. I can't even describe it. It's as I said before. Pure terror. What's even worse is stopping mere inches above ground, suspended in air, and having your heart feel like its being dislodged from your chest and your body shaking uncontrollaby. Then dropping. Just kidding, I fell and even though I didn't get hurt I was still shaking.

"Is she dead?" Blaze asked worriedly.

"No." a voice said. "But she sure is stupid."

I lifted up my head when I heard that but before I could get up someone scooped me into their arms. I looked up and I was staring into electrically charged eyes. Creepy.

"Let go of me," I said through my teeth but he held on firmly.

"You're trembling," he said peering at me closely and cocking his head to the side.

"Thats what happens when you fall from a four story building," the voice said again. "Let her go idiot!"

He put me down but glared at the person who said that. When I examined my surroundings it occured to me that I had no idea where I was. There was a grove of trees to my right, to my left was the dreaded four story building and in front of was Blaze, with his lightning hair, an asian girl with dark hair that was done in a thick plait that ended at her waist.

"Im missing my stories," she said, looking at me disdainfully. She rolled her eyes and looked away from us and I could just tell she was the type of person who looked down on others. She stood up perfectly straight and had her nose up in the air, ignoring us both as if we were just some annoying mosquitos.

"You have to come with us," Blaze pleaded and he reached for me. His lower lip trembled and he gave me a heartbraking expression but I had already hardened my heart against him. I shoved him off.

"No! Stay away!" I shouted after I shoved him and sparks flew from my fingertips. Of course, like any sane person I screamed my head off. Maybe if they did not hold me down I would have popped a nerve or something. I was really freaking out.

"Lets go inside," Blaze said, "and I promise I'll explain everything."

I lifted up my head to look at him but before I cpuld say anything a gong sounded. Seriously, a gong. Immediately  the girl ran offf and wen into the building.
