Unconditional

Rescue

Katherine's p.o.v
Its been a month since we have got any information about Harry or Isabelle. So I was pretty over it. Atleast Liam helped me to do so. He shifted my focus onto him. To find out his big secret. By now he knew that I was upto something. I wanted to know what he has been hiding.
Zara and I had now become pretty close. We shared everything. We could read each other with just facial expressions and we both knew we were in a never ending friendship. Justin was close too. He knew most of the stuff too. But not more than Zara and I. He was a big part of this group. Yes, me, Zara and Justin were practically a group.
We were walking for our chemistry class together.
" Did you complete the portions spell homework Mr. Potter gave us?" , Zara questioned Justin.
And for the record, our chemistry teacher's name is Mr. Potter, so we create jokes around his name by taking reference from the famous Harry Potter.
" Sure I have Zar. I am way too smart than you think I am. Ain't I kat?" Justin said.
" we will see that. " Zara said and took a seat.
The class started and we all began to concentrate on this difficult subject.
Just then Zara spoke up,
" Mr. Potter. I need to use the loo. Its kind of an emergency. "
Mr. Potter knew Zara's drill of coming back an hour later. He did not care now and sent her anyway. Yes the professor here just encouraged a bunk, but his exception was only for Zara because she knew how to get on his nerve since she found out about him and a professor named Judith's relationship. Yes she knew everything about this school also. She was the gossip queen of our school.
An hour passed by and I was waiting for Zara to return. Suddenly we felt our tables shaking. I looked up to see the fans swinging. I could feel it myself.
EARTHQUAKE
Every one panicked and started rushing out. Justin held my hand and started pulling me towards the door.
" Everyone calm down. Do not push." Mr. Potter tried controlling the class. But it was evident that he panicked too.
Everyone was out in the field now. I could see the some of the walls of our classroom broken. It was a tremendous one.
I looked around for Zara then. Where is she? Oh god, she has not returned from the loo yet. I need to find her. I was the only one who knew where she was during this break. In the corridor near the garbage mountain.
So I ran in. Just then Justin held on my arm and shouted, " What the hell kat! Are you crazy? Where are you going?"
"Zara, she is not here. I need to get to her. "
" I am coming with you then "
" No Justin. Just stay here. You know you have to send help in case i do not return with her after the earthquake passes. And you are the only one who knows where to come. "
He nodded at let me go with hopeful eyes that I will return with Zara.
I ran above all the boulders to enter that corridor a km away from this hall. As I reached the corridor, I saw Zara passed out on the floor and thanked god she was not hurt. I hurriedly ran towards her, only to trip on a boulder just fallen and another one hit my leg.
It was a heavy one, and I could not move. It was hurting and I could not even reach Zara. I couldnt move even after applying all my strength.
" Zara wake up. Zara you need to get up and get to safety before anything hits you too." I shouted. I had to move to her. So i started wriggling as a result of which, I could see my leg bleeding out now.
I reached her and slapped her hard. She did move a bit. But it was not enough for her to get up.
I was about to give up until I saw him approaching us. Liam was here.
" Liam over here. Please take Zara to safety now. Please I beg of you. She has passed out. " I shouted with happiness.
" How many times do you need rescuing, little princess?" Liam said as he approached me. When did he rescue before this? Was he talking about the bus stand confrontation? No thats not it. Why can't I remember because bad memories are hard to forget.
" when exactly did you help me out before this?" I asked.
He came nearer and nearer and I saw a blank expression on his face. One when he is guilty or hiding something. I know that much about him now. But at the same time, I felt like he was craving something. He grew paler and paler by the second. I think the blood had some kind of effect on him. A bad one. I could not help but ask,
" Are you alright Liam?"
" you are hurt bad. Here let me take a look." He ignored my question and stated.
He lifted the heavy rock with ease as if it was a piece of paper. Wow, the strength he had, not of a normal human for sure. I shouted with pain as he lifted the rock, and I could not move my leg for sure after that. It was hurting like hell.
He was about to lift me up but i refused, " Zara first please. Take her before she gets hurt."
He turned his gaze towards my eyes as if he had seen some alien. That was a cold stare. And suddenly he started staring at the blood. That started flowing afresh due too the lifting of rock. He again had a pale look and he took a gulp. So the blood really makes hm sick, so I decided to shout, " Liam please take Zara. Justin will come with help . Go. "
He looked at me again suddenly. I think he forgot who I was because he gave me a confused expression and was not concentrating on what I was saying. Just then I saw Justin approaching with two professors and before I knew it, Liam was out with Zara from the back door. That fast and a heavy rock lifter. Impossible.
" Kat. That looks miserable. Shit, I am so stupid. i am sorry. I should have come earlier." Justin said.
" you would be more stupid if you did not shut up and let me bleed to death."
He looked at the wounded leg, stared at it for ten seconds like he was sick of it and then lifted me up and took me to the emergency ward of building. I could see most of the facilities were destroyed but the nurse had enough to give me stitches on the leg. I shouted with pain and took Justin's hand immediately to ease out.
His hand froze for a second, I could feel he felt awkward so I started retreating my hand. As soon as I pulled out of his grip he held my hand even tighter like he would stop blood flow through my hand but it did comfort me.
