------------------

The strange looking thing lunged towards me but Parker used his force and pushed it fifty feet back. "That's the thing that attacked me with Ace!" It was slowly getting back up at this point.

"What the hell!? What is it?" Parker said as he shot at the fanged slimy monster to slow it down.

"I don't know? Wait! I have an idea but you need to act fast. I'm gonna use my telepathy to levitate this...thing into the air. Ill put it into some sort of bubble. You go get help. And when I say go I mean run. This'll take a lot of power and i don't know if I'm gonna die out."

"Are you sure? This thing looks pretty viscou-"

"Go!" He shot at it and then ran. I put it in a bubble and then used my telepathy to hold it up in the air. At first it was weightless. Lifting it took no struggle. But then it got up. It finally recovered from Parker's hit and started to fight back. It charged towards me and even though the bubble kept it back and at a distance, I was being pushed back. If my grip loosened there was a big chance that the monster would be released and I'd be a goner.

Each time it would charge towards the bubble shield I'd be pushed back a little. My feet were slipping and pushing the dirt behind me. My whole body was shaking and I was getting weaker every second. "Argh! Help! Anyone!" Tons of kids walked by and ran to get help but there was no hope. Everyone around me was either running for help or running for cover. The creature took one last push towards the shield and I couldn't hold it anymore. I went flying about ten feet and then hit the ground. Things were blurry but I could tell that tons of other students were shooting at the creature. I saw it being propelled by wind, burned my fire, hit by force, but nothing killed it off. Every time it would shoot right back up and get even closer to me.

My whole body hurt so much but I had to get up and keep this thing back. Every time I even slightly moved it felt like a thousand pins were stabbing me. It took all the strength I had left in me but I finally got up. It only lasted a minute though. I was about to collapse back on the floor when I felt someone catch me. It was Matt. Then I noticed that my whole squad finally arrived too. It hurt to speak too but I managed to say, "I-I have an idea...I can do a spell."

"You're crazy. You can barely talk." I think that was Henderson's voice.

"Just prop me up okay? Worst comes to worst and the thing is still here and we're all doomed so let me just try something." They did as I said and held me up so that I was standing. Explode, be gone. "...Dissiliunt...Potest...Abiit!" The creature exploded everywhere. It was pretty gross. When it's blood got on me I felt a pulse. It was coming from the jewel I took from my moms room. I always kept it in my pocket and every time I was around a lot of magic it would start to pulse. This time it was a different pulse. It was stronger.

When I woke up I was lying on my bed. I was still hurting but it was better than how I felt before. Scott must've healed me again. I slowly got up and realized my clothes were covered in creature blood. I changed into black leggings, a white t shirt, and a red cardigan. It took me a while because I was in pain but I got it on. I walked out to the living area of my suit and saw that my while squad was waiting there for me along with Matt.

"Are you okay?" Matt came up to me and put his hand on my arm.

"I'm fine." My legs gave out a little but Matt caught me and set me down on the couch. "Don't I have the best luck?" No one laughed. "Oh come on guys, lighten up a bit." I looked around and the only person missing was Ace.

"How can we you're seriously hurt." Henderson said.

"It was a bad idea leaving you there." Parker said.

"I asked you to, remember. Besides I got rid of the thing. For now at least. Where's Ace?"

"We don't know. He never showed up." Bari answered me.

"Somethings wrong here. Something's up." I had a gut feeling.

"What do you mean?" Parker asked me.

"When the thing attacked me in the tunnels I thought it was some sort of sewer monster one of the other squads concocted. But there's no way that thing could've followed me all the way up here. Someone sent it out for me. Someone's making them to attack me. Something's fishy about this and I'm gonna figure out what it is." And what Ace knows about it...
