Chapter 5~ Frozen Yogurt?

We made it to the frozen yogurt shop after about 15 minutes of walking. It was friggin exhausting!

  Anyway , we got inside and the place was really nice. It had these light purple walls with baby blue tables and chairs. It had pictures drawn by children taped and scattered across the walls.

  We got in line for the cups as I looked at the flavours. They had some really good ones though.

  GASP. Root beer. My favorite! When I got to the dispenser I immediately got that one and filled the rest of the cup with toppings like gummy bears and m&ms.

  We all sat down when I saw what everyone else got. I was going to have to come here a lot, because the different combinations looked absolutely fantastic.

  "Hey Marki, you wanna eat?" Amia asked.

  "Yeah, sorry. Just my first time at an English frozen yogurt shop."

  "Hmm well then, we are going to have to treat you." Cynthia said.

  "Treat me how?" I asked.

  "What other classes do you have today?" Brianna asked.

  "Umm I think just Japanese and Arithmetic."

  "Wow big words. Anyway doesn't sound like you'll miss anything, so why don't we show you around." Amia said. I again thought about it. Friends or school? I decided on friends.

  "Well we are already out, so why not make the most of it? Sure." I replied.

  "Yayy! Oh my god we are going to spoil you!" Amia squealed.

  "Only if you want to." I said.

  "Of course, you need the best experience of London." Brianna added.

  "Yeah, by the way, we should hurry up. We can't stay in one place for too long." Cynthia reminded us. I have them a look of confusion.

  "They have uni patrols that wonder around the city during the day to make sure all magical beings are in class." Amia explained.

  "Oh yeah then. Don't want to get caught, do we?" I smiled.

  "Thats the spirit! Now hurry, but make sure you enjoy it." Cynthia said.

  I ate my frozen yogurt and it was one of the best things I had ever tasted.

  "Oh my god, this is heaven in a cup!" I expressed.

  "You like that? Just wait until we take you to this restaurant called "A Little of What You Fancy" Its really good." Brianna said.

  "Sounds like fun." I said as I continued to eat the treat. I didn't get a really big cup, so it wasn't long before I was finished.

  "Okay ladies I think we should get moving." Amia said, looking over to a woman in a black suit by the door.

  "Oh crap yeah. We need to get out of here." Cynthia panicked. Amia gave her a look of really?

  "Don't worry guys, this is why I know people." Amia stated as she got up and headed towards the cashier. We all sat and listened.

  "Hey Gil, remember that favor you owe me? I need you to help me and my friends out." (She's not a succubus for nothing) Did she just recongnize me as one of her friends? Yes! Progress.

  "Uh yeah sure. What d'ya need?" The cashier with white hair said.

  "We need to go out the back door quick."

  "Aww your just going to make a clean getaway? That's not really interesting."

  "Too bad. I don't feel like getting my friends into trouble."

  "Fine. Go back there." He pointed to a door by the dispensers.

  Amia waved her hand for us to follow. Making sure the lady wasn't looking, we followed her out the door and shut it behind us.

  "That was a close one." I laughed.

  "Yeah, we should probably be more careful." Brianna said.

  "God you guys, we took a risk today. Doesn't it feel good. Doesn't the adrenalin make you feel alive." Amia overexagerated.

  "I don't know. I'll tell you when we turn the corner and are out of sight from the store." I replied. We all laughed a little.

  We made it down the ally and were about to turn the corner when we heard someone yell behind us.

  "GET THEM!" It was the lady from earlier. She was yelling at . . . hellhounds? They came charging at us full speed.

  When we all noticed what was going on, we ran at our own full speeds. Of course like I mentioned earlier, I wasn't very fast, so I was at the back of the group of running girls.

  I kept running until I was out of breath and then ran faster. That was until I felt something grab my ankle. It hurt like hell. Little daggers into my calf. I looked down to see a hellhound with it's teeth grasped onto my calf.

  I tried to shake it off, but then another hellhound sunk it's teeth into my other calf. Before I knew, I was tripping and landing face first onto the pavement.

  Everything went blurry and I couldn't see my friends anymore. They must have got away.

  A throbbing pain took over my thoughts and demanded my immediate attention. I raised my hand to my head and winced at the pain.

  "Good boys." I just could make out the woman saying. She patted each of them on the head. "Now go get the others!"

  The hellhounds took off behind me and i didn't want to turn around to see where they went.

  I looked back at the woman, glaring daggers. Even if we broke the rules, this is no way to treat students.

  "Skipping class will not be tolerated." She scolded me before she put a damp cloth to my face that smelled funny.

  I felt lightheaded as my senses went blank. My brain couldn't register anything going on around me.

  Then everything went black as I unwillingly gave into the dark that overtook my vision.
