You light me up

Sirens (Pt.3)

(That disclaimer I've been telling you about, It applies here too)

SANDRA'S POV*****

"I want to call her, I have to make sure she's ok. Mae I can't go on with this suspense not knowing if shes alive or not."

"SANDRA, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO CALL LAUREN!" My siri acted up.

"Calling, Lauren" I looked at Mae.

"NOOO, CANCEL IT!" Mae began panicking.

"I can't find your phone." I brought my hands to my face crying.

LAUREN'S POV*****

BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ. I felt my phone vibrating in my jacket pocket. Noo noo noo, not now.

"Hey do you hear that?" the guy said. I froze.

"Hear what?"

"It's coming from in here, SHHH" He pressed his ear to the door and I knew that one way or another, they were getting into this closet. I could see them both through the slits on the door. My phone finally stopped buzzing. Thank god.

"What's your name?" I asked the girl in a hushed tone.

"Gia," she breathed shakily.

"Listen to me Gia, we have to run. I'm going to open the door with force and hopefully drop this guy," She cut me off.

"No please, we'll die."

"We are going to die if we stay here ok, we have to get back to class. By now the police should be on their way. It's gonna be ok." She nodded. The man still had his ear pressed up against the door. Slowly I removed the board. "Ready, One, Two,Three." I jammed my shoulder into the door busting it open and taking the man by surprise. He scrambled to get back up.

"You stupid bitch, I'm gonna kill you."

"RUN GIA!!" She ran and I quickly grabbed the guys gun. With all my force I stuck him in the face with the back of the gun and ran after Gia. I caught up with her and directed her to my class. The mans laughter was getting louder as he knocked on lockers,showing us he was on his way. In a rush I unlocked my classroom door. Everyone shot up, before we knew it there was a banging on the door.

"HAHA I know you're in there blondie." Girls began to cry and Daven went straight for his sister who was now sobbing loudly. "Shoot the lock Mike." Wait, did he say Mike? A shot was fired and the door swung open. All my students rushed to hide and those who couldn't braced themselves. Kalie was in the corner hugging a student. I made eye contact with her then turned to face the men in front of me. I put my hands out as if to protect my entire class. It was Mike who faced me. Mike the kid who sat in the front of my class, who never gave me any problems, who always did his work.

"Mike you don't have to do this. You know these people, you grew up with these people, you hung out with these people, friends with these people." His gun was in my face still I reached my hand slowly to grab it but he stepped back.

"These people don't know me, you're new, you don't know me. You can't stop me" He began raising his gun higher and I charged at him grabbing the gun. Shots went off onto the ceiling dropping pieces of white dust, kids screamed and panicked. I managed to get him out the door but with the lock busted I knew it wouldn't hold. I held the door with all my force and I could see that outside the window were cops. They were arresting the third man. Mike and his pal were both trying to get me to break my hold on the door.

"Fuck this just shoot the door, Mike." The alarms were getting louder, the commotion was growing and then the first shot. It went by me by an inch. Then another, this one went into my left shoulder.

"AAAH!!," I screamed as pain was running through me but I kept my hold.

"MS.JAMES!!" I heard a student yell.

"I'M OK JUST GET OUT OF HERE, ALL OF YOU OUT THE WINDOW NOW!!!" A few of the stronger guys broke the windows, they helped their peers get out safely. Another shot, it felt like everything was in slow motion, this one missed me as well. Another shot, into my right leg. This broke my hold, there was only one student left. Her name was Lina. I limped to her as quick as possible and put my whole body in front of her. She was crying, the men were approaching.

"It's about time blondie," he aimed his gun at Lina. I tackled him from where I was. He dropped his bigger gun and swung at me, I could taste the blood in my mouth. I felt arms wrap around me. Mike. The man took a few steps towards Lina.

"Don't touch her." He turned back to me. Smiling he started walking towards me now. He pulled a knife from his belt and ran it alongside my jaw, down to the middle of my throat.

"And are you gonna stop me, huh blondie?" He was standing close enough to me that I could feel his breath on my face. With all my might I brought my head forwards and knocked him. He groaned, then laughed. "You know, there are consequences for doing things like that. I'd hate to see something ruing such a pretty face." I pulled my face back from his knife. Behind him I could see Lina. I made a head motion for her to sneak out but he caught me and turned around. "Where are you going kid?"

"Leave her alone," He walked up to her and grabbed the back of her head. Running his knife along her face like he did me.

"I'm gonna cut you, you'll never forget this moment," pushing further down on the knife I could see a bit of blood rise. A tear rolled down Linas cheek.

"No,no don't cut her. Cut me not her please not her." He turned.

"I could make that trade," without further thought he was in front of me. Mike left to hold Lina and the man came from behind to give me little movement. The blade ran down my cheek.

"AAAH!!," the pain was unbearable. I tried reaching back to hurt him somehow but couldn't. Instead I kicked him and he dropped me. Mike let Lina go and tried to rush me but I dodged him. I struggling to stay on my feet I managed and put myself in front of Lina. Mike pulled his gun on us. I closed my eyes. Two shots were heard. I opened my eyes to see the man motionless on the floor, Mike holding his chest. Police men were making their way into the class from the window.

"Thank god," I said as I let my body fall as it wanted. Lina was there, looking down at me. She sat besides me and put my head on her lap.

"Thank you, Ms.James, Thank you." I let myself dose off slowly, before I knew it my vision was consumed in darkness.
