Phoenix High- Slymau

Chapter 39

Aphmau's POV

I pushed my way out of Castor's arms once I realized where we were. It didn't look like it had changed at all in my absence. The same white walls and clear windows. Although I could only see the outside portion so it looked as though the others hadn't completely murdered it.

I did say looked, right? Once I had made my way inside I could see that many of the walls were covered in some kind of reddish-brown and black substance, in some places, however, it was a bright red. It looked as though most of, if not all of it, had hardened before I had walked in. The scent of it was hurting my head and I wanted to vomit but I walked closer to it to inspect it, curious of what it could be before-

"Jess!" I quickly stood up and turned on my heel to face the group of misfits that were currently barreling toward me. At the front of the group was a half-human, half-cyborg male. Right on his heels was a flying blue and red suit-wearing male. With a yellow ball of motion and two green cloaks behind them. This isn't going to end well.

Not two seconds later, I'm on the ground with two bodies on me. I attempt to push them off of me but fail miserably before another weight is added to the pile. I went limp, giving up on removing them. These three are going to be the death of me already.

"Looks nice. Except I want an explanation." With that, the bodies stand up around me and allow me to see the green men, Steven and Jose. Change Katz, Alex and Kala being the death of me, it's going to be the green duo.

K² moves over to a wall, grumbling the whole time. Alex, however, refuses to leave my side. When Steven and Jose take a step closer to me, he lets out a very inhuman growl at them before pushing me behind him. Steven walks up to Alex and attempts to grab his arm and move him but just gets thrown into a wall. Jose inches his way towards me and after Alex gives him a once over, steps to the side to let him reach me. Jose's face immediately lits up as he nearly leaps at me before he is snagged out of the air by Steven who had gotten up at some point and looked disappointedly at Jose. Katz looked as though he wanted to walk over and join Alex in his apparent goal of protecting me but Kala kept pulling him back to their segment of the wall.

Alex spares me a worried glance before looking back at Jose and Steven. Steven seemed to be controlling Jose in a someway. Jose kept looking at me as if he wanted to come over but was being held back. As soon as Alex caught on to what Jose was doing, he spoke up.

"Steven, you do know you're outnumbered, right? Stop it with these games because I'm tired of it. We don't even have the time to clean your blood off the walls before you start up again." What? His blood? Why is his blood all over the walls? What's going on? What happened when I left?

"She left us, Alex! Just poof! Gone! No note, no explanation for her action! She took Castor with her! She left Sly broken! He only barely leaves his room and who knows what he's doing in there because he obviously isn't sleeping!"

"She has to have a reason, Steven! And a good one! You know as well as I do that she has never done anything with a just reason!" Although Alex was defending me, their childish yelling was hurting my head. It was too loud, and the scent from, apparently, Steven's blood was driving me mad.

"Shut up! Both of you! Just, shut up!" Everyone in the room was watching me in shock. K² had pushed themselves up against the wall, for some reason. Steven had been thrown into a wall by something and Jose was slowly working his way back over to me while Alex...

I couldn't see Alex. Suddenly my mind caught up with me. Where did he go? What happened? Why's everyone looking at me like that? I spin around, frantically looking for Alex.

Kala walks over to me, before tilting my head to look at the ceiling where a terrified Alex had plastered himself. He looked like he was trying to catch his breath and had a wide-eyed expression on his face. After he appeared to catch his breath he slowly lowered himself to the ground, all be it a few yards away from me. When I turned back to Kala, she had made her way back over to Katz. I looked around, confused, at everyone in front of me. They all seemed almost, scared of me.

"What's going on!?" I turn to the staircase to see Sly, Castor, and Pbat working their way up to them, Leo and Flippy in hand. Sly quickly hands Pbat, Flippy before taking account of everyone in the room, his eyes landing on me. He, no doubt, noticed that everyone else was looking at me as well and made his way over to me.

He looked me in the eye before he asked me, "What happened, Jess?" I shook my head. I couldn't give him an answer. I didn't even know what was going on.

He looked at everyone else before questioning Alex, "What happened, Alex?"

"Jess, she, I, what was the question again?" Sly looked back to me, confused. Alex didn't normally act like this. Whatever happened, whatever I did, because it had to have been me, wasn't normal and wasn't good.
