The New Legend

Chapter sixteen

Louisa's POV
"As you can see on the screen, Africa has-" Our history teacher was explaining things I already knew. I knew because Nate explained everything they changed. I'm glad to be back here, but I do miss everyone. I look at my pencil and book and notice a hand from my right putting a tiny piece of paper on my book. I look to my right and see Meghan smiling. I open the piece of paper and it says: 'you seem pretty bored, same tho.' I look back at her and try not to laugh.

I look around me and notice that Harry isn't at school today, Vivian isn't either. 'Why are Viv and H not at school?' I write on the backside of the paper. I fold it and give it back to Meghan. She opens it and starts reading. After two seconds she responds by shrugging and looking around the classroom. I look at the clock, it's still 20 minutes until the next period.

Suddenly, the door slams open. Police walk in, armed. They walk towards my table at a high speed. "Louisa Stan, you are under  arrest for the murder of Vivian Mary Longheart and Meredith Stan." One of the policemen says in a loud tone. Wait, mom? Viv? Are they dead? I didn't kill them! My eyes start tearing as I think about them. I shouldn't have come back. Now they're dead because of me! Who killed them? And why do they suspect me?

"Turn around, hands on your head, on your knees!" The police and shouts. I notice everyone looking at me, shocked. "I didn't do anything!!!" I cry out. I didn't do anything... "You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you." The policeman says as he cuffs my hands that are behind my back. "I swear, I didn't kill them! I loved my mom and my friend!" I say softly while crying. Meghan looks at me with tears as the policemen pull me out of the classroom.

After almost dragging me through the school, the policemen walk towards a police car. "What happened to them? I demand to know how they died and where they are!" I shout angrily while tears run down my cheeks. Not responding, the policemen push me into the police car. I don't think that they're driving to the police station. I don't even get a trial? I'm going straight to jail? No, I'm too young for that, I can't survive there! I'm just a girl! I want to go back, back to the ship, back to my dad...

I need to send a message to waverider. Wait, no. If I use my powers, Astra will know where I am. I'm stuck. I can't do anything. I watch the outside world as it whooshes past me. This could be the last time I see a tree. No, don't be dramatic. I will be proven innocent. How do they even know that I committed a murder? I don't even own a gun or knife. They're not answering my questions, so I can't ask them. Maybe dad will notice. I hope he does.

Sara's POV

I take a small sip of my beer and look around. I'm alone in the captain's parlour. Finally, I can rest a little after everything that has happened. I can't imagine what John is going through. Zari walks in with a drink. She always has her weird futuristic drink combinations that always taste bad. "Hey, you okay?" She asks me. "I'm fine, it's just that with John and Zed here, I can't stop thinking about Louisa," I tell Zari. That had to be said at some point. Zari sits down on a chair in front of me. "I get it. I don't even know much about magic." She says with a slight grin on her face.

Zed's POV
I look around in a panic, where am I? I was talking to John and now I'm somewhere else. Is this one of those visions again? I lately get them while trying to practice with my powers. I only see darkness. In that darkness, I notice a locker. I open the locker and see a knife with blood. I quickly jump back and slam the locker closed. I can hear faint voices, they come closer by the second. "I didn't do anything!" I hear a voice shouting. "You're under arrest for the murder of Vivian Mary Longheart and Meredith Stan." Another voice shouts. "What happened to them?" I hear the first voice crying out. That's Louisa's voice. She got arrested... But why do I have visions about that? "Say bye-bye to earth." A heavy voice says. I hear a scream.

My eyes fly open and I sit up, heavily breathing. "What in the bloody hell happened?" John asks me. "I don't know, it was some kind of vision," I say with tears in my eyes. "What was it about, love? He asks in panic, seeing my teared up eyes." Louisa." I say softly. John stands up quickly, gets me up quickly and walks through the corridors with me at a fast pace. "No, Louisa is not dying, not today." He says angrily. I know that face and that tone, he's scared. He's never scared.

Sara's POV
EVERYONE ON THIS DAMN SHIP, GET OFF YOUR ARSE AND HELP MY BLOODY DAUGHTER!!" I hear John yell in the corridors. "What in the..." I mumble. Zari and I get up from our chairs and look around. "Gideon," I say. "Yes Captain, I heard him. I will plot a course immediately." Gideon says back. "Thank you," I whisper softly. I can't lose Louisa. John and Zed will be devastated. I feel the ship moving. No one is in their chairs yet. I get it, we're in a hurry. "Everyone hold on!" I yell.

Louisa's POV
It's only been a day, but it felt like an eternity. I'm in prison. I'm in jail. Vivian and my mom are dead. I hate myself. I hate myself for living. I hate myself for existing. I hear banging on the jail doors. It's 8 am, breakfast time. The jail doors open and a wave of people walk through the big hall, towards the cafeteria. Almost everyone here is an adult. I slowly walk out of my cell and follow the rest. People are pushing me and everyone here looks angry. My head hurts.

While walking through a smaller corridor, I get pulled away from the rest of the wave of people. It's one of the guards. "Tell Astra I said hi." The guard says while dragging me around the corner. No one is in this corridor. This isn't good. "What?" I stutter. The guard pulls a knife from his jacket. That is not a guard. "Say bye-bye to earth." The guard says. "No," I say back. Thank you, Sara. "What?" The guard asks. "I said no," I say with a small grin on my face.

The guard swings his knife at my leg and I quickly jump to avoid it. The guard growls and shapeshifts into... Harry? What in God's name... "Didn't expect that, did you?" He says. Harry isn't magical. He can't shapeshift. Charlie doesn't want to kill me. "Who are you?!" I ask demanding. He turns into a man. A 40-ish-year-old man with hair only on the side of his head and glasses on. "I'm Nicholas Todd Sutton." He says with an evil smile. "You're the guy that was executed a few days ago," I say.

Nicholas nods, still smiling. He killed his grandmother, a school friend and some other guy at age 18. He died not even a week ago by execution. He's an encore. "Encores don't have powers..." I mumble to myself. "We do now." He says. "How?" I ask him back. He doesn't respond, I expected that. He swings the knife at me again and I step back. The knife slightly sliced my arm. It's bleeding, crap. I kick him in his stomach. I jump, spin and kick him on his head. He slams into a wall and grabs his head.

After a few seconds, he doesn't seem to have any pain left. He grins and walks towards me. I forgot they couldn't die. The only thing I can do is run. I can't fight him. I can't use my magic. I have to run, but I don't know where to. The corridor ends behind me. I run to the end of the corridor and try to come up with a plan. I could jump over his head, but a real guard will get me. God, I hate prison.

Ray's POV

We don't have any time to think, we need to help her, now. "Ray, Zari, you're in QB," Sara says as the rest leaves the ship. "Didn't John say that sending the encores to hell would be useless?" I ask Zari. She nods and flips a page of the book she's reading. "What do we do with the encores then?" I ask her as I pace around the library. "We could keep them on the ship until we find a solution?" She answers. That's a perfect idea. "But how do we get them on the ship?" I ask Zari back. "Ever heard of sedatives?" She says. "Brilliant! I'll go to work on one." I say and walk swiftly to my lab.

Zari's POV
"Guys, Ray and I found a solution to the encores," I say through the comms. "We keep them on the ship until we find a way to banish them," I add. I'm hungry. I'll grab a waffle and check on Ray. On my way to the kitchen, I notice that my totem is missing. I must have left it in the library. I walk back but I can't find it. The last time I was aware of it being on my wrist was while fighting Belial. He took it. He freakin took it!

Note:

I hate quarantine. I hate it. Stay safe y'all
