Roommates

A.N. Short chapter, but as with Never Returned, I didn't get much time to type. And it's been so long! So I hope you like it anyways, don't forget the whole vote and feedback thing, it is appreciated. But, without further ado....

I paused outside the door to my room and cursed under my breath. I listened to the sound of movement behind the door, I had temporally forgotten about my roommate. I tightened the towel around me and opened the door. Sitting on a bed, I saw a girl. Brown, red and gold woven together formed her hair. She turned around, revealing ringed eyes and a pink bandit's mask... "Ivy! I was wondering why the other closet was full, I thought it was just a transfer."

"Nope, I'm here for now." For now meaning until tomorrow morning when I would be gone.

 Rae grinned. "Great! I was afraid it would be someone like Gwen or her possy." She shuddered, and I had to grin.

"If you want I could act like them."

"No!" She yelled with a giggle.

Left, left, right. I passed the corridors once again and slipped out of the cafeteria window. I had thought ahead and left it open. I morphed into the shadows when I saw two girls sneaking away. With a start I realized I saw one of them with Gwen earlier. Grace, the girl with precognition. For a second, I wondered what it would be like to see the future. It would certainly be useful when fighting... The other girl, the one with chocolate brown hair, grey blue eyes and an awesome hourglass shape, seemed normal. Until I noticed the scar-like marking that snaked around her forearm. I wondered if she was another bitch or just someone headed to the party or wherever they were going.

"Hurry up Tay!" They soon disappeared through a door that had loud music coming from it. But, strangely, it was silent when the door closed. Smart kid, getting a soundproof room. I wondered how much it cost him or her before continuing on my way. I climbed out the window and pulled on my mask. Well, it wasn't a mask, but a black tuque I 'borrowed' from Rae. I felt bad and left ten dollars in it's place. Stupid guilt, ten dollars could be useful.

Only been a few days and your already getting soft Ivy, I thought to myself. But the 'mask' fit over my whole head, and I had chopped holes in it earlier so I can see. I quickly went into the woods, and when at the perimeter of guards, I nearly jumped in surprise when the second guard who came around was Banana-Head, Mr Sondare. And surprised, but not as much, when Mrs Krins was fourth. The first and third man, along with Mr Banana-Head were too big for my plan, and Krins was too good of a fighter. The fifth person was roughly my height, a woman. I pulled out a rock that I had chosen earlier and a knife. Where does someone get a knife in this school? Easy. It was the knife used to cut food in the cafeteria, although it wasn't very sharp. When the woman passed, I quickly slid behind her and pressed the knife to her throat. The guards here aren't very good. Then again, they were constantly watching the outside, expecting Daemn to break in, not Hemis to get out.

"Yell and I'll cut your throat." I said, changing my voice for extra security.

A yell pierced the air. "Guards!"

I might have underestimated the guard, she was valiant. Risking her life for others. I knocked her out with the rock and dragged her into the bushes, quickly putting her outfit on top of mine, removing the mask. And I removed the battery from the walkie talkie. All in under a minute.

"Claire?" Asked an approaching guard.

"I think I saw something, I wanted back-up just in case." I whispered, imitating Claire's voice as well as I could. Hard considering she had only said the word 'guards'. But he seemed to believe it.

"Why didn't you use the talkie?"

"Out of battery." I said, showing him the dead walkie talkie. He didn't seem to notice I wasn't Claire. It was the reason I chose her, she had brown hair roughly the same length as mine. But her eyes were green-blue, which is why I kept my face averted. Hopefully he couldn't see the difference in the dark.
