I don't remember falling asleep but as soon as I wake up I feel my crossbow is gone and I start searching frantically for it, even falling off the bed and crawling underneathe, I sigh in relief when I realize its just tangled in the blankets. I untangle it and hold it, cradling it like its a baby until Mr.Barren walks in and I quickly hide it under the bed.
"Hello Crossfire" Mr.Barren says "very good to see that you survived, I knew I picked a good one" he says.
"T-thank you?" I says.
"And second command" Mr.Barren points at my arm that had three stripes now. I stare at it confused. "I couldn't imagine why Shockfire picked you but I suppose it was a good choice" he says.
"Im second in command?" I asks "but I thought Terror was" I tell him.
"Terror lost that right when he left Grenade to battle off five super powered creatures" Mr.Barren growls. "Though i cant say your much better, you disappeared in the middle of the battle."
"Mr.Barren, sir, I was attacked and knocked out" I tell him.
"Well you better get to your new room, lucky you, the second command gets his own room" Mr.Barren says.
I nod and get up, holding my crossbow and head out down the hall trying to remember where the second command room was.
"Good to see you up" Shockfire says behind me, making me jump slightly. I turn around to look at him.
"Hi Shockfire" I smile slightly.
"You must be looking for your room, come on I'll show you where it is" Shockfire tells me and leads me down the hall to a blue door "here we are" he says.
"Thanks" I tell him and smiles, walking into the room, I look around, everything was old looking, dark wooded table, an uncomfortable looking bed with red sheets, the walls painted navy blue. It was the first time I had been in the room. I lay down trying to fall asleep but completely failing, eventually I just get up and walk out into the hall trying to remember where everything is. I hear yelling coming from down the hall, Mr.Barrens office, I know I shouldn't but I cant stop myself as I tip toe down the hall to stand outside his office, my ear to the door as I listen.
"Sir I didn't know!" Shock fires voice says followed by a yelp that I'm guessing meant that Mr.Barren had hit him or thrown something at him.
"You didn't know!" Mr.Barren snarls "were you working with them two or was it just Grenade!?" He growls.
"N-no I wasn't working with them" Shockfire yelps.
"I don't believe you" Mr.Barrens voice says sounded by a click and then a book that rang out through the hallway. I cover my mouth and quickly run back to my room, forget being quiet, I recognized that noise, the noise of Mr.Barrens gun going off, I hope I am wrong. I hope that Shockfire had not been killed, for all I know, I would be next.
I crawl under my bed, hugging my crossbow like it was the only protection I had, when that gunshot had been fired something in my mind had clicked, something was off, I couldn't even think straight at the moment, I just sat under my bed curled up hugging the crossbow.
