Dimension Academy

Chapter 8: Eight

Five snuck around a small yellow house with Nine behind him. When they got to the door, Five grabbed Nines arm.
"Awh, finally your showing affection." Nine whispered.
"Do you want to get into this house with me or not?" Five whispered back. Five teleported them both inside of the house and he let go of Nines arm. Five pulled out a pistol and creeped around the corner into the bedroom. Karl was in the bed, sleeping. Five snuck into the bedroom and held up the gun. He fired three shots into Karl. But something was different. Five walked over to the bed and lifted up the blanket. It wasn't Karl who he shot, it was just pillows set up to look like someone was there. Five turned around to Nine with wide eyes.
"They know we're here!" Five exclaimed.
"Who knows we're here?!" Nine confusingly said.
"Hide! I can handle this!" Five gave Nine his gun and pushed him into a closet and shut the door. They heard banging on the front door.
Nine looked next to him. It was a safe, but it was locked. He squinted his eyes and suddenly he could see an x-ray of the safe. He saw money, passports, and a gun. He started looking around for something to help open it.
Five ran out the back door. He ran across the yard and into a shed. He shut the doors behind him. He grabbed an axe off of the wall. He opened the shed door and dragged the axe across the yard and back into the house. The people were in the house saying, "where is he?"
Five dragged the axe into the living room where the people were. They looked over to him.
"I'm right here." Five said as he ran towards them with the axe up. They started shooting their guns, but Five teleported before the bullets could hit him. He teleported behind one of them. He lifted up the axe and swung. The guys head came clean off and fell on the floor along with his body. Five jumped off of the couch, dodging all of their bullets, and put the axe is another guys head. He pulled the axe out of his head. The others shot at Five, but he again teleported before the bullets made contact. He teleported behind one of them and slammed the axe right into their back. They gasped and fell face first onto the floor. Five grabbed that guys gun and turned to face the couple guys remaining.
"Any last words?" Five smiled. All of a sudden, one of them shot their gun. It was so sudden, Five didn't have time to teleport. The bullet went right into Five's side. Five gasped and fell down. He screamed in pain. He squinted his eyes and bared his teeth as he held the wound with his hands. The remaining guys held their guns to Five, ready to end his misery.
Luckily, Nine recognized that scream. He hurried and opened the closet door. He brought Fives gun with him. He ran into the living room. He saw them about to shoot Five, and Five with a bullet wound on the floor. They didn't know Nine was there, however. Nine aimed, and shot them both in the chests. Five quickly turned his head to see who shot them.
"Number Nine!" Five smiled. Nine squatted down next to Five.
"We need to get you outta here." Nine helped Five stand up.
"How about Karl?" Five asked Nine.
"You can get him another day. For now, you need help." Nine told Five.
Nine helped Five walk out of the house and down the road.
"What are we gonna tell the others?" Five looked over to Nine.
"All we'll tell them is that you got attacked, no more than that." Nine said.
They eventually reached their house. Nine opened the front door.
"Help! Somebody! We need help!" Nine shouted as he lied Five down on the couch. Eight came rushing down the stairs.
"What's going on?" She asked Nine.
"Five got attacked! He was shot in the side!" Nine told Eight. Eight kneeled down next to the couch Five was on.
"Can you heal me?" Five looked at Eight.
"I can make you feel better." Eight gave a little smile.
Eight began to clean the wound. After that, she put a bandage over it.
Five fell asleep on the couch after she was done. Eight looked over to Nine.
"He must be tired. From what I've heard, he hasn't got much sleep." Eight sat down in the arm chair.
"Yeah. I know he hasn't." Nine sighed.
"He's littler than us which means he's more fragile that us. We have to look after him like we're his older siblings or something." Eight said to Nine.
"I've been walking around with him for about a week now. He's a feisty little thing." Nine smiled.
"You better believe it." Eight nodded. "Why do you walk around with him? It's only ever you, why don't you take turns with someone else?" Eight added.
"I don't know. I guess it's kind of interesting seeing what he does." Nine shrugged. Nine knew he was lying, he just didn't want to tell Eight the truth about why he was really following Five everywhere.
"If Five got attacked, then the lab knows we're here." Eight said.
"They know that Fives here." Nine corrected her.
"And what if they get Five? We need him!" Eight looked over to Five, who was sleeping on the couch still.
"We shouldn't be worried too much about Five. If they catch him and put him back into that lab, he will easily escape again." Nine smiled.
"Okay, but worst case scenario, they beat Five like they did today, but this time they kill him. Why didn't they kill him, anyway?" Eight wondered.
"Because I was there." Nine replied.
"Oh, great! Now they know that you AND Five are here!" Eight threw her hands up.
"No, it's okay! I killed them before they had a chance to see me." Nine told her.
"Oh, so now you're killing people. That's just great, Nine." Eight sighed.
"It was to save Five's short-as-frick butt!" Nine yelled.
"What would've happened if you weren't there?" Eight asked Nine.
"They would've shot Five in the head. He would've died." Nine told Eight.
"Alright, okay? Good job Superman, you saved another life." Eight stood up.
"Eight-" Nine watched her go up the stairs. Nine looked down at Five. "That boy and his stupid goals." Nine mumbled.
