Creatures of Eviood High - The School of Good and Evil (#1)

31. Chosing Good...or Evil

I cry.
I sob like a frikin four year old. The tears well in my eyes and they cascade down my face. Blood tears. My body starts to shake, but I can't stop it. I wrap my arms around my chest and sob louder, probably not even heard over the battle to my left. I stare at my bare legs, and then cry even more. Why did I have to see that? I was Evil...pure pure Evil. I killed people, people who didn't deserve to die. I killed Evil creatures, even though they were meant to survive.
I was a monster....
"Are you alright?"
I look up and see someone standing over me. I don't know who it is; it's hard to see in the dark.
"Go away" I whisper.
The figure leans down and sits next to me on the wall. It's a guy; easy to hear that from his voice.
"What happened?" he asked.
I turn to him.
It's Tony.
I nearly laugh out loud, but I start crying again like the little baby I am. My cheeks feel sticky with blood and any more of this and I might pass out from blood loss.
"What colour are my eyes?" I ask him softly.
He leans over and peers at me, looking straight into my eyes.
"Red."
I cry louder, my body shaking.
"Fate?"
"I killed you. I killed you Tony" I sob and he looks at me confused.
"What?"
"I KILLED YOU!" I roar, then start sobbing again. My body shakes, and it starts to vibrate.
"But I'm alive" he says. "And that's all that matters."
I sniff, and I cry out. Well, it's more like a scream. I scream so loud, the ground starts to shake. I scream so loud, Tony has to put his hands over his ears.
"Fate! Stop!" he shout, but I can barley hear him.
I stop my screaming abruptly and turn to him, my face streaking of blood.
"I was a murderer" I whisper. "You said one thing, and I clawed you, then twisted your neck."
He's silent for a moment. Then he brings me into a tight hug, and I embrace it. My body is still shaking, but Tony isn't complaining, so I don't think he minds. Much.
"Fate, go back out there and kick some Destroyer butt" he says into my ear and lets me go.
I nod my head and stand, my body still shaking.
"Oh, and Fate?"
I turn to him, but my movements are strange. Like fast and jerky, sharp.
"Be careful."
I nod and turn back to the fight. It's about seven minutes I think. My body is still twitching, and every now and then, a ripple will move through me, racking my body. I see Victor on the ground, and I rush over there before the spider/human/destroyer can. I pick him up bridal style and I rush to Joe.
"You don't have to--"
"OH MY GISH! YES I DO!" I shout and he zips his lips.
I grab Joe's hand and pull him towards the side of the school.
"Hey!" he protest but I ignore him.
I lean Victor against the wall and I turn to Joe.
"Keep...him...safe" I say, my breath leaving me. I can barley strangle a word out. What's wrong with me? "Victor...
...safe" I say then glare daggers at Joe.
"Fine" he says and holds his hands up in surrender.
The sky rumbles with thunder, making me wince. Not damn long now.
"How did you know my name?" Victor asks.
Crap.
"Er...I know...things" I say and I turn to dash off but Joe grabs my arm.
"Are you okay? You're twitching like a dead mouse. Like...your movements are sharp."
"I'm...fine" I say and Joe let's go of me. I turn and rush away. Then I'm thrown into the window of a classroom.
Oh man, not again.
I sit up and groan, my head spinning. In the mess of chairs, I see the mirror and I almost scream when I see the colour of my eyes.
Black.
I slowly get up, using every ounce of strength I have to ignore my eyes, and I lean against the wall. A small trickle of blood runs down my temple and I wince.
How many times have I been injured? Ten times now?
Near the window is Deathra, using awesome nina skills on a Destroyer.
Then an idea pops into my head.
"Deathra!" I call and run to her.

I have a job for you.

Gavin POV

I shoot another Destroyer, twist, then another. Where did Fate go? She was here, then she disappeared. Like magic, though that's not the greatest expression to use since she can actually do magic.
Something jumps on top of me and snarls in my face, it's terrible breath making me want to throw up.
"Ew" I spit.
Then, the thing is thrown off me and Scar stands there with a grin on her face. She still wears that mask that makes her look like some sort of vigilante.
"Thanks" I say as she helps me up. She grins mischievously and runs into the crowds of fighting creatures.
I hear a scream, a long...long...painful scream. Everyone, even the destroyers cover their ears. The scream is loud and painful, and I feel like my eardrums are just about to explode. Then it stops abruptly, giving everyone relief. Silence washes over the battle field, and I know what everyone is thinking.
Was that a Banshee?
Then, the roars and the sounds of metal clashing against metal sound and the fight has begun yet again.
