35 Shadows Everywhere

"Wha-" Isabelle was so stunned that she can't even form a complete word, let alone a sentence.

She tried opening her mouth but nothing came out. She closed it and opened it again but her voice was just not working. Then they heard a loud screech echoing through the hallway.

"No time to explain, we have to go" Leo said, as Seth moved to the back of his wheel chair and started pushing. "Oh, and close your mouth. You don't want to get possessed by those shadows"

Isabelle didn't even realized that her jaw was still hanging. She closed her mouth, willed her nerves to calm down and stop her legs from shaking.

She started to move even though everything around her doesn't makes sense.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"What the hell is happening! What are those things?!" Fleur demanded, while running.

"Don't have time to explain!" Alisa said, as they all ran through the hallways. A bunch of shadows hot on their tails.

"We have to stop them or else more people will be hurt" June said

Caleb and Alisa were about to protest but they knew June was right. They can't let more innocent people be hurt by things they can't even comprehend.

Caleb, Alisa and Andrew nodded at June, letting him know they got his back.

June smiled and they all stopped running. Well except for Fleur, who kept running as fast as her pair of heels can take her.

When she realized that she was alone running, she stopped and turned back to see the four standing ground, about to be ran by a huge mob Shadows.

"What are you guys doing?!" She shouted at them, like they're crazy

The four didn't have time to responded when the mob of shadows closed in.

June, Alisa and Caleb all pulled out their sacred weapons, while Andrew stood back, ready with his violin.

As the hunting tune of Andrew's violin filled the hall, the temperature started dropping creating a thick mist.

A swarm of ice butterflies flew directly to the shadows, freezing anything in their path

June, Alisa and Caleb charged swiftly hack and stab shadows, turning them to dust or turning them back to normal human beings. But more shadows kept appearing.

The four did their best to fend off all the shadows but there was just too many. One of the Shadows went for Fleur whose hiding in between the lockers, hoping that she won't be noticed. When Fleur saw the shadow coming, her fear turned into down right annoyance.

"WANNA PIECE OF ME! COME AND GET IT!" Fleur shouted, taking out a hair spray from her bag. She went on and sprayed, hitting the Shadow straight in the face. Although it did slow the Shadow for a moment, but when the can of hair Spray run out the Shadow screeched, annoyed, and went for the kill.

Fleur dived to the ground, comically screaming, missing the sharp blade of the shadow, impaling the lockers instead.

The Shadow hissed, pulling out its Arm-Blade. It went for another stab but Alisa kicked it's head, distracting it, getting its attention "Hey over hear". Hissing again, the shadow went for Alisa.

Fleur opened her eyes, checking her body to see if all her body parts are still intact. When she's sure that all her body part were still in place, "Hallelujah" She sigh in relief, putting a hand on her chest. That's when she noticed a lock of red hair laying of the tiled floor beside her. Her heart beat started beating faster, eyes widening as realization kicks in.

"AW! HELL TO THE NAW!" Grabbing the lock of hair, eyes turning murderous.

June, Andrew, Caleb and Alisa were busy fighting the Shadows, when a loud scream filled the hallway getting everybody's attention, even the Shadows.

They saw Fleur screaming like a banshee, charging for the Shadow that was attacking her a while ago. She jumped on it's back wrapping her legs around the Shadow's torso. She was pulling something that looks like.... Hair? around the shadow's neck.

The shadow thrashed around, doing it's best to loose Fleur, but Fleur just hang on and pulled the hair around the shadow's neck harder.

"Nobody messes with my hair and gets away with it!" Fleur growled, pulling harder. The Shadow looked like it was loosing consciousness from lack of oxygen (Or whatever Shadows breathe).

June, Andrew, Caleb, and Alisa with the rest of the Shadows stood there watching dumbfounded by what they were seeing. The Hair was so strong, that is didn't even snap while choking the Shadow.

Fleur gave the hair a final pull and the Shadow turned to a normal teenager. Fleur got off the back of the teenager and turned to the mob of Shadows. "Who's next!" She shouted looking very murderous.

The Shadows took a visible step back. And June, Andrew and Caleb took this as an opportunity to finish the Shadows off.

"Alisa get Fleur out of hear, we'll handle the rest!" Andrew shouted

Andrew played a piece he wrote called "Rose Garden". And a rose garden made of ice bloomed, Encasing any Shadows in it's path with ice. Ice thorny vines wrapped against Shadows tightly, constricting them.

Caleb jumped and stayed in the air, infusing his spear with red and blue aura. He threw three spears, impaling the ground. The spear glowed brighter and exploded in purple fiery like aura.

June's sword burst in golden flames. He swung the sword and shoots out a wide arc of fiery wave, burning everything in it's path

Alisa on the other hand, is pulling a raging Fleur from charging. "Fleur we have to go!" Alisa said pulling Fleur. When the Shadows screeched charging at them, that was the only persuasion Fleur needs to retreat.

"Hey, I was just kidding" Fleur said, both hands in the air, then sprinted the other way leaving Alisa to follow behind her.

Alisa and Fleur left the three to handle the Shadows, and run to find a safe place. That's when Fleur realized something's not adding up "Wait" She said stopped running, when the coast was clear.

"What?" Alisa stopped running as well

"How many were we when ran for our lives?" Fleur asked, turning to Alisa

"Seven, Why?" Alisa asked, then her eyes widen in realization.

"Where are Pearl and Alex?" Fleur said, her voice very low in fear.

"They must have been separated from the chaos" Alisa said. Closing her eyes "I can't sense them, the school's too Chaotic" Alisa said opening her eyes.

"Okay, as much I want my explanation in what the hell is happening, we need to find Isa, Pearl and Alex first" Fleur said.

Alisa nodded, Then smiled "Was that a weave?"

Fleur turned with a smug smile "Hell yeah that's a WEAVE!"

Alisa laughed and they both started running again.

Crystal Mist High, Chemistry Lab

"Are we safe?" Alex asked with a low voice, whose sitting on the ground, panting real hard, wincing at the large gash has on his arm. He was slashed by a shadow when they got separated from the rest.

"I think were safe for now" Pearl said with an equally low voice, also panting, Checking the surroundings.

Pearl knelt in front of Alex examining the wound making Alex wince again. Alex already lost a lot of blood. His clothes drenched in blood and his skin is already turning pale.

"We need to get this treated soon" Pearl said, worried in her eyes. Removing the fabric that's tying her hair and tightly wrapped it around Alex's wound.

"I'm fine" Alex tried saying but then he started coughing some kind of black liquid. He gritted his teeth preventing himself from shouting in pain, He started sweating like crazy, His eyes started getting heavy, and his breaths became labored.

"Alex!" Pearl said, worry in her eyes. Gently cupping his face with both of her hands.

When Alex let out a groan full of pain Pearl started to panic "Alex stay with me, stay with me!" tapping his cheeks lightly. Tears started streaming down her cheeks.

"I've always loved you P" Alex said, his voice hoarse "Ever since we were kids until now I still love you, and if this is the end for me I just wanted you to know" He said with a sad smile.

"Stupid Alex, you're not dying on me! You hear me! I love too! So you are not dying on me" Pearl cried
