The Human Xenocide

Chapter Ten - Him

“Oh, what are you going to do now?” he continued to taunt her, “bite me?” he backed away and broke out laughing.  His laugh echoed through the empty halls.

“Who are you?” she asked coldly.

“You got a lot to learn, Darth.” He smiled at her.  A deep hum stuck in his last word.  Darth.  The hum increased to a high pitch squeal which painfully rung in her ears.

Lilly put a hand up to one of her ears and an explosion of wind blew her off her feet along with a thunderous explosion of sound.  The force of the explosion rattled the classroom windows and tore the beanie off her head.  When she looked up for the mysterious boy, he was gone.

She quickly scrambled to her feet and ran for her beanie which had been blown across the hall.  She noticed no one left the classrooms to see what the noise was about.  As she adjusted her beanie on her head she glanced into one of the rooms.  A teacher was lecturing and the students where rapidly taking notes as if nothing happened outside.

Two police officers wandered around the building and into the hall Lilly was in.  “Shouldn’t you be in class?” the taller one shouted across the hall.

“Wait!  You’re that girl from the case last week.” The second one recognized her.  “You and your boyfriend were supposed to show up for questioning.  But never did, we need to talk.”

A distant ringing continued in the back of Lilly’s ears.  Some side effect from the explosion.  “No we don’t,” Lilly said with her controlling aura still out.  She felt an odd sensation in her head, then began to feel lightheaded.

“Yes we do.”  The officer glared back, “show me were your buddy Sean is.”

“No! I command you to forget about it!” she started to feel dizzy. Something was wrong.

The taller officer circled around her.  He grabbed one of her hands and yanked it behind her back.  “Don’t you go harassing an officer like that,” he said in a deep voice.

“Let go of me!” she pulled against the officer.  The world around her started twirling. She was having a hard time keeping herself on her feet.  She heard the officer clamp a metal cuff onto her wrist and felt him pull her other arm behind her back.

Lilly stopped trying to control them, it wasn’t working.  The ringing dulled but remained in her head as she wobbled under the officer’s mass.  Once she was securely cuffed, he said in a firm tone, “Where is your buddy Sean?” 

“Over there.”  Lilly swung her head in the general direction of her math class while trying to more importantly to balance herself.  The officers noticed she was having a hard time standing up.  Drugs?

Sean waited in the class for upwards of fifteen minutes by now.  He couldn’t concentrate on the math problems.  Lilly had been gone for quite a while.  He dropped his pencil when he heard Lilly out in the hall yelling, “Hey! Let go of me! Ouch, stop pushing! Let GO!!” A police officer entered the room and glazed over the students.  A few kids next to the windows stood up, to see who got arrested.

The officer was the same one he explained his story to before the weekend, he had forgotten to stop at the police station like told.  He looked down at his paper and closed his eyes.  He sighed as he heard the officer say “Sean,” as he spotted the one kid not trying to look out the window. Sean turned around and looked at the cop.

The officer pointed at Sean and asked, “Can you come with me?”

Sean snatched his bag off the floor and slid his book and papers into it.  Dragged out of his class by the cops, wonderful.
