Serendipity

Chapter 9: Incognito

"You just love making friends with the inferior."

Scourge's words meant something, but she had no answers for it. Amy left it as such and said nothing back. She thought of talking to him when he was in a better mood, but little did she know that would be the last time she'd talk to him in a while.

.:xXx:.

It was the coolest of nights. The city was full of light and the streets were in motion. That was in the main streets. In the deep alley ways, footsteps raced through the narrow passages. Three pairs of feet stepped on the same puddle of water in a small hole. Three panting figures ran down one alley to the other. One of them looked backwards and saw a group of tall figures behind them.

"Run faster!" One of the called out.

A gate was open that separated two abandoned buildings and blue eyes shimmered. "Follow me!"
They three raced into the gate and one of them closed it. He ran into the building and upstairs into a room. The room was their dead end and the only way out was through an open window.

"We're trapped!" one cried out.

"No," The one with blue eyes glared and jumped on the window pane. He held the side of it to balance himself and looked down at the bottom of the empty street. There weren't cars passing and across from the street was another building small than the one they were one and a roof. Next to him was an electrical wire that was connected to the other building. He grinned and turned around to his friends. "Grab on!"

The first one went on, then the second one. The third one stayed behind looking worried. "I don't think this is safe, guys."

The one ahead of both of them turned around dangling in the middle of the street. "Hurry or they'll get you!"

A hard noise was heard downstairs and it frightened the one still in the building. He turned around and backed away towards the windowpane. He looked over his shoulder seeing the height they were in and swallowed hard.

His friends had reached the other side and noticed that their friend had not followed. "What are you doing?" The blue eyed figure hissed.

"Don't be afraid. You can do it!" The other supported him.

The one inside the building reached out for the wire and got off the windowpane. His eyes began to get dizzy as he looked at his feet dangling. He held tightly at the wire hopping he wouldn't get electrified either. He grasps at the wire and swung with each time he used each arm.

But it was too late.

A large tall figure that had reached the window glared at him with murderous eyes. He had a large ax in his arm and his friends behind him were clapping for him to do it.

"No! Don't do it!"

"You'll kill him!"

The wire was cut.

There were bolts of lights and fire everywhere. On the roof the two boys watched as their friend burn in electricity and fell down to the bottom of the sidewalk. The loud sound of a horn rung in their ears and then a loud crash was heard. An arm grabbed the boy with green eyes and pulled him away from the edge. "Let's go!"

"What about-"

"We can't do anything. We'll get busted or killed by them," He pointed at the group in the window, leaving back down. "C'mon!"

.:xXx:.

"Listen up class. This is the first project of the semester and it's worth a lot of points. You and a partner will work on this assignment together it can't be done alone because then it ruins the point of the project."
