Chapter 10
We got to the end of the tunnel and Rebecca and Alex first climbed the ladder, and then Wolfclaw did after shifting back to human form, and then Draco started to go up, but I stopped him at the tenth rung.
""How are you going to get around" I asked "I mean you don't look as human as we do" he thought about it for a second.
"I can just say that it is a costume for a party that we are going to" he said and it was a good idea "and if that doesn't work then I'll just wear something to cover me up"
"Like what" I asked and then I got an idea and started to make a silver cloak that would hide his wings, features, and claws, and he watched me make it before jumping down and trying it on. It looked perfect covering up everything but his tail and his feet.
"It feels great" he exclaimed and looked at his feet "don't you think that they will notice a tail and clawed feet"
"No not if you hide your tail in the pouch that I made for it in the back, and I don't think that anyone is going to be looking down at your feet" I said and he shrugged before climbing the ladder and meeting with the others who helped him up. I started to climb up when I felt something on my leg, and I looked down to see four scratches in my leg and a Wyvern looking thing underneath me, and I don't know why, but it seemed to smile at me for a second before scratching the other leg and walking away. I didn't fee the pain as the claws went through my skin and flesh drawing lots of blood, but I could feel the blood traveling down my legs and the pain shooting up them as I climbed the ladder.
I got to the top and looked around for a second seeing dark windows, and a matching dark sky. Then I collapsed on the floor unconscious with the others crowding around me trying to get me to talk about what happened.
"How is she" someone on my left asked but I couldn't open my eyes yet or move that much, my body wasn't ready.
"I don't know, but the venom is effecting her body dangerously, and if this continues for a couple of months..." a male voice said
"What" another voice said "she's not going to die right"
"No, but she'll be...different than she already is" the same man said and I could only guess that this was a doctor "do you have any healers in the school" oh no not a school again. I tried to move, but pain wracked my body and the little beeping to my left became escalated and I blacked out as shouts went through the room.
"How long now" it was Alex "it's been almost three weeks and no sign of her even starting to wake" I couldn't believe that it has been three weeks, but I tried to move my finger, my finger and the same thing as last time happened. My body wracked with pain and the heartbeat monitor went crazy as well as anyone that was there, and ending with me blacking out. I could feel my body stating to slowly wake up, but I couldn't move anything just yet. So for a long time I listened to them visit and wait for me to wake up, and sometimes I felt a warmth on waist or arms for the whole day, and even after the feeling left I could still feel the phantom warmth and static electricity on my skin. I didn't know who it was, but I knew that it was something that brought my entire existence alive and brought warmth and electricity coursing through my body.
"Is she almost awake" I heard someone say, and it was Wolfclaw "I need to talk to her"
"Then talk to her now" the man said
"I can't" he said "I need to do it alone"
"Fine, but I'm just giving you the option" the doctor said "she can and is probably listening to us all of the time, or at least when she can" I tried moving again, but when my body didn't respond I gave up. A long while later I could actually feel my limbs and the rest of my body, but my body, other than my arms, was still paralyzed for the moment. I touched the metal of the bed and used my metal and electricity powers to see where I was and what I was in. I saw that it was a different school than the last time with students in their classes paying close attention to the teacher. I had to use my earth powers along with the other two to see farther than the first building. I found Alex, Rebecca, Wolfclaw, and Draco in different classes at the moment with Draco and Wolfclaw doing training of sorts in separate rooms, and the two angels in different classes learning about magic, and better ways to use it. I came back to the room that I was in and found that I had a bandaged leg, but that was the only thing keeping me from, if I could at the moment, being able to stand.
Since all I could do until my body was fully functional again, I just used my powers to hack into the cameras of my friend's classes that they went to and watched what they were being taught. I even watched the Alex and Rebecca's teachings about angel magic and how to use it because I figured that I could try it later after I was able to do anything besides lay in this bed. I watched them for three more weeks as my body healed and then I stayed in bed for the last day to let my body catch up, but it didn't really need to. So I just lay there as I watched the last of this semester's test go by, and zooming in on the kids that were using mirrors, their powers, or the person next to them's test answers to cheat, and then I zoomed in the camera on the paper and saw that it was an exam for the semesters placement tests, and to see if they could get out of the class and go to an actual squad or team for the rest of the year, or longer. I zoomed into the extra pile of desks and brought them up on the screen, and then I picked the answers and submitted it into the schools network. I didn't bother to look at it because I didn't care about the score that I got, but I was just bored and wanted to do something. I finished the test in three minutes and put it into the main network and the class network, and then I went to sleep till tomorrow when I was actually going to get off this bed and do something.
The next day I woke up and looked into the building to see that everyone was asleep still, but Alex, Rebecca, Wolfclaw, and Draco were still up and they were in the playing room playing trouble on one of the tables and actually having fun for probably the first time since I was put into this conscious coma. I sat up and went over to my clothes stacked in a pile by the side of my bed and put them on before making the hospital bed not caring that they were just going to rip it apart anyways and wash it, but I was confused when I saw two large holes in the back of my body-suit but didn't really care about it because it wasn't a big deal and I could fix it later. Then I went to the showers and took a nice and long one before going to the cafe to get a bagel and some butter, and I noticed that here all of the food was free like everyone was equal here and had no problems of any kind. I looked to my left and saw a crowd of soldiers doing squad runs, and my anger flared when I saw their uniforms remembering the time months ago when I was chased by soldiers of a different type. I was actually starting to wonder where they were and what they were doing, or why they haven't found or-and tried to capture me yet to use as a weapon in their army. I noticed that the cashier was looking at me with the weirdest expression and then they bowed and I left not understanding this bowing thing and me, and I was sick of being treated like royalty and just wanted people to look at me like I was just a...regular...person.
I walked through the camp looking at the different things and not caring about the random people that bowed to me or stared at my back like it was the most interesting thing in the world.
Does she know I thought I heard someone say something and I looked at a girl that was in a group of other girls looking at me with confused looks on their faces, but I just pushed the thought to the back of my head and continued my walk. About three miles later I was studying a building that was entirely black with diamonds studded along certain spots of the place, and then I hit something and the next thing I heard was a thump. I looked down as a guy got up crushing himself off and then he turned sharply.
"Hey watch where your go-ing" he slurred the last words as what he was about to say died in his throat when he actually seemed to see me, and he bowed "I'm sorry your highness I didn't know that it was you"
"It's okay" I said and then added "I usually tear apart those who disrespect me" the guy turned white as paper, and started to shake a little, and what I said was half true, but I guess that I might as well pass it as a joke with him already scared as it is.
"I was just joking around" I said humorously scowling at him, and then I waled around him "but don't call me 'your highness" I hate it, so just call me Shadow" it was the closest that I could get without giving away my name, but he might connect the dots sometime, maybe soon maybe not. I didn't really care as I walked around the building for a second before opening a portal and walking though it to the other side of the place. I was actually surprised because they let me keep my weapons, and then I saw others and a realized that it might just be how the school works.
Hey where are you I asked the two dragons with my mental link to them
Don't do that to us a voice yelled through my head making me grip my head and sit on the grass for a second you left us for two and a half months without any communication what-so-ever
Well I'm sorry, but it wasn't my fault that I was in a coma for most of the time I said and don't yell It hurts my head
Sorry he said but how did you get into a coma, and why couldn't you talk to us during it because we would've came and watched over you.
More like get caught again and imprisoned until I set you free...again I said I'm in a school, and i don't think that they'll handle two shadow dragons coming in the middle of the night and going to the hospital tent, or tearing up the place to find me, or--
Okay, okay I get it he said when are we going to be able to see you again because we are just about to get to the others
Wait your home is that far away from the...place I hesitated unsure how to say that prison-school place
Yeah it is, but we are almost there so no worries...yet he said
Why hasn't your brother came on this link I asked I want to hear his voice I felt a purring inside of the link telling me that the other brother was listening
When we were there they cut out his vocal cords and took away his ability to telepathically communicate the older brother said if he wants to communicate then I'll have to get a healer dragon to see if he can be healed, but otherwise he writes to communicate
Oh I'm sorry little one I said knowingly that they were probably a-lot older than I was, but they didn't care because I felt a loud purr go through the link.
He says thank-you for caring and that he'll be fine without it...he has been for the last two hundred years the older brother said and we exchanged our thank-you's before cutting the link. My vision cleared and I saw that I was circled by at least ten people looking at me curiously with their eyes a little glazed over white. I wondered if that was what I looked like when I was mind-linking the two shadow-dragons, but opened a portal underneath me and fell through another one on the middle of the place...probably. I felt something on my shoulders but when I looked on the side of me I saw nothing but silver feathery things...What. I looked at my entire back and saw that I had wings, and they were completely silver with black feathers here and there, but they clinked and slid as I brushed my hand along them. This was what the girl was talking about, but how did I hear her thoughts. I spread them out to my sides and it felt amazing to stretch wings...my wings as I examined them, and then I flapped them and part of the road that was in-front of me and at least ten feet ahead of me was blown apart just by the force of my wings. Then I watched in amazement as the road started to put itself back together and when it was done it looked like nothing happened to it at all. I continued to stare at it before noticing that I still had my wings spread out, so I brought on in-front of me and saw that the underside was entirely black with silver specks here and there, and the top of my wings were the same but entirely silver with black specks here and there. I folded my wings and looked up to see that I was surrounded again by the same people with glazed eyes, and I jumped back making spikes go forward but they seemed to go through the figure and into the road staying there as the road tried to fix the damage, but couldn't.
I looked at the people and noticed that they all looked the same, but they were blurring to the side as the figures seemed to circle around me. I looked at their feet and noticed that it was a complete circle around me, but the feet and legs were sideways like they were always running in the same direction. I spun in a circle so fast that I created a tornado as I tried to follow the person, and then time seemed to slow down and I looked the kid in the eyes as he looked at mine and like he knew what I was about to do his eyes went wide as my wings spread out stopping me and creating a shock-wave that sent the figure flying across the street and into the grass, and the area around me was pulverized to almost entirely small rocks and dust. I walked towards the figure as the road and buildings repaired themselves from my shock-wave, and when I go to the figure I saw that he had gotten the wind knocked out of him and one of his ribs were broken.
He was lucky because they didn't puncture his lung, even though they came close to. I healed every other broken bone in his body which was his spine, legs, arms, hands, feet, and almost every part of his body except for above his neck, but I used telekinesis to bring his rib up to the right place and heal it just enough to not break again but still give him at least a month of pain. He was still flopping there like a fish looking at me in utter helplessness. I stood again and made an earth chair that would help him breath better, and then I looked into his eyes and flashed my eyes silver to scare him a little more than he already was.
"Don't scare people that you don't know who they are and what they can do" I said and backed up "for all I know I could've broken your face by punching you, or I could've decapitated you while you were running around me in circles instead of breaking every bone in your body and knocking the breath from you"
"You-you couldn't cut off my head with those s-swords of yours" he said breathing in deeply "they would've broken when they hit my skin"
"Why's that" I asked taking the chair away and making him fall to the floor again "because I'm pretty sure that these ones could do that perfectly fine" I said pulling out the obsidian blades and he looked at them in fear confirming my suspicions "and if you broke my silver swords I would end you painfully. I built them myself and I don't want to rebuild them, even if they would be better than they are now that I can enchant them with a little magic, but that doesn't matter because the main point is don't mess with me or you'll end up worse off" I walked away leaving him looking at me on the floor, and then I heard him get up and I looked over my shoulder to see him slowly wobble away.
I used my earth powers to find the others, and I saw that they were all sleeping in the game room with their faces on the table looking like sloths. I went in their direction using only my earth powers because I didn't know the place entirely yet, and when I got there I opened the doors quietly and went over to their table. When I was a good distance away I put a ball of fire above them and then made a camera out of metal and a few other things that I couldn't really explain how I did, or put them in it, but then I made the fire explode in a medium-sized explosion that could only be heard by this room.
They all jumped up in surprise as I took a picture, and then looked at the picture while they were still blinded seeing them frozen in pure states of surprise with the perfect camera worthy faces on in the picture. Then I opened a quick portal under me and dropped the camera and picture in with my other things stashed in my endless storage portal. I saw a head in there and disintegrated it and anything else that was disgusting in it while the others rubbed their eyes of the camera's flash.
"Hey guys" I said when they were clear enough to actually see me clearly "you guys have a-lot of talking to do" and I was crushed in a hug by a very teary Rebecca.
"Don't do that again" she said "we all didn't know when you would wake up...how long have you been up" they all looked at me expectantly and I sighed before starting to tell them about what I did. I told them that I could hear all of them in my coma and that I knew that Wolfclaw had something to talk to me about privately, making him laugh a little in nervousness, and I told them about me watching them with my earth powers during the month that they all where in classes. I left out the part when I hacked into the camera and took the placement test yesterday, but I told them that I woke up about an hour ago and they all went crazy, but mostly Wolfclaw who was asking about why didn't I get him and where was I for the past hour.
"Look I was just looking around the place" I said and then added under my breath "and almost killed a student for messing with me"
"The doctors wanted to know your name you know" Draco said "but we could only say that we have known you for this long, but didn't know your name, or who you where"
"Okay fine" I said "I will tell you my name but you must promise to not freak out, to never tell anyone here or I will have to kill and hide you somewhere where no one can find you, or kill everyone here and then leave all of you to be found by the next unfortunate soul that comes here"
"Okay" they all said a little scared and I took a deep breath before trying to get the courage to tell my friends that I was a mass murderer and assassin that kills for fun and the thrill of it.
"Okay my name is Shadow Flame and I am actually having a nice time with you guys, so I do not want to kill you, or anyone here" they all looked at me before breaking out into hysterical laughter.
"If you were Shadow Flame then we would've been dead before we could've even got to know--" Draco was interrupted by me pulling out a sword and going behind him while putting it against his throat.
"I am not joking and I can and will kill without mercy...even if it means getting rid of the only friends that I've made in my life" I whispered in his ear and everyone else took notice and backed away from me and Draco. I huffed pulling my sword away from him, then I sheathed it, spread my wings, and blasted through the roof of the building flying away from the game room. I flew for a while going at impossible speeds, and I saw that Alex and Rebecca also had their wings out, and where trying to follow me. I lost them in a couple of minutes and landed on the large clock tower on the north side of the academy overlooking everything. A couple of people ran over to see why someone was up there, but went away when I didn't do anything dangerous, besides sitting on a large clock tower, and not giving them any attention. I saw a couple of winged people heading my way and I figured that they were Alex and Rebecca trying to talk to me again, so I fell off the tower backwards and plummeted down to the earth. Then at ten feet from the ground I spread my wing and shot towards them. I pulled out my silver swords, and got ready to fight them, or to make them back off.
I got closer and saw that they had obsidian armor and their weapons varied from swords to guns and rifles. One of them pulled out a rifle and aimed at me, but I stopped and shot the other direction. I didn't hear a shot though, so I used my air powers and saw that they were hovering there looking at the spot where I was and talking to each other, but sadly wind doesn't carry sound very well so I didn't know what they were saying. I used my earth powers to make a section of the wall grow until it was a good size, and then I sat on it using the wind and a little electricity to try and make out what they were saying, or reading their lips. I stayed like that for a while until I saw a different group with diamond looking armor join with them, and then both of the groups left in the opposite direction that they came in. I decided to sleep out here and make this my spot for the moment, or night.
Thanks for reading, and if it got worse as it went I am sorry, but I haven't written in a little while and I am just starting to get used to it again, so please bear with me while I try to get through this, but I will have another chapter out soon. 1-29-18, 4144 words.
