Chapter 6: Guilty

Your feet leave the floor as the elevator speeds down and this makes you look away quickly your cheeks reddening quickly while your crossing your arm's. Warren puts his hand up to stop himself from hitting the ceiling as you both seem to free fall around the small elevator. The sun sets slowly providing only alittle lighting to the pair as you both nearly bump into one another as you hit the ceiling.

"You can't possibly tell me your upset with me" Warren said a sly smirk on his lips making you scoff before looking back at him your face inches from his own.

" I wouldn't have to tell you anyway, becuase you'd already know. And what exactly should I be upset about exactly? Unless...you said or did something that I should be upset about Mr.Peace" you stated with a narrowed look at him both your eyebrows furrowed together leaning back.

Warren's smile faltered before he shook his head "I'm entirely innocent. Your the one who's guilty, Ms.Hero" he accused you making you gap at him in disbelief stifling a scoff with a laugh.

"Me?" You point to yourself a finger on your chest before you roll your eye's "And what could I possibly be guilty of?" You asked him waiting for a reasonable explanation. Warren chuckled before answering his hand coming off the ceiling as his body slowly drifted towards the floor as the elevator slows down coming closer to the ground below.

"I recall a moment you had said that Mr.Stronghold wasn't so bad. And look who ended up freezing his superhero butt to the school grounds" Warren said crossing his arm's with a sly smirk knowing he's got you beat.

Your grin falls and you pout looking away from him as your feet touch the ground as the elevator screeches to a stop "That...." you paused realizing you couldn't testify your actions making him laugh at you and your cheeks flush in embarrassment before your frost covered hand shoves against his leather jacket.

"Shut it Lavalamp. Will isn't all bad. He's just an idiot at times" you defend holding your books close.

The elevator doors open and you both step out into the open field before glancing towards the few blocks needed to get to civilization. Warren then looks to his watch on his wrist before cursing lightly and turning to you making you look up at him in question an eyebrow raised "What?" You asked.

"I've gotta go. My shift starts in ten minutes and if I'm not there before then---let's just say it's not good" he explains before you pout and nod.

"Fine, leave me in the wilderness to fend for myself, I'm only an ice powered junior in a superhero highschool. I don't need a nice big manly man to protect me from wild beasts and spiked plants or even robbers, no of course not." you stated sarcastically before smiling at him with a giggle as he rolled his eye's.

"I think you'll be alright, your an icicle. Cold, sharp, and lethal" he says and you chuckle before placing a hand on his cheek dragging your thumb across his cheek "But, not to you now am i?" You ask him jokingly.

His hand goes to your hand on his jawline before he envelops it in his larger one and heat spreads through your freezing fingertips "Your the cold to my heat, remember" he whispers his voice husky and you shudder your breath caught in your throat as he brings your hand to his mouth placing a gentle kiss on your palm.

Silence spreads through the area and you can hardly register the sunset behind you both that provided more atmosphere then you realized. Warren leans down bringing your hand to his shoulder making you step closer to him, his eyes link to your own and as your body nears his you take little notice in the steam slowly rising into the air.

"But, you warm me up like no one else" He finishes making you smile warmly before you lean upwards your lips inches from his own. His hand comes to the back of your neck and you feel a heat bubble up inside you, your cheeks burn and you can't think of anything else but, what's happening in the moment.

His lips brush your own in a rush of passion before you both jump as you hear a monstrous screech of anger erupt from the city street's. You both turn towards the noise with an annoyed look before rolling your eye's "Stronghold's" you both mutter knowing the two superhero legends were taking down a villain as we speak.

As another crash erupts from the city, you both break apart the moment crushed but, your hands linked.

"I'll see you tomorrow?" You asked him a pink tint on your rosy face.

"Definetly" he answer's before you smile and wrap your arm around him.

"To be Continued" he whispers as his arm's embrace you as well making you chuckle before you release one another.

With one last look you both go your separate ways, ice gathers at your feet as you walk. Emotions going through your head like another tidal wave making you shake your head in frustration before realizing you were making a trail.

You groan your shoulder's falling before you feel pure ice begin to weigh down your feet as you stride through the grass to the streets only a block away. As you come to the concrete ground you bang your feet into the ground hearing the crack of the ice enveloping your shoes before it splatters across the pavement.

Your mind wanders back to Warren and you can't help but, smile giddy before you go into a light jog making your way home. However, your journey is delayed as you pause seeing the street light down the road goes out suddenly as if a power overload causing the glass surrounding the bulb to shatter.

The next one follows suit until one by one they all shatter violently as if an invisible force passes by breaking them as it makes its way towards you. You back away your eye's wide having never seen anything like this happen before.

You gasp before crying out as the street light above you pops sending glass shards raining down on you but your hand goes up quickly. Your hand turns into solid ice spreading past your fingertips as if a sheild and you hear the faint Tink as the glass hits the sheild as you hide under it.

Soon after the entire block goes dark making you hold you hold your breath and shudder as your pupils dilate "Who's there?!" You yell into the street unsure of what to do as your eye's dart every which way.

The streets remain quiet as if nothing had ever occurred and you notice the attack involving Will's Superhero family seemed to have become non existent. Your hurriedly begin to make your way down the street, if there was anything out there. You didn't want to be here when it showed it's face.

You pale however when you hear something as if breathing behind you making you turn quickly jumping. You could hardly see due to the sun setting only a few minutes ago, your eye's dart from the buildings to the street signs to the other side but, you couldn't see anything.

You back away once more before you take off putting all your energy into your feet, you panic as you hear what seems to be footsteps approaching making you run faster. Heavy breathing proceeds behind you but not like a need for air, the person behind you produce a horrifying sound as if wanting to eat you alive.

You scream in horror as the person catches the collar of your shirt pulling you back violently. Your books fly out of your hands before tumbling to the floor, your land on your back with a grunt before you moan in pain before rolling to your belly to look up.

You can't see the person, you can't see anything besides the ground below you and your fingertips. It's pitch black and there's be nothing to provide light, that's when you hear rapid footsteps approaching once more making you scream.

Fear gets the best of you as your hands meet the ground, ice spreads faster then anything you've witnessed across the entire street even going as far to coat the buildings with frost. The running ceases but, nothing skids to the ground like you expected. It's as if everything was just in your mind.

You stand on shaky limbs and quickly pick up your fallen notes and books fumbling as you keep yours eye's on the streets as your eye's start to adjust.

You then turn bolting down the street once more breathing heavy and your eye's begin to tear before you feel the slight sting in your hands as you open the door to the house slamming it as you look it fumbling with the locks.

As you lock it you slide down the door after turning in the light realizing just how badly you were shaking as you bring your knee's to your chest.

"(Y/n)?" You hear your mother call from upstairs as you feel a hand on your shoulder realizing it's your father. You don't say anything as you wrap your arms around him remembering the shadows and the dark surrounding you. The violent pull as you tumble to the ground only to realize there was no one around you.

Who or what was following you?
