I was awake only three times during school today.
No1 To move to different classes(sleeping spots).
No2 During lunch. I didn't carry a lunch pack, I just didn't like the thought of it, and so I bought some random food, since none of them could ever compare to my mum's,
No3 When school was over. It was my favourite school time.
Why didn't my teacher complain about my sleeping in class?, it was simply because Classes were huge.
Or atleast huge to me, there were about 50 students in each class, the school was big.
Plus my teachers had stopped caring about stuff like that, apparently we are adults now as we are soon to graduate.
I was older than everyone in my class by a year, I was absent for a year of class because of the accident.
I couldn't leave the house back then and wasn't allowed to, especially not alone.
It was time to go home now, as for how I kept up my grades, it was simply all Alex's help.
It wasn't like I was asleep throughout the school day, just the really boring classes which was like only 90 percent.
And so I owed Alex a lot, since the accident she was the only one I could open up to in school.
I was also a transfer student, just a year before she transferred too.
In school, especially in one this big, if you try to be alone people would leave you be.
Except her, and eventually I gave in and she became valuable to me.
We walked home together, leaving the school building far behind.
We chatted idly and soon we were in her street, the sky was getting dark, it was often like this recently.
Longer nights shorter days, I've forgotten what it's called but I guess it might also start to snow too.
"We have assignments maybe you could come over and I'll teach you some things, also my parents would be late today so..." She said.
I stopped in my tracks immediately and she turned to look at me, then she walked towards me slowly.
She was really close now, I took in her figure up close, her skin was a soft radiant brown, her hair fell behind her in long braids, she smelled nice too.
I lost focus of everything else, and then she kicked me on the shin hard and continued walking home.
"I'm sorry and I know I deserved that but I'd rather not be kicked in the shin" I said smiling. "You deserve to be kicked harder" She replied and I laughed to that.
A kick hit me in the ribs, one I didn't have time to block, but I managed to steady myself and not get knocked to the ground as three men walked out from a corner between two buildings.
"Fuck" I muttered to myself, this was the first time I've been attacked when with her, this was bad.
Alex screamed, one of the men that left the corner joined the man who kicked me to corner Alex, the remaining two walked towards me slowly.
I looked around briefly, the whole street was clear.
The two dragged Alex into the corner, while Alex screamed for help, the other pair planned to do the same to me.
I had a different plan for them, I dashed towards the one on the left quickly, uppercutting him on the jaw.
The other tried to attack me, he was pitiful, his attacks were rushed with sudden fear and urgency.
I elbowed him and a sweep kick knocked him to the floor, a swift kick to the head knocked him out.
That's two down, two more to go, I noted to myself.
I rushed towards the corner, I could see them, the man who kicked me and Alex, he held her still as she struggled in his arms.
My heart boiled at the scene, I ran towards him to attack, Alex was shaking her head at me.
The man had covered her mouth with a piece of cloth. He laughed as I charged towards them angrily, he won't be laughing long I could assure him that.
Enraged I stepped into the dark corner and out of the sides I got whacked in the head with a metal bar...
All went dark.
....
"Search the guy" Mammon said to us, soon enough I'll take over and be the new Mammon, he was far too soft.
I spat out a tooth and nodded to snake and dragon, the bastard uppercut me, he'll pay for that.
Dragon and I moved to touch the guy, the second we touched him he sprang to his feet, this guy wasn't normal.
Dragon had to wake snake and I, but this guy... he pushed away dragon, instantly awake and aware of his surroundings.
Before I could react he punched me, in the stomach this time.
I doubled over, dizziness washed over me.
Fuck Mammon, I thought to myself. This should have been solved easily with a blade.
Dragon tried to de-escalate the situation. "No one needs to get hurt" he said, "we just want some stuff and we can both be on our way".
Couldn't he hear himself, it was pathetic, people needed more convincing than that.
I pulled out the knife in my pocket as the boy charged at Dragon.
The girl screamed, she was lucky, apart from searching her bag we didn't touch her.
A shame, she was beautiful but apparently that's not the way we do things.
In seconds Dragon was on the ground groaning, the kid was fast and strong.
But I had a knife.
He had just reached Mammon while I stuck it into his side.
I put him to the ground and held him firm.
The boy moaned in pain, he tried to struggle but it didn't pay him well.
"Fuck... Mouse what have you done!!!." Snake screamed, I looked at Mammon, he's only good trait was his composure.
He looked into my eyes calmly, but I could see his inner conflict, almost hear him scream to himself this isn't how we do things.
"Snake search the bag" I ordered, this would be how we do things, I said to myself, I found the boys phone on him.
It was cracked. I shoved it into my pocket anyways.
The girl cried, she couldn't stand anymore, but Mammon kept her up.
Good he didn't let her go, she could still run.
"Fuck!! Fuck!!!" Snake mumbled out loud, "The bastard's got nothing on him", "we gotta go,".
Dragon pulled me off the boy, "Enough Mouse" he said, "Get up!! let's...." he couldn't complete his sentence as he crumbled to the ground.
He was screaming, the scream sounded like it'll tear his throat coming out.
I looked around quickly, seeing only the boys hand and his skin. What could have done.....
And next all I heard were screams, the voice didn't even sound human.
I later came to realise there were more than one voice screaming, because one of those voices was mine.
All went dark.
.....
I screamed, I felt a pain in my side and immediately after I was tackled to the ground.
"Fuck... Mouse what have you done!!!" I heard someone say, I could feel the blood leaving me, the burning pain in my side, the skin felt like it hugged the object tightly, I could feel the object in my body.
I moaned in pain my body cried out to remove the object, but I was held down firmly, my hands behind my back.
A tear drop streaked from my eye, I tried to move my body, to struggle but it caused more pain and so I remained still.
I was gonna die here, I looked at Alex she looked to be held up only by the man holding her.
She was crying, and it was all my fault.
If only I didn't fight, if only I was more calm.
Sounds were messed up in my head, my eyes were dizzy, my energy bubbled wildly in my body trying to keep me alive.
If only my energy could heal me, or do something, Anything would be helpful at this point.
The weight on my body was free, I could move again, but everything was pain.
I moved my hands touching the two guys nearest to me, I pushed my energy into them.
They screamed one after the other, it was satisfying to my ears, my energy bubbled more wildly.
Our contact was a link, I took in their energy and I pushed my energy into them.
Standing to my feet, I could feel my energy powering me, a piercing pain came from my skull, and all I could see were shades of red.
There were only three enemies around me, the two on the floor and the one holding Alex, I could tell that one of the guys fled.
I walked towards my only standing enemy.
Alex and the enemy looked at me with fear in their eyes, I must look like an undead to them, I never wanted her to see me like this.
My eyes spun and I stumbled but managed to keep walking, the screams continued behind me, they must be suffering, the victims.
I began to laugh, the pain in my skull increased, everyone was suffering, everyone except him.
I pointed to my next victim, he dropped Alex, mumbling rubbish that didn't matter anymore as he fell, his knees too weak to hold him.
I would make him suffer the most, his screams would echo forever till his voice was gone.
I ran towards him, the wound in my side meaning nothing. He couldn't run, paralysed by fear they call it, a trait only a fool could possess.
I reached him in an instant, he stumbled backwards on the floor he just made my job easier, I straddled him pummelling him with blows.
"We didn't mean to..." I interrupted his speech with a blow. "It.... wasn't meant to...." another blow, didn't he get that his words were useless, nothing mattered now.
"I'm sorry..." another blow, he was bleeding from his forehead and gums now."Shut up" I said, it was the only warning I would give. The men behind us have stopped screaming, I could feel the life force of one of them gone completely.
Tears streamed down from the eyes of my enemy, tears I could never pay attention to.
"Help me..." he choked out, I didn't interrupt that with a punch. "Please...." his eyes stretched beyond me.
It took me a while to understand who he was talking to, and it enraged me further.
He screamed as I took out the dagger from my side. I pressed it to his throat, he would die now, he was pathetic beyond torturing.
He screamed louder, and suddenly a hand grabbed my knife hand from behind.
I swung my hand backwards in irritation, I turned around seeing a purple and yellow figure in my blurry red background.
That purple and yellow figure winced in pain, and I saw it instantly, a color of the brightest red in my blurry vision, it streaked along the purple.
I caused that injury my mind registered slowly, my vision cleared, the pain in my skull receding and the world returned to it's normal colours.
What have I done.
