Mystic High: Chapter 2
"The Principal will see you now. Good Luck!" Brooke said in her same perky-hyper persona as before, and just as annoying! As we walked in I wasn't sure what to except after what happened less than thirty minutes ago, but the office seemed normal. Standing behind the desk was the same woman that attacked me, but she didn't seem rattled like she should after having a hyper-shock pass through her.
"Hazel, it's good to see you again. Amber, we did not get properly introduced. I am Principal Carter and on behalf of the students and faculty, I welcome you to our humble academy" the Principal said.
"Good to see you too Marge" Hazel said quietly, still staring at her shoes.
"Thank You Principal Carter. I just want to say sorry about earlier. If you need to remove the effects of the hyper-shock, I can." I said
"What affects you blonde bim..." Hazel started
"Hazel, don't say it" the Principal interrupted
"Bo!" Hazel stated defiantly as the room started to get darker as her dark glow expanded.
"I am not a blonde bimbo! Take it back you Goth loser!" I yelled as my bright glow grew and begin pushing Hazel's glow back. Suddenly, the two opposing glows began to meld and form a force that was in unison, working together like the tides and the moon. As the room came back into focus, you could see these creatures in the corners and on the ceiling.
"Oh my Gosh! What are those things?" Hazel said with her voice shaking.
"Hazel, I'm not sure! Maybe we should try to kill them." I said trying to not show how I was horrified on the inside. The gruesome creatures were a variety of colors from brown to green-gray with black spots and horns. There was a horrid stench about the room that was not there before.
"Okay Amber, we should at least try. And if we don't make it, I just want to say sorry for calling you a bimbo!" Hazel said as her confidence grew and her glow acquired new tones.
"Oh shut up an fight." I screamed as the beasts flew at us. Hazel and I worked in unison. The beasts seemed to not be affected by my 'old steady' tricks, so I thought I would try something new. "Hazel, watch my back!"
"OK." Hazel replied. I began to draw my glow in and draw my power to start trying to draw the fire of #life out of the beasts. It began to work, they became sluggish and started losing their color and then they turned to ash.
"I think that's all of them!" I panted out. That new trick used all my energy.
"Dude! You killed all of them? Thanks for letting me kick some butt too!" Hazel stated sarcastically.
"Where's Principal Carter?" I asked
"Marge probably ran and hid when she saw the beasts! HAHA!" Hazel laughed out.
"Hazel, Shut up. Help me look for her!" I told her.
"Yeah. Sure. Whatever." Hazel replied. We started looking around the unscathed office, but all we found was her cell phone.
"Okay, like, totally weird. Why would just she leave her cell phone when she ran?" I questioned.
"I, like, don't know!" Hazel mocked as she flipped the phone exposing three, long, deep scratches that were so deep you could see out through the screen.
"Ok. That is totally creepy. Like Twilight creepy!" I said shivering.
"What? How is Twilight creepy?" Hazel asked
"Twilight ZONE creepy, Twilight is NOT creepy. Its... um... it's romantic!" I replied, still shivering.
"Yeah! Why are you shivering? Its super hot in here!" Hazel panted out. When I looked up, I saw that she was sweating profusely. "Why don't you create a fire with your mind super girl!"
"I could try that. Oh wait, I can't!"
"Why not? Too hard for you?"
"No. But I'm out of energy because I used it up saving your ass!" I replied sarcastically.
"My ass? I can take care of my self, thank you!"
"Oh yeah? Then why didn't you do something when you had a chance?" Surprisingly, Hazel said nothing. This is not that unusual for her, being the quiet type and all. I looked at her for a minute, "What? Can't take a spoon of your own medicine?"
"No, thats not it. Look behind you!" I turned to see Brooke standing behind me, but she had five heads and five sets of hands! She was shaking her heads as she saw the ash bodies of the creatures that were all around us. In one set of her hands, she had a statue of Principle Carter cowering in fear.
"You just had to kill my precious children. I don't like to kill, but I can make an exception for your... your... murderous acts. But I won't kill you two because then HE would kill ME. But my babies will be avenged!" Brooke said, her still annoying perky voice tinged with anger, sorrow, and hatred.
"How" Hazel started to ask.
"Who would kill you?" I questioned
"To save your principle, meet me on Pluto!" Broke said. Then she leapt through the ceiling with the Principle Carter statue still in her meaty vice-like grip. I looked at Hazel and saw a mischievous glint in her eye that answered my own questions.
"Well then, I guess we're going to space!" Hazel simply stated.
