Note: I do not own any of the Underland Chronicles.
Luxa read and re-read the message over and over again, trying to find a way that it could be a mistake. It just couldn't be true. The Warrior, who fought through thousands of gnawers, spinners, and cutters, die from a few kids who didn't even have weapons? She was in shock, unable to feel the pain at the time, but she knew that soon, she would feel it.
Gregor opened his eyes, and found himself looking up at the faces of his family. They looked concerned, and Gregor knew at once he must have been screaming again.
"It's okay, I just had another nightmare. That's all."
When they didn't leave, he sighed and got out of bed. His parents left, while Boots and Lizzie waited for him to say something. He shook his head and told them to leave. He got dressed for school, when a picture fell out of his pocket. He looked at it and nearly started screaming again. It was him and Luxa, in the museum of Overlander items. I wonder how long this will last. After being in the Underland for so long, he had made new friends, and when he was done with the prophecies, he was dragged home. He had sunk into a depression, and after missing a few weeks of school, he was expelled. His family had relocated to Virginia. Today was his last day of school.
He had a good day at school up until lunch. The school bully, a kid in 10th grade, knocked Gregor's tray out of his hands. Gregor, tired of being pushed around, punched the kid, and in one hit, knocked him unconscious. Fighting the buzzing in his head, he disabled the two kids that jumped up to fight him. One after the other, kids popped up everywhere in the room to fight Gregor, when he was surrounded, he heard the principal over the loud speaker.
"Everybody report to the lunch room! Kill Gregor!"
He knew that the people in this school hated him, but to go this far? He fought off the kids brilliantly, and soon there was a pile of either dead, or unconscious kids around him. Even when the kids were up to his knees, he saw more filing in through the doors. Ripred's voice rang through his head, I start to crack at about 400 to 1. He started getting worried, and released the buzzing, going into full rager mode. He killed almost 500 kids, but just then, 15 12th graders attacked him. He punched 5 in the stomach, but the others grabbed him from behind. He elbowed one, then spun around and kicked the others. The 5 that he punched in the stomach were back on their feet, and punched him, sending him flying into the wall behind him. Dazed, he slowly felt the buzzing die down. He fought against it, and brought the buzzing back to full volume. He had broken a leg, so he had to lean against the wall, and let the people come to him. He killed 14 out of the 15 12th graders, when the last one punched him in the face. Being up against the wall, Gregor's head flew back, and he crushed his skull on the concrete. Dropping to the floor, his last thought was, I'll miss you Luxa.
