The Redemption Chronicles
Odi heart hated bullies, and he couldn't think of a way to escape his current problem. His eyes scanned around for something to use or escape with but a shadow crossed his vision.
"Hey dorkface" Andrew yelled, his cronies sniggered stupidly at the insult, jack didnt reply, slowly stepping back trying to buy time for his escape. His eyes fell on a shadow and he was torn, he hated to travel this way; it made him queasy and weak like he had a fever. Andrew and his goons moved closer and closer, closing the gap between them .All of a sudden, he felt a familiar tingle in his arms and the urge to pull the shadows around him. As Andrew raised his fist to punch Jack, jack grasped the shadows like a lifeline and curled them around him. For a second he was weightless, feeling like a bird and then a sense of being pulled through a plughole, Colours swirling, he was pushed back into day and found he was behind Andrew. Andrew looked round quickly, not seeing Odi on the floor creeping towards him .Not wasting a second he knelt down and tied Andrew's shoes and goons together and tapped Andrew on his beefy shoulder, "what do you want, you runt" "come here so i can punch your little lights out". Andrew went to step forward but ended up face planting the concrete floor. Goon 1. and Goon 2 went to intercept Odi, but ended up with the same fate as there leader, the goons looked round dumbly, but Odi was already a small speck running away.
Odi was hiding in the toilets when the bell rang, Odi sighed in relief, and He could finally go to the safety of the classroom until the end of the day. Walking out of the toilets he bumped into his friend Alex Wright and Jodie Slater
"Where you been?" Jodie began but Alex Wright cut over her,
"I saw what you did to Andrew and his goons, dude. Pure awesomeness, how did you do it?" Before Odi took in the appearances of his friends, all currently living in St. Johns Children Orphanage, they struck up a friendship. They were the weirdest group of friends in history, thought. Alex was tall, athletic thirteen years old who was quite good looking and would have been popular with girls if he didn't hang around them. He had short curly blonde hair and piercing grey eyes .he wore a tattered hand me down of the school uniform. His face seemed to be always in a cheeky grin but his eyes scanned you, looking for weaknesses. Jodie was his opposite, straight black hair, pale white skin and startling Green eyes. She was pretty but played it down but made her look even better. She was athletic like the rest of the crew. She wore the same tattered school uniform as Odi and Alex but went out of her way to turn it black. Simply put she was a Goth whose bag was littered Shiny badges of bands Odi had never even heard off. He whispered to them "I'll tell you later" silencing the questions already forming on Alex's and Jodie's mouths.
He pushed past them and made his way to sit at his desk, getting ready for an hour of idleness. Half-way through the lesson, he thought he saw a shape on the building opposites roof; he dismissed the idea out of his head by trying to listen to Miss Morgan, his favourite teacher. She was talking about History and they had reached his favourite part of the Curriculum: Greek and Roman Mythology, Miss Morgan had just started talking about King Midas when Odi started noticing a strange musky smell, that reminded him off trips to the reptile part of the zoo, Snakes and Lizards, as soon as he had the thought, it seemed like Gigantic python suddenly appeared. Noisily, the class burst into screams and shouts, girls running to stand on the tables and boys shuffling warily to the edge of the classroom; rearing its head it slithered its way to Odi and went to wrapping and constricting his legs together. A Alex and Jodie stood paralysed by fear of the gigantic snake. Now that it was up close, Odi couldn't help but admire its size and the concealed strength
Alex was the first to unfreeze and try to find a way to release his best friend and then Jodie followed his idea of getting a fire extinguisher and whacking the python on its head in the snake's muscles as it crushed his legs. repeatedly. Without warning a cloaked figure burst down the door and pulled out a three metre long blade of bronze and quickly parried and dodged the snake's lunges. The snake forgetting that it was holding Odi captive slithered towards the figure and went to constrict their legs but the man was quicker and sliced of snakes head with a sickening shlick. The body disintegrated into a small pile of yellow dust and with that the figure sheathed his sword and ran out of the room. The bell rang and school had finished but the students snapped out of their daze and acted as if nothing had happened but Odi, Alex and Jodie were obviously shocked and traumatized by todays speedily walked back to the orphanage,not wanting to encourage another attack.
