Ch. 7- Danger
Aidan and I were at school.
"X= -86." I whispered to him.
"Thanks." he returned.
All of the sudden, a bullet shattered a window.
I covered Aidan and pushed him further into the classroom.
The glass cut my back severely.
"Juliette, you're bleeding." Aidan removed his hand from my back and stared at the dense red liquid dripping from it.
"Shh. You'll scare people. I will heal." I told him. "You need to make sure Paige is alright. If any of you get hurt, I'll never forgive myself."
Aidan nodded.
"Good. Time to kick some ass." I say. The blood oozing from my back disappeared.
"What's happening?" Emma asked.
"Lock down, lock down. This is not a drill. The school is under attack by Techna and her Brainiac Minions, and they're armed. Stay hidden in your classrooms and lock your doors. Teachers, keep the students safe." The speaker announced.
"I got to go." I jumped out the window and transformed, unheeded by anyone.
I came face-to-face with an old foe and her gang.
"J." she says.
"Techna." I returned. "What do you want now?"
"Same thing I always wanted; you dead." Techna cackled. I examine her gear and men.
"Hmm… Same four cyborgs, same silver bullet guns, ooh, the dark magic dagger you made from my blood mixed with toxic, nice touch by the way, and how could I forget, your signature 'Techna Taser'." I say sarcastically.
"Look at you. Same old bratty, smart ass bitch; J the Superfairy." Techna retorted.
"What's your plan? Big bad Techna and her Brainless Minions are gonna kill J with her techno gadget and gismos? I don't think so." I said.
"No, no. I won't kill you. I'm gonna kill your opposite identity when you least expect it." Techna replied. "Just as soon as I figure it out."
"You won't. You won't kill me or anyone. You haven't got a clue!" I yelled, slightly worried.
"I know that you attend this school." Techna stated. "And I know you have friends who know your secret. Mark my words no one is safe! No you, your peers, professors, loved ones, no one. They all-" Techna cut herself off when she saw Aidan watching from the shattered window.
"You!" she said and her men carried him to her. The other students and teacher watched.
"Put me down! Please!" Aidan entreated.
"Give me the boy." Ordered Techna. Aidan was held in front of her.
"Return him, now!" I shouted in a threatening tone. Aidan looked at me as if he were saying goodbye, and Techna noticed it.
"He knows." She said and held the dark magic dagger to his chest. He gasped, tears forming in his eyes.
"Aidan!" I shouted, tears already falling.
"Tell me who J is, or you die!" Techna used her nails to scratch Aidan's cheek. It drew blood.
"Never." Aidan refused.
"Do you value your life so little that you'd rather die than tell a secret?" Techna asked.
"I value loyalty, and bravery, and J. I will not betray her." Aidan said. The dagger poked his chest, ready to brake skin.
"Don't do this!" I pleaded.
"Don't interfere!" Techna returned. She turned back to Aidan and smiled.
"One last chance, boy." Techna says.
"And one last no." Aidan replied.
"Fine, have it your way…" Techna lowered the dagger, turning away from him and started walking. She quickly turned back around and the dagger went right through Aidan's chest.
"No!" I cried.
"Oops, it slipped." She chuckled.
"Sayonara." Techna left with her men.
Aidan gasped and dropped, but I caught him before his head hit the concrete.
"J?" he asked weakly.
"Yeah. Yeah, it's me. I'm here." I say and held his hand to my cheek.
I looked at the wound. What used to by velvet red blood was turning black due to the dark magic, poisoning his body; he will die within minutes.
"I'm so sorry. I-I can heal you." I said through sobs. He shook his head.
"You can't. Y-You heard your boss. You don't have the power to." Aidan said.
"But I can't watch you die." I say.
"Juliette, the last few days have been magical, literally. I learned how to fly, I watched the sunset from on top of a cloud, and got rubbed." He said. I cried harder.
"I'm terrible at goodbyes. You can't leave me!" I sobbed. Tears streamed down his face.
"Shh." He said and wiped away my tears. "I kept your secret; I will die a hero. I need you to tell my parents, and my sister and Pahe and, Emma, and Ella, and Linday that I love them."
"I know now's not a great time to complain, but I think you're forgetting somebody!" I thought and held a hurt smile.
"And I love you, juju." He smiled. I rubbed his head which laid in my lap.
"I love you too." I returned.
"Stay strong…" Aidan told me as he couldn't hold up his arm anymore.
He was starring right at me but I knew he couldn't see. Aidan had his last breath. He was gone.
"Noo!" I sobbed. "Please, pease come back! Please, no!"
I looked at his eyes, full of life even though he was no longer living. I hesitated to close his eyes. I knew that this will be the last time I'd see his pretty blue eyes. I'll never hear his laugh, or see him smile. He'll never grow and live his life.
"May you find your place in heaven, my friend." I whisper and closed his eyes. I placed a kiss to his forehead and held his still warm body closed to mine as I wept, wishing for him to awaken.
Did I make anyone cry? Hold tight for one last chapter... 😆
