Keiko's point of view~
I groan as I wake up. I lift up my head and feel a sharp pain in my chest. That's probably where they shot me with the electricity. I ignore it and try to use the fire part of my alice. Nothing happens and I realize that they must have put an alice barrier around me. I swear under my breath before remembering the knife I had secretly slipped into my pocket. I wriggle my hands and manage to grab it. I slide it back and forth between the ropes, freeing my feet first, then my hands. I take one look at the camera and dash out, breaking the door down to get out. An alarm starts to sound as I rush down the hallway. I test my alice and realize that it works now. About twenty guards appear in front of me, but I easily shake them off by pulling the air out of them with my alice. I rush past them and whisper a sorry as I dash down the rest of the hallway, breaking plenty of things in the process. I run to the front door, realizing too late that this seems too easy. Right after I run out of the door, I realize that I'm right in front of class B's physical education class.
"Keiko!" some of the students yell.
I hear barking behind me and see about 5 rottweilers and 20 alice users trailing me. I look frantically at the class and run away from them; I can't have any of my classmates getting hurt on my account. I turn around and see fire around some of the people following me, and Natsume, Ruka, Hotaru, and Mikan running to me. I see the ESP walking stealthily towards us and realize that it was all a trap. They let me out on purpose to get Mikan to come over, and then they will trap us all.
"Mikan! No! Leave, it's a trap!" I scream at them.
They pause, uncertain whether to fight or flee.
"Natsume, Ruka, get Mikan far away from here! Run!" I tell them quickly.
Natsume drags a screaming and struggling Mikan away quickly like I said, but Ruka stays behind. His face is contorted in emotional pain as I run over to him.
"Go, Ruka! Let me handle him!" I yell at him.
He shakes his head and stays there stubbornly.
"Remember that I've always liked you if I don't get through this." I say, tears blurring my vision.
"No, Keiko..." he starts.
With the most courage I can summon, I grab his shoulders and kiss him full on the lips. He is completely startled and turns red. The tears finally spill out as I encase him in a ball of air and send him flying away. I turn around towards the ESP.
"Please don't do this..." I whisper.
"As if I'd obey someone with the likes of you." he says.
I start to walk towards him with a light smile on my face.
"What the hell do you think you're doing little girl?" he says maliciously.
"Returning a favor for a friend." I reply calmly.
He laughs and says, "Do you really think you can do something for your precious Mikan?"
"Yes" I say and grab the ESP's arm.
"What the-" he tries to start, but I know he will never be able to finish his sentence, because I choose that moment to use the illegal Fiend Fire to engulf us both in enchanted flames.
