Chapter 10: To be known by one is to be hated by another...
Rhydian's POV:
I awoke to strong arms shaking me and muffled shouting, but soon that shouting became clear.
''Wake up Rhyds! We have an attack on a school!'' Norman shouted.
I shot up in bed and leapt out.
''What school?'' I asked Norman as I got dressed
''Hm, Bradlington High apparently. Some guys filled it with gas for some reason.'' Norman replied, shrugging
I looked towards the clock to see it was 1:30 PM, damn did I sleep that long? But then again yesterday was tiring, the heist on the corrupted bank and then blowing it up. Jeez!
We both rushed out to see the rest of the squad preparing weapons and other equiptment. Ben threw me a assault rifle. I loaded it, after being taught how to use them. I gathered my equiptment and we headed for the helicopter. We were going to drop in from the sky.
Matt handed me a parachute and I put it on. I was pretty nervous about dropping from the sky, but I was ready to defend my school, and Maddy...
Lots of thoughts went through my mind at that moment. What did she think of me leaving her? Was she ok? Was she in danger?
I was pulled out of my thoughts by Mark tapping me on the shoulder. Matt opened the door and we met a massive gust of air, I was almost knocked off balance. I looked over the edge.
Bradlington high was there, vehicles parked in the yard told me that there was enemys in the building. Norman passed me a gas mask and I put it on before getting ready to drop.
''Let's do this guys!'' Mark said before dropping. We all dropped there and then. I felt a big impact of wind on my body was a flew down to the school.
''Eject in 5!'' Norman shouted to us. 5 seconds later we had our parachutes open and we hit the ground softly as possible.
We got out our guns and ran to to the school entrance. No enemies in the yard... So far...
I kicked open the door and made a hand signal to move in. I followed in and looked up and down. A voice came through the radio.
''Rhydian, your objective is to find your friends, bring them to HQ. Sweeney out.'' The voice over the radio commanded.
''I'm going after the V.I.P'S You get as many people out of the building as possible!'' I ordered the squad before running off.
I ran through the corridor to mine and Maddy's form room. I kicked open the door to only find Mr Jefferies in there. I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him out.
''W-Who...are y-ou?'' he splutered, coughing from the gas in the air.
I dragged him outside where some of the students were. I rushed back inside and searched class rooms for Maddy and my human friends. I suddenly thought of where they could be. The dark room!
I rushed to the dark room and tried to open the door, it was locked. Damn! I smashed the butt of my weapon into the wood and it broke. I grabbed the key on the inside and turned it. I heard slight yelping and I kicked open the door to find Tom and Shannon, huddled together in a corner. I grabbed them both and dragged them outside.
''Where's Maddy?'' I questioned them, hoping them would stop coughing and tell me.
''T-the roof!'' Shannon coughed out.
I ran through the school up stairs, through the window before leaping to the top of the building.
I saw her. On the floor, with men with guns surrounding her...
I wanted so badly to run in and kill them all but I couldn't... I had to be cunning!
Obviously my gun was a tranqiuliser, so I could just knock them all out but then again, they had live ammo. That could kill me and Maddy.
I crept behind them and looked over, Maddy was breathing I could hear it.
''This is one of em' boys!'' One of the men shouted
''Yeah, but this one isn't the one were looking for!'' Another one exclaimed
''Nah, but still we'll get paid good!'' The other one said
''Kincaid offered us good money to bring the legendary wolfblood to him! This one is worthless to us!'' Another man said.
I had heard enough, Kincaid, head of science and research had betrayed me and all wolfbloods. I would make him pay!
I leapt at one of the men and pinned him down before shooting another one who came charging at me. Another man came charging at me weith a knife, I grabbed his arm and ripped his gas mask off. He fell to the floor struggling to breathe.
I suddenly remembered that Maddy was here, I grabbed her limp body and put her over my shoulder before jumping off the school building. I landed hard but didn't feel any type of pain like I used to when landing like that. One of my new powers I guess...
I ran through the nearby forest untill I got to the river. I bet these men weren't wolfblood but it's better to lose our scent then nothing.
I throw Maddy into the river bring her back up. Her coughing and fluttering because of the sudden contact of brisk water on her skin.
''W-ah?'' She choked out, I smiled and touched her cheek before lifting her out of the water. I was still wearing my gas mask, I wanted to take it off so badly, but I couldn't be known.
''W-ho are you?'' She asked, crawling backwards away from me.
''Someone like you...'' I said as I stood up. Before she could ask any questions however I ran away. Mission complete I thought to myself...
Now another mission was beginning...
