I couldn't sleep. I just couldn't, I tried to force my being to but my brain was working a mile a minute. I was cascaded in total darkness and the fact that there was a storm outside didn't help my fear factor. Typical, just bloody typical. Lightning streaked and lit up the sky with a white pearl flash, then came the clap of thunder. The rain came pouring down in large quantities then it stopped abruptly, then it started up again but this time with less pounding on the windows.
Every time I heard scratching noises I thought it was Scales but it would end up being a mutant downstairs pawing at the wooden floor due to boredom. I sighed and tried to get some sleep, I thought about Pyro and practiced my manipulation skills with the glass of water beside me. Just when my eyelids started to get heavy, that was when I heard scratches, except this time they were audible, they weren't faint. I spread my subconscious and found out that it was definitely Scales who was, of course, scaling the walls of the school. I could hear him slip due to the wetness but he had managed to get himself up and continue on. I climbed out of bed and then hid in the corner, blending in with the darkness. I waited for Scales to come closer to the window to attack him, if I had done it earlier, he would have known I was awake and on guard.
A sudden shadow appeared and grew on the floor as Scales came closer. In the shadow I couldn't really make out any features except for Scales's spiky hair and something behind him flicking back and forth. A tail, he had a damn tail. I cursed silently and waited. I could hear a sizzling from the window and I knew from the smell that it was his poisonous spit eating through the glass. I watched as he slithered into the room like a snake but with limbs. I could hear him take a few sniffs and then red slitted eyes suddenly turned my way. I commanded all the lights to come on and Scales hissed and shielded his eyes from the sudden flash of lights.
I could finally make out his features. Black spiky hair, serpent like eyes, gnarled claws on hands and feet and his body resembled somewhat of a dragon. A long sleek white dragon in human clothing he had scaly skin and a mouthful of fangs that snapped at me. Scales lunged and I jumped out of the way in time and turned to see him crash into the wall. He hissed viciously and spat a large wad of poison my way. I grabbed my iPod off the table and then dodged as he lashed his spiky tail at me. I turned on a tune and then turned it up all the way it could. Faint staccato acoustic notes went through the room and Scales spat another wad of poison at me. I then magnified the radiowaves from my iPod and then prepared for an earful of hurt.
It first affected Scales who went absolutely berserk, he held his hands over his ears and his tail flicked in every direction possible and it almost looked like it was having it's own personal seizure. I couldn't hear the windows break but I turned off the radiowaves and then the iPod. I watched as Scales tried to compose himself together but having a hard time as his senses were still scrambled.
I raised my hand and the water from the glass rose and split into two long thin tendrils. Scales snapped his fangs at them but the water tendrils wrapped themselves around his body and I commanded the particles to solidify. I stepped back to see Scales withering on the floor in ice bonds. He glared up at me with his red eyes and hissed.
"What did the Flight create?" I asked.
Scales only hissed at me and continued to struggle against the ice bonds. I could see cracks starting to form. I hoped that someone heard the windows break or at least the magnified music. I was about to ask again when Scales finally broke through his bonds and attacked me directly. I was too slow to react and he knocked me down. I repeatedly punched him to get him off but his scaly skin acted like a shield so my punches had absolutely no effect on his body. Scales took out a syringe from his back pocket and tried to hold me still. His tail was wrapped tightly around my legs so I couldn't kick him in the head and his clawed hand trapped my right hand on the ground. I tried to punch with my left but he dodged. I was ready to manipulate the air around us when a sudden column of flame scorched Scales and he was off me in less than a second. I could hear his shrieked hissed and he spat a wad of poison and the fire stopped. I looked over to see Pyro standing in the doorway with Bobby beside him. I tried to get up but Scales had pounced on me quickly and his clawed hand dug into my chest.
"Get off her!"
Scales looked to see an ice covered hand come and smack him right in the face. That did it. Scales shook his head and spat at Bobby who dodged and then sent thin razor sharp sheets of ice at Scales. I could see Scales used his tail and tripped Bobby who was trying to get up but Scales picked him up by his feet, swung him and sent him flying right threw the wall. Pyro kept shooting fireballs at Scales who dodged and snaked his body easily around Pyro's attacks. Scales opened his mouth an let a steady stream of poison gush from his mouth at Pyro. I got to my feet and did the only thing I could. I jumped onto Scales' back and started to choke him. I could hear the poison clog up in Scales's throat and his tail grazed my shoulder but I still held on with both my arms around his neck. Scales tried to shake my off by clawing but I held fast. Pyro looked ready to shoot but I knew he was hesitant because I was still on.
"Shoot!" I remembered myself shouting at Pyro
"Get off!" Pyro commanded, it was more like a plea than anything though but we both knew that if I let go of Scales, he would immediately attack Pyro.
Pyro sent a fireball, which hit Scales directly and both Scales and I were shot backwards into the wall. I was the first up and raced towards Pyro but Scales grabbed my ankle and pulled me backwards. I kicked him in the face and then felt something sharp poke through my skin. I tried to attack Scales but I felt something being pushed through my body and I suddenly felt dizzy and woozy. I tried to maintain focus but I couldn't. I could make out Pyro running up to me but Scales catching him in the stomach with his tail and Pyro was shot into the wall.
"NO!"
Scales turned to me and then started to come at me. I raised my hand hoping for something to happen but nothing did and I felt like I was going to be sick. Scales lashed his tail out at me but I dodged and tried to attack but Scales slammed his tail into my chest. I sailed through the air until my head connected with the wall and that was when I felt like dying. An immense pain rushed through my whole body and I could feel myself being picked up. I tried to struggled but I could feel the spikes on Scale's tail dig into me.
I felt the feeling like I was flying when I realized that Scales was kidnapping me. I dug my feet into the ground but as we went over the acid covered window, poison and glass dug into my heels and pain rushed through my legs. I tried to escape but I could feel my energy slip away and finally I passed out.
