Man, those chicks are idiots! Freddy thought as he walked towards the school, What the hell is a brain like Amy doing hanging around the- What the hell? Freddy's thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a voice he hadn't heard in years.
"Freddy!" the voice called, the tone of it showing that it's owner was not at all pleased to see him.
Freddy turned around to face the speaker and was met by a kick to the face that made him fly ten feet back, his body slamming into a tree.
Holy shit! he thought with a groan as he tried to stand to his feet, It can't be.
"Get off your ass," the voice ordered as footsteps appraoched him.
Still sitting against the tree, Freddy saw a pair of black shoes stop five feet in front of him.
"It can't be," he muttered as he tried to shake off the pain he felt throughout his entire body. Suddenly, a hand reached towards his throat and lifting him off the ground, slammed his body once more against the tree, pinning him there. "Fuck, you've changed," he groaned as he struggled to free himself.
"Like that's a surprise," Lita muttered with a smirk.
"What the hell do you want?" Freddy demanded, a little scared. This was not the Lita he had known three years ago; this Lita was intimidating, frightening even.
"Leave Amy alone," Lita ordered him.
"Amy Mizuno?"
Lita nodded. "Find another tutor and leave Amy alone."
Freddy smiled and tried to shake his head, but found that Lita's hold on his neck prevented him from doing so.
"I'd say that decision is up to Amy, wouldn't you?" he asked her, still smiling.
Lita's grip on his throat tightened and Freddy struggled to breathe, let alone speak. "I'm warning you, Freddy," Lita threatened through clenched teeth, "Find someone else." With those final words, Lita let go of Freddy's throat and let him drop to the ground, leaving him struggling for breath.
"You're not the one who should be making threats, Lita!" Freddy called after her, once she was fifteen feet away. "Not if you don't want anyone to find out about your little secret."
Lita froze, her face going pale.
Freddy grinned, knowing he had gotten to her.
"You wouldn't," Lita said, knowing very well that he would.
"Try me," Freddy said, looking at her maliciously.
Lita paled even more and he knew he had won.
"I wouldn't go making any more threats if I were you," Freddy warned her.
Lita clenched her fists in anger and walked away from him.
Freddy was still watching her walk away when he suddenly noticed a familiar blue-haired beauty walking towards Lita. Freddy frowned, hoping that Lita was smart enough to keep her trap shut about their past.
It wouldn't be right for a Sailor Scout to commit murder, Lita tried to convince herself, knowing that that was exactly what she wanted to do to Freddy right then. It wouldn't be rig-
"Hey, Lita!" Amy called as she approached her tall friend.
"Hey, Ames!" Lita called back, "What's up?"
"Why'd you walk away earlier when Freddy and I were walking towards you guys?"
"I had something to do," Lita lied.
"You okay?" Amy asked her, sensing that something was wrong with her.
"I'm fine," Lita replied angrily.
"You don't sound fine," Amy told her.
"Look, I'm just feeling a little off today," Lita said a partial truth.
"You're sure that's all it is?" Amy asked, concerned.
Lita nodded, hating herself for lying. "I'm sure," she said, then, "Raye's school has their Fridays' off right?"
Amy nodded at her friend, not understanding what that question had to do with the topic they had been discussing. "Yeah," Amy replied, "Why?"
Lita shrugged. "No reason," she said. "Gotta book it, Ames. Be careful around Freddy."
With those as her last words, Ltia took off at a run towards the bus stop, leaving Amy standing there, confused. What had Lita meant by "be careful around Freddy"?
