Chapter 2 Troubled Mind.
For those of you who play the Devil May Cry series, Hunter looks like Dante from it. Don't own either.

The Lyoko gang entered the courtyard and moved to one of the many benches. They spotted a group of girls crowded around the new kid, Hunter.
"What are they doing?" asked Ulrich. "Their trying to get him to talk." said one boy by their side. "Well, that's clearly impossible," butted in Sissi, "He's as talkative as a rock, and he didn't speak a word to me." she finished.
Odd grinned. "Well, who'd want to!" he yelled and everyone burst out laughing as an angry Sissi walked away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As Hunter sat beneath the tree, the girls sitting beside him were trying to make him talk. "Come on Hunter, talk to us." said Emily sweetly.
"Maybe he doesn't speak English." whispered Naomi. "Maybe he doesn't speak at all." questioned Claire. "Or maybe, he's the strong silent type." said Heidi touching his muscular arm.
Hunter just tried his best to ignore the girls, but that was near to impossible. He looked at Naomi and Emily, the ones who were watching him most intensly.
He felt like they wanted something from him, but he didn't feel like talking to them yet. He looked up and saw two girls coming toward them. Hunter froze. One girl was strangely familiar to him. She had raven hair and soft skin. Hunter's stare softened as he inspected the girl.
She had rosy lips and cheeks, from the cold he guessed. She had brown orbs of beautiful eyes. The other girl had radiant pink hair and smooth skin as well.
"Hey, Yumi and Aelita, see if you can get Hunter to talk to us." implored Emily as she clutched Hunter's hand. He narrowed his eyes at her, but she didn't seem to notice.
"Hello Hunter." said the raven haired one, Yumi, as she sat down. Hunter felt something tug at his throat. "Hi..." he said quietly in his mildly deep voice.
The other girls around him giggled because they must have thought he sounded as cute as he looked. He realized that he was also blushing, a thing humans do when their either embarrased or nervous.
Hunter didn't know which one he was. "So, where'd you come from?" asked Yumi as soft as she looked. "Uh...Antarctica." Hunter replied.
Emily smiled at him and he smiled back. "Do you speak any other language?" Naomi asked curiously. "Yeah, all of them." Hunter said. Now there were murmurs of 'ooohs' and 'ahhhs'.
"Well, looks like you have it all under control." said Yumi as she and Aelita went to leave. "Wait." Hunter commanded as he got up. Yumi and Aelita stopped.
Hunter felt himself blush again, but ignored it. "Uh...whats your names again?" he asked politely. "I'm Yumi, and she's Aelita." said the Japanese girl.
Hunter nodded and mumbled a quick 'thanks.' before running off somewhere.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yumi and Aelita walked back to their little gang. "So, you get him to talk?' asked Jeremy. "Yes, we did." said Aelita kindly.
"He seems nice." said Yumi as she watched him go to his dorm. Ulrich noticed something in Yumi's stare, but it was gone in a second, Ulrich thought he had just imagined it.
But, he knew he didn't. That look in her eyes was...a longing.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunter sat at his laptop, a gift from a scientist, and contacted the General. He put his earpeice on. "General Bradshaw." he spoke into the mouthpeice.
The General's face appeared on the screen. "Yes Hunter, report." demanded the General. "I'm about to infiltrate the Russian Embassy. I need my gun." Hunter said, putting on his most powerful glare.
The General sighed and pressed some buttons. Hunter's room consisted of everything a teenager wouldn't have. First of all, their were posters of the Embassy, more like a map.
And in the corner near the closet, their was a capsule but it didn't stand upright, it laid on the floor, and it wasn't that big.
The capsule opened and the same fog engulfed the room quickly. Hunter walked over to it and pulled out a machine gun with a strap and put that around his neck.
He grabbed the Magnum from the other side and admired it. It was silver and really shiny. "Shiny..." Hunter said stupidly. He put that in his holster and brought out a one foot knife.
"Nice, the great knife." he muttered to himself as he placed that inside his pocket. He walked back to the computer and typed in some codes. It printed out the map of the French Embassy.
He grabbed it up and folded it. He stuffed it into his pocket and snuck out of his dorm window. It looked about midnight. Hunter looked around the parking lot and spotted something he immediantly took a liking to.
A motorcycle.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunter rode across the vast roads, roaring engine blasting and he was loving it. The street lights and headlights of the many cars around him were just a huge blur.
He pushed a button and suddenly, music blasted into the night sky. He grinned and howled into the full moon as he rode and listened to the radio.
Somewhere
beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates
my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And you're
the master
And I am waiting for disaster.
Hunter slowed the motorcycle down and peered over his blue tinted see-through glasses. He quickly turned off the bike and dove into the bushes as the searchlight drove towards him.
Hunter breathed deeply and rushed towards the Embassy door. A security guard blocked it. Hunter walked towards the door, but was stopped as the security guard place a hand on his shoulder.
"And where are you going?" asked the guard rudely. Hunter looked at him with an eyebrow raised. He back up. "Oh, just needed to see something." he said patiently.
"No one goes in, beat it punk!" shouted the guard while pushing Hunter forward. Hunter then grabbed the guard's wrist and wrenched his arm, breaking his wrist. Before the guard could scream in pain, Hunter did a spinning kick to his head, breaking his neck. Hunter then quietly walked through the front door.
I feel
irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting
away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But
the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting
away, Getting away)
He brought out his Magnum and started shooting the secretaries, and the excecutives. The security guards were called and arrived with their pistols out. "Drop the gun, kid!" yelled one of them.
Hunter turned toward them and lifted his arm above his head. He let go of the gun. The gun drifted in slow motion towards the floor. He suddenly hit the ground, grabbing the gun right before it hit the ground, and shot every single guard. He got up and wiped some blood off his face.
Hunter then noticed a security camera. He smiled into it and shot it as well.
Hunter then continued blasting through, door after door. He stopped and hid against a wall as he spotted one last security guard before he reached the Embassador.
The guard was heavily armed and on alert.
I drink my drink and
I don't even want to
I think my thoughts when I don't even need
to
I never look back cause I don't even want to
And I don't
need to
Because I'm getting away with murder
I feel
irrational
So confrontational
To tell the truth I am
Getting
away with murder
It isn't possible
To never tell the truth
But
the reality is I'm getting away with murder
(Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away, Getting away with murder)
Somewhere
beyond happiness and sadness
I need to calculate
What creates
my own madness
And I'm addicted to your punishment
And I'm the
master
And I am craving this disaster.
He pulled out from behind the wall and shot the guard right through the head before he could even react. Hunter looked down at his second to last victim. He looked Japanese, like Yumi.
Hunter shook it off and entered the Embassador's office. "Hello, Mr. Embassador." he said coldly. The Embassador jumped a little in his chair, as he saw Hunter pointed the blood drenched Magnum at him.
"What...what do you want?" the official asked, voice trembling. Hunter smiled. "I want to know the name of the man I'm about to kill." he said colder still.
"My...my name is...David Tremie." stuttered the Embassador. "Well, David, look's like your reign of rule is over." Hunter said while looking at him maliciously.
"Wait, wait! I can give you money, women, anything!" yelled David as he sobbed. "Despicable." Hunter muttered and shot Mr. Tremie through his skull.

Hunter
walked out of the Embassy and back to his bike. He listened to the
end of that song and laughed a cruel laugh as he drove back to
school.

Yumi woke up the next morning and walked downstairs. Her mother was sobbing and Yumi stopped dead in her tracks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hunter laughed to himself the next morning as he washed the blood off his face and clothes. He took a shower and got dressed in the same clothes.
He walked towards the cafeteria and met Yumi on his way. She was sitting on a bench and sobbing quietly. He walked up to her and kneeled down in front of her. "Yumi?" his strong voice questioned.
Without thinking, Yumi threw her arms around Hunter's neck and began to cry into his shoulder silently. 'Okay...wasn't expecting that...' he thought to himself.
But, soon, he found himself comforting her. "Shhh...it's alright...what's wrong?" he asked as he rubbed her back in circles. "My...my...father...was...murdered." she managed to choke out through sobs.
Hunter froze but quickly recovered. "By who?' he asked gently. "They...don't...know..." Yumi choked out as her crying subsided, but she held onto Hunter even tighter.
"Come on, lets go find your friends." said Hunter as he helped her up. But Yumi didn't let go of his neck, so he just carried her, bridal style.
Which, to Hunter's confusion, earned several stares and murmurs. He ignored them and walked towards the dorms. He found one of the boys Yumi had been talking to. He had glasses and blonde hair.
"Hey, you." Hunter said commmandingly. He scared the boy a little. "What? Yumi?" said the startled boy as Hunter set Yumi down. Yumi began crying into Hunter's shoulder again.
"Oh, Yumi, what's wrong?" asked the blonde haired boy. "Jeremy...my...dad...died..." Yumi managed. The boy, Jeremy, seemed to have a sad look on his face. 'Sad...This man must have really meant something to her...and I killed him...' As Yumi continued to cry into Hunter's shoulder, a brown haired boy and another blonde boy came running towards them.
"What happened?'' asked Ulrich as he glared at Hunter. Hunter recognized the look Ulrich had. It was one of pure hate. Yumi unlatched from Hunter and clung around Ulrich. Jeremy told them the news and Aelita as she walked up. Hunter thought her friends seemed to have it all under control, so he began to walk away.
"Hey, Hunter, wait." demanded one of the boys, Hunter didn't know. He turned around. "What?" he asked.
The boy who had spoke before, spoke again. "Hey, I'm Odd, I see you've met Yumi and Aelita. This is Ulrich and Jeremy." said Odd as Hunter shook hands with all of them.
Ulrich seemed to have tightened his grasp on Hunters hand before he let go. "Nice to meet you." Hunter said darkly before he left. He walked around, thinking something.
His earpeice started to give out static. "Hello, anyone there?" he asked into the instrument. It gave out more static before going silent. "Huh...that was weird." he said to himself as he walked away.
Little did Hunter know, something was watching him from the shadows...
