Danger
The two walked down the hall, a flight of stairs, and through the main halls. They talked of their grades before school had got out. But as they were about to turn into another hallway leading outside to the courtyard, a student raced into Nathan. Yet as he did, the other boy whispered something into his ear fast.
"She's out to get you!" in a panicky voice and the boy disappeared down the main hallway.
"What was his problem!" Aelita said angrily.
"Something's going to go down!" Nathan shuttered at the words escaping his mouth.
Aelita could see him shaking, he looked nervous and excited for some reason. It got her worried.
"I'm confused, what's going to happen!" his nervousness seeped into her as they stopped in front of the door leading to the courtyard.
Another student, a group actually, walked by them.
"Look out!"
"She's somewhere!"
Nathan looked around panicking as the group went into a classroom.
He grabbed her hand as they walked through the doors, the courtyard was empty. Excuse the cloudy sky, the wind blowing the lose leaves on the ground. The two looked around anticipating the worst but nothing came.
"Stay by me and whatever happens run got that!" he told her in a serious tone.
"Nathan what's going on I'm scared!" she started to weep and shake.
They walked fast through the courtyard, their eyes ever alert and scanning the area. Nathan had his left arm around her so that he could swing around and guard her from any attacks. But what came next was more then a complete surprise.
A gunshot echoed in the air and missed the two by inches. They ran behind a huge oak tree, Nathan taking peaks around it to see their attackers.
"Didn't I tell you I'd get her you fucking piss ant!" this girl with the gun shouted.
"It's Kathleen, stay down she's after you!" he pushed her behind him.
"I'm coming to get you." The gunner teased walking with the weapon poised.
"We'll make a break for the cafeteria, there should be a cop there or at least a crowd as witnesses. On my count we run for it or die here." He ordered Aelita.
She waited for his hand to get to one, and then they ran. The gunner fired at them sporadically while running to stop them. She succeeded in closing their escape.
"You can't get away from me." She stared at them with a mad look.
Nathan got in front of Aelita and used his body as a shield. The girl fired again and this time the bullet hit home, his head jerked back and he fell backwards. Aelita looked in fear and shock as his blood sprayed on her face slightly and he on the ground with a gash in his forehead.
"Now you have no one to save you now." The pistol wielding girl said with an evil grin.
Just as the next bullet popped into the chamber, she pulled the trigger. But nothing happened, Kathleen continued to try and fire but no shots fired again.
"Dawm gun!" she spit and threw it aside.
The two girls proceeded to a fight, but Aelita was scared. What will happened to her if this girl gets her murderous hands on her?
