The Fight

Aelita and Kathleen where at a standoff, each had the ability to fight one another. Aelita had her training from Ulrich and Kathleen has her past with her.

"Look whatever I did, I'm sorry but I will not hesitate to defend myself!" Aelita said shaking.

"Sorry but when you tread on me I tread on you. Though it is unfortunate that he had to get tighed up in this, after all he was kind of cute." She smiled evilly as they circled.

"The pain you brought to these students will end." Aelita spat.

"Well then bring it bitch!" the other girl shouted.

Kathleen was the first to charge and threw the first punch, but Aelita caught her hand and flipped her over to her back. She got back up quickly and they had another standoff.

"Your lucky you caught me off guard!" she said in her defense.

Again she charged but threw a fake and grabbed Aelita for a change. Holding her two arms she used a free arm and elbowed her then kicked her in the stomach. Aelita stumbled backwards but absorbed the pain.

"You see, I can match anyone and overdo them." Kathleen said huffing air in and out.

She charged once again in hopes to pull off the same maneuver but Aelita fell to the ground and kicked trip her. As the hateful girl fell on the concrete walk path, it gave Aelita enough time to escape inside the school. She ran as fast as her legs carried her and into the girls locker room. She held herself to the door as she sat against it to keep the mad girl away. Unfortunately, Kathleen found her and tried to push the doors open but to no avail. The what surprised Aelita was the fact that she then punched through the small glass window of the door.

The bits and pieces of glass drifted past the pink haired girl and fluttered on the ground. Half an arm stretched with a fist at the end, bloodied up yet strong.

Aelita got up and ran as Kathleen freed her arm and opened the door, running after her. But our resourceful princess threw the benches and debris at the chaser and gained some time. Aelita ran out of the locker rooms and into the main hallways, there was a cop coming towards her direction. With all the commotion they caused it's a wonder they didn't show up sooner. But a smile spread across Aelita's face at the sight of an authority figure, hope lit in her eyes and then searing pain ignited in her head as she was pulled back.

Kathleen had grabbed her shiny pink hair with her bloody fist and at the instant she did, Aelita's head was rammed into the lockers several times. But she closed her eyes to escape her doom, she could feel the pain but when darkness came to sight no feeling could be felt. It was at that time she could see her old friends again and the new friends side by side. Jeremie and Nathan stood in the center looking at her with warm smiles, and she could have sworn she heard them chuckling like as if they had just seen her after some time and no problems had arised.

After the fifth or sixth time Kathleen introduced the girls head to the lockers, the cop had pulled his mace out and sprayed her. The girl let go immediately and fell to the ground screaming but still squirming around as the cop attempted to cuff her. Her weakened fists stopped when the cop had to use his baton. Then she stopped resisting arrest and was thrown aginst the nearest wall away from the fall Aelita.

As Kathleen let her go, Aelita opened her eyes. She had some seconds before she remembered what happened, her head was numb from her bodies endorphins. But as she touched her forehead her fingertips brought back blood and this freaked her out.

She fainted on the floor before the nurse arrived with a med kit and several other cops appeared to assist. When she woke up, she was in the hospital on a clean white bed. The sleepiness went away and the bandages on her head she felt, again she recalled what had happened and being in a hospital meant she's safe. About that moment a nurse came in with a clipboard writing something down.

"Well it's good to see your awake, you wouldn't really be here for those flesh wounds but the school insisted. The doctor's already examined you and all you have is a few lacerations and going to be one heck of a bruise come tomorrow." She said as a group of familiar people followed in after her.

It was Yumi, Ulrich, Odd, and Jeremie bearing gifts and smiles.

"Gu…gu…guys!" she trembled with joy.

"Shhhhhhh….you need your rest don't get up okay." Jeremie and Yumi told her.

"It's really good to see you guys." Aelita sighed with happiness as they put bouquets of flowers on the table next to her.

"Well before I leave, you will feel some exhaustion but that's about it. You can pick up your prescriptions on your way out and you can leave in the morning. Have a nice day." And the nurse left.

"Your one tough cookie eh princess!" Odd cheered her.

"If we'd been here sooner, then you wouldn't be in this condition." Jeremie said sorrowfully looking to the floor.

"Guys I'm okay for now and that's all that matters, I'd like to put that mess behind me." She said laughing as the others did.

"Well Aelita would you like to come back with us so this won't happen again?" Ulrich asked her, since he was the one forced to.

They all looked at her anxiously for the right answer.

"No, I'm going to stay here and complete my education." After she said that, the others looked a little disappointed.

"But what if this happens again, what if she could have used that last bullet! What then, are you going to risk your life for some degrees!" Jeremie broke down and went all out.

"This was just one of those students who had the most horrible past she took upon others. That schools not full of them you know, besides I have a guardian who…." She trailed off and remembering that black haired boy who took a shot to the head.

Her eyes went small, heart rate increased, and her mind filled with questions. She attempted to get up and get to the door while shocking her friends but at the first step off the bed she fell. Ulrich and Jeremie where there to catch her but she squirmed.

"Aelita! What's gotten into you?" Jeremie panicked at her behavior.

"No no no he can't be dead. He can't be!" she shouted but her vision went fuzzy and her head went light.

The boys got her back onto the bed and covered her up with the bed sheet. She wore the tired look and soon fell asleep from her injuries after affect.

"I wonder who she was talking about?" Yumi asked the others who where just as well perplexed.
