Sady could finally see the source of the footsteps. The kid in front has a brown trench coat on, Sady can't make out his appearance because he is wearing a paper bag on his face. But from what she can tell he is just like all the other kids in this world, thin and pale. The person behind him is a girl wearing a charcoal shirt under a gray cardigan. She is also pale and thin, and her black hair bangs completely obscure her eyes.
From the sight of the kid in the back, Sady can tell that there is something to fear with her. She gives off a sense of dread that Sady can't identify. Sady knows that the kids out there only survive through instinct. The kid to survive this long must mean she has the skills necessary, but there is just something off about her.
The one in the front is now almost to the lockers. He has no idea what is about to happen, in a way Sady almost feels sorry for him, but how can she pass up an opportunity like this!
Robert pushes the locker over once the kid is directly under it. The kid looks startled as the locker opens and falls over him. Once he is trapped Robert jumps onto the locker preventing the kid from pushing it over. All Roberts bullies burst out of their hiding spots to ambush the other kid. She tries to fight them off but with no success as they drag her off towards the rope ladder. James is standing on top of cabinets overlooking the lockers, he climbs down with a big smile on his face as he helps the others get the kid up the rope ladder.
The boy doesn't stay trapped for long though, eventually he pushes it enough so he can get free. He charges at the rope ladder as James is the last one up. Robert quickly orders us to pull it up. Sady pulls the rope ladder up with all her might just before the kid could reach it. He stares at us from the ground with a look of determination that sends a chill down Sady's spine.
"Quickly we need to get her somewhere discreet, that way that boy or the Teacher won't find her!" Robert shouts. All Roberts bullies are needed in order to restrain the kid. But even then, she is still making all this difficult. She keeps trying to kick them away, and she even tries to bite Sady.
"Sady, Sarah, help me tie her up!" Robert takes the rope out of his pocket. Sady stands on the kids' right side as Sarah stands on the left. It took every ounce of patience for them to get the kid restrained, but they finally got her tied up. But it did involve Sady getting bit once or twice which was no fun.
"Ok now just keep her restrained and make sure she doesn't run away. I know the perfect place we can take her!" Sady and Sarah both stand next to the kid, as Robert leads half the Bullies up head. The other half walks behind Sady, in order to ensure that if the kid escaped, she couldn't get far.
"You were certainly hard to catch. But that will make it all the more worth it. Now tell me what you are doing in The School in the first place?" The kid just stayed quiet and glared in Sady eyes. Even though her eyes are not visible with the hair in front of her face, it still is enough to send shivers down Sady's spine.
"I don't know whether you were just passing through, are just plain stupid. But you're ours now!" Sadys words don't even seem to get a reaction from the kid. She certainly is a cold one. The kid trips, Sarah laughs and is about to kick her. But with lightning fast reflexes the kid elbow her in the face and headbutts Sady knocking her to the ground. The kid takes off with lighting speed. She is going to pay for that!
Sady stands up and starts to rush after her, but she doesn't even take a step before the other Bullies tackle her. Robert storms back to use looking pissed. He goes over to the kid and kicks her in the stomach.
Sarah is just beginning to get up, Sady notices this and is about to give her a hand. But Robert stomps towards Sarah and holds her to the ground. Sady can hardly believe her eyes as Robert grabs Sarah by her shoulders and slams her head into the wall cracking it.
"What are you doing!" Robert doesn't even look at her as he grabs Sarah by the shoulders again. Sarah is petrified in pure terror; she also looks like she is weak from her head recently being cracked. Sady rushes towards Robert trying to stop him but she is too late. Robert slams Sarah's head into the wall again, breaking it.
The entire room is in silence until Roberts laughs fills the air. He walks over to Sady and places his hand on her shoulder.
"You're lucky she was less useful to me. Don't let her run off again or it will be your head broken. Your arms are already cracked, you don't want your head to be in the same condition. Robert walks ahead, leaving a stunned Sady. Sady walks over to Sarah, looking down at her motionless body.
She was not that bad to Sady unlike James; Sarah actually gave Sady a chance. But the job is almost over. They just need to avoid aggravating Robert, then she can collect her payment and move on. Sady is extra careful with the kid as they lead her down the hallway, until they finally reach the stairs.
Author's Notes:
Sady's job is getting more dangerous than what was first though. Robert has killed Sarah, and now Roberts group is almost at their destination.
PS. Sorry for the long wait for this chapter, I had a little bit of writer's block.
