Title: Falling Through Love?
A/N: I haven't been getting a lot of reviews. Is it that bad? I'll still update, but it's kind of sad that nobody will review. Are you people that lazy? All you have to do, is click the purple/blue botton, and write a review or flame(hopefully not). For this chapter, I will NOT update unless I get five more reviews. So, if you don't review, you can't see any of the LashOC action or more about Victoria and why she hates Carmen. So please, please review, will ya? Also, this chapter might be more serious.
Xtreme Nuisance: Yes, this is sort of following the movie. But I will still change some(or most) of it to fit my story. Thank-you for reviewing though.
Chapter Three: Fearful Falls & Bloody Battles
Right when I entered the cafeteria for a snack, there was mahem everywhere. Walls were smashed, tables were missing and people were crowded around something. Then I noticed a small amount of fire on the ground. I stepped on it multiple times before it finally went out. I then ran toward the crowd.
Peeping over someone's shoulder I could see Will dodge a ball a fire that flew just above his head. Will then charged at someone but I couldn't make out who it was. " This is great", I heard somone say. I turned and saw Lash and Speed laughing hysterically at the fight. Lash turbed toward me, then stopped laughing. I just glared at him, before hearing Layla's voice. I looked at the other side of the crowd to see a very frantic Layla.
I looked right, then left, and took my chance. Dodging a few flames, I charged across the other side , and made it in one piece. Only Magenta seemed to notice me and yelled over all the noise," Will has super strength!"
Wow, I guess I was wrong about him. Super strength is a very common power, but it was still a very powerful power(?). Then, someone grabbed me and pulled me back as an incoming fireball flew past me. I whirled around and saw Lash. He slightly smiled, and shoved his hands in his pocket, acting like this was an awkward meeting. Actually, it probably was. Behind me, the brutal fight between Warren and Will raged on. He was being nice and all, but still...
" You started this didn't you", I asked, eyeing him carefully. Nobody seemed to notice our conversation, which was of course a good thing. Wait, maybe Speed was watching from a far. No-Lash probably told him something like, he was going to cause more chaos. Lash wouldn't let anyone see his nice side, or maybe he would?
" No", he said inocently. I wasn't dumd enough to buy it.
" Why are you so mean", I asked, placing my hands on my hip. Something must have happened in his childhood that he hasn't gotten over, or he's just an arrogant bastard with a soft side. He just shrugged at my question and resumed watching the fight that I doubt would end soon. My eyes narrowed, and I snapped my fingers in front of his face. He turned his attention back at me. Men, they can't seem to focus on anything other than violence and football.
" You could at least-"
" Watch out", he yelled, grabbing me and shoving me to the ground. I turned quickly only to see a huge, and I mean HUGE, ball of fire heading our way. It looked like a meteor. My eyes shut tightly and we fell through the floor. As we were falling helplessly, Lash gripped tighter onto my arm. Both of us could only see dirt, lumps of dead grass, a chain of roots, and I could of sworn I saw a worm. It seemed like an eternity before we hit hard concrete. It was a very painful landing, and as I lay battered on the ground, every part of my body was shaking horribly. My mind was spinning and I thought we were going to fall through the whole school before we were in the sky, and would be plummiting to our deaths. That was what I feared, falling without any control or anything to land on. It would be like falling forever.
I looked up slowly and cautiously, and I could see a single lightbulb hanging limply from the ceiling. It was casting a dim light through the tiny space. I looked down and saw Lash, clutching his stomach and moaning in pain. I pulled myself up, ignoring the naustiating pain, and limped over to him. He also got up and balanced himself from falling over. Like me, his face was bruised and a little bloody. I don't want to use my power for a long, long time.
" I'd rather be hit by fire", he chuckled, But I could tell he was trying to block out the pain.
" Sorry", I said. We both turned away from each other and Looked around the room. It was small with shelves stacked with a variety of items. Most of which were for sidekicks, like nets, cords and other things Magenta told me about.
" It's the storage room", Lash said. I nodded and looked around for an exit. Looking past the many shelves, I finally spotted a pale green door, so I grabbed his hand and yanked him foreward. He looked up and also spotted the door, so I let go of him.
" You know how to get back to the cafeteria", I asked as I opened the door. Behind the door, were stairs that headed up to another door. We must be below the first story, wait, of course we are, the cafeteria was in the first story. He nodded.
We headed up the stairs and I grabbed the doorknob and turned it. Brightness washed over the shadowy darkness as we stepped into one of the school's hallways.
" Actually, you don't need to tell me. I know where we are", I said, blinking a few times. It was hard to ujust to the sudden bright lights and open windows. I turned to him and there was an awkward silence before he said," I'm not going back to the cafeteria. I need to get my books." I nodded, turned back around, and hurried toward the cafeteria.
I didn't look back, because my mind immediately turned toward Will. I really hope he's okay. What if Warren torched him? No, don't think of that, I'll just jinx it. Or, maybe Will beat Warren. There's a high chance of that, since Will did get his powers. Super strength, is what Magenta said. Finally-I figured he would get super-strength. I mean, it's more likely a boy would get his father's powers than his mother's. But, it my case, I got my father's powers.
When I walked through the cafeteria doors, everyone was talking and hanging out like normally, even though it looked like a tornado passed by. I looked for Magenta and finally spotted her. Will wasn't there, and Layla looked worried. I ran up to the table and sat by Layla.
" What happened", I asked. They all looked up. Ethan was about to speak when Zach cut in," Man, Will totally kicked Warren's butt!" I smiled along with the others then asked," Where is he know?"
" In detention with Warren", said Layla. My smile faded and I just got back up.
" I have to go get my books", I said. They nodded and I rushed off, heading out of the cafeteria. Not as much people were in the hallway, probably because of the fight. I reached my locker, and was about to put in my combinaion when I spotted Lash. I was about to say hi when I saw Speed along with two others. To get a better view of the two others, I crouched down and hid behind a trash can. I peeked over it and finally could see all of them. The first, was the girl that talked with all of the freshman when we were heading toward the entrance to Sky High. I think her name was Gwen.
The other girl was black, and was wearing a orange cheerleading outfit. Her brown hair was layed down on her shoulders and her arms were crossed. She looked rather dangerous and so did Gwen, who was smirking as she discussed something with them. Lash and Speed seemed bored as she spoke, but Gwen didn't seem to notice. I was sbout to get closer to hear when I accidently knocked the trash can over by leaning on it. It fell to the ground, trash rolling onto the floor. I grimaced at the smell before phasing through the wall next to me.
I phased into a classroom, but I didn't care. All I wanted was to know more, so I phased my head through the wall again but a few inches away. I phased my head into a locker. I listened through the slits in the locker as Gwen commanded," Penny, go."
So, Penny was her name. Penny, walked by. I listened, but they didn't speak. Finaly, Penny walked by again and toward Gwen.
" Nothing there", said the girl Penny.
" Yes, well. Remember what I told you and don't be hanging around during my speech on Homecoming", I heard Gwen say. Darn, I missed what she was planning. Then, I could hear them walking away. I saw, through the slits, as Lash and Speed walked by. I phased back into the classroom and stood still. What was she planning? And how would Lash and Speed be important in Gwen's planning? My heart sunk. Was Lash truly bad inside? And I thought my kindness was easing his tough exterior.
I waited a few more moments before phasing through the wall and reappering back in the hallway. They were all gone, and there was still no one in the hallway. Weird, but that was a good thing, because now, no one could see how sad I looked. I walked glumly toward my locker. Turning the dial slowly, I put in my combination and opned my locker. I grabbed my text book, Being a Hero, For Dummies and my notebook, then slammed my locker shut.
" Why don't you just cry", said a harsh voice. I spun around, but quickly wished I hadn't, as I was thrown backwards. Quickly, I jumped up and stared at Victoria. She smirked, but didn't attack with her telekinesis again.
" Pathetic Gwen. She doesn't know what it means to be a villian", she said. Villian? What is she talking about? Victoria eyed me carefully, but started laughing mockingly.
" Gwen really thinks her plan is so evil. Stupid...", she said again. Evil plan? Now I'm really lost. Victoria then started marching toward me. I clenched my fists and was prepared for a fight, but she haulted in front of me and glared. She looked at me, up and down, before frowning.
" I honestly don't know how you, of all people, could ever defeat me", she said. Defeat her? Has she gone completely mental? I glared back at her as she smiled wickedly.
" Might as well destroy you, before you screw up my future", she sneered, before using her power and lifting me up in the air. I struggled, which seemed to please her. She then slammed me against a locker, creating a large dent in it. I was on my feet in a instent and charged at her. She smirked and threw me back with her TK(telekinesis). I couldn't just walk up to her, so I went through the floor and reappered behind her. She was expecting this, and turned quickly before I could grab her, and pulled me up as my powers were still in effect. My God, was she that skilled with her powers? At the end of the hall, Magenta turned the corner, but stopped at the sight of me and Victoria. I mouthed to her, run. She stood there, before running away. I wonder if she was going for help? Victoria lifted me up, but this time, she didn't throw me. All she did was watch my agony and suffering. A small amount of blood slid down my mouth. Would she really kill me? Would I interfer with her future that badly?
I could hear rushing feet, as Victoria stopped her powers and dropped me. We both turned our attention toward the corner, as Magenta, Layla, Ethan and Zach came in. Will was probably still in detention. They all gasped at the sight of my battered form. I smiled gratefully, but stopped when Victoria started walking toward them. She lifted her hand, and they were all lifted into the air. I was about to leap at her, when my powers began to act up again. I cryed in pain, as something began spiriling through my body. Victoria threw them all back, and walked toward their pain filled bodies. I glared dangerously, but clutched my stomach as another wave of pain raced through my veins. My powers never hurt before, so why now? Then, I looked down at my body, and my eyes widened in shock.
