Later that day the three kids arrived back at the school with all of the things they had set out to get. At the gates was the professor who did not give them such a warm welcome. He looked all three of them in the eye with a stare that could freeze you to the bone. Turning round he said
'Come inside quickly'
They friends all looked at each other not knowing what they have done wrong. They followed the Professor all the way to his office in silence and still wondering what it was they had done.
'Close the door' the professor said as they all entered. The professor moved towards his desk and looked at them again. 'What on earth do you think the three of you were doing? Going into a shop and using your powers on a human!'
Sophie butted in quickly. 'Actually Professor he was an armed robber who was going to shoot me, what else was I supposed to do?!'
No one said a word; the only sound was the rustling of the bags on the floor. There was something different about the Professor, he didn't seem himself. Sophie was the only one to realise this and somehow knew she had to get away from this person.
'erm… professor were going to have to go and put these things away, we have ice cream and we don't want it to melt' Sophie said shakily.
Adam and Matthew looked at each other and then turned to walk out the room along with Sophie. From behind them the Professor seemed to get up out of his wheelchair, all three looked at him and thought immediately something way defiantly wrong. They ran out of the office dropping all of the shopping bags by their feet. From behind them a fireball was racing towards them and narrowly missed Adams ear.
'That was not the Professor! Something has gone wrong here; we must find everyone and get them out!' Sophie said breathlessly.
'Shall we split up? Inquired Adam
All three of them nodded and went in their separate directions when they reached the end of the corridor.
Adam came to the first room; it was shut. He didn't know what to do, 'what if someone was behind the door waiting for him?' He thought. The door belonged to Kitty the girl who could pass through solid objects. Adam knocked but there was no reply. He plucked up all his courage and opened the door ready for anything that could spring at him. The room seemed empty but there was a lump on the bed which he walked over to just to see what it was. Looking down at the bed everything seemed fine but the lump was moving as though someone were under it. Adam grabbed the top of the sheets and hoped that it was Kitty under the covers then he pulled.
He was relieved that it was Kitty under the covers but she was not so thankful.
'What do you think your doing?!' she shouted 'you don't see me doing this to you when your trying to sleep!'
Adam covered her mouth quickly with his hand and was telling her to be quiet but she just passed right through him.
'Be quiet!' Adam ordered 'There is something in the school and I don't know what it is, we need to gather everyone up and find the Professor'
Kitty seemed rather shocked by this. She hurried over to her wardrobe and threw on whatever cloths she could find and pulled Adam by the arm out through the room, without using a door.
Matthew headed in the opposite direction to Adam, soon finding himself in an office. He looked around cautiously not knowing what to expect. The door behind him shut with a loud bang and a gust of wind blew in from the open window. Matthew didn't know what else to do so he ran and hid behind the desk. Fog entered the room and in the fog was a dark figure; it was walking across the room suddenly stopping. It turned round facing the direction in which Matthew was hiding. Matthew was at this point scared and shaking a lot. The figure approached him but stopped again just before the desk. A hand came racing towards his throat gripping tightly. Matthew tried to remove the hands but it held tight, his breathing became limited. As he was scraping at the hands trying hard to remove them from his throat he noticed there was something odd about them. They were not at all coarse like a mans hand, they were smooth and small much like a woman's. Before he knew it he was being dragged out from under the desk face to face with the intruder. The fog had become very thick so he could only just make out the outline of this person.
'O my god' said a feminine voice. 'What are you still doing here?'
The fog gradually disappeared into thin air producing the figure of Storm standing holding Matthew's throat. She suddenly let go shocked from the fact she was harming a student. Matthew fell to the floor gasping for breath.
'I'm so sorry, I didn't realise it was you. There are intruders in the house and we evacuated everyone, why are you still here?' Storm asked.
'We were sent into town by the professor, we had to get some things for him'
'We?' Storm inquired 'what do you mean me'
'There was me, Sophie and Adam'
Matthew had finally caught his breath back and stood up to face Storm. 'Why did you come back if everyone was evacuated?'
'The professor is missing there is a small group of us who came back to find and stop those who kidnapped the professor.'
Adam nodded agreeing with Storm. 'Shall we get going then?' he said 'you know to find the professor'
'If you're up to it' Storm winked as though this was a game and the pair raced outside the room.
Sophie walked slowly along the corridor, cautiously watching all around her just in case there was someone behind her or around the next door. She accidentally stood on a creaking floorboard and ahead of her she heard a voice.
'What was that?' it said.
Sophie ran into the room closest to her and closed the door silently behind her. Just to be on the safe side to make sure no one came in she heated the door handle so whoever touched it from the other side would get a nasty burn. She let out a little giggle, unfortunately the voices were just outside and they heard her. She could hear the voices talking in a whisper. She heard that they were going to enter the room silently, Sophie was amused by this and backed away from the door keeping the handle hot but also laughing silently.
'Go' a voice whispered on the other side of the door. Suddenly there was a voice screaming and the door was shaking, the persons hand was stuck to the door. Sophie couldn't help herself but laugh out loud. The door was kicked open and Sophie fell silent at the fact there were two men standing in the doorway, one clutching his hand the other looking very angry.
The angry man had veins popping on his forehead. They both entered the room ready for a fight. Sophie was very cleaver so she heated up her body so they could not touch her. The man with the burned hand didn't want to go near her but the angry man had the look of death in his eyes, he wanted to kill her. His body soon became covered in metal; he lifted his fist up bringing it down to strike but Sophie dodged out the way, she dodge all of his following attacks with ease as she was small and agile and he was big and bulky.
A glimpse of two figures ran through the room, it seemed to have been Kitty and Adam. Slowly the two came back into the room peering round from the other side of the wall.
'What the hell!' screamed Kitty. The two men saw her and Adam and tried to smack their faces but their hands just went straight through them. They continued to hit them failing every attempt, Kitty didn't even blink. Storm and Matthew had appeared by the door watching this fiasco. Storm started laughing at the men being rather idiotic that even though they were punching they could not hit either Kitty or Adam. Storm soon grew fed up of watching this and sent a lightning bolt careering through the room hitting the two men sending the flying through the wall. Kitty and Adam were left standing where a wall once was, looking back at the two men groaning at the pain.
Storm stepped into the room stepping over the little bits of rubble laying on the ground.
'Are you guys ok? We thought we evacuated everyone, and you Kitty where were you when we sounded the alarm?!'
Kitty look rather embarrassed and answered slowly 'I thought it was just another drill' She started to go red in the face.
'Don't worry' Storm replied, 'it could happen to anyone; we have them so much I'm not surprised there were more students who decided to stay in bed.' Storm gave her a motherly hug and then looked around the room. 'we really need to get out of here but we need to stay together, if anymore of those men turn up they might be smarter and stronger than these two lugs.'
Kitty piped up from the back 'I have an idea' she stepped into the middle of the group and grabbed Adams hand; 'now everyone join on' everyone grabbed each others hand and ran through the back wall, led by Kitty. The were soon plummeting towards the grass at a high speed. Nothing could stop them and Kitty was looking scared as she did not know what to do. 'I've never done this before!!!' Kitty screamed.
