Romeo walked down the halls heading towards his locker as he prepared to head home. Romeo opened his locker and saw a letter fall out. Romeo opened the letter and saw the following words, "Beth will be attacked today."
Wendy was walking home with Chelia. They talked about various topics until they arrived at Wendy's house. They both went in and headed towards Wendy's room.
"I'm telling you Wendy, I sure he has a crush on me." Chelia told Wendy.
"Ya, he likes you just like the last dozen you were sure that were into you." Wendy sarcastically replied.
"I'm being serious here. I caught him looking at me during class and the way he was staring made me certain that he is into me." Chelia explained.
"Okay okay I believe you. But what should we do?" Wendy asked.
Without hearing a response, Wendy turned and noticed her friend going through her closet.
"What are you doing?" Wendy asked.
"Just looking for something."Chelia answered. "There it is."
Chelia came out of the closet holding a notebook. Seeing the notebook, Wendy leaped forward and snatched the notebook out of Chelia's hands.
"Come on Wendy, let me see your drawings." Chelia pleaded."
"No, I told you I don't like people seeing my drawings." Wendy replied.
"But I've seen all your other drawings." Chelia muttered
"What, I've never shown you all my drawings. How did you see them?" Wendy asked.
"Well… I might have snooped around when I've stayed the night before." Chelia confessed.
"No you didn't." Wendy said denying Chelia's statement.
Chelia simply pulled her phone out and showed Wendy a picture.
"Chelia, give me your phone so I can delete that." Wendy said as she started to chase Chelia.
Chelia ran out of the room and had Wendy chasing her all around the house. After a few minutes of chasing, Chelia finally tripped and Wendy pounced on her. Wendy grabbed the phone but Chelia wouldn't let go.
"Give me the phone Chelia." Wendy ordered.
"No, I want to keep this picture, it was really nice." Chelia complained.
"It's my art so I should decide who gets to have it."
"No, I'm your best friend so I'm pulling out my privilege of taking what I want from you." Chelia argued.
The two continued to pull until they heard a door rattling. The two realized that they were right next to the front door when it opened and revealed Natsu and Lucy. Natsu and Lucy both froze when they saw Wendy on top of Chelia, both of them out of breath.
"Do I need to ask?" Lucy asked.
"Chelia took a picture of something and I want her to delete it." Wendy explained.
"Okay good, so this isn't what I thought." Natsu sighed in relief.
With the distraction, Wendy grabbed the phone and ran towards her room.
"Hey get back here with my phone!" Chelia yelled as she chased after Wendy.
"Are you okay?" Lucy asked Natsu.
"I might need a minute, I thought we were going to have to have a talk with her." Natsu revealed.
"Well you might want to just in case, not that I'm suggesting anything." Lucy suggested. "But… It might happen if you prevent boys from being near her."
"This discussion is finished." Natsu replied as he walked towards the kitchen.
Romeo was walking down a road trying to avoid being seen by Beth. After he read the note he was anonymously given, he decided to follow Beth and make sure she was safe. Romeo was worried since someone wouldn't normally do that as a prank. Romeo followed Beth down a few blocks near the school. Romeo realized that he was in an area near Wendy's noticed Beth get pulled into an alley and decided to rush forward. Romeo reached the alley and noticed three men all dragging Beth further into the alley. Romeo rush forward, jumped and kneed the closed one in the nose. Before the other two had a chance to react, Romeo kicked one in the chest and pulled Beth behind him.
"Head east for a block and you will see a corner store. Go tell the cashier what happened and tell him I sent you." Romeo told Beth.
Without hesitation, Beth ran off leaving Romeo with the three men. The two he attacked here up and looking very angry.
"You just let out catch get away, I hope you know the price if messing with the Black Serpents." The uninjured one tod Romeo.
"Great, it just had to be a gang." Romeo complained as he prepared to fight. Two of the men pulled pocket knives out and the last one stayed in the back.
"And they have weapons, this just gets better and better." Romeo continued to complain.
"I hope you know the price of letting our prey get away."
Romeo prepared himself for the attack as one of the knife welders came at him. Romeo dodged the attacked and managed to catch the attackers arm. Romeo pulled him closer and kneed him in the gut. Romeo pushed him back and just barely got cut by the second knife wielder. Romeo grabbed his right arm as he felt the warm blood flowing from the wound.
"You see that's what happens when you mess with a gang. That's just the beginning of your punishment."
"So what, it's only a cut." Romeo replied confusing the attackers.
Romeo was again attacked by the first knife wielder. Romeo again grabbed his arm but this time used his hand to have to man stab himself. Romeo pulled the knife down leaving a major cut.
The second knife wielder tried to go for another sneak attack but Romeo was prepared. Romeo dodged the attack and proceeded to kick the man in the nuts. As the man crouched in pain, Romeo kicked his head into the wall. As Romeo wiped the sweat off his forehead, a loud bang echoed I the alley and Romeo felt a burning sensation. Romeo looked and saw blood coming from below his right shoulder. Romeo looked up and saw the last man pointing a gun at Romeo.
"I didn't want to do this but you forced my hand." The man told Romeo.
Wendy was in her class and was taking notes on the lesson. Everything was normal besides the fact that Romeo was currently absent. This seemed strange because in the month that Romeo had been enrolled in the school, he wasn't even late once besides the first day, much less absent. Class went on as usual but Wendy had a fear in the back of her mind. She remembered hearing that there was a few gunshots heard in the marketplace near her house but didn't think too much of it. Now that Romeo was absent, she feared that the gunshots and Romeo were related. Even though it was unlikely, she still feared the worst. Everything went on and lunch started. Today Chelia came to Wendy's class and they were eating in there. Everything went fine until Romeo entered the room. Romeo walked in naturally and went to his seat.
"Hey, where he you been, you've missed half the day?" Wendy asked.
"Sorry, I overslept today and when I woke up, I decide to go back to sleep." Romeo revealed.
"Sounds suspicious." Chelia whispered to Wendy.
"There's some suspicious things I've heard about you Chelia." Romeo commented.
"Hey, those are all fake and how did you hear me?" Chelia asked.
"Well you are a pretty bad whisperer." Romeo replied with a smirk on his face.
"Fine, you win this round." Chelia dishearten lyrics accepted defeat.
Chelia and Wendy continued their conversation until Beth walked into the room. She walked over to Romeo and Chelia decided to be nosey and listen in.
"Thank you for your help yesterday." Beth thanked Romeo.
"Don't mention it, it's what friend are for right?" Romeo replied
"I hope you aren't hurt or anything." Beth said.
"Don't worry I'm not." Romeo assured Beth.
"What happened yesterday?" Chelia asked.
"I helped Beth pickup a heavy package but as I was leaving I tripped and hurt my knee." Romeo lied.
"Alright, I'll just pretend to believe that." Chelia replied.
Wendy and Chelia were both walking out of the school since the day had finally ended. The two walked to the gate until Wendy stopped to look in her bag.
"Shoot I forgot my books." Wendy revealed.
"Well you better go get them then." Chelia replied.
"Alright, I'll see you tomorrow." Wendy said as she ran back into the school.
Wendy ran in and got to her locker where her books were. Wendy put her books in her bag and started to walk towards the exit. Wendy looked out the window towards the field and saw Romeo sitting by a tree. Wendy noticed that Romeo was holding his right arm and seemed to be in pain. Wendy decided to walk over to Romeo and see what was wrong.
"Hey are you okay?" Wendy asked.
"Ya I'm fine, why do you ask?" Romeo replied.
"I saw you grabbing your arm and I looked like you were in pain." Wendy explained.
"You must have been imagining it, I'm fine." Romeo assured Wendy.
Wendy walked closer to Romeo and grabbed his shoulder. Romeo winched in pain as she did this
"If this is how you are when you are fine, I can only worry to see how you are when you are hurt." Wendy sarcastically remarked.
"Fine, I may not be in the best shape but it isn't anything I can't handle." Romeo replied.
"Obviously you don't want anyone noticing this so I'll help you and nobody else has to know." Wendy told Romeo.
"There's no way I'm getting out of this, is there?" Romeo asked.
"Nope, let's get going then." Wendy replied as the two began to walk out of the school.
After a short walk that had little talking, the two teens arrived at Wendy's house. Wendy opened the door and the two walked in Romeo sat on Wendy's bed as Wendy brought a first aid kit in.
"Alright, let me see your wound." Wendy told Romeo.
Without arguing, Romeo took his sweater and shirt off. Wendy's attention was immediately focused on the currently bleeding wound right below Romeo's shoulder.
"So, are you going going to tell me how you got this?" Wendy asked.
"Do I really have to?" Romeo asked.
"Yes so spill it?" Wendy ordered as she started to clean the wound.
"Well I got into a fight yesterday and it ended worse than I wanted it to but I'm still here and that's all that matters." Romeo revealed. "Besides something like this wouldn't put me down anyways."
"This looks pretty bad. If you don't get this properly treated then you might end up with scar." Wendy explained.
"Just a scar, I'll risk it. I'd rather not have anyone know about this. It will only cause me problems and I'd rather not have that." Romeo commented.
"Well if you get injured like this then come see me and I'll patch you up." Wendy suggested." I'm not a doctor but I do know first aid skills. If you don't take care of your body then you might end up destroying it."
"All right, I'll consider it." Romeo replied.
Wendy began to wrap with wound the wound with bandages. Once she finished she put all the supplies back in the first aid kit.
"And I'm done. Just don't reopen the wound and it will heal fine. It might be small but it hit deep. It seems almost like a bul…"
"Wendy we're home." Natsu shouted.
"Shoot, Natsu's home. If he sees you here then this might end badly." Wendy explained.
"Then I just need to sneak out then." Romeo replied as he put his clothes back on." Sounds easy enough."
"If he even sees a glimpse of you then it will be bad." Wendy said as she started to panic.
"Don't worry, I've snuck out of places more dangerous than this. I'll see you at school tomorrow." Romeo told Wendy as jumped out her window.
Wendy hid the first aid kit under her bed and went downstairs. As she headed down, she thought back to her conversation with Romeo and Chelia during lunch and the rest of the events that followed.
"Romeo's hiding something and I want to know what." Wendy thought.
"Hello Natsu, Hello Lucy, how was your day? Wendy asked.
"It was fine, just long as always." Lucy replied. "How was your day?"
"Boring as usual." Wendy answered.
Romeo walked down the road thinking of what to do next. Romeo saw a group of police officers all gathered in an alley. Romeo walked by and saw the scorch marks that went across the walls and the floor of the alley.
"Let's see if anything else will excite me."
