Chapter Five:

Break In

(Cammie POV)

After the punching bag incidence- where Brian assured be that they did have spare punching bags- I worked on helping the students with their fighting skills. Truely, the weren't bad. This class was tenth graders and although some were definately made for R&D track, they all showed great potential in certain things pertaining to P&E.

Annie, a small girl who I soon learned was the older sister of the stuttering girl that had reminded me of Liz, was great with rope climbing and sneaking up on people- she would be a great person to have in the field if she weren't so bad at fighting on her own and shooting with basically everything.

And I guess that sounds harsh, but I helped her on guns, bow-and-arrows, knife throwing, etc. and nothing she threw was even close to the target. I decided to stop trying to get her to make pointy or dangerous things fly through the air when she almost impaled me with an arrow and proceeded to start crying.

However, me being the lucky person I am, I was able to catch the arrow just before it was about to hit me in a very interesting place... (you guys can think of the body part on your own! lemme know what you thought of when you were reading it!) After reassuring her that it was nothing and I was fine, I sent her over to the obstacle course and went back to the end, where people were fighting each other.

"Jared, loosen your thighs- seriously, if you keep that up, you won't be able to get up when he comes at you," I said as I passed two boys practicing on the fighting mat. Sure enough, right as I was saying it, Laurence, the other guy, decided to attack and Jared wasn't able to get out of the way fast enough and was nailed in the shoulder pretty hard and soon was on his stomach as Laurence held his hands together behind his back.

"Good job guys, you did well," I said as they both got up, brushing some dirt from their shirts as they did. Laurence smiled at me and moved off to bow-and-arrow exercizes. He was a large boy- but not in the overweight kind of way, just uscular and tall. He was also majorly tanned and very dark, but really boyish. He kind of reminded me of a giant teddy bear.

Jared looked me up and down, then gave me a small smile and headed to another station Brian and I had set up for them.

Speak of the Devil...

"Hey, how's it going?" Brian asked, jogging up behind me. He was slightly out of breath and he was working up a pretty good sweat. Surprisingly, he didn't smell bad- just like... Zach.

"Pretty good- they have some nice talent," I said, watching as a girl named Mackenzie shot an arrow through a bulls-eye. Brian followed my eyesight and smiled.

"Yeah, they're really talented... You wanna show them what real fighting looks like?" he asked me, a strange twinkle in his eyes. I narrowed my own eyes at him.

"Sure."

Then, I pushed him over and ran over to one of the fighting mats, calling the students' attention. "LISTEN UP!" they all immediatley looked over at me and I smiled. "Brian and I are going to demonstrate some fighting moves that you should know!"

At that, they all seemed to stand up straighter and smile a little wider.

I could hear Brian trying to creep up on me and I smiled. "Like this one," I sent them in sign language, careful not to let Brian see what I was doing. Then, just as he was pouncing on me, I jumped and hauled myself onto a low rafter, so quickly I wasn't even sure anyone saw it.

Then, when Brian was stumbling from me not being there, I jumped off of the rafter and landed neatly on his back, succesfully taking him down. He groaned from the weight and I smiled.

"Fun stuff..."

For the rest of the period, the students learned new tricks and moves- some I had made on my own and some that I had learned from other people. But none of them were any of my particularly complicated ones though- which means barely any of them, really.

Not that they were going to learn even a quarter of my tricks- those would be too dangerous for them and way too advanced for even a senior to even attempt.

After that period, I went to the Grand Hall to hunt for some lunch. I was changed back into my clothes from earlier and many people stopped in the hallway to stare at me. Whether it was awe, jealousy, or anything else I guess you could see it in their faces, but really I was too hungry to look closely.

When I arrived at the Grand Hall, I quickly loaded my plate with chicken parmesan with a side of sweet cooked carrots and a nice slice of chocolate lava cake- I suspect this was Jacob Collin's way of getting on my good side after his leering gaze on my legs.

Ignoring the empty seat beside Jacob, I instead turned towards the only other empty seat at the table- right beside Brian. He smiled wide at me and I nodded at him before digging into my chocolate cake- what? I like dessert first...

Just as I was on my third bite of the amazing chicken parmesan, loud sirens blared and lights flashed. A loud, mechanical voice called out: CODE BLACK, CODE BLACK!

I lazily looked up from my food and gazed amongst the large crowd of panicked children. With an air of defiance, I stood from the table and strode towards the large doors that were starting to seal up. I turned around only to mouth: Don't Follow Me, I'll handle it to Brian and slipping out of the room before it was closed off.

At Tilliam Academy, when a Code Black sounded, they closed off all the doors and secret passageways they were aware of and started a head count in every room- if someone was missing, then they would find them after the Code Black was over. They weren't going to risk the lives of many children to save one- as harsh as it sounds, it was pretty logical.

Slipping through the Academy as lights flashed and alarms sounded and passageways closed, I made my way calmly to where I knew the intruder would be. I made my way thoroughly through the halls, ignoring the lights and the alarms. When I finally made it to the Headmaster's Office, he was already sitting there, calmly watching the security cameras on the hidden screens in Jacob's office.

"Hey Cams."

"Hello, Grant."
