"Fine then. If you aren't going to move then you can just stay there." She said to him. They watched as she raised her hand waving it in the air before the ground beneath the boy's feet turned into quick sand. the kids that were standing around all let out loud gasps as she closed her hand into a ball and turned it in to a fist.
The boy began to sink slowly into the ground as he tried to cry out on pain but the rest of the students were too scared to help him. They didn't want to have to face the rath of Tina.
Slowly the boy's body began to sink lower and lower into the ground as the people tried to look away from the scene. Soon enough all that could be seen of his body was his head and his hands.
"You have to stop." Gloria suddenly said. It was as though she had finally found her voice. Tina turned towards her with a quirked eyebrow as she seemed to be surprised by her words. "Stop or I will have to do something about it. "Gloria said and she watched as something in her gaze shifted.
Tina let out a sigh aa she unclenched her hand and she watched ass the boy suddenly returned to the surface. "You are no fun and if something happens to us on thew way then just know that it is your fault. We can rest here I guess. I don't need any more of you passing out." Tina said to them in a mutter under her breath as she rolled her eyes before letting out a scuff.
The students let out groans of relief as they made their way into the small clearing. They all found their own spot as in the space for them to rest as Tina stood near the pile of food. she had made her four toy boys to carry the food there as well as carry her bed. They slowly lowered it for her to get on but she shook her head.
"now I am going to give everyone their food rations. don't eat it all at one time because if you finish it then we don't have anything to eat for the next few days." She warned them. Tina turned towards the large pile of food and she began to distribute miniscule piles to the students she reached Dick and glorias and eyed them. She gave them each five berries before she began to walk away from the two of them.
The food she had given them would be barely enough to last them two days. "Tina you can't expect us to live on this." Gloria said to her.
Tina turned towards her as she arched a brow. "How you live is not my problem. You should try to be more grateful." Tina chastised. Tina shrugged her shoulders after that, "Besides we have to save our rations for the other days of the trip. We don't know how long we will go before we have to return to the course. And I don't trust any of you to do what is right and control yourselves. So I will be in charge of the food distributions." Tina said to them.
Gloria was silent as she watched Tina walk off. She knew in a way that she was right so she shrugged it off. But as she made her way to her bed that lay waiting for her they watched as she took a small pile of the juiciest fruits and began to much of them.
Gloria was just about done with her antics and she couldn't wait for Dick to have the chance to teach her a lesson and finally put her in her place once and for all.
"I am tired of Tina." Gloria said as she stood up and made her way over to her. Dick observed her from the side but didn't do anything. Glorias walked up to where Tina was sat as Tina peered up at her.
Tina plucked a few berries into her mouth before looking towards Gloria. "What do you want now?" Tiuna asked. "You can't just keep doing whatever you want and taking other people's food rations when you have done nothing to work for them and do not deserve it." Gloria said to her.
Tina shook her head as she let out a light chuckle from her lips. "And what are you going to do about it. You and the rest of the students all know that I am the strongest one here. If you went up against me you would lose." Tina said.
Gloria was silent for a moment. She was stronger now than she used to be but she also didn't want to start any trouble. Reluctantly she let out a sigh as she slouched her shoulders before turning to leave.
"That is what I thought. Go back to your pack of losers." Tina called out and her toy boys laughed. Gloria took her spot beside Dick.
They sat there in silence not saying a word as they tried to ignore Tina. Soon they were pulled out of their thoughts by the sound of some of the students clearing their throats.
Gloria looked up to find some of the students looking towards her nervously. "What do you want?" Gloria asked.
"We are tired of the way that Tina is treating you. Treating all of us and we want to give our loyalty to you instead. We know that you would make a much better leader than her." One of the boys said.
Gloria was quiet for a moment before she finally spoke up. "Why should I trust you?" She questioned them.
The students began to shuffle on their feet before one of them finally decided to speak up.
"We think that you deserve to be the leader and we would have a better chance of making it out of here alive when we are on your side rather than hers." He said.
Gloria was silent as she hummed before she thought over their words for a moment, she knew that it was stupid of her to believe their words they could just as easily be here to spy on Tina.
"And what about Tina. What if she finds out?" Gloria asked but they only shrugged their shoulders art her in response. "we don't care about her finding out because we no longer fear her." He said standing his ground.
Gloria's. Was quiet as she thought over it. This could be something that she would put to good use. She was tired of the way that Tina treated everyone after all. It was a risk but she was desperate to make sure that Tina paid and if it meant plotting with some of the other students then she wasn't entirely opposed to the idea.
"We will be willing to do anything that you ask. We are at your service. All we want is that you make sure that Tina is gone and then we will be entirely at your service." They said as they bowed their heads at her slightly.
It was as though they were offering her an olive branch and they were showing her their respect to her.
