Chereads / Who Will Fall First? / Chapter 23 - 23

Chapter 23 - 23

He didn't let go of me and I didn't let go of him. I don't know why I didn't, I really don't, but I kept my arms around him. I had stopped crying a few minutes ago, and we were now sitting in silence-until we heard screams. Coming from the dorms. We both pulled away, and snuck into the commons area, peeking around the doorframe. I could make out a tall figure, dressed in a black trench coat and black jeans, with a hat covering their face. And I instantly knew. "Where is she?" The figure asked-and I could tell now that it was a man, watching as he asked Amina. "I don't know who your talking-" He slowly raised one finger. "I'll count to five, and if you don't answer, well..." You'll die. He didn't say it, but I could still hear the threat in his voice, and knew he was a serious as fuck villain. I looked at Connor, pointed inside, and made two of my fingers crawl up my arm, then pointed to him. He nodded, understanding that I had just said he'd ambush them while I distracted them. He went towards the back of the building, and I entered through the front, asking, "Who are you looking for, exactly?" The figure turned his head to look at me. I noted his eyes were a glow-in-the-dark blue. I noticed he had his group with him, which, including him, added up to a total of ten villains. Apl I got from him was one word. "You." Then, he chased after me as I ran, believing he could capture me, of all people. I didn't get too far by the time Connor caught up. But the villain raised his hand in the air, and down Connor went, taking a bit of a rumble. What the hell is this guy's power?! I thought, before wrapping the shadows around me, and watching his every move. He looked around, as if he could actually find me. "A pity your wasting your potential. A hero with your power? I mean, that's just a load of bullshit!" I scowled, but stayed calm, putting my hair up in a bun. Things were about to get messy.
