questions

Lucy awoke in a pitch black room she could hear running water somewhere behind her and could smell something familiar, what it was she didn’t know she just had a vague memory of the smell. As she was getting used to being in the dark the lights were switched on shining brightly into Lucy’s eyes. She looked around and could see no one but her and Kyle in the room. She knew they were still somewhere in the school because the school had a habit of stamping their mark onto certain things. For example the dark oak chair in which Kyle was sitting.

 As Lucy sat watching Kyle she noticed the somewhat smug look on his face, she would have stood up and slapped him across the face had it not been for the fact that Kyle had felt the need to tie her to the chair she was sitting in. As she was contemplating all the ways in which she was going to make Kyle pay a hidden door across from them both opened and in walked the strangest looking group Lucy had ever seen.

There had been three people walk through the hidden door.

The first was a tall boy called Tony who couldn’t have been more than sixteen, with curly light brown hair, brown eyes and full lips, Lucy and her old friends would have called his outfit of choice jock chique. The next was Jessie, a slim blonde girl with platinum blonde hair; ocean blue eyes and more lip gloss on then was absolutely necessary. Her outfit of choice classified her as bimbo chique. It was the last person to walk through the door that intimidated Lucy.

James had shoulder length black hair, pale skin, and piercings all the way up his left ear. Goth chique. Lucy wasn’t sure what made her feel so intimidated by the three new people however Kyle seemed completely at ease with their entrance. Until Jessie spoke that is.

Lucy couldn’t quite hear what she had said but apparently Lucy knew each of these people well, she simply had no memory of it. Kyle had taken into upon himself that he was supposedly going to cure Lucy off here apparent memory loss. She wasn’t worried until she noticed James inching slowly toward her with his palm outstretched. Lucy didn’t know what was going to happen once James touched her, what she did know was that she didn’t want to find out. She began to struggle, stretching the ropes binding her hands enough that she could slip them out and start working on her ankles. Whilst all of this was going on James had made it to within just inches of touching her. Lucy had just gotten the rope on her left ankle untied when James’ hand came down and touched her slightly on her forehead.

Apparently James putting his hand on her forehead had somehow made Lucy pass out as she came to lying on her back on the cold floor staring up into the face of Kyle. Before she knew what was happening Kyle suddenly flew half way across the room and into the far wall slumping down onto the floor seemingly unconscious. She took that moment to make a run for the door and as she was running down the narrow hallway she thought she was going to make it to the fire exit she could see just up ahead. Just as she got to the door and was about to push it open she felt herself being lifted off of the ground. As she was turned around in mid-air she noticed Jessie standing there with a somewhat smug grin on her face. Apparently she had a few gifts of her own.

After Jessie had forced her into the room were Kyle was sitting upright against the wall, having come back into consciousness, Lucy noticed that the others were all stood silently against the opposite wall, if looks could kill Lucy would have been dead. “So you think you can attack Kyle and not face the consequences huh?” said Tony. “Well I see it as more self-defence then simply attacking” she replied. That comment earned her a slap in the face from Kyle, who apparently was fully recovered after the whole being thrown into a wall thing. She decided she had a few questions for Kyle and the others and before she could change her mind blurted out the first.

A wild and entertaining chapter. I like the the need to fight and stand her ground. I like the logical ending also. Ensuring her actions would be worthwhile. Thank you for sharing the excellent chapter.
