Edward
“So, Ed,” Al asked as we walked on, “Do you think we should stay with teacher?”
“No way.” I shivered at the thought of it. “She’ll kill us. We’d best just finish up here as soon as possible and leave on the next train.”
“But it could take quite a while to find-.” Al began, but was cut off.
“GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME, YOU FREAK!!!”
“Never mind.”
“Come on Al!” I yelled, sprinting in the direction of the noise. A few people were peeking out their doors and windows. Others locked them tight.
“LET ME GO, LET ME GO!!” the girl screamed again. We stopped at a dark alleyway to find a girl pinned against a wall, kicking as hard as she could, and a cloaked man brandishing a knife to her face.
“The eyes…” The man whispered, in a cracked voice, “They shall be yours…” And with that he raised his knife and blocked her from my view. She gave a loud gasp and her legs began to fall limp.
“Hey, back off the girl!” I yelled, and rushed at him. He turned to show the girl craning her neck to see us. He had obviously already known of my presence, for he tossed his knife at me. I nearly dodged it, but it scraped my right arm. In response, I quickly clapped my hands together and placed them on the ground. But to my dismay, I also disturbed a lot of dirt. Unable to see I shielded my eyes.
“ED!” I heard Al call from behind me.
“They will be yours my love…” I heard the mangled voice say in midst of the cloud. And when it cleared, I saw an empty cage standing inches in front of a girl on her hands and knees, holding her bleeding eye.
“No way.” I shivered at the thought of it. “She’ll kill us. We’d best just finish up here as soon as possible and leave on the next train.”
