An ambulance left the school a little while later, yet the only students who seemed to care were those who belonged to the Rugby team, as well as those like John who felt guilty about Mr Root’s sacrifice. Gary, had watched the ambulance drive off into the distance until he couldn’t see it any more, worried about his teacher.
‘Is it my fault that everyone I actually somewhat care about ends up being hurt? Why didn’t I just act sooner? I should have stood up when Mr Root took the blame… NOT after they had beaten him up so badly…’
After learning this crucial bit of information, everything seemed to have fallen into place for the Chief of Police. Anton had never thought a colour gang would try to abduct someone in such a crazy manner, but if their target had been the mayor’s daughter, doing so might have been their best shot.Aside from a few officers who stayed behind to gather some more evidence, the rest of the police force promptly took action and left the school. One of them had informed Headmistress Young, yet the old woman made no announcement about the missing studen
Away from the busy parts of Slough, out in the sticks where there were more open fields and greenery, stood a large house placed behind a gated driveway. Inside that luxury home, not too long ago, Mayor Clove had been informed about the sudden absence of his daughter.“What the hell do I even pay you for, huh?! You’ve not only failed to properly protect her, NOW YOU’VE ALLOWED HER TO GET ABDUCTED?!” The Mayor shouted and banged his hands on the table in front of him like a toddler throwing a tantrum.
After Headmistress Young had dismissed everyone, Kai, Marie and Innu were heading to the bus stop. Austin was already waiting there, since he had been informed over the group chat that they had been let out early.Right now, the whole gang was riding the bus, heading to an area called Burnham. On the way there, it was obvious that it wasn’t as busy as the rest of Slough, most likely because it wasn’t a residential area. Nevertheless, the area still had someone controlling it, and they made their money off of catering to a certain clientele.
After searching around for a while, the only things Gary found of Xin’s were a few of her school books, as well as her pencil case. He had been hoping for something more tangible like an item of clothing. The teenager felt quite strange sniffing her items, but he was trying to save her life, after all. Luckily, there wasn’t anyone in the classroom either… However, the smell was too faint.‘It was easier tracking Tom’s shirt… then again, I was following the smell of his blood. I guess a Werewolf’s nose is just extra sensitive to that.’ Gary assumed.
Stepping outside from an old, beaten down cabin, Riv raised his arm to shield his eyes. The light was shining quite bright outside since it was still the afternoon. He gave himself a few stretches here and there and made sure that everyone was still waiting outside, in their positions.There were around twenty or so members in total. Most of them had been part of the attack on Westbridge high school, following his orders, and now they were standing here on guard in the middle of the woods. Of course, he couldn’t utilise the whole of the red gang for thi
The fist coming towards Gary was fast, a little too fast, thankfully there was some space between the two of them that allowed him to at least do something. Lifting his arms up in a cross shaped position, the only thing he could do in time was block.Jayden threw out the punch a bit widely, there was no technique involved, he had just run and thrown a punch out. Hitting Gary, he skidded along the ground for a bit before stopping. His arms were heavy and sore. They were throbbing like a heartbeat and each time the pain would get worse.
With the barrage of attacks, Gary hadn’t even had the chance to register that his mask had flown off from that last kick. It wasn’t until Jayden had called him ‘streaker boy’ that he touched his face and noticed that there was nothing hiding his identity.“I can’t believe a kid like you stimulated my Altered instincts!” Jayden shook his head in disbelief, yet the young adult also looked somewhat troubled how to deal with him. “If I had known that you were in the red colour gang, then I wou-”
Being the Altered fight fanatic that he was, Gary knew quite a lot about Altered. After the change, an Altered would first have to get used to their new body, as well as the capabilities it held. One of the most important skills was changing their body from a human to the Altered form.According to some documentaries, that wasn’t an easy thing to do, at all. The first time was apparently the hardest of them all. Some could only fully transform into their beast selves, others would often times mistakenly transform the wrong parts of their body, cha
