     Scott and the red headed lady said they had some things to talk to me
about in the morning. I nodded and then closed my eyes. I woke up to the
sound of a girl screaming.

     I looked around the room but couldn't see through the darkness. Did I
dream the scream? I got my answer, This time it was a man screaming. It
abruptly ended. I grabbed my coat from the desk beside me and ran into the
hallway. No one was around.  "Going somewhere?"

     I turned around to see Bella. She was covered in blood and smiling.
She started walking towards me, at amazing speeds. She got up to me and
grabbed me by the throat. She picked me up and my feet were dangling off
the ground.  I couldn't breathe, I was struggling to get free, and my hands
were grasping her hand, trying to pry it off.

     "Don't worry, I'm not going to kill you, Your much to important to do
that, I am ordered to bring you alive - but they never said I couldn't
wound you." With that she threw me across the dining hall into the wooden
door on the other side and I broke through it. I hit the floor and landed
in a heap. I moaned and tried to get up, Bella kicked my in my ribs and I
flew about a foot into the air. She then grabbed me and started dragging me
towards the door.

    We got outside and Bella pulled me to my feet, I was still out of it.
The sky started getting cloudy, and it was abruptly raining. Bella let go
of me and looked around. Thunder and lightning cracked in the sky. A bolt
of lightning flew down and slammed into Bella sending her back into the
building.

    I took this as my cue and started to run towards the gates of the
school.  I ran right into the arms of... Mr. Jannsen!? He smiled at me,
then grabbed my wrists and put them together, he then spat on them, and
green goo came out, it stuck to my hands, they were bonded together by what
could only be described as pond scum.  I struggled trying to remove the goo
and Mr. Jannsen just laughed, then he grabbed me by my hair and started
dragging me towards a van.

    In a moment of desperation I chared forward and bit his ear, he
screamed in pain and kicked me. I had no idea he was this strong, I flew
back 30 feet, and stopped in the air and floated slowly to the ground. Did
I just fly again? Mr.  Jannsen started running towards me and jumped, he
jumped at least 15 feet before he stopped in the air. We both looked
around. That's when the red haired lady came out.

     "Ah, Jean, you bitch. Might as well give up now, were taking this
whore with us."  Said Mr. Jannsen. I looked at Jean and she smiled
kindly. "Sorry to disappoint you Toad, but I have a date with Scott, and
you have a date with a fence." Toad looked at her confused she smiled then
pointed at Toad and then at the metal fence about 60 feet away, Toad flew
back at an amazing speed, right into the fence. It bent back at the force
of the body. The rain ended all of a sudden.

     I started to cry and she told me it would be okay. I backed up and
Jean asked me what was wrong, but I couldn't speak. Bella backhanded Jean
and she flipped in the air and landed on the ground in an awkward
position. I backed away from Bella and she walked forward slowly and
calmly.

     "The weather witch has been dealt with. You're just delaying the
inevitable, child.  Come with us before we have to kill more of these
fools." Said Bella. I gulped at the statement and continued to walk back.

     A ruby red ray shot Bella in the shoulder and she crouched down
holding it.  She looked over to see Scott. She ran at him at excessive
speeds and jumped at him with her fists out. Another red ray came out of
his glasses blasting Bella backward.  She landed at my feet smoking
slightly.

     "Are you alright Zach?" said Scott. I just held my gaze on Bella. "Is
she dead?"  I asked. "I'm not sure" he replied. He walked up to me and put
his hand on my shoulder.  "Hold still, I'll blast the slime off." said
Scott, then a small ray came out of his glasses and blasted it all off. I
breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly Bella reached over and grabbed Scott's
foot. She pulled it and he fell onto his back with a *thud*.

     Bella stood up, blood running down her forehead. "I have had it with
these games little one. I will drag your unconscious body back to Alan if I
have to." She had this look in her eyes. I thought she would kill me if she
got close enough.

     "S-s-stay where you are Bella!" I said. She just laughed at me and
kept coming towards me.  "I said stop!!!" there was this swishing noise,
then vines in the ground came up and tangled around Bella's feet.

     "I don't believe this. Your defeated and yet you still resist. Any
more delays and I will take it out on your slut of a mother." Spat Bella. I
looked up at her shocked.  She smiled at me and then leaned over and
started ripping the vines off.

     I was breathing heavily, enraged at what Bella had said about my
mother, and the fact she knew where she was. I thought of all the horrible
things they might have done to her. There was another swishing noise and
then the vines around Bella all sprouted thorns.

     I heard the awkward noise the thorns made as they punctured Bella's
skin. She screamed in pain and started thrashing around trying to rip the
vines off. All she did was push them in deeper and cut her hands up in the
process. She started spasming and foaming at the mouth. Bella's eyes glazed
over and then she fell back, blood pooling around her.  The vines retracted
into the ground, and then the ground healed over, like nothing had
happened.

     I fell to my knees and vomited from the sight in front of me. Had I
done this?  Had I killed Bella? Suddenly Toad landed in front of me; he
grabbed Bella and then jumped off. There was a bloodstain where Bella had
been laying.

     I turned my back to the stain and grabbed my knees. Sitting in the
fetal position.  I cried and I cried, I cried until I couldn't cry
anymore. I passed out on the lawn of the school, beside the bloodstain of
the woman I had killed.

   Well that's it for this chapter. What did you think? Very violent I
know.  I want you all to email me with who you think Zach should date?
Logan, Scott, Bobby, or maybe even John? (The boy who makes a fireball in
class. He is called "Pyro" in the comics.) E-mail me at
Abercromnie@hotmail.com because I thrive on E-mail!

P.S: This is the last chapter named X-factor-1x =)
