Chapter 78: Plan in Action

Yes, I finally move my finger for this chapter,again a million apologies for the wait and even though it's not long I hope it's just as enjoyable. Who knew all I need is install a good note app and I could write again. Anyway enjoy you all, and thank you for those who kept on believing in me *cry tears of joy*

When I first realize the weight of my own existence when I realize I was probably the only witch that exist. I had sworn to myself never to let anyone know of my powers, not if I, want to repeat the past. 

Which is why I'm mentally scolding myself that I had let not just one or two but half of my classmates and two friends to know my existence. They were surprised of course but with terrorist running wild at school, you set your priorities. 

"Are you sure it's a good idea to split us up?" I asked nervously at Dale's back. 

"As much as I don't like it, Hawk has a point, there are too many of us so sneaking around would be harder and it helps to cover more ground. Our goal is to find and steal the device that control us while the others find and rescue the teachers, simple right?" 

I look back at our group, Foax was just behind me with his usual glaring eyes he made to the world. Then there's Stanley trembling nervously at the back but tried to wear a brave face, lastly Jeremy is...silent as he led us at front. I couldn't be sure of what he's feeling when he only showed half his face. However, I had to admire his Hypnotic Skill because it had been a first for me to witness someone use it by gesture. Eye contact are the vital skill for hypnosis, yet every time we met the terrorist, one flick of a finger from Jeremy and they walk past us as if we were never there. 

As expected someone from Class S, you can't have a normal ability within them. 

Which is why unlike many thriller-suspense story where the characters would use their quick wits to outmanuevered the villains, the five of us cheat our way through. 

Things got a bit harder when we reach the Gym, with so many people, not even Jeremy could hypnotize them all. The gym was half covered by those wearing our uniform, at evry corner there are at least 2 black garbed men with one weapon at hand. I heard the air swallowed around me including myself and clenched my hand tighter. 

"So what's the next step?" I asked Dale again. 

"Hawk said we have to somehow figured who has the device, once we do we'll have Faux use his power to release all the kids. Me, Jeremy and Stanley will make sure no one no one gets close to him"

"Wait...what will I do?"

Dale met my eyes and he eyed me strangely, as if trying to discern my reaction. His expression went from serious to pity then to troubled until he finally voice out the plan. 

"The only thing we need right now is for most of the terrorist guarding them to leave their station and pin their attention toward something else."

I blinked once, tring to discern his words and sigh at the meaning. "You want me to become a decoy" I said as a matter of factly. 

"You don't have to if you don't want, being a decoy means your on your own and you are more likely to die" Dale slap his mouth when he realize what he said and the other gasped while Faux glared more intensedly at Dale. 

Are you trying to send her an early grave?

"I can't help it if I told Hawk she had similar ability as Rick, and my ability is useless as decoy. You also don't need to meet them upfront, just use something flashy that will make them feel threathen and wisk them away until our part is over"

Faux would have like to say morre but i shot him a look since we have no time to argue. "Great, how am I suppose to make at least half the guards leave their post and stop them from coming back as well?"

An idea suddenly came up to me and the froze expression I had seemed to tell the rest that I had one. "Okay boys, listen up, here's how we're going to do this"

"Sir, the preparation has all been set, should we wrap everything up?" the man said with a strained tone in his voice. For some reason, their leader, Parson has been silent for quite awhile. Sitting at one of the bench chair with full concentration in his eyes.

"Sir?" He asked again. 

A loud 'boom' was heard and everyone from our group ready our weapon toward the source. Three pairs came up toward while the others wait.

No sound came up after a few seconds but none of the scout came back and we knew something was wrong. 

"Get 2 pairs and bring a child if you have to." Said Parson finally. 

The next pair nodded at eachother and cautiously came up toward the exit with each pair having a child on tow. One was the strongest telekenisis named Elizabeth Robertson, the other was Roxene Callway, a girl who could manipulate air pressure. 

They ushered their way with complete stealth, they didn't even show a jolt of surprised when they saw the fallen form of their comrades. One of the men who leads held up one finger and signal the other to go look ahead. 

The other nodded and after pulling out from hiding, he stopped his track when in front of him was a little girl, (describe her)

He aimed his gun at her and the girl ran toward a corner. He followed her in a hurry and was met by his own reflection once he turned. The light reflected the floating oval shape murror and revealed a pair of amber eyes and the feeling of conciousness began to slip away from him. 

Witnessing another one fall, the otbers rush toward where they thought was the source but before long, a flow of water began to crept from the walls then to the air, freezing and creating countless of mirrors around them with the same pair of eyes. 

One look and it was over, they all fell toward a deep sleep the mind could not fight. 

Claudia crept up from the corner and in a hurry went to her sister's side and pulled her away from the bodies, Jeremy soon followed and help by barely lifting up the other girl. 

He made a quick look at the mirrors and touched the cold slippery surface, "So this is magic...I've got to say I was sceptical at first but this is really amazing, reflecting my eyes and air it on them like that while disregarding physics."

"It's a good thing there's a water fountain just beside the gym." Claudia thought could use water or ice spell from the air vapour, it wouldn't be as strong and potent from water, though knowing there's water from the pipes or sewer already helps, it was better having water first hand. 

"How many do you think we need to knock people out?" he asked nervously. 

"As much as we can, but we can't rely this tactic too long because they'll send a kid to retailiate sooner that could counter your hypnosis and we'll need a plan then."

"It'd be great if Faux and the others could work out before then"

"Rick, are you really...really...sure for us to do this without adults?" Dean asked nervously, his lips quivered, and his hands were holding up one another to stop himself shaking. 

Rick had the urge to roll his eyes but he knew how much stressed and fear Dean must be going through, being the youngest around and risking his neck like this. 

The FBIs are about to meet is by the auditorium, and they're already preparing sniper outside the school. I'm just going near enough to see the teacher's situation. 

"Are you sure you'll be fine?" Kevin asked worriedly. 

"No problem, it's not the worst job I've done" with that, he slowly walked his way to the nearest wal of the auditorium. As long as he kept his distance, he wouldn't alert the terrorist and he could see through with his X-Ray Vision to observes the insides. 

"Holy shi-"he caught himself raising his voice before he could curse. He shouldn't have been too surprised though, they were terrorist.

And they wouldn't be terrorist without a little bomb wouldn't they?
