7 Minutes in (a Safe-) Haven

Nameless · May 10, 2019

'Oh fuck, oh fuck! OH FUCK!' Along the halls, Ater ran, not wanting to be caught in the stampede behind him. He had been chased from the roof and down two floors, zig-zagging as much as he could, using every shortcut and detour he knew by heart after one too many close calls with gangs of regular delinquents. But how many could there be? Surely the school building didn't have a network of alleys students could run around in, being structured to be as uniform as possible. While that is true, Ater had places where he would jump out a window onto a ledge and through another window to get back in, adding precious seconds to his lead. Having been jumping from tree to tree back home, Ater was no stranger to long leaps and calculated parkouring. Who needs stairs when you could just hop over railings. As he was running, he kept his ears perked for opportunities to lose the mob, and that came in the form of a flock of students just walking out from their classroom. He cut into the crowd of maybe 7 students, which was enough to slow down his pursuers since they knew as much as him that if they caused injury, they'd all be in big trouble. It was best to keep what happened between the mob and him as much of a secret as possible from the teachers. He thought he had finally gotten away. Seeing that he would be home free after two more corners, he looked behind him as he was rounding the last one to freedom, not realizing that he was barreling towards another student until the two of them crashed into each other.

"GODDAMNIT AB, WHY DO YOU ALWAYS DO THIS?!"
“Why do you think, Ginger?"
"Yeah yeah, you're an asshole, but still, GIVE ME A BREAK AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK!"
"Nope. And you better run faster, they're catching up."
Magdalene glanced over her shoulder at the pretty angry looking guy and four of his friends, that were chasing her down the school halls. The leading guy had a bruised cheek from when Abab had punched him. Inside her head Magdalene had an ongoing debate, or rather rant, with Abab, who was just having the time of his life with this situation. He had had the genius idea of flipping off this group that were obviously not the most friendly people, and before Magdalene could explain anything they had surrounded her and Abab had punched one of them. And after that she had just ran.

"Once more, it wasn't me!"
Magdalene tried yelling over her shoulder once more, but the guys didn't really seem to care. They just wanted to get some sweet revenge. Guess that was fair, punch for punch, but five guys against one girl? Okay, tall and muscular girl with a super strength arm, but still!
Abab's cackling echoed in Magdalene's head but she ignored it as she jumped down an entire flight of stairs. She still didn't know this school that well and was new to being a normal student overall, where on Earth was she supposed to hide to?!
"Dear Lord in Heaven, what the fuck do I do?"
Magdalene muttered to herself as she grabbed a locker in order to do a tight turn.

Their running steps were getting closer and closer and Magdalene was running out of stamina. She was a swimmer, damnit, not a runner! But she really didn't have time to second-guess her hobby choices now, Magdalene was seeing another tight turn up ahead. Ss she began approaching it she glanced behind her, the guys were still behind the previous corner, maybe this was her chance to escape!
But right when Magdalene thought that and turned the corner she collided with someone at full speed. This person was lot shorter than Magdalene and knocked the air out of her lungs. She fell, but didn't stay down for long, her mind still working at full speed. Magdalene looked at this guy, short with giant tail, looked behind her, the guys were approaching, and if Magdalene heard right there were angry yells echoing from the direction this guy was coming from as well. Magdalene, always cool in a crisis, looked around. And saw a classroom door with dark windows. She quickly stood up, touched her hand to the door handle and said to Abab "You know what to do" in her head. The lock slid open, Magdalene opened the door, grabbed the bushy tailed guy and basically threw him in this empty dark classroom. And after getting in herself Magdalene put Abab to lock the door again and then she hit the deck, holding a finger to her lips at the guy that she apparently had either saved or gotten mixed up in her shit. Too late to think about it now.

Still a bit dizzy, Ater shook his head to see that he had bumped into a girl. More pressing was that the footsteps behind him were getting closer, just around the corner, and in front of him came the sounds of more stampeding footsteps. Either his pursuers split up, or the girl had trouble of her own. But before he could do anything more, he was grabbed and basically thrown into a room, the door locking as two groups of angry students crossed paths. While the majority continued down their path, a few staying behind to talk to some members of both mobs before they themselves ran off after they couldn't get anything from the others. Ater paced his panting through an open mouth, careful not to make a noise. When the last of the hunters were out of earshot, Ater sprawled himself out on the floor, laughing lightly. "Hoo! That could have ended badly." He sprung up to his feet and offered a hand to the girl who pulled him into this dark-windowed room. "Thanks for dragging me here. Those guys would have thrown me off the roof. But you were having your own troubles, weren't you?"

Thankfully this guy realized to stay quiet, as both their pursuers reached the door. Magdalene frowned a bit when her chasers called her wide-shouldered ginger. Seriously, why did everyone fixate on either her shoulders or hair? They could look at how tall she is, or how her eyes are blue, or how she has a, oh I dunno, a fricking black demon arm??
Oh well, no point in getting irritated, not like Magdalene could say any of that to their face. They were off again, the mobs now dividing into several smaller groups to look for Magdalene and this guy. That meant they should probably be in here for a bit.

After the noises of the mob faded from outside Magdalene let out the biggest sigh and l sat on the floor, leaning against the door. Abab was still cackling, but Magdalene blocked his voice from her head as she looked at this guy who was now her partner in crime.
"All that starts bad doesn't thankfully always end bad."
Magdalene answered with a small smile, and when he offered a hand Magdalene grabbed it and let herself be helped up. When standing like this Magdalene noticed how big of a difference there really was in their heights. How big was this guy, around 170? Or whatever it was in the feet that these Americans used.
"When half the people in this academy can fly you'd think they'd figure out something more original."
Magdalene answered with a small grin. She glanced out the door, and then went and sat on one of the desks, swinging her legs. She was probably going to miss her swimming class because of this.
"I happen to carry around a pest that likes stirring shit."
Magdalene said, gesturing to her left black arm that was currently in the middle of showing this guy the middle finger. Magdalene forced Abab to stop and then looked at the guy.
"And what about you? What're you in for?"

"You think tiny-brained Neanderthals like those guys are capable of creativity?" he chuckled out. "The most I'd give them is to get someone who can fly to join and bring me up even higher before the drop me." Ater opened one of the windows just a crack and looked around for alternative escape routes. Well, he saw one of those ledges over by the next window, and there were hedge bushes right underneath this room, so if they get found, jumping flat into those things should be safe, even at this height. For him anyways, he wasn't sure how good the girl was with using bushes as hay bales. He looked at her as she gestured to her arm. Yeah, there was definitely something in that arm that his spirit eyes could see. At first he thought it was just because she was half-demon or something. "Well, I don't know where to start. We've been clashing for a year or two already. Started when I caught them harassing this girl. They were still three at that point, so I got them to chase me around instead. Found it funny, so I kept poking them any chance I got. This time was for binoculars I dipped in some ink so when they used it, it'd leave circles around their eyes. Told them it was a peace offering."

"Apparently their tiny Neanderthal brains don't realize the concept of murder either then. Since that kinda drop would leave most kinda dead."
Magdalene said, and when she said that her left arm suddenly plunged into her bag, pulled out a hand puppet that was basically a fancy penguin in a top hat and Abab used that puppet to say
"That just makes it even more fun. Just think of the aftermath, sight for sore eyes."
Kinda morbid thing for a cute hand puppet to say, and afterwards he let out his villainous laugh. If Ater had ever heard villainous laughs before, well, this was the laugh they had all been created from. Magdalene yanked the puppet off of her hand, cutting the laugh short, and after rolling her eyes she sent an apologetic grin at Ater.
"This is the kinda guy he is, pay the asshole no mind."

Magdalene watched this guy scout out the window, and honestly expected him to leave since if he could why wait around? But instead he stayed, maybe the landing was too rough or something, and continued chatting with Magdalene, which was kinda cool of him.

"You did that? Classic. Though I don't really see the point in poking the beehive like that, it's cool to stop them from doing shit like harassing girls but doing it for fun? Eh."
Magdalene was honest, and so was Abab when he touched the left hand to the desk and now his voice emanated from that, sounding mocking and amused in a twisted way.
"Looks like those maggots aren't the only ones with no creativity, your prank was so inferior it's making my skin crawl with boredom."
Another villainous laugh, and Magdalene pinched her arm, making both her and Abab hiss from pain. Magdalene smirked a bit at Ater as Abab proceeded to pinch her right arm as well.
"It's not though, if his skin was crawling my skin would be crawling."

He stared at the puppet for a second until it got ripped out of the possessed arm. "You call that fun? Going splat? You're just like those guys!" he pointed intensely at the possessed arm. "I mean, at least kill me with a Rube Goldberg machine that leads up to that and don't just toss me overboard. That's the most boring way to go!" He looked at the girl with a deadpan stare. "Your possessed arm is not that creative, is it?" Then the arm, now talking through a desk started mocking him again, telling him that he lacked creativity. "Oh please, why go through all that trouble for those guys. It's the simple, stupid, classic tricks that get them riled up the most. Why fix something that isn't broken? But I doubt you'd understand." He laughed mockingly back at the arm. "Anyway, back to me doing it for fun. I could say that doing things that way will stop them from being able to freely do things without being mocked by the others, or maybe I just want to be a bully to people no one would be sad for, maybe I just want to show off these foxy skills. But no, I just like the exercise."
