The Betrayal

Chapter 1: Jade

As I walked into the classroom, I still felt weird. Even though it had been two months since I moved to the U.S, I still hadn’t adjusted to my new life. Everyone still thinks of me as the weird kid from Douala, Cameroon. They think I can’t hear them when they talk about me but I do. I am behind in all my classes because I couldn’t go to school the past two years. All my teachers are sympathetic. They even assigned me a tutor named Iris. I have to go to language classes too. Everyday is the same thing. Go to school, do homework, go to bed. Sometimes I get flashbacks of my old life in Cameroon. It is usually the bad parts like my dad dying and all the attacks and hiding. My Mom says Dad is still with us but I don’t see how somebody dead can still be here. Mom is going through a hard time. No one will hire her and we are falling behind on rent. If we don't pay it we will get deported. Most of the kids at school don’t talk to me, except for Iris. She is the only kid who doesn’t think of me as stupid. It’s like somehow she gets it.

Chapter 2: Iris

You know, most sixteen year old's get a car for their birthday but me, I get struck by lighting. The worst part is, no one knows. I can't tell anybody that this happened. When I got struck by lighting, I felt something weird. Like a thing of electricity was running through my body. Turns out, it was, I got electricity powers. Then, some group called the Shock Sisters asked me to join them and help fight evil. I feel like I'm in a movie except its all real. Not only can I not tell anybody, but I still have to act normal at school. No one has noticed anything different about me lately but I feel like Jade is sensing somethings up. I have to tutor her. Jade is pretty cool, except for the fact that she doesn't talk a lot. It gets kinda awkward when the person your tutoring just says "Ok". I walk into the library and of course Jade is already there. The session goes by pretty fast and we are about to leave when my mom texts and says she can't pick me up. "Do you want to walk home together?" I ask "Sure." she says. This is so boring. She won't even talk, but I guess it is a step up from her not even wanting to be next to me.

Chapter 3: The decision

Where am I? The last thing I remember is dropping Iris off at her house. I hear loud steps coming towards me. Someone takes off my blindfold and I can now see I'm in a office. "Listen, I have a offer for you." she said "Who are you." I asked "Shut up. I am going to say this once, I am part of the AOD or the Army of Darkness. You are being asked to join our group. If you join we will give you 100,000 dollars." "You have 48 hours to make your decision." she said and left. I was escorted home and went straight up to my room. What just happened? The only reason I accepted was because the money would save my family. I got a call the next day and was given my first mission. Oh no. I have to kill Iris. Apparently she has powers and is a risk to the AOD. I can't quit now. I was told that if I quit I will be killed.

Chapter 4: The kidnap

I tried to get through school as fast as possible. I had come up with a plan. First, I would walk home with Iris and then kidnap her then, I would take her to a remote warehouse and finish the job. I would get this over with and be done with the AOD. "Hey, do you want to walk home again?" I asked her "Um, sure." Okay, good. Now I just have to knock her out. I had soaked a cloth in chloroform and was pretty sure it would do the trick. "Hey, I got a new perfume. Wanna smell it?" "Sure" When she went to sniff I pressed it against her nose and mouth until she fainted. It had worked. It wasn't to hard to get her to the warehouse. Once I did I tied her up and waited till she woke up. I don't know why but I felt like I should at least explain what is happening before she dies.

Chapter 5: The attempt

What the, where am I? I feel drowsy and dizzy. My hands and feet are tied up and I am in what looks like a old warehouse. Someone is coming toward me and I start shaking. "Oh, its you." I look and it is Jade. "So, about this." "Your not going to like what I have to say. I am going to have to kill you." she said. I just sat there speechless. I didn't think life would end this way, especially by the hands of Jade. "Look, I can't explain everything to you but I am sorry." She pulled out a gun and I closed my eyes bracing for impact. "WAIT" I yelled. "You don't have to do this." "Please, just explain." So, she explained everything and I just sat there. "Listen, I can help you. I am in the Shock Sister and they can help us defeat the AOD so neither of us have to die." "Okay." At that moment someone pounded on the door. "Jade, open up! We know you've turned." "Quick, unite me!" She untied me but I was still dizzy and couldn't walk without falling. They broke down the door and were running in when Jade shot fire at them from her hand. They pulled out guns and were trying to shoot while being burned. There was smoke everywhere and I couldn't see anything. All I could hear was gun shots. I felt something hit me really hard and I fell. I had been shot in the leg. I was on the ground when I saw them about to shoot Jade. I shot all of them with electricity and they fell down. "Iris! Your leg, are you all right?" "No, get me out of here."
