Ch 17
Ambushed.
"This party sucks," A guy beside Aishii complained. Aishii nodded in agreement. The two leaned against a wall by the back, alone. Two hours and nothing interesting had happened.
"I wanna go home," She mumbled, getting off the wall. She walked away from the empty space in search for Elya.
Elya was out on the dance floor, partying like if there was no tomorrow. She had completely forgotten she came with her little cousin.
Aishii peered over the heads of the people attending to see that brunette dancing crazily. She could easily tell who Elya was: The randomest one.
After a few moments, she spotted that brown haired girl jumping up and down with a guy Aishii assumed was her date. She took a step forward-
BOOM!
The room hushed. The music screeched to a stop, and everyone stood still. Even Elya stopped.
Hushed murmurs filled the room in a matter of seconds.
"What was that-"
"An attack?"
"Nah, just a prank-"
"Seniors, geez-"
"But what if-"
BOOM! Another large crash of sound, and the room shook. Some girls screamed. Aishii ran to Elya, weaving through the crowd.
"Oh Lifestream. IT'S THE KUBAI ARMY!"
The floor shook, and the crowd started to run.
"Elya!" Aishii shouted, drowned out by the stampede of high school and jr. high school students. She finally caught Elya's arm.
"Elya, what's going on?!" She shouted. Elya grabbed Aishii.
"I don't know, but we have to get out of here!" Elya frantically answered. They started to run. Elya kept muttering to herself.
"Oh god, oh god, Aunt Ira is gonna kill me if Aishii gets hurt...gotta get out, gotta get out-"
Suddenly, the remaining crowd of one hundred or so people stopped. Elya and Aishii stopped as well, hidden in the back.
"They've locked us in!" someone shouted from the front. People started to panic. One girl started to cry. Another guy in the front started yelling frantically.
"We're gonna die! We're gonna die!" He kept repeating. Aishii couldn't take these people's panic. She stood on a nearby chair and cleared her throat.
"Hey," Nobody turned. She cleared her throat again.
"I said... HEY!" All heads turned to her. She put her hands on her hips, crashes and screams coming from the outside of the room.
"Alright. I know how we can get out of here." She said.
