As the liquid-hot magma was slowly raised, Jade’s arms guiding the direction it was to go towards, the raging blonde’s lips curled a twisted smile. Though blood dripped both from her nose and mouth, it did not affect the vice of wrath that Jade was experiencing right now. It didn’t make whatever was going thorugh her mind alter Jade’s plan of killing Katalina. If anything, it only added to it. The blood, though just metaphorical before, was now, more than ever, literal. That meaning it literally was blinding her vision of what was going one; only, Jade didn’t know that.
A low, maniacal laugh emitted from her mouth, sounding off the unregretful trance Jade was in. The thought of Kata being burned alive within second was making her give in further and further into her inner-demons. And then, just like the aspect of hope everyone thought they had, Jade’s laugh was gone. Her twisted smile, gone. What was the cause of this, one might wonder? It was another blonde, one with crystal-clear, blue eyes. The same hint of blue and white that her eyes had were in the force field that she had put up, protecting Katalina from sure death.
Jade roared. She more than roared, she screamed to the top of her lungs, pushing her body forward as she put more strength into her control of the lava. Though this helped what she was aiming to do, it wasn’t for Jade’s body. She felt surges of sharp pain course through her arms and head. Blood poured out of her eyes and nose almost as if it was a fountain with minimal pressure. It traced into her mouth. Jade tasted the bitter flavor her own blood. Jade ignored it though. She kept on focusing on Scout and Katalina.
Then Scout would speak, mainly about someone getting Jade. She didn’t hear most of it though. She was too focused on the blonde and redhead in front of her. Even though her body was either at — or near — its breaking point, Jade was too determined to make her plan of ending Katalina a reality. Even if she had to kill herself to do it.
“Wake up! Please, Jade!” The shrieking words entered Jade like a train into a tunnel, with the headlights on Jade’s darkness. She saw them, and heard the horn from the incoming train trying to reach out to her. If only for about a moment or two, Jade had came to. Her bluish-green eyes breaking through the pure red and black that had been her eyes. She saw in front of her and saw what was about to happen. In her mind, Jade had a look of complete and utter shock. She saw her…
lava? In her mind again, Jade didn’t know what was happening. It was like before, but this time she saw that Katalina and Alicia and Scout were all in the way of that lava. Jade, for a moment, had no idea what was going on and what she was doing. For a moment, Jade had lowered her arms, but as they went halfway, she felt those mental puppet strings pulling at her. It was with that, Jade’s clarity was once again gone, but that had been enough time.
The crimson red eyes returned. However, it was too late for Jade to continue along her plan. In-between the moment of clarity that Jade had and
something forcing her back into this state, she saw that the magma in front of her was cooled off. She saw that it was no longer thick, moving magma, but just hot stone. Jade’s eyes then widened. Her mouth wanting to speak, but all that came was a scream of disbelief. Added to that, she then, in plain sight(mainly due to the pink streaks in his hair), saw her ex-boyfriend grab Alicia and the unconscious Katalina, and take them god-knows where away from Jade.
“NO THIS CAN’T HAPPEN!” Jade roared, making an effort to do something before all was ruined. As soon as she took a step, she felt that sharp pain. Her legs felt intense pressure and she was about to go down, but through sheer willpower, Jade stopped her body mid-fall. Her arms were dangling mildly and Jade’s head was looking down. Her back was aching and the blood from her eyes, nose, and mouth was falling to the ground. She saw and she blinked a few times. Each time that she did, blood clouded her vision. She shook her head and found herself vertical. Jade took a giant for Scout, and a giant step for the raging bitch inside of her, arms raised, mouth unleashing hellish scream.
Until she wasn’t.
A flash of bluish green went off in Jade’s back, the thrill of lightning being sent through her body. Jade’s mouth shrieked louder than ever. Among that, her head turned and she saw Ashton behind her.
”When did he..?” Jade didn’t know. She didn’t have time to register it. The same moment that she had felt that surge of electricity being pushed into her body was the same moment that Jade had proceeded to fall face-first to the wet, cracked ground. Her eyes slowly faded into the back of her head. As she fell, Jade saw the slight of everyone. When her eyes were about ninety-percent closed, she saw the hint of a shadow in front of her. She didn’t know what it was, but it’s not like it mattered. Jade was unconscious, her body laying flat on her stomach.
Grant had spent the last minute or so pacing back and forth. His mind occasionally heard from hearing what the others were saying to his own stressed out thoughts. In his mind, he was frantically stressing over about how he might or might not be able to see Olivia again, or his sister. He didn’t know what was going to happen to him. He didn’t know if they would find a way out of here, or if they were going to die with each other. Grant had no reason to believe that he would get out, or that any of them were. He had no idea what was going to happen and he was freaking the fuck out about it.
When he was pacing towards the vines, Grant saw Alice touch it. That caused him to stop and saw that it was so razor sharp that it pierced her skin. Immediately, Grant stopped his pacing. He simply froze in place, eying Alice, trying to asses if she was all right or not. He held her in high opinion. She had always been nice to him, always talking to him when others didn’t. Like Olivia, she was one of his closest friends. So, when he saw that she was hurt, Grant felt worried. He was always one to worry about others.
Stepping forward three paces, Grant heard Alice speak. He stopped, and looked at her. She was asking if anyone had any kind of power that would be helpful in getting them out. Grant, knowing he had some kind of power to that effect, looked to Tessa and Malcolm. He knew Mal had healing powers, so that wouldn’t work. Grant couldn’t recall if Tess ever told him if she did or not, though maybe she did. Earlier in the day, Grant remembered something about her mentioning invisibility. Perhaps he was just imagining it. Today has been quite the day as it was, so maybe he was wrong.
“I, uh,” Grant spoke, but Mal had taken the floor first, citing that he couldn’t help with the destroying of the vines. Again, Grant would speak,
“I don’t know if it’ll help much, but I seem to be able to repel objects,” Grant spoke softly and nervously,
“I mean, I was able to send an Xbox One controller against the wall and completely reduce it to pieces.” Grant said,
“I probably won’t be able to use all my strength because of my arm,” Grant lifted his left arm as slowly as he could so he didn’t alert the pain in it.
“It was fractured earlier today. Tessa did the best that she could, but the sling broke earlier” Grant said, gripping his injured arm.
He didn’t want to say it because at the time, it was a bad time for him, but his father, Wesley did it. He gripped his arm so tightly that the sling that Tessa did for him was snapped in half. The pain in it wasn’t as bad as before, but it still hurt Grant when he was raise it too much, thus why he tried not to move it all that much.
