HERO HIGH 2 - The Mystery

Sam rushed over to Harkin and put her arms around her, "Please don't leave me, I don't want to be a lone again..." Sam buried her face in Harkins shoulder "I know we only just met but it feels like I've known you for a long time, so please make your own decision."

For once in her life, Harkin was at a loss for words. She gave Janet a look that said 'What the hell am I suppose to do?!' She slowly put a hand on Sams head.

"Do what your heart tells you. The kid loves you.I'm sure you know what you should do. " Janet stood waiting to see if Harkin would take the easy way out to her freedom by jumping or stay captive for Sam which might lead to her freedom.

Her shoulders slumped in defeat. "Fine.... I give." She wrapped an arm around Sam.

Hunter walked around looking for Naomi but really he wanted to see Sam. Hunter kicked pebble around bored out of his mind. He wished that Naomi would be found so he could train more. Hunter was still frustrated about being disqualified. He started to think about what Mrs.Mason told him. Hunter usually just rushed into battle without thinking, but now he wanted to start over and start to think before battle. Hunter looked up to see a forest. He looked around. "Might as well go do some exploring."

Sam looked up at Harkin and smiled, "Thanks Harkin, I promise I will be the best apprentice ever." she rubbed her bloody forehead on Harkin's shirt "oops I think I ruined your shirt," she laughed nervously," she jumped off Harkin. "I think we should get back to the school the others might be needing the two of you still and I'm feeling a little light headed," she said giggly.

Harkin sighed. "No... Thats ok.. Ill have Derek take me to my realm to retrieve my clothes. Lets go, kid." She smiled faintly and brushed past Janet.

Hunter was ducking and dodging branches when he saw Sam and Harkin. Hunter yelled out to them."I seem to always run into you 2!"

Sam smiled at Hunter "You must have some rotten luck,"she said before stumbling. "Damn, I should try my powers again maybe I regain enough to at least heal this head wound," She focused her energy and pushed down the cut on her head and it began to glow and heal. "That should help, Hey Harkin let me heal your wounds too."

Hunter ran over to them. "Id call it good luck..." Hunter smiled until he noticed the blood. "Need any help?"

Harkin rolled her eyes. "My dear child, I defeated almost every teacher in your school. I ran a muck for at least a week before I was caught. Ill be fine." She picked Sam up and threw her onto her back. "Its you I'm worried about.. We have much to do so I need you in top condition ASAP." She brushed past hunter, making her way back to the school. "I need to show you something."

Hunter didnt believe a word she said.*I can beat that old hag*
"WELL BYE!!" Hunter furthered deeper into the woods boredly destroying old trees with his new move. *I hope nobody sees all these falling trees..*

Sam scowled "I think I can handle walking...so what do you think about that boy?" she blushed "hes kinda cute right, I think my first day went well, I met a cool teacher got to fight a cute boy and now I being carried by a hot lady" Sam babbled on.

Harkin smirked. "I think you're a little too young to be coming on to me, dear. But I'm flattered. Anyways, the boy... He's... Um.. Interesting. I'd like to cut out his tongue though." Harkin walked into the school. "Which one is your room?"

*Well I need to rest after all thats been going on today* Hunter jumped up a tree using his speed and agility to react to the opposing forces of the ground to jump high. He then located his dorm building from the trees. Hunter ran to his room.*Man, I guess I should call my speed the Flicker Step since it seems like Im teleporting* Hunter loved coming up with names for techniques of his. He lay down staring at the ceiling. *Ill also call my dark elemental power i made Darkraik!*He got excited drifting off to sleep.

"Down the hall to the right...kids are staring at us...I think you cam put me down now" she blushed and fiddled with her figures. "Oh and yeah he kinda is annoying when he talks," she laughed.

She shrugged and dropped Sam. "Suit yourself." She walked to Sams room and waited by the door for her to catch up. "Come on. I have something to show you."

'good god! what a bunch of pathetic wannabes' he thought, assessing the wreckage of the school...'looks like mr issac made mincemeat of these people..just in time to pay my dear nephew a visit..' laughing, the mysterious man vanished in a flash of fire..

andrew suddenly stood up straight.."you!" he snarled, sensing an energy signature he had hoped he would never have to sense again..."what do you want?!"
"i wanted to see if my nephew was ok..i mean, i'd just heard the school had been attacked, see, and i was concerned for my family" a mockingly kind voice said from behind andrew..with another insane laugh, james "inferno" brok appreaed, stepping out of the torrent of fire he had used to teleport there..
"right, concerned for me, like the good uncle you're supposed to be" andrew replied, his voice dripping with heavy sarcasm.."im a big boy, pops, i can take care of myself..how did you know the school was attacked?"
"i also heard something about a 'wedding', no?" james continued, completely ignoring andrew.."so tell me, whos the lucky sheila? is it jane? shame you couldn't invite me, your only living family.."
"you may be my uncle, old man, but you sure as hell arent my family!"

"ouch" Sam cried with a load thud, "Coming!" she got up and ran to Harkin and opened the door. "Well come on in, I hadn't had time to unpack." she laughed nervously, "so what is it you wanted to show me?"

Derek looked at the strange scene that went on before him.

',Andrew, you know this man?''
