Chapter 793 Self Defence Lesson 1: Run!
The man who had attacked was holding onto a baseball bat, and the others who were gathering around had different types of weapons in their hands. What was frightening was the fact that every single one of them looked like regular university students.
There was something off a bit about them, the way they wore their clothing, or the fact that on closer inspection, they were perhaps a little too old to be university students, but from a glance or walking by, they looked like they belonged.
White grabbed hard onto Amy's wrist as she dragged her back through the halls. The night sky was already out, but they were at a university; surely they would run into someone who would be able to help them.
"Why are they attacking us?" Amy asked.
White didn't reply since she was too focused on running and trying to find the next emergency exit. However, based on her actions, she doubted that they were after both of them, and the real target was Amy.
There was an inkling that maybe this whole deal that what was going on with Gary was going to affect her as well.
The sign for the emergency exit could be seen, and White wasn't really paying attention to where she was; she was just following the signs until she could see the exit, and eventually, she could see a pair of double doors with glass, leading to the outside. noVelbIn
"Through here!" White shouted as she pushed the bar, opening the door, and immediately when she turned her head, she had crashed into what felt like a solid wall. She had stumbled backward and let go of Amy's hand, not wanting to drag her down with her.
When looking up, they could see a man standing above with headphones over his head, listening to music, and a messenger bag hanging from his side.
"Please, you have to help us!" Amy quickly shouted. "There are people chasing after us; can you call the police or something?"
It was only then that Amy realized herself; she was too busy running with panic that she hadn't thought to call anyone, and immediately she went to pull out her phone. Rather than contact the police, though, her first port of call was her brother, yet she remembered on the news what had happened to her brother; it would be useless to try and contact him.
'Brother always did say that if I had a problem, he would help me out!' Amy went to click on Kai's name, and as she did, she felt her phone forcefully snatched from her hands.
Immediately, Amy started to run forward and took off her shoes, hurling them behind her, trying to slow the guys down from behind. White did the same as they continued to climb the steps as quickly as possible.
However, it felt like a lost cause, for every two steps they would take, the others would take three, and eventually, it was clear that they would catch up.
"If we just make it up these stairs, then head across the street, we can get some help!" White shouted.
The two of them were exhausted, but they needed to keep pushing themselves, and that they did. They could almost feel the breath of the enemy on their backs as they reached the last staircase.
When both Amy and White had climbed the last step, their exhaustion had gotten to them, as they collapsed on the floor. They wanted to move and tried to get up, but it was difficult.
And that's when White could see a shadow cast from above.
"I guess I should have added more stamina drills to the routine. It is a good thing to note that as there is quite a difference between Altered and humans."
Both Amy and White looked up at the cast shadow. They had assumed it was another enemy, another person getting in their way, but instead, it was a different voice, one they had heard many times and had thought of recently.
"Teacher Crowley!"
"I will handle this; don't you worry," Crowley stated, as he looked ahead, his eyes narrowing, and part of his arm starting to transform. "This is my city now as well, and I will protect its citizens!"
