Icy Dictator: Chapter 12

Hope POV

I woke up to the feeling of someone shaking me.

I opened my eyes to see Stephanie, her nightgown on and she was laying next to me "You better wake up, we missed a match while we...you know" I blushed "Which match?" "Kenny vs Platina"

I sat up abruptly "Did she kill him?" ever since he beat the crap out of Andrea i silently hoped that in one of his matches he would die, either that i would kill him with my own hands.

"No...but it was a close call, Kenny took away some of Platina's godly essence but i think she got it back, i dunno" I sighed sadly "What about the match? Who won?" "It was a tie"

I nodded and removed the covers and put on my jeans, black shirt and red cloak. I looked away while Stephanie changed and when she was done we walked down towards the living room. I was surprised to see Andrea and Josh there, Andrea hugged me tightly when she saw me "Hope! i missed you!" I hugged her tightly "Andrea...what are you doing here?!" I asked.

"We're moving out to a new arena, Shirato offered people from Class 9 to help the Class 7 pack up so me and Josh volunteered" I smiled at her "Oh yeah, this is Stephaine!" i said, finally remembering she was here "Yeah me and Josh have met" frowned Stephanie, staring coldly at Josh.

Andrea looked hopefully at Josh "Oh yeah Hope...i got some news....Josh.... he's...sort of my Boyfriend" I stared at Josh then back at Andrea "Your joking...." Andrea shook her head "That guy nearly killed Stephanie!" i said, pushing Andrea out of the way "Why!? Why did you do it? I thought the whole part of this is to try and survive!" Josh looked sadly at the ground "I...I had no choice...if i had spared her we both would have been killed by Shirato....it would be better if only one of us died and the other survived"

"Then it should have been you!" I shouted at him.

"Hope..." Josh put his hand on my shoulder but i grabbed it with my left hand and punched him in the jaw with my metal one.

Andrea screamed as Josh was thrown into the sofa, destroying it.

Josh lay uncoinscious in the remains of the Sofa, blood dripping from his mouth, Andrea ran to him but i stopped her "Andrea don't!" She pulled free of my grasp "Leave me alone Hope!" She then took Josh in her arms and left the Class 7.

What had i just done....I crumpled to my knees and stared at the blood on my metal arm, Stephanie put her hand on my shoulder.

I shrugged her off "I...i gotta go" i marched into the training arena to practise.
