Chapter 83 Your Choice
Layla having witnessed the whole thing was amazed, she knew Erin’s strength, especially after training with her and seeing her fight before but it always seed like whoever she went up against, was no match for her.
Although she had a power level of five, she seed to be much stronger than that. Layla had seen a couple of level five users before but they weren’t this skilful in using their abilities.
Erin then started to walk up to one of the students whose legs were frozen. It was the man who had let his tongue slip earlier and Earl had given him a scolding.
She placed her hand on his shoulder and slowly the ice from his legs started to rise and cover his body.
"Wait, I’ll tell you everything, I don’t know where Peter is, he was ant to et us here a while ago but he never showed up."
"Why is peter hiding?" Layla asked.
"Don’t tell them Ben!" Earl shouted still stuck on the machine. "If you do, you’re out of the gang!"
Erin then gathered another ice spear in her hand and threw it once again, this ti aiming for Earl’s leg. It seed like she had thrown the spear with more force, as the spear stuck into his leg, Earl scread in pain and the numbers once again started to rise on the machine.
This ti the numbers went beyond twenty and rose up to thirty.
The commotion was starting to cause the attention of other students who were busy practising away in the arena as well.
"Thirty, I’ve never got a number that high just how strong is she?"
But Layla knew this wasn’t her full strength, at the test site her strength alone had reached up to the number fifty, she was still going easy on these students.
Erin then looked at Ben and started to form another spear.
"The next one goes in one of your holes and I still need the one your speaking from."
Crazy was the only thought Ben had, who cares if he was no longer apart of Earl’s gang. As long as he worked hard in school, he could slowly move his way up the ladder. This was not worth the pain.
"Wait, please. Peter, we’re not sure exactly what happened but we heard he pushed Vorden into a portal, that’s all we know, we don’t know why Quinn is missing as well."
Of course, Earl was the one who was behind everything, he and his group had given Peter the instructions to push Vorden into the portal. When they had heard the news that two students were missing and confird Vorden was one of them. They though Peter had done what he asked.
Unknown to them, Peter hadn’t actually pushed Vorden but Quinn instead.
After hearing their answers Erin did as she said and walked away from the group.
"Wait, aren’t you going to free us!" Ben shouted.
"The ice will lt in a couple of hours, or maybe soone in the room with an ability can help you. That’s your punishnt for making wait instead of telling this girl what she wanted straight away."
As Erin walked off exiting out of the training centre, Layla quickly followed behind her.
"Thanks for that."
"That wasn’t for you, I just hate it when guys think they’re better than us, better show people like that their place."
Although Layla didn’t completely agree with Erin’s thods. She knew she wasn’t the type to abuse her power to those who were weaker than her.
But Layla had sothing else on her mind. Did Peter really push Vorden into the portal and if Quinn was missing as well did that an he went in after them? She dreaded the thought that there was the chance that the two of them could have ended up on so unknown planet.
Even worse, she feared that Quinn might have grown too hungry and had no choice but to dine in on his friend.
Just then though, as the two of them were about to exit through the doors. The door opened inward and a familiar face was seen. It was Peter.
Imdiately seeing Layla standing there, Peter went running off But Erin had reached out and grabbed him by the collar pulling him back. She then slamd him up against the wall. Before he could even think about running away again. She placed her hands on his and started to freeze him. He was now held up in place on the wall.
Seeing Peter here must have ant he was planning to et up with Earl and the others and judging by his strange actions, what they had said might have been true, but Layla needed to hear it from his own mouth.
"Peter tell us the truth, did you really push Vorden into the portal?" She asked.
"What are you going to do hit ?" Peter replied, "because trust I have already had my fair share of pain. Whatever you plan to do to , go ahead. I guarantee you I have already experienced any pain you can think off."
Erin then started to form a small little needle-shaped ice pick in her hand.
"Really, I’m sure there are a few places I could stick this in which would leave you wishing you’d kill yourself."
Layla then motioned for her to put the ice pick down and was starting to think Erin had other problems.
"Peter I thought they were your friends, you know, every day Quinn would ask about how you were to . He told that if I ever saw anything strange to co back to him. Why didn’t you just tell him, or even just tell us what was happening."
"You don’t know, what would happen if I told you guys? You’d go beat them up, then what? They would just co back for revenge but do you think they would go after you, Erin or Vorden. No of course not, they would go after . So you say you can protect but for how long? Could you keep an eye on twenty-four hours of the day and then what happens when I leave this academy and you guys aren’t there. My whole life has already been decided for even before I arrived here."
Peter then started to break down into tears.
"I didn’t want to do it, I didn’t have a choice."
Layla had clenched her fist and was ready to punch Peter in the face. She couldn’t believe after all Quinn had done for Peter behind the scenes and all though she didn’t like Vorden. She knew Vorden cared for him too.
Seeing Peter’s tearful face, she dropped her hand down to her side.
"You’re not even worth hitting Peter, you disgust ."
She then turned and walked off and had one last word.
"You always have a choice."
