Shade Academy

Chapter 27

I don't know how long I slept but however long it was, it must have worried my guys because I was now waking in what looked to be a hospital room. The incessant beeping of the heart monitor blaring in my ears, the insanely white walls. Like, why white? All it does is reflect light and cause temporary blindness. I mean come on, I'd rather be able to see, thank you very much. I groaned loudly when the light hit my retinas. 

"Anna!, Anna how are you?" I heard Elana's squeal. I smiled. "I'm fine Elana. Why am I in the hospital?" She looked down and fiddled with her fingers avoiding eye contact. "Elana!" I insisted. "Well, after you fell asleep the guys left to help the Academy staff fix things around campus. Someone always checked in on you every few hours. But after a whole day passed then another, the guys freaked. They ran in here screaming and hollering about you wouldn't wake up, wouldn't respond. 

They basically tore the place apart until someone came and got you and brought you to a room. You've been asleep for two weeks. You have basically been in a coma Anna. They guys are worried sick, they've been terrorizing the Academy. Anyone who got in their way, it didn't even matter if it was an accident and someone bumped into them in the halls, they went off. They are all close to expulsion, including your prince."

I gaped at her. Why? Why would my guys be acting so barbaric and mean? They aren't normally like that. They are usually sweet and caring, they'd never hurt anyone, only help them. I was honestly a little angry at them, disappointed in them. I shook my head. "How could they do that?" I whispered to myself. Elana heard me though. "They are worried and scared." Elana tried to defend. I narrowed my eyes at her "No. That is no excuse." I said harshly. "I don't care what had happened to me. That does not give them a reson to be mean and cruel to people. It does not give them the right to lash out at people who are not responsible." 

"They don't see it that way." She answered lowly. I huffed. "Bring them to me." I demanded. When I saw the tears form in her eyes I sighed. "Please." I amended. She nodded her head and left. I sighed again, seems I've been doing a lot of that lately. I didn't mean to yell at her, or hurt her feelings. I'll have to apologize later, after I've dealt with my self entitled mates. How could they ever think what they are doing was okay or justified. I don't care if I had died, they have no right to act that way towards the students of the Academy. 

I sat up on the bed quickly pulling any IV's out and ripping the annoying heart monitor away, I couldn't take that damn beeping anymore. I looked around the room, trying to find my clothes, sighing in relife when I saw them folded neatly on a counter. I quickly grabbed my clothes and showered in the adjoining bathroom. 

After learning I had been asleep for two weeks I had suddenly felt dirty and grimy. Under the stream of hot water I let myself relax before I chewed the guys out. Closing my eyes I took deep calming breaths, trying to make sure I didn't lose my temper and blow the infirmary up or cause major storm damage. I have come to realize that letting my anger get the best of me probably isn't the best course of action, even if it does help in some situations. 

After I was dried and dressed I felt a hundred time better. I felt clean, relaxed and ready. I had to be ready, not only for what is to come with my mates but also what is to come at the Academy. The rebellion was planning something, something that either involves me or the Academy or both. Hell, it could have nothing to do with either and could be something that was just at the Academy, and we were just collateral damage to them. 

Walking out of the bathroom I froze at the sight before me. All Ashe and Samuel were nose to nose arguing. Elana was in the corner folded in on herself crying while Axel screamed in her face. Alex was puffed up in the corner of the room watching the events unfold. I clenched my hands firmly as I stared unbelieving at what was happening. 

Alex was the first to notice me and was one second to running to me before I held my hand up stopping him in his tracks. He furrowed his brow at me in which I returned with a scowl. Then his eyes widened in recognition, fear taking hold. I smiled wickedly before turning back to the other three. Taking a deep breath, I stretched my arms straight in front of me clasping my hands together, then aggressively ripped them apart until they were out stretched beside me; effectively throwing all the men apart and pinning them to the walls. 

"Anna. What are you doing?" Ashe gasped as he struggled against my hold. "Stopping you three dumb asses before I kill you myself." I fumed as I walked up to Axel. "I will start with you." I said harshly. "What in the hell gives you the right to talk to Elana like that huh?" I demanded. Axel opened and closed his mouth like he was going to say something but never did. He did this a few more times before I cut in annoyed. "Nothing. That's the answer your looking for." I fumed. "Nothing, no matter the situation gives you the right to speak to her or anyone else the way you just did. And don't think I have not heard of how you all have been acting." 

I squeezed my eyes shut and shook my head. "I am so disappointed in all of you, ashamed of your behavior." I opened my eyes to look at all of them. "No matter what happened to me, even if I was killed would give you the right to treat your fellow students the way you have. You all four have been tyrants to the Academy the last two weeks, all of you looking at expulsion. How could you all do this? Lose yourselves so completely?" 

All four guys hung their heads, unable to even look at me. "Elana." I lowered my voice, trying not to sound harsh. "Are you alright?" She nodded as she wiped tears from her eyes with the palm of her hand. "Good, now please go, let me deal with them."  She gave me quick hug whispering her thanks for taking up her and rushed out the door like a rabbit running from a predator. 

"Did you see that?" I asked pointing after Elana. "Congratulations you have officially scared Elana away from you." I said clapping my hands. "Who else have you scared away? How many others now see you as nothing but a bully?" I asked in a seriousness. "Just about everyone." Ashe whispered. 

I waved my hand, releasing them from their unseen binds. All at once they started to rush to me, but I put an invisible barrier between us. And all at once they barreled into it face first. I smirked as they fell back on their ass groaning. "That's what you all get for acting like douches." I chuckled. "Anna please. Let us make it up to you." Samuel pleaded. "Make it up to me?" I scoffed. "Oh, no. You all will make it up to every student you ever spoke out of line to or touched in a harmful way." I told them sternly. 

"But that's almost everyone." Alex whined. I laughed. "I don't care Alex. None of you had a right to do what you did and all of you will make it right. Other wise this barrier between us will stay there." I warned. They all looked between each other before their shoulders sagged in defeat. "Fine." Axel huffed. "Good." I chirped. "But none of you will touch me until its done." I said as I skipped out the infirmary and to my dorm. The sounds of growls, groans and moans following me.
