Struggling up against the dorm room door, Layla was finding it difficult to breathe. Vorden was applying an incredible amount of force with his forearm against her neck and his face was only a few inches away.
"What the... hell’s wrong with you!" Layla managed to groan out.
"Hey Vorden, I think you’re hurting her?" Peter said quietly.
Vorden suddenly started pressing against her throat even harder, Layla was struggling with all her might to get air and if she didn’t do anything soon, she was worried she might pass out.
"The little one didn’t like you, and the other one told me not to get involved, but in the end, I’m always the one that has to deal with things," Vorden said.
Layla’s face started to turn a bright red, the veins on her neck were popping threatening to explode as she struggled to breathe.
"Hey! Seriously Vorden you’re going too far!" Peter shouted.
"Shut up!" Vorden shouted as he turned to look at Peter. "My name is not Vorden either!!"
That’s when Layla saw her opportunity, the grip around her neck loosened a little as Vorden was distracted. She reached down into her quiver that was attached to her waist and pulled out one of her arrows. Then proceeded to stab the arrow into the top part of Vorden’s thigh.
"Arghh!" Vorden cried as he flinched at let go of Layla.
Layla then quickly pulled out another arrow with her telekinesis ability and hovered it right in front of Vorden’s face.
"Don’t you dare move, you psycho!" Said Layla, "I swear if you do, I will not hesitate to shove this arrow right in your head."
Peter started to panic at the situation that was happening in front of him. There was no way he could jump in the middle of these to, he was too scared of getting hurt himself.
"I don’t even know why Quinn asked me to look out for you, if you ask me, his better off without someone like you."
"Wait, Quinn really said that," Vorden said in a gentle tone. "Look, I’m sorry about what just happened but I just want to know what happened to Quinn."
As Vorden said these words his eyebrows were slightly twitching. His personality had taken a complete 180 turn and Layla didn’t what to make of it. For some reason, something was telling her that this boy was dangerous and if she could she would have nothing to do with him.
But right now, she needed to find Quinn, who knew if he was going on another rampage right now. She was the only one that knew Quinn’s secret and Quinn needed her.
"It was just an accident at the combat classes today." Said Layla, "He wasn’t at the medical bay so I thought he was in his room but it looks like he already left. I wouldn’t worry about it."
Layla then recalled her arrow back into her quiver and walked out of the room in a rush. Then as soon as she left Vorden lifted the arrow out of his leg with the copied telekinesis ability and threw the arrow to one side.
"Hey are you alright man, you kinda acting a little strange there?" Peter asked.
"Yeah I’m fine," Vorden said.
"She’s lying to you, did you see how she rushed off like that something’s up, let’s follow her.".
"Or we could try asking the other students who were in the same combat classes as Quinn, they might be able to tell us who did this to him."
"Oh, payback I like it, and then on the way back maybe that pretty girl can get into an accident."
"No, I told you she’s just Quinn’s friend, can’t you see she’s just as worried about Quinn as we are. She’s a good person."
"Well, I don’t like her."
"I agree, we should get rid of her."
"Err Vorden are you okay?" Peter asked again. "You’ve been standing there looking at the floor for a while now.
