The number one rule

11 december

Andrew picked up Keith and quickly walked out the room. The others followed, leaving Dawson alone. They put Keith on his bed and checked if he had any injuries. It didn’t look like it, and he was waking up now. “Rest, we’ll take care of this.” León said to him and then teleported away.

“Follow him! Don’t let him do anything stupid.” Maggie said to Andrew. “I’ll stay here and make sure Keith hasn’t got a concussion.”

                The kids woke up really early and found that the old man was already there. They ate their cereals and hurried back to the living room to continue the story. “Andrew found León in the practice area. ‘We don’t use our powers on each other here… wasn’t that his number one rule?’ León said bitterly...

                “Let’s not break that rule any further. Dawson will have to explain himself when he comes back. If he doesn’t then he’s out.” Andrew said and they walked back to the others. Keith was awake and fine, although a little bruised. “Are you ok buddy?” León asked.

“Where is he?” Keith’s eyes seemed to darken.

“He bailed…“ Keith threw himself out of bed and dodged every attempt to keep him in the room. Andrew reached out to push him back down, but Keith was way faster than Andrew and slipped right by him. He dodged León by running up the wall and climbing out the window. They all hurried to it and watched him land on the ground after a two storey drop without a scratch, he stopped to look up at them and then he ran across the lawn towards the main building.

“Damn it! He’s going after Riley. Tell Caroline to meet me at the library.” León said and teleported away. Andrew and Maggie stood silent, starring out the window for a while. “Why would he go after Riley?”
