Wednesday
I texted Liam as early as possible on Wednesday morning to know if he would be able to take me to school since Jack was still angry at me
"Will soon be on my way" he texted
"Okay" I texted
"And should I get you that donut?"
"Yeah, thank you"
I watched in silence as Jack rushed out of the house and drove out of the compound and I shook my head. I might not be sure of any other thing in this life, but I was sure that Sarah doesn't love Jack. It was fully written on her face and I wondered why Jack couldn't see what I was seeing
A car horned in front of the house and I picked up my bag and headed out of the house.
"Good morning" I said
He smiled at me and his deep green eyes turned muddy in the middle
"Good morning" he replied and helped me to open the car door "You're looking hot as always"
"Thanks, and you aren't bad yourself"
He cocked his head and smirked while I watched every single second of it in slow motion
"Here" he tapped me and I came back to reality "Here" he repeated as he handed me a brown paper bag "This is me making it up to you"
"With a donut?" I asked as I took a bite out of it
"That you're crazy about"
"Whatever" I rolled my eyes.
"Have you heard about what happened this morning?" He asked
"No, what happened?"
"Do you know this guy... Aaron?"
"No. What happened to him?"
"First answer my question, do you know him or not?"
"Maybe. I think I've heard his name before, and was he not one of the students that graduated last year?"
"Yeah, he was"
"He has this dirty blonde hair, light blue eyes with full lips" I described
"Yeah"
What happened to him?"
"He was found dead in the woods this morning"
"Oh my God!" I said shockingly and the half eaten donut that was in my mouth involuntarily fell out
"You aren't as shock as me"
"I doubt that" I said as I threw out the half eaten donut "What happened to him? How did he die!"
"The same story"
"You mean he was bitten?"
"Exactly"
""By some wild animals in the woods?"
He sighed heavily and drove into the school carpark
"That is the story they are telling us" he shrugged and parked his car
I didn't know how he was going to feel if I told him about what I saw a few days ago, what if he called me a freak and stop talking to me.
"And...do you... believe the story?" I asked slowly while watching his reaction
"Maybe a little. Since there were marks on their skin. What about you? Do you... believe the story?"
I looked away from him for some seconds and thought of a better way to tell him what I saw
"Maybe" I said
"Maybe?
"Yeah, maybe because..." I trailed off
"Because?"
"Because I saw something some nights ago"
"You mean you saw a wild animal?"
"I think I saw a wolf to be precise but I don't know because I just woke up during that time and I might I've hallucinated it"
"And what if it's true? What if what you saw was the one attacking us?"
"Then, we will have to report it" I replied
The school bell rang, both of us got out of his car and headed to our different lockers
------------------------------------
During our second period, which was English language, I noticed that Darcy wasn't in class which was strange since she had never missed one before
"Miss know it all isn't in class today" I whispered to Liam. He looked up and checked Darcy's empty seat
"That is strange, don't you think?" He asked
"Exactly what I'm thinking"
"I hope she is okay"
"It's not as if something bad will happen to miss know it all "
"Everything isn't about book Irene"
"Not when we're talking about Darcy"
"Cage!" Mr Williams called out my name and I looked up "What was I saying?"
How am I supposed to know that?, I thought and scanned the board to see if the answer might be there
I hated being in this type of a situation and I was desperate for an answer
"He was talking about the hyperbole" Liam told me but I had no idea how he did that because when I looked down at him, he was looking at Mr Williams
"You were talking about the hyperbole" I replied
"Sit down" Mr Williams said and continued his teaching
I sat back down on my seat and shouldered Liam when Mr Williams wasn't watching
"How did you do that?" I asked curiously
"Do what?" He asked with a confused expression
"What you just did"
"I don't know what you're talking about" he whispered while smiling
"It was like you talked into my mind kind of, it was amazing"
"How can I do that?"
"I thought you did"
"I didn't"
"Miss Cage" Mr Williams called my name again
"Sir" I said and got up
"To the front of the class"
"Oh, I'm sorry" Liam whispered as I was leaving my seat

The fact that I might lose to Amara and put my race under his foot forever was terrifying.Alex spoke to the crowd while I stood by his side, smiling at people that were doing everything possible in order to catch my eyes----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------"Are you nervous?"

Alex asked with his thick voice. All of us were dirty and we really needed a good, long showerI pouted my lips and said "It's okay"He smirked and continued walking "The memorial is tonight" he said to Darrell that was on his left side "Go tell everyone""Consider it done your highness" he said, bowed and scrambled away"What memorial?" I asked him when we entered our room"It's for the people we lost during the attacks" he replied"Oh!" I gasped and remembered Darcy and Tanner. They were the ones that rescued me when my parents house was attacked some weeks ago, but now they were no more."I hate losing people too" Alex said and brought me back to reality.I sighed heavily and said "Are you going in first?

His men might be out here"Even though all of us were still sad about what happened to Darcy and didn't want to leave her in an unknown land, we realized that we do not have an option but to listen to Alex.After running for half an hour, we slowed down and started working normally.I was looking at nowhere in particular when I saw something in the air, it was projecting our way, at Liam to be precise."Liam!" I called in horror and launched myself at him in order to push him down. The arrow hit a tree and Alex screamed "split up"I rolled off of Liam instantly and we both got up. We ran in the same direction and came across about two hundred vampires. We were surrounded and there was no way we were winning against them.My back was to Liam's and I could feel his anger

We all stopped on our tracks and formed a circle with our backs to each other.The Blues were coming towards us with their syringes on one side while the vampires were coming towards us with their fangs protruding out of their mouths on the other side"Don't be far away from me" Alex whispered to me "Watch out for the syringes" he warned all of us and roared"Attack!"The way he screamed attack was a replica of how Adrian Sargon had screamed his, hundreds of years back and I wondered if everything was going to end for us the same way it ended for Adrian and his armyAlex and Jack's fangs and claws were ou

If I counted the number of men that were in the hallway right, there were fifteen huge men there.I looked back at my captive and whispered to him "Go to them and tell them that the B-Lord is in trouble and they are needed" he nodded his head "You do this, you live. You betray me, you die" I said venomously "Go!"He ran into the hallway and shouted while breathing heavily "The B-Lord is in trouble

He called"Forever" the whole gathering chorused.I guessed that was their slogan"Blues!" He called again"Forever!""I want to introduce you to our friends here, they came from the other side of the world" we waved at them and they 'whoa' at us "All of us have given up hope. We thought everything was a lie, we thought they wouldn't make it here but just few days...just few days, they showed up. Welcome them once again!"He motioned to us to sit down and signaled to the singer to continue her music.The singer had a very beautiful voice but the song wouldn't make it in our side of the world.

The lady trailed off "according to you people, yes. The B-Lord will like to see you after your first meal""Okay" he replied and the lady leftWe were served a different meal, but it still tasted the same to me"What were you and Jack discussing when we got here?" Alex asked when we were almost through with our food"Oh! Jack told me something.

Their scent is in the air"I sniffed in the air "it's Jack's scent I guess""It's stronger" he said and sniffed in the air heavily "We have to leave now"Even though the only scent I could perceive was that of Jack, I still got up and followed him out of the room on tip toesDarcy, Sabrina, Liam were all waiting for us at the entrance of the hut and I looked around for Jack"What of Jack?"
