Chapter 3

EPISODE 3. FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS.

Reuben and I talked until it was time to head back into the party, he left to be in the company of his friends, I, on the other hand, searched for my roommate, Mikaela must be around the party, somewhere.

While I looked for her, I stumbled on a boy and a girl kissing, they were so engaged in their moments, that my presence wasn't felt, not at all.

"Mikaela?". I called out to her.

I got to the end of the cabinet, after checking the entire room there, only to find her stuck in the closet with the same boy from before. 

She wasn't entirely stuck, my roommate had her legs opened while she sat down pants down on the lap of the boy ...

No one had to tell me, I closed the door and left, I wasn't going to be the one who spoils her night.

Since Mikaela was busy, and there was no one to keep me company, it was also getting late in the night, I decided to leave and head back to the academy.

I got into a cab, and I leaned my head, resting it on the car window, something urged me to look out the window, and I realized the driver had taken the wrong route.

"Sir? This isn't the route I normally take." I spoke to him.

"I know ma'am, this is a shorter route". He disclosed and then continued driving.

Maybe I was overthinking this, I allowed the driver to keep moving the car, however, the moment we got into a darker place, I began to fear.

My legs were shaking and my hands began to sweat

"Sir, where are you taking me too?".  

I asked the driver, the man, however, ignored me until we got to an abandoned building.

"Get down!". The driver opened the car and dragged me down.

I wasn't allowed to say anything, I was taken in, and low and behold, I met with someone, a man to be precise, he had his head lowered when I got there.

"Hello hybrid chase, she's here?".  

The man whom I mistook as a driver said to the man sitting down with his head lowered like he was kinda thinking.

The man allotted his head.

He saw me forcefully being held hostage by the man who had brought me to him.

"Hey, let her go". 

He arose, came close, and pulled me forward my my hand.

He looked at me with grace and admiration...

"Who..... Are... You?". I stammered on my words...

"Oh! My name is Kevin, I am a friend of your parents". He introduced himself after taking me over and forcing me to sit down on one of the wooden chairs...

"My parents.... They didn't tell me any about you". My voice was mild and tender...

It's because I was starting to get scared.

The man noticed that and said to me.

"You don't have to be afraid, I am not your enemy Kiara Benjamin, ". He rubbed his hand on my Head.

"But, my parents didn't tell me about you ". I asked him again.

"Obviously. ... Did they tell you about you being a hybrid?". He spotted my hands shaking and held them, " I am here to help you Kiara, but first, you'll have to do something important for me?". He called for a document to be given to me.

"What is this for?" I shifted the document from touching me.

"Kiara, this is for you". He brought the document closer to me.

"Me? What do I need it for?" I doubted his intentions.

"Because you will need someone to guide you. Do you think the academy your parents took you will save you from what's coming?". He maniacally glanced at me.

A black pen was given to me by him, and he showed me the exact place to sign my signature, Just then he got a phone call.

I tried to peep who was calling, but, Kevin took the phone away from my eyes and left.

I was sitting quietly with the pen and documents in my hand, again, I attempted to sign, however, Kevin came and he stopped me...

"You don't need to sign anymore". He ssa h came and collected the document from me. 

"Why? What happened?" I questioned. 

"Nothing. Just so you know, I got a call from your principal, he wants you back at the academy without any scratch".

He said but wasn't pleased.

I was sent safely back to the academy, at the gate, I met with Kent standing with a provocative expression on his face.

"Young lady, you're in deep trouble"...

He took out his wristwatch and showed me the time, he was acting like my father...

"Sir, I can explain?". I came a step closer to him, but he took out his hand and stopped me from attempting another step.

"I don't need your explaining". He exhaled unsatisfied, " I have no idea, how Kevin came to know where you're, but Kiara, your life is in danger, the soon you know that, the safer you'd be"..

He asked me to accompany him to his office. Anytime, someone gets called into the principal's office, it would either mean something happened or tthereeisa a secret that needs to be told.

He and I walked to his officer, and I was offered a chair, while we went to sit down on his chair.

"Tell me, sir, what are you saying?". 

I opened the floor for questioning.

Kent takes his time before responding to my question.

"Kiara, everything happened when you were born". He said to me, his hands were laid on his table.

"Tell me please," I was becoming anxious....

He was my anxious behavior and asked me not to feel scared, I have never been this settled in all my life, something must be wrong and I'll have to find out...

"Your parents made a promise to someone important to have you and it is almost time for that promise to be fulfilled,".  

He put in and removed his hands from constantly rubbing his desk.
