"Sam. Come check this out." Spencer says, nodding her head for me to come join her.
"Sure. Just let me finish checking out the latest piece of equipment Hanna made." Hanna smiles at that as she tugs my undershirt to make sure cover me completely. "So is this like what pros wear? Kinda like Under Armour?"
"Kinda like that. I realized you guys have the gloves and shoes to take on things but you don't have anything to use your entire body as a weapon, not to mention to actually protect you from attacks. So I thought what I made something like a body suit." Hanna scans my body. "Okay...now place your right hand over your left breast, just above it." I nod and touch just above my left breast. Suddenly the undershirt tightens a bit and it grows sleeves, covering my arms. "Good. Now throw some punches and tell me if anything feels off." I throw some punches. The shirt feels right around my body.
"Feels good actually. Thought it would be tighter."
"Oh. You mean the tighten before the sleeves came out. That's the shirt getting use to your body. Now…" Hanna steps back and delivers a punch to my gut. I step back and look at Hanna with shock.
"Wow. I barely felt that." I punch myself in the stomach. "It's like the blow…"
"The pain will spread throughout the shirt, so one spot won't be the focus point for the blow. Now place above your left breast again." I do and the sleeves retract and the shirt loosens a bit. "Good. Wear this at all times. It's easy to wash as well but I made extras just in case. Paige and Aria will get these as well."
"Are there bottoms to these?"
"Of course there is silly. But I don't think Spencer would want you stripping in front of her...plus I want you alone when we test them." She shoots me a wink and I blush. "Still cute when blushing short stuff."
"Whatever Peach." I smile at her and give her a peck on the lips. "Alright, I'm going to see what Spencer wanted."
"And I find Paige and Aria. Also, I think Emily was looking for you earlier. Wanted to talk to you about some report."
"Right. See you later Peach."
"Bye short stuff." Hanna pecks me lips once more before leaving. As I am walking to Spencer, she gives me a smirk.
"What?" I ask but I can already tell what this was going to be about.
"Nothing. You two are just so cute together."
I give her a playful shove. "Yeah yeah. So what's up?"
Spencer turns her attention to her laptop. "Remember I told you that I been watching this weird vlog lately?"
"Yeah. Some vlog about some student right?"
"Yeah. Laura Hollis. She attends Silas University."
"Never heard of it."
"Well you wouldn't. It's in Austria. Anyway, she's been making some videos that caught my attention." Spencer clicks the mouse button on her laptop and a video starts playing. "Just listen to this."
There was three girls in the video. Two redheads, one of them look like Shirley Temple while the other had a shorter hair. The last girl had long, honey dew hair. They was staring at a milk carton and a bowl of cereal on the table. "See? Blood. In the milk carton. In my creepy roommate's milk carton." She turns to the two redheads. "So she's gotta go right? I mean...this is like a death threat or a health code violation. And the time for Carmilla to go." I stop the video right there.
"There's more to the video." I can hear Spencer say but I am not listening. Carmilla? In school? What the hell is she playing at? "Clearly this Carmilla chick must be a vampire or something right? That's only the tip of the iceberg."
"Wait...that's not the part you wanted to show me?"
"Well yeah but there's more." Spencer clicks the mouse to the video and drags the little thing to a certain part of the video.
It's the redhead with the Shirley Temple hair speaking. "It's what happened with all the other girls that disappeared?" Wait. Did I hear her right? Disappearing girls and Carmilla's there? Oh shit.
"People go missing all the time from this place." Spencer clicks a tab and show me stories of Silas University. "This place is weird. We had to hack their servers to even get this. Place is all hush hush about missing people it seems."
"Okay. So people are going missing and it's possible that this Laura girl is living with a vampire." Spencer nods and I continue. "I'm guessing you are showing me this because Marcus wants us to go to Austria and do something about it."
"Yup. He kinda got an email about it. The email asked for you according to him." Spencer clicks under tab and there was the email. I start to read it out loud.
"Things are about to get interesting here. Suggest you send Butterfly over here before things get too out of hand." I rub my face. "So someone there asked for me personally." I already know who it is by the damn nickname.
"So seems we are sending people to Austria. I'll inform Aria to start packing." Spencer says, getting up from her chair.
"And Paige."
"No can do boss." Emily's voice comes out of nowhere. "Paige and Mona are investigating something downtown. People been hearing weird music and stuff lately. All of that happening around the area where that rift was. Looks like it's just you and Aria. Also, I need to talk to you about something."
"Can it wait Em? Gotta start packing for my trip to Austria." I say with fake peppiness.
"Hey. Austria's not that bad." Spencer interjects.
"I rather it not wait but sure. I can talk to you more about it when you get back. I need to do more test anyhow." Emily disappears from our sight and Spencer joins me at my side.
"I'm worried about her. She hasn't been sleeping lately. Whatever she has been working on, it's keeping her up." Spencer says with concern.
"Watch her. Make sure she isn't dabbling into something bad and that she gets some rest." I look over to the screen, the video playing over in my head. Looks like we are going to college.
