Chapter 3

I quickly open my laptop, tapping away at the student records. I look for him first. For Caine. Because, I know that I sent one of my children away, afraid of some sort of 'evil' they possesed. And, if Caine really is that child… well, I just want to know it if's Caine or not. The curiousity is too overwhelming.

Name: Caine Soren

Date of birth: 12/12/97

Parent(s): Amelia Soren (mother), Jason Soren (father)

Family: No siblings, not aquainted with other family members

Odd behaviour: Caine has an odd ability to captive people and get them to do his bidding. He does not own a power to do this, but people are intimidated by his friends and ability to 'have everything'. Very manitpulative.

Reason he/she is at Coates: Caine started showing unusual signs after birth. He never cried, whined or overslept. Soon, he arrived at school, where he would bully and start fights for his amusement. Later, after he threatened a teacher who had had an affair with him, Mr and Mrs Soren were advised to send Caine to Coates.

Recent Activity: Caine thrives at all his subjects. He is known for his power of speech.

Nothing. Nothing about Caine's relation to me. So does he really count? My child, that I gave away, could that be someone else? Possibly. No knowing whether this is him or not. And, anyway, how could this be? His records state that he is a malicious, power-hungry, malipulative… child. Yes, he's still a child.

But, sometimes, having children brought uo in such a creul environment is worst. They live the harsh life, and Caine seems to be the one who would laugh at others whom are in pain. The one who would rule, as others would be too timid to oppose him.

Next, his accessory. Diana.

Name: Diana Ladris

Date of birth: 1/9/97

Parent(s): Sasha Ladris (mother), Keiran Ladris (father). Mrs Ladris has the legal possesion of Diana. Her father is unstable, due to a health condition.

So Diana's father has a health condition? Never would have known, from the way she strutts her stuff. She's so… heartless, I feel sorry for her father. And her mum. Being a single parent is tough, but with a handful like Diana, things must be bad for her. Maybe Diana isn't being treated right at home, so that's how she turned out the way she is. I don't know. I would ask her, but she doesn't seem the approachable type.

Odd behaviour: Uses looks as an advantage over both males and females. Likes to dominate.

Reason he/she is at Coates: None. Coates was the only available boarding school in the area, and Mrs Ladris 'needed a break'.

Recent Activity: After joining Coates, her attitude changed for the worst. She was smart enough to notice the males falling for her looks, and used that to her advantage. No one believes that Diana was that little girl out of the fairy tales, as now she is aquainted with the school bad-boy and the intimidating side-kick.

So, Diana never used to be evil. The temptation was… too great. She got changed to the bad side.

Diana was that little girl out of the fairy tales no way. I guess she was infulenced too much. And how her mum not want to have a child? Right now, she seems pretty selfish… that reminds me. The 'intimidating side-kick'.

Name: Drake Merwin

Date of birth: 25/8/97

Parent(s): Douglas Merwin (father). Mother unknown.

Another messed-up family. Coincidence, much?

Odd behaviour: Drake takes a facination in killing things.

Reason he/she is at Coates: Drake was caught with a gun. He was taught to never shoot people – omly animals – but he shot a person. His father sent him to Coates to change his… hobbies.

Recent Activity: Intimidates students around him.

OK. Drake Merwin… did he kill anyone? The report says that he… shot someone. Where? Leg? Head? Heart? Why do these reports have to be so inconspicous? I slam down on the keys of my laptop in frustration. A colleage looks at me weirdly.

Calm down, Connie. Nothing has happened. Nothing is going to happen.

You don't know that, a voice in my head pipes up.

Yes, I reply to that voice, and that is why I am leaving note for Sam to find!

But how do you know that he'll ever find them? That he'll ever go looking for them? Because, truth be told – and Connie, you know this – but Sam may never find your 'letters' if anything does happen. And what'll you do then?

I wouldn't be able to do anything.

Precisley.
