Yeah. This is it. 10th chapter. Yaaaaaa.

Chapter 10

Jerome's POV

Fabian hurled himself at Vera. She easily tossed him aside like a rag doll. We all prepared to rush at her, and hopefully knock her unconscious. As we began to run, Vera pulled out a shiny, silver dagger and aimed it toward us. We backed up against the wall. Vera walked out of the room, dagger still pointed at us.

Alfie's POV

This woman is psycho. She is literally watching our every move. Jerome and I were in our bedroom.

"Alfie, it's way too dark in here." Jerome said

"I'll move the curtains." When I pulled the curtains back, Vera was standing outside our window with her dagger in hand. I immediately closed the curtains and looked at Jerome.

"We can deal without light." He said instinctively.

Patricia's POV

This Vera problem is going too far. I pulled Nina into the bathroom to talk to her about it.

"We have to put a stop to this." I said.

"Well, we can't do much with Vera watching us every second." She said. Just then, we heard a loud noise. Nina opened the shower curtain and Victor was standing there. He wasn't embarrassed or in pain, he was just standing there. He calmly walked out, and Nina and I fled for our rooms.

Fabian's POV

I had texted Sibuna to meet me at the clearing. I'm amazed they all came.

"We are being watched." I said.

"Really." Eddie said sarcastically. "I hadn't noticed."

"They want us to lead them to the next mystery." Jerome remarked.

"We aren't even sure if there is a mystery." Amber added.

"What are you talking about?" Patricia asked.

"We haven't seen that creature in weeks. Amber said "Maybe it just gave up." Suddenly, we heard a strange, bird-like sound. Alfie looked up and his mouth dropped.

"C-C-C-Cobier!" Alfie exclaimed. It was true. Cobier was perched on a high branch above us. We all ran screaming from our clearing. Nobody had seen or heard him approach. And we were all 90% positive that Cobier wasn't alive.

Victor's POV

"We are so close, Vera." I remarked. "So close."

"Those kids will lead us right into the heart of the mystery." Vera said evilly

"With Zeno out of the way, we actually have a chance." I said joyfully.

"Now, we just have to break up those brats." Vera said. I heard screaming and running downstairs. I stroked Cobier's fur.

"I think we just have."

Short, but creepy
