16. The Dark Side

Hey Daisy. Thanks for reading my story and sorry I haven't been updating as I should. I'm still writing and the plot keeps developing. I know how hard it can be to wait, so here is a snippet of my next chapter. Thanks for holding on:)

Alex paced the room waiting for the remaining students to enter. They entered in a steady stream, all looked apprehensive of their circumstances. As soon as all qualified students were in their seats, Alex paused in his pacing. He glanced around, studying each of the students. And in turn, each of the students studied him.

Alex continued his pacing until he reached the back of the room. The students twisted around in their chairs to keep their eyes on him.

"Today, you will be undergoing your last exam. Rules: no talking, no getting up from your seat-"

The door opened again and in walked an agent. Alex watched the agent pull a camera out and start recording the session. Alex glared at the man. He felt sick. "Every single one of you were given a different word. I do not know what words were given, but I'm sure as hell going to try and get them from you." Alex strode towards a blonde girl who was seated more towards the front. "It's your job to make sure I don't get your word from you-" He reached the girl, gazing down at her. She looked up at him expectantly. Alex remembered the hero-worship the student possessed since he publicly opposed Blunt. That would end in this next moment.

He reached down, grabbing a lock of her hair, kissed it, and ran his tongue along her ear. "-at all cost." The girl froze. her breathing hitched in her throat. He pulled from her and gave her a frightened face a cruel smile. "You will stay for as long as I keep you. There will be no food, no water. Anyone who disobeys the rules will exit through that door." Alex gestured towards a door in the back. "I will exit with you and you will face the consequences of your actions."

He clasped his hands behind his back. "I have studied every single one of you. Your fears, your weaknesses weren't hard to discover." He stopped in front of Brian, glancing down at his shirt pocket before looking the teen in the eyes. Brain's hand slapped across his shirt pocket with such force the sound of it echoed in the classroom. Alex smiled before moving on. "Ready." He glanced around at the 30 apprehensive faces peering at him. "Good. Let the game begin."
