CHAPTER SEVEN: Hidden Secrets
Elliot's P.O.V
"Hey what's the big idea!?" I yell as she drags me through the hall ways "Idiot this isn't the first time this has happened!" She yells back at me, I stop and pull my arm out of her grip "What do you mean? You're telling me this has happened before?" I say a little quieter seeing other hunters walk passed; Violet saw them too and stays quiet until they were out of ear shoot. "Yea dummy that's what I'm saying, I've seen this happen before it was so strange but I choose to stay clear of it because of what happened to the last guy" she says with some fear in her eyes "What other guy?" I ask wanting to know everything now "Twenty one years ago is when Old Crow became the new head master of this place, everything was going fine then a year later which was the year I showed up everyone said he started acting a little odd but no one bothered with it thinking because that's when LEVEL 5's were showing up like crazy and they though he was just stressed and worried but even after the LEVEL 5's he was acting odd for five more years but still no one cared but one did and went to see what was up, but when he kept getting kicked out of his office he knew something was up and started going around trying find out what it was and it turned out he did and went to Crow to confront him but..." she says looking down, I gulp "But what?" I ask.
She lifts her head up and looks at me "He never came back to the mansions, nobody saw him for weeks and I got worried because he was my friend then one day walking down the street I saw him and went up to him hugging him telling him how worried I was and wondering where he has been... the words he said next haunt me to this day, he said 'who are you?'... His whole memory was wiped, he knew nothing about us or this place and I got scared and I went to crow asking about it and he even acted like he didn't know him. There days later he was found dead choked to death by chains in the middle of the street..." she says tears in the corner of her eyes "I didn't try to find out what happened because I was still young and scared that I would end up the same..." I've never seen Violet so emotional, she's always cocky and laid but this was a whole new side no one ever sees, yes she's a ass to me all the time but getting to see this side makes me feel she sees me as someone she could trust. I grab her arm and start pulling her away "What are you doing?" she asks rubbing her eyes "Were getting Ace and facing Old Crow face together!" I say with a grin on my face, she looks at me shocked for a minute then smirks.
Jason P.O.V
I walk around the court yard through the small hedge garden maze full of red roses and thorns; I find a small old wooden garden bench and sit down on it felling the warmth of the sun on my body and the cool breeze on my skin. It was a peaceful sunny day; the wind stops blowing and I feel something isn't right, I listen more carefully and notice there wasn't a sound anywhere. No birds chirping, no sound of the blowing wind or even the sound of the water from the fountain running; something was very wrong. I hear a rustling coming from the hedges but I couldn't see what one, I stood up and looked around and still couldn't see a thing but surely I could feel someone's or something's eyes on me. I turn around back at the bench and was face to face with a black crow with glowing red eyes, it screeches loudly at me and I run. What the hell kind of crow was that!? I think to myself as I keep running, it wasn't a normal crow for sure but I didn't have another one me to fight whatever it truly was so all I could do was run. After a couple minutes I find myself back at the court yard in front of the door to the mansion, I turn around hoping that thing wasn't still following me but there was nothing; it was gone.
I sigh and catch my breath "Thank god no one is around to see that" I say out loud, as I regained my breath I hear smash come from above and I spin around seeing a window smashed opened and something full from above. As soon as whatever it was hit the ground it smashes to bits all over the place, I carefully look at it; it was hard to make out but it was a coffee mug with the Hunters Associations symbol on it. I look back up to see what window it came from and soon realized it was Head Master Crow's office, my eyes widen in shock and run straight into the mansion heading to his office hopping to god he was ok.
I run through all the halls and up all the stairs not slowing down once for air, as I reach the two old doors a push open the doors as fast as I could "Head Master Crow are you ok?!" I yell out once I go the door open only to see a pissed off Crow and a even more pissed off Elliot with both ace and violet standing to the sides giving Mark death glares "What the hell is going on here!?" I yell letting the door close shut behind me, everyone in the room looks at me surprised. Elliot was the first to say something; "Yeah what is going on? How about Old Crow face starts off!" He yells at Mark, Violet steps forward "Yeah start off with telling us why a student here goes missing after coming up to your office and then is found dead weeks later!" I stare at them confused not understanding what's going on. "Look guys stop yelling and lets act like grownups and calmly do this" Ace pipes up trying to everyone calm, "It's far beyond that now" Crow says coldly staring at Elliot which only pissed off Elliot even more.
"Can someone please tell me what's going on!?" I yell over the top of everyone "Fine Old Crow here has something to do with you losing your memory of yesterday! And he has something to do with the death of an ex hunter who found of his little secret!" Elliot yells looking at me, what the hell is he talking about... "I was doing research and it turns out only a Grim Reaper can wipe a memory and that's what happened to Jason and what happened to that other guy before he ended up dead! So Head Master Crow are you secretly a Grim Reaper or are you hiding one in your closet!?" Elliot yells my head starts to hurt and images start flashing before my eyes; they were memories of a werewolf attacking. I fall to my knees holing my head, the pain getting worse as more images appear; Ace sees me fall and rushes over to my placing his hand on my back "Hey you ok?" he asked me but I couldn't understand a word he said because of my head.
"Guys something wrongs!" he yells over the top of everyone else, they look at me all worried "See what you've done! You are giving me a headache from your nonsense!" Crow says "US!? YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME?!" Elliot roars back at him, soon all three of them again were fighting which wasn't helping my head while poor ace was been told to shut up more than once; my head spins faster and the images keep coming even faster and I couldn't take it anymore "Stop it.." everything began to get faster making my stomach turn making me on the verge of throwing up "Stop it" I shut my eyes tight and grip my hair tightly "I SAID STOP IT!" I scream out and in that instead all the lights, windows and glass in the room busted and shattered to pieces straddling everyone. I was panting hard and open my eyes seeing the mess the room had become "W-what happen..?" I asked confused, everyone just stares at me in fear; Ace gets up and backs away from me and grabs the shot gun on his back ready to pull out and shot.
"J-Jason..." Violet shatters "What?!" I ask started to become scared "Dude your eyes..." Elliot finally spits out, I get worried and look down at the shattered glass near me and looked at my refection; my eyes widen in horror they were glowing blood red... Just like a Demon.
