Victor was one of the last to know.
Why would he know, he doesn't keep tabs on the students! He tries to keep as far away as possible to them; the less who know about the "cult", the better. And he really couldn't care less about their romance life or family life or just their personal life, period. That's what he hired Trudy for. That's why he didn't understand what "Peddie" was when he heard Amber and Joy talking about it countless times.
Peddie.
Humph.
What a stupid word. What does it even mean? It's not in the dictionary. According to Eric, it was a boarding school in America, but he doubts that's what the two girls were talking about. They attend a perfectly good boarding school here! Why would they ever want to go there?
He spent the next three years desperately trying to figure out what Peddie is. Is it a code word? Is it the name for the kid's little group they had?
He wasn't informed until the last year the students would live in Anubis house. Everyone had left, as far as he knew. Little did he know there was still two students still waiting to be picked up; Patricia and Eddie.
He stepped into his office, rummaging around his pocket for the key to his cupboard when he realizes it's not there. He sighed and began to retrace his steps. He followed his path for 20 minutes before he found it, laying in the thick grass right by the road.
He stood up straight after bending over to pick the warm (from laying in the sun for so long) key and was just about to turn around and go back to Anubis house when a bright flash of red hair catches his eye. He peered for a better look over the thick hedge and sees- what? Is that Eddie and Patricia kissing?
He opened his mouth to yell at them but closes it when he remembers they're not his responsibility anymore. They're graduated.
Victor watches until Patricia pulls away and dashes into her waiting taxi. It zooms away within minutes. Eddie stood there for a few minutes with a dejected look on his face until the taxi was out of sight. He stomped his foot. "Dammit!" he exclaimed, running a hand through his blond hair.
Victor began to walk away at that point, when the word "Peddie" began to form a meaning in his twisted mind. "Patricia and Eddie?" he asked himself as he opens the door to Anubis house and stepped inside.
Children.
So foolish.
A/N: I was quite at war with myself before uploading this. See, I wrote the first 5 chapters today because I was bored and I'm like "NO I'M NOT GONNA POST IT. But, alas, I am weak.
Next, expect Amber. She was fun to write.
Since I uploaded twice today, I believe a review is in order. Please?
I'll see you.
