Chapter 10
After school, I had to report to the journalism room. What I didn't know though was that Zaine would be coming with me. I forgot that we were in the same class period at the end of the day. Then again he was in most of my class periods except for journalism, and my extra classes, like art. The ones that he's not in with me Brooklyn is.
When we got there everyone was in the same exact spot as the day before.
"Hi guys," Zaine said sitting down at a desk and pulling out papers out of his bag. And everyone else did a quiet hello, "so I have a new mission, apparently there has been mysterious disappearances lately in the old side of the school."
"Can you tell us how many have disappeared so far," Vivian asked serious.
"Three, counting the most recent of the disappearances, Grace Brullell." Zaine said serious then connecting his computer to the projector and turning it on to show a brunette that looked like a sophomore.
"And… she's human?" I asked looking at the woman in the picture.
"Yes, and it seems that all the disappearances are girls,"
"That's strange… why didn't they take boys too?" Chris asked, "I mean, not that I wanted them to disappear but…"
"I admit… it is strange, but right now we need to look for the missing girls," Zaine said turning off the projector and picking up the file, "these are the pictures of the three girls, now I suggest we split up because the old wing of the school is big, so they can be anywhere,"
When he got over to me, holding out the pictures, he said, "You want to do this mission?"
"Yes, I want to help," I said grabbing the pictures.
"Then I want you to be careful, these monsters… they can be very dangerous if you're not careful," he said with a worried expression as everyone was leaving the room.
"I'll be fine,"
"You don't know that for sure," he said.
"Yes I do," I said pointing to my head, "I can see it,"
"Sure you can," he said rolling his eyes, obviously sensing that I was lying.
"Good luck," I said to him, walking down the hall, but before I left, I heard him say.
"Same here,"
Five minutes later, I was walking down the hall by myself with the lights off. Of course, even with the lights off, I could still see. When I was leaving Brooklyn told me that, apparently, the school wasn't as big as before, actually the wing of the school that we were going into was the old part of the school and, just until recently, the school had a new wing to it. And to be honest, I was kind of excited, I mean, not only did I get to help Zaine but I get to help with a mission.
Then I saw it, it was another one of those visions that I loved so much. Except this time, it was creepier than the last, I saw a monster, with huge bug eyes and it was holding one of the girls. It – it looked like it was going to eat her! Then I notice something, a beaker, I may have been wrong, but I think they were in an old chemistry lab. And luckily I still had my school map. (I know Zaine was showing me around, but I couldn't be too careful, right?). I start running to the chemistry room looking at the map every five minutes. I then see someone coming over towards me, it looked like the y were running, and from their figure, I could tell it was a girl.
"Help!" she yelled, running towards me after seeing that there was a person in the hallway. I remembered that she was one of the girls in the pictures, but not Grace.
"Are you alright?" I asked looking over the girl once I reached her.
"You have to help me! There's other girls and he…"
"Who's he?" I asked looking around to see if anyone was following her, only to find that the hallway was empty except for us, "does he go here?"
"Yes, you- you have to come! He's going to do something terrible to the other girls!' She said crying, then she started walking towards the way she came from.
"Are you sure you want to go back? You might get hurt," I said following her anyways.
"Yes, I have to show you where they are, to-to save them," she said sniffling.
When we got there the girl, who I later found out that her name was Sarah, told me how she was captured by her boyfriend, Declan, and taken to the chemistry room a few days ago, later seeing the other two girls, Grace yesterday.
"He isn't in here, I made sure that when I escaped, he would be out of the room for a couple of minutes at least." She said whispering, and opened the door.
When she opened the door, I was shocked to see Grace and another girl lying on the floor, tied up.
"Hello? Can you hear me? My name is Kristen. I was sent here to find you. I'll tell you about it later, but right now we need to get you out of here, Sarah, help me untie them," I said starting to untie Grace, but then I noticed that Sarah wasn't coming over to help with the other girl, "Sarah, what are you-"
But I stopped when I saw that, behind me, Sarah was locking the door, and next to her there was a guy with dark hair, and he was smiling creepy.
"So you're Kristen, the one that everyone was talking about, like my little power? I can control people, even you if I wanted to." He said coming closer, "I'm not one of your kind, no, no, I am a Declan, and it eats humans, but you see, I prefer girls. And imagine how much strength I can get from a vampire. I'd probably be a very powerful monster."
"Zaine!" I yelled.
"I don't think he can hear you, Kristen," Grace whispered, coughing.
"Don't worry, I'm sure they will come," I said to her, kneeling down trying to untie the rest of the ropes that binded her.
"You think you are going to escape that easily? Then let me tell you something," He said and I turned just in time to see him transform into the monster that I saw in my vision, "guess again,"
Then he launched at me.
"Kristen!" I heard Zaine yell from the door, unfortunately I could see him because the monster in front of me was too big.
"Get the other girls out!" I yelled back at him.
"Guys grab them!" He yelled to the others.
I couldn't move because the monster was holding me to tight. I tried to turn, but there was no budge.
"Let me go! You freak!" I yelled, trying to get free.
"You obviously have a lot of confidence in your group and that mouth of yours," he said sqeezing tighter, "you think I'm going to let you go just cause I got my feelings hurt, Ha! Don't make me laugh,"
"Let her go!"Zaine yelled, and this time I could see him, "I'm warning you,"
"Or what?"
"Or this," I said, and I kicked him in the face and he yelled, and he let go. I got on top of his back and tried to twist his neck and he screamed in pain. Zaine grabbed on to his head as well, and we both twisted, and finally, we heard the same rip that Daren made when they wrung his neck and pulled his head off.
We jumped down from his shoulders just as his body fell to the floor. We looked at each other and I sighed.
"You okay?" he asked looking at the remains of the deceased Declan.
"Yah, you?"
"Oh I'm fine," He said and he looked at my shoulder and I too, looked at it. It had a gash on it, "it's you that I'm worried about."
"It seems that I keep getting hurt in these kind of situations," I said trying to rub some of the blood off but Zaines hand stopped me.
"Don't, it'll only get worse, come on, we need to get to a drinking fountain," pulling me out of the door.
"Why a drinking-" I asked, but he was already carrying me and he was doing that zoom thing, "Wait a minute! I can run myself you know!"
"Doesn't matter, we're already here," He said setting me down and pulling out something from his pocket, "here, take this, and take a drink,"
"But I already had mine for today," I said pushing his hand back.
"It'll help you heal," he said, persistent.
I sighed, taking the small tablet, and putting it in my mouth. I kneeled down to take a drink and he waited. Finally I was done, and I sighed in pleasure of the drink.
"Tastes good, doesn't it," he said taking his sweatshirt off.
"Yah, thanks,"
"No problem," then he swiped his sweatshirt against my arm.
"Hey! Wait it'll get dirty, plus it will still keep bleeding…"
"No it won't see, look," he said nodding to my arm and taking his sweatshirt away.
I look down to see the cut healing and it being a little red when it was done. There was slight blood stain and to fix that, Zaine stuck the sweatshirt under the drinking fountain and wiped it away. I looked down at my arm astonished.
"Thanks," I said feeling my arm, "again,"
"No problem, again," he said and smiled his dazzling smile.
"Stop doing that,"
"What?" he said and he stopped smiling.
"Aren't you messing with emotions?"
"No," he looked puzzled, "why would I do that to you?"
"I don't know, it's just, whenever you smile I just… I just, my heart jumps, you know," I said, "and then when you got mad at me yesterday, my heart jumped too, but that time it hurt. It hurt really bad, like I couldn't stand you being mad at me," I said frowning.
"Like I couldn't stand it when you got hurt," he said nodding.
"Yah, I guess," I said and shrugged.
"Maybe… no never mind,"
"What?" I asked.
"It's nothing,"
"Do you think I'm a bother?" I asked, disappointed.
"What! No, no. Why would you think that," he asked.
"Because you don't tell me anything, I'm afraid you don't trust me, and that you just let me into the group because I had to be,"
"No, it's not that,"
"Well then what is it," I asked putting my hands on my hips.
"Nothing, I just thought of something and I know its wrong that's all," he said shrugging.
"I see, so I'm not a bother?"
"No. Never," he said serious.
"Fine," then I stopped, and thought of something, "what happened to the other girls,"
"Vivian has them," he said not really caring
"I'm not sure if… "I said trailing off and he laughed.
"Don't worry they're fine, right now she is probably rearranging their minds,"
"Is that her power?" I asked and we started walking down the hall.
"Yep, it's the power to rearrange minds, of course Mason thinks it's the cutest thing when she does it, he watches her while she does it. Although he won't tell you anything, you could tell that he's fascinated by her whenever she makes the concentrated face when she goes into their minds."
"Cool," I said, smiling, imagining Mason staring at Vivian with such admiration.
"Of course the only reason she lets him do it is because she doesn't know he's doing it,"
"How does he know when she's done?"
"I don't know, he just does, I've watched them a couple of times and he goes to the other side of the room five seconds before she comes to, it's amazing,"
We got there just in time to see Vivian working on the last girl and, of course, Mason staring at her.
"Hi guys," Brooklyn said under the arm of Chris who seemed to be taking a nap, "we cleaned up the Declan remains, Zaine,"
"Good… Mason? You're drooling," Zaine said with a cocky smile. Which got Brooklyn and I laughing like crazy, what made it even funnier was, it was true.
"Haha, very funny," Mason said wiping his chin. Then his head snapped, and he zoomed to the other side of the room. Five seconds later Vivian sighed and stood up to go sit down in her usual spot.
"So what'd I miss?" She asked, obviously tired.
"Nothing much," Mason said sitting down next to her.
"Mason was drooling," Brooklyn piped in.
"Really?" Vivian said suddenly interested, looking at Mason, "over what?"
"Nothing," Mason said, "Just over the blood tablets in my mind, I'm kind of thirsty,"
"Oh," Vivian said, sounding disappointed, sitting back in her seat.
