Chapter 7: Strange Trouble
Huntsman walked into the school. He had gotten a call from the school an hour ago, telling him that his niece had fallen into a faint during her first class. Fool girl, he thought. Can't even go to school without messing it up. He came into the principal's office and asked the secretary where the nurse's office was. The secretary told him and he went there. When he got there, he was stopped at the door by the principal. "Are you her uncle?," she asked. "Yes, I am. What is the problem?" The principal wiped her brow. "Well," she said. "Your niece had a… accident this morning. She fell out of her desk during class and then fainted. But, that's not the main reason we called." "Oh?," Huntsman said. "The reason why we called you is because when she fainted, something appeared on her neck, as if from no where. Has she had any tattoos recently?" "What appeared on her neck?" Without a word, the principal beckoned him into the room. Lying on the cot was Rose, unconscious. The principal nodded to the nurse, who turned Rose's head to the left, revealing a six point star with the letter D in the middle of it on the right side of her neck. Huntsman caught his breath. No, it can't be, he thought. It's too soon. He can't have claimed her so soon!
