Destined For Death - Aysha K (suggested reading txt) 📗

anything but calm.

''What does it look like happened?'' Kieran says sarcastically from my right. I shoot a glare at him and he puts his hands in front of him as a sign of surrender.

''Mrs. Corer came to see why she hadn't turned up for the staff meeting this morning as well as the last two classes and when she opened the door she found Ms. Willsborg like this and well.... the rest is history'' Lucian says.

''You've got to be fucking kidding me, not those sick bastards'' I groan and close my eyes. I'm starting to loose my anger and fustration too quick, I haven't fed in a long time now, only have been surviving on human food.

''What are you talk about?'' Ivan asks. I take a deep breathe before opening my eyes.

''Nothing, I'm not even sure myself'' I say.

''You sounded certain a few seconds ago'' Veronica remarks. I open my mouth slightly so she can see the gleem on my fangs.

''Like I said, its could have been something else, I'm hoping I'm wrong'' I turn around, making sure my back is to everyone. I need to feed soon, otherwise I'll loose control. A few minutes later, a person from the guild came and took Ms. Willsborg's body and sealed the room shut after grabbing evidence that may help us. If I'm anywhere near correct then her death is linked to the disappearnces of the girls.

''What do you think could have caused her death?'' Sam asks as she looks at the photos that were taken of Ms. Willsborg's body. There were claw marks everywhere and a few bite marks. The more I look at it, the more the heavy pit in my stomach churns. I look at Kieran and Susie, signalling for them to follow me. ''Wait, where are you guys going?'' Sam asks.

''I need to talk to these two in private'' I say. I hear Charley scoff.

''Pretty sure you can talk to them out here, in front of us all'' He raises an eyebrow ''Or are you hiding something?''

''I'm speaking to them in private and if you have a problem then wait in the line that's waiting for me to give a shit'' I say and shut the door behind me.

''What's going on?'' Kieran asks me.

''I'm pretty sure you guys know what I'm worried about?'' I say.

''You think they're here?'' Susie asks. I nod my head.

''The signs are there, and as much as I hope its not them I can't deny it'' I sigh.

''I'd hate it to admit it but I agree with you'' Kieran says.

''I want you both you take Mimi and Jack with you, and make sure that they're not on the school property or anywhere near us'' I say ''I couldn't get them in here without raising suspicion''

''Oh.... I'm pretty sure they suspect something'' Susie snorts.

''Just go and do it'' We walk back into the common room and find Bliss and what do you know? Veronica arguing. Don't they get tired of that shit? ''Hey!'' I say to get their attention. ''Hey!!'' I say a little bit louder, but nada... nothing. ''HEY!!!'' They all shut up and look at me. ''Da fuq is going on?'' I ask.

''Nothing, just some misunderstanding'' Bliss grumbles. Veronica snorts.

''She tired to kill me, that's what happened'' She exclaims.

''I doubt that's even likely, because I could have sensed when she was going to kill, so don't try to even lie'' I smirk.

''I wasn't lying'' She mutters.

''Sure, I believe you'' I turn to Mimi and Jack ''Go with Susie and Kieran'' They oblige without question.

''Where are they going?'' Xander asks from behind me. i turn and face him.

''I need all four of them to do something for me'' I say like he just asked me about the weather.

''Care to elaborate'' He says, looking at me closely.

''No, and I'd prefer it if everyone drops it'' I say.

''No, what are you hiding?'' Sam says.

''She's right, we have to work together as a team so no hiding'' Evan defends her.

''Guys drop it'' I mutter softly.

''If you have nothing to hide, then why aren't you saying anything?'' Veronica says.

''I SAID DROP IT'' I shout. The whole room is silent, I can hear the distracting sounds of their heartbeats. I quickly walk out of the common room and into my own.

I sit at my desk with the files of the missing girls in front of me.

All these girls have one thing in common, they're all 17 years old and are human. Why are they targetting young girls? Especially ones that don't know about us? I spend a few hours going over the case, I miss all my lessons but I've done it before so its not anything new. A knock on my door brings me to reality.

''Who is it?'' I ask, covering my notes.

''Me'' Two voices say. I roll my eyes.

''The doors open so come it'' I say and sit back down. I hear the dooropen and close.

''What are you doing?' I hear Xander ask from my right.

''Going over the reports and how did you guys even know where my room was'' I reply, not even lifting my eyes from the paperwork.

''Lucian is here so what do you think?'' He says.

''Okay'' I roll myy eyes.

''Have you figured anything out yet?'' Lucian asks as he takes a seat next to me.

''I'm not sure if its useful or what but all the girls that have been taken were either human or 17 years old'' I reply showing them the missing girls profiles.

''What do you think might have happened to them?'' Xander asks me.

''I'm not sure, for all we could know, the girls could be dead and I honestly hope they aren't'' I sigh.

''Well, Jack said they might have found something'' Lucian says.

''What did he say?'' I ask.

''He thinks he might have tracked down what killed Ms. Willsborg this morning'' He replies.

''What are you guys talking about?'' Xander asks confused. I look at him.

''This morning when Ms. Willsborg suddenly died was unusual and the way she died was too familiar so I asked Susie and the others to go see if its still around'' I say.

''Why didn't you just say it in front of the others?''

''I didn't know if I was right or not, and I didn't want to take my chances'' I yawn.

''Why do you think she was killed?'' Lucian asks.

''I have a feeling that she knew where the girls were or why they were disappearing but someone might have felt that she may spill everything and killed her before she could even talk'' I say. ''And I think that there are more people that know''

''But how could she have done all of that under our noses?'' Lucian asks. I've been wondering the same thing for the last few hours.

''Everyone's found out about Ms. Willsborg's death'' Xander says.

''Well that was quick'' I mutter. Xander gives me a quizical look ''When something 'gossip' worthy happens, it spreads like wildfire and it seems like her death is now interesting to everyone'' I explain and quote the word 'gossip'. He gives me a distasteful look.

''Wll, that's nice'' He bites out.

''Let's just figure out what's happening'' I turn back to the papers in front of me ''And to do that, we need to go find this fucking beast that killed Mrs. Willsborg''
