CHAPTER 5 : PRESENT DAY
I sighed when I look on my wrist watch. It is already 10:15 in the morning and my math class was 10. I’m already late but I don’t think my professor would even care if I attend his class. I know they are wishing that I was not in their class anyway. I want to grant their wishes but being an independent individual I need to attain a proper education for my own future. Because I am all by myself now.
I throw my cigarette away and walked towards the Math Building when I decided to attend my class. All scattered students in the corridor make a way for me. They were too scared to make a skin contact with me as if I have a transmittable disease. Their eyes are bored on me while they were secretly whispering as if I cannot heard them.
Same treatment huh…
Well, after THAT incident I became the most popular and talk of the school. I am known as the sole survivor of the tragedy in kidnapped students. Supposedly, I must get a pity from them but as you can see they treated me in different way. Like I was cursed.
I heard them saying that if they get close to me; they will maybe die like my old friends. I don’t know wherever they get that idea. They even named me as ‘friend killer’. That’s why I became a LONER for almost two years.
“Who needs friend anyway?” I muttered to myself. “I’d been alone almost two years and I survived.”
‘You’re not alone. You forgot I am here inside of you.’ A voice inside my head said.
I stopped walking and groaned. “Shut up! I told you that never ever talk to me until we die!” I yelled in full of frustration and I heard her whimpered.
When I looked up, students are looking at me as if I lost my mind. I cussed. “Great! I am crazy to them now.” I said again to myself. “This is a real pain.” I groaned and started walking again.
But this time I was stopped by an aromatic smell. It is somewhat familiar to me but for some reason this is like the first time I smelled something like this. I creased my forehead then shake my head. I think I am really crazy now.
I was in front door of my math class when I smelled them. There are vampires and werewolves among my dearest classmates. When I entered the room, I got all their attention. I can see in their eyes how they despise my presence. They all blame me for the deaths of Donna and Drake. Yes, Donna and Drake were also died miserably in that day that makes me regret for being the one alive. I should be the one that died… not them.
I exhaled a sigh even though they were angry and seeking revenge, they cannot hurt me because I am a human. It is against their law.
Our professor continued his discussion as if I was not here. I grinned at them before I seated. In the middle of the class discussion, some of my werewolf’s classmates excused themselves in so much panic. Then, a foul smell lingers in the air mixed with the smell of werewolf’s blood. Those smells almost make me vomit so I secretly covered my nose. I sensed THAT something in my head became alert. I just shrugged my shoulder and make my focus concentrate to my math class.
***
While I was walking to my next class which is English, I heard some werewolves secretly talking about some rogues entered their territory, killed some of their pack members and captured some humans as their hostages.
Rogues huh…
I know those are werewolves that was abandoned or executed from their packs from some criminal sins. But how can they able to enter our school grounds? It is like a suicide by entering our school. This area was protected by a powerful and merciless Alpha. I heard about him from the werewolves around the school. I never met him and I wish to never cross path with him… because he is Donna’s mate.
He is the one who has a greatest grudge at me. Maybe he wants to torture me like Alexei did to me. I shuddered by thinking him torturing me. It makes me remembered what Alexei done to me and THAT incident.
My breathe starts to pace fast. I am having now a panic attack. The pain is gone but the memories of the past keep torturing me. It is like any moment Alexei would come again to get me.
‘Calm down, Freya. You’re safe now.’ The voice in my head said.
When I look around, students are just looking at me and not even tried to help me. Of course, I am an untouchable and they would never dare to come near me. I felt again to be helpless. No one will ever try to save me again. There is no anybody.
I hugged myself then run into the woods besides our school to calm myself. This area becomes my secret hideout ever since. The green scenery of trees help me relax. I watched as the wind blows the leaves. I sat under my favorite tree and exhaled a deep sigh.
I don’t know if being alive is a blessing for me. My life now is a big mess. It will never be back to normal.
I missed my best friends, Nina and Bella. They are the only one who will listen to me if I feel down. They will never come back. They were forever gone.
I looked the scars printed in my body. These scars remind me of those days. No human knows what I had discovered. I promise to them that I will never tell to anybody that they were existing. I take all the blames to keep their secrets. My friends’ family and my own family hated me because of that.
Now, I am all ALONE.
