Its force was terrifying, given that a web of cracks formed on the ground beneath its fist. I rose from the ground, but before I could run, its foot was already cocked for an attack.
I failed to protect myself.
A force that knocked out all the air from my lungs sent me flying into the shelf behind. A few books and a box of papers fell onto my head. I summoned my chains in its direction, grateful that I hadn’t taken off my pendant. Its eyes closed at the points of impact. It grabbed the chains and wound them around its forearm and began dragging me. It grabbed me by the collar and lifted me off the ground. It crushed the chains, the air lingering with orange smoke a repulsive salty smell similar to that of spoiled eggs. Its green-yellow iris's scanned me.
I prayed to God, hoping that he would forgive me for my sins and accept my soul into heaven. I

CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
At weapons training, I was set to spar with Davin, the ginger-haired guy who'd caught me staring at him in the showers."Begin!" shouted Mr. HulioI summoned my chains successfully, though I'm sure Davin didn't have to close his eyes to summon his. We circled each other. I went on the offence by swiping for his legs. Davin leapt into the opposite direction. The momentum of the attack pulled me forward."Control the chains David, not vice versa," instructed Mr. Hulio.Davin just stood there, an amused smirk on his face. His posture was like that of a parent observing a child who thought they were smarter than them. I spun around and brought down my chains in a diagonal attack. When they were within a hair's length of his person, Davin leapt forward, closing the gap between us within seconds. As if paralyzed, all I did was watch him approach and shoulder me in the chest. I fell back, the curving white line on both sides of my peripheral vision.As he
CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE
She was in the form I had first seen her in.A slender woman with cerulean blue eyes and high cheekbones. Her dirty blonde hair seemed damp.Her legs were crossed, one on top of the other. A sinister smirk cut her face as if she was aware of something everyone else wasn't. the man next to her had his hands behind his back and his mouth was tightly shut as. His eyes were so wide they seemed like they were about to pop out of his head."Okay, time for bed.""Awww, but daaad, I'm not tired yet!""Me neither!""Well too bad, you have school tomorrow and your mother and I have worked so time for bed.""Come on girls you heard your dad...hey hey! Clear the table first."The sound of clanking porcelain filled the intense silence in the living room. Several footsteps thumped up the staircase. The sound of water and someone drinking the latter was followed by a switch of the light, leaving the moonlight as the only source of light
CHAPTER THIRTY TWO
"You fuckin idiot. This is bad, yeah, this is fucked up. You fucked up kid, big time."Amero was desperately dragging on his fourth cigarette as he paced up and down the Director's office.The Director was seated on his chair. I sat on one of the chairs across from him."Relax Amero, the boy didn't know.""Relax? Are you fuckin kidding me?!""Watch it, Deputy. I understand the gravity of the situation but it would be wise for you to remember who you're talking to."Amero stopped mid-stride. He pinched the space between his eyes and scrunched up his face."I'm sorry sir."The Director looked at me,"Are you okay David?"I nodded."Tell me what happened. What made you go down there and how did you find out about that place?"I told him everything. My meetings with Raven and her request. What she said the Director did to her parents. The dream with the eyes.The Director sighed."Remember

CHAPTER THIRTY
I waited for lights out, each moment felt like an eternity. Just like the night before, when I was certain that everyone in the dorm was asleep, I snuck out. I jogged to the orchard, which was a few meters to the left of the teacher's quarters, and placed myself behind a group of trees.As expected, Amero was smoking his last cigarette of the day on the porch of his room. His room, fortunately, was on the ground floor of the Gothic-style building. He tossed the butt, entered his room, and soon after switched off the light. I waited another twenty minutes just in case he wasn't a quick sleeper.I crouch-walked to the foot of the building. The sliding glass door was open. I silently crossed the threshold.I was attacked by the damp, yet the warm smell of whatever it was Amero smoked. Definitely wasn’t Dragons tail.His body steadily rose and fell beneath the blanket...I scanned the messy room. Something shiny entered my peripheral vision. The
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
I don't know why I expected to find her there, but when I arrived at the pond, the high probability of Raven's absence was fulfilled.She was most probably hidden in her secret place from the view of the authorities and everyone else. It was a free period between history and mechanics.I couldn't wait till the end of the day to talk to her, but it seemed like I would have to try my luck then. I would also sit in the library. Hopefully, the events of our first meeting would replay. With more attention on my part, of course. this time, I would hear her out.The bell for Mechanics was going to ring soon, so I decided to return to class.I turned around. It seemed that something in the tree had subconsciously caught my attention.It was white and rectangular. An envelope, I noticed. I removed it from the two crossing branches it had been sitting on.Inside was a letter.'It is my biggest wish that you stumble upon this one day. Hopefu
