Chapter 2: Assignment
*Victoria's P.O.V.*
We all walked our way to our own section and started finding our own research thing. I was unable to find my own research about vampires and wolves, I wanted to use the computers to be easy but there are no vacant seats.
I was looking around when suddenly my eyes caught a book about werewolves and in my luck, below it was a book of vampires. I quickly took the books and turned to look for my friends. But none of them are around, I started to worry and become nervous every second without them visible in my eyes ....bringing my clostrophobia out.
I heard someone whisper my name from behind but no one was there. I again heard my name and quickly looked at the direction of the voice, a blurry back figure stands behind a secret door, he motioned me to go over and without any hesitation, I ran to 'em.
I finally reached him and realized it's Josh, standing behind him there is a big secret pathway to some kind ofsecret room. It was so creepy as well. Josh guided me to the long hallway and there I found my mates looking around. I held the books tight as I slowly examined some of the chemicals displayed on the cabinets.
"This is so wicked awesome!" Joshua exclaimed as he picked one of the green chemicals gathered on the table.
"Hey, put that down. That may be dangerous!" I scolded. He nodded and gently placed the chemical back down to its position. I looked around again and I saw a chemical, not just ordinary chemical but its glowing. I slowly picked up the chemical forgetting the thing I just warned Joshua. Someone bumped me from behind, I suddenly dropped the chemical. It was smoking and a familiar figure formed from the smoke.
" What the hell, looked what you've done Andre." I shouted at him as soon as I turned around.
After a minute, something echoed from the room behind the door. I walked closely to door, I slowly looked inside and turned on my cell phone to make some light. And suddenly, a bunch of bats flew out straight at us. We all panicked, running around. I stepped on the chemical and the glass where the chemical was, poked through my shoes and straight to my foot, I winced in pain as my friends helped me up and out of the secret wall.
We all struggled to go out because the lights are off and the library is way too long and wide for us to go out quickly. My foot is burning like hell that I've been stepping on a burning coal and rocks.
We are probably near the exit of the library when suddenly someone grabbed me by my shoulders and turned me around, losing my balance but my friends were able to help me gain my balance.
"Who dared enter the secret hallway to the laboratory of our principal?" He asked with a deep voice you always hear in movies but still creepy.
I gulped." We're terribly sorry sir, we found it open so we thought we may check it out." I said politely, slowly lowering my head down.
"Well then, don't you ever, ever go back inside that lab, okay? It's too dangerous for you teenagers. "He said, and with a slight bow, he turned to his heel and walked away. We turned to our heel and headed out.
We are on our way home and still, the nightmare that we've been through is still haunting us. That creepy lab and that creepy guy. He really doesn't look familiar to me and to my friends.
"Guys wait, what about my assignment? I dropped the books in the lab, now I don't have my assignment." I planted my face on the palm of my hands.
"It's okay Victoria, We also dropped our book so no worries because you're not the only one who doesn't have an assignment," they assured me which kind of helped me to keep calm.
We finally reached our house; I struggle to get out of the van. I looked back at them and waved. I turned around and went inside the house.
I headed straight to my bedroom. I threw my bag on the corner of the room and hopped on bed. I looked at my foot and a bit of glass is still poking through my skin. It looked very painful but I really can't feel anything.
I hopped out of bed and find something to remove the small glass in my skin. I went to the bathroom and finally I found a twisser on top of the sink. I grabbed and cleaned it then went back straight to bed.
I tried to slowly yank out the piece of glass that is planted on my foot. As I slowly pull out the glass, I barely feel the pain right away.
"Almost there." I thought to myself as the glass is nearly out of my foot.
The broken glass is finally coming out but the glass I was expecting that is going to be covered in my own blood but it was miraculously clean. I carefully examined the glass and it has a mysterious shape and symbols on it.
I gently put the broken glass in a small clean container and I kept it inside my cabinet. I hopped back in my bed and plugged my ear phone, listening slow beat music as I slowly drifted into my sleep.
~~~~ ☀ Morning ☀~~~~
I woke up by the sound of my friend's screams out the window, I groan in annoyance. I looked at my clock which said 6:30 in the morning. Why are my friends up so early when our class starts in 8?
I jumped out of bed and went straight to my window. I looked outside and saw Mia and Cathy screaming my name.
"What!? What?! I'm awake! Why are you guys up so early?" I asked, dramatically rubbing my eyes.
"Hey! Remember our assignment!? Let's go back to the library and do our assignment!" Cathy exclaimed. My nerves came to life. So i nodded and raced to shower and do my hobbies.
I have finished cleaning up and prepared everything for school. I grabbed my backpack and headed downstairs. I found my mom and Brandon catching them senses since they just woke up from the same reason.
"Hey mom. Hey Brandon" I greeted them and kissed mom on the cheeks. I was about to run out of the house when mom called me.
"Hey honey, where are you going? You haven't eaten breakfast yet" Mom said, standing up from her sit and walking towards me. I looked straight at her and going to tell her the truth.
I gulped." Mom, I'm going to continue our assignment in the library" I said politely and she nodded understandingly. I peck her cheeks again and turn to my heel. I rushed out the house and to Cathy and Mia.
"Hey Victoria, So can you run now? We're going to be late to the library, if we weren't there as soon as possible, we can't use the computers!" Mia explained, crossing her arm above her chest.
I nodded and didn't say a word. We all started to run, I can feel a small prick like tiny needles poking my foot but then I still continued to run as fast as I could.
I ran and ran faster and faster, the longer we are running, my friends are barely breathing. I stopped and waited for my friends.
"We didn't know you're a runner" They both panted, catching breathe beneath their words. They had regained their breaths.
"How in the world aren't you dying to catch your breath ?" Mia asked.
I shrugged." I don't know, maybe my brother is an athlete so maybe we got that agility. It's in the genes." I replied sarcastically. They rolled their eyes. in a moment my instinct suddenly told me that they are planning something like a race.
After a moment, my instinct are right, they really are planning to have a race with me since they started running and leaving me alone in the middle of the road. I gave them 10 seconds to run and then there I was, I followed them from behind.
I successfully reached them with no difficulty. I was so ahead of them, I looked at them and can see that they are trying their best to run faster. I giggled and started to run faster, not breaking my sight off of them.
After a while, I can hear them screaming something so I stopped on tracks and gave them a confused look.
"BEHIND YOU!!!!!" They screamed in sync and I looked behind me, there is this speeding car which is probably a meter near me. I closed my eyes. I felt my hand was pressed into a steal and the impact vibrates through out my body.
"What the hell just happened" I mumbled under my breath, opening my eyes to reveal both my hands are pressed against the hood of the car, my hand print deformed the from portion of the hood,
"Dude!! That was amazing!" Cathy exclaimed.
"What amazing, I nealy Died!?" I asked confusingly, glaring at her.
"Victoria! You stopped the car from hitting you! You really got that muscle up there huh" Mia explained, dodging me by the elbow.
After a while of figuring what the total crap just happened. A guy hopped out of the car and walked straight to me.
"Hey, I'm sorry I almost killed you. Good thing I pressed the break swiftly." He said with his raspy voice.
I smiled." Well actually you should have killed me already if my friends didn't tell me to turn around" I said sarcastically and smiled to my friends. He rolled his eyes and looked straight into my eyes. His eyes are changing colours like green to brown, brown to yellow and straight to red.
My eyes got wide and that's why he looked away. After a while he looked back again with his eyes back his normal colour green. I stared at it for a minute when my friends interrupted me by dodging me by their elbow. They s gave me an evil grin. I gave them an annoyed look and remembered that the guy is still there standing in front of us.
I looked at the guy." Well ahmm nice to meet you, we should go now, and I'm Victoria by the way" I said and reached out a hand for him to shake.
He accepted the hand shake." Well I'm Liam by the way" he smiled. My friends cleared their throats. I waved at him and started to run again, probably leaving my friends behind once and for all. I quicken my pace and headed straight the library.
*Mia's P.O.V*
Victoria left us alone in the middle of the road with this guy who is stunned and couldn't break his sight in Victoria's direction. I heard him mumble a word underneath his breath.
"I like her." Is all the word that I heard from him. I looked at him with my right eyebrow up and hands on my waist.
"Look, if you lay a hand on her, you will be floating on the river totally dead" I growled at him and he jerk backward, raising his both hands in the air in defeat. He nodded nervously as I motion him to go away, which he totally understand and scram off.
Cathy and I head to the library with our breath totally gone. We didn't realized how long the distance from Victoria's house to our school is. We looked around to find Victoria in front of the computer with her face totally in shock. Her eyes are wide and her mouth was wide open and shaped as an "O". We snuk behind her to find a clear view. I can finally read the whole paragraph she searched.
It said.
The Life of a Werewolf.
Being a Werewolf is sometimes being great and sometimes difficult, it may sounds strange but I am a Werewolf. This is my first journal that I have written; I can feel that I am going to die the next time I step out of my house. The first thing that I have realized after I accidentally drink 5 drops of chemical called Wermatomine which is a mixture of Werewolf blood and some sort of chemical mixture which is unknown. The day after that I have realized something strange in my body, I felt stronger, unable to be tired, I can jump high and I can change my eye colour to a wolf eye colour. That is why I have stopped school cause everyone knows my identity based on my figure, I was once a nerd butbecause of this blood, I became a cool girl in school and my friends screamed to the world that I'm a Werewolf which made them all scared and some attacking me so i just locked myself inside my room staring at my computer doing stuffs like this. Hope you aren't a Werewolf to live a normal life. God Bless to all may have read this.
-Vicky
Victoria looked at us. "This isn't the result I'm looking for but I wonder if this story is true or not, she lives across country, I hope she'll be fine." She exclamed.
"Well that's great, let us finish our assignments also and let's wait for class to start." Mia and I went back to our work.
