She ran her fingers on each marks, the bloods looked real and fresh on her skin. “ He didn’t just ki||ed the students, the marks are outnumbered for just thirty two dead students. I think there are more lives he has taken outside the walls of BridgeGate.”
“ What are you?” she asked.
“ What?”
She turns to Harmonie who was giving her a confused look. “I think I ain’t the only one who needs answers to what I am, I suspect there is something about you no one has. Something we both are yet to know.”
She looked back at the wardrobe, “ Jefferson.” She called with anger and hatred. “ What exactly are you up to? What do you want from us?”
While she drove back home, she rested her head on the window, staring out in the street lost in thoughts.
The marks, the blood stains. She wasn’t much close and familiar with Harmonie, she would have suspected her to have something to do with the wolves or. . . might actually be a wolf too.
But deep inside her, she doubts Harmonie would something so evil. She wouldn’t dare to, right?
As they got to the mansion, she took a deep breath, faking a normal facial expression. She didn’t anyone to suspect anything about her outing.
When she saw there was no one in the living room, she headed to her room. On her way, Edward met her.
“ Hey, Han, where have you been?” he asked.
“ I uhm… I went to meet a friend.” She replied.
“ Harmonie?” He asked, since she was her only friend.
“ Yeah. I was feeling so bored so I decided to meet her. Where is Ace?” she asked, changing the topi.
“ Probably sleeping, I guess.”
“ O-kay.” She yawned. “ I need to take a shower. See you tomorrow.”
“ Yep. See you tomorrow.” They went their separate way.
Marks. Bloods. Hmm.
Before thought about getting some sleep, she decided to phone Harmonie. Immediately she picked the call. “ Any weird voices?” she asked.
“ No, nothing yet.”
“ I figured out all these are happening to you are hallucinations. You see things that doesn’t exist and… somehow it’s gonna affect you emotionally and mentally but despite that, you’ve got to be strong. Wh@ťěver you experience, you are not alone. Bear in mind that there is someone watching you, someone who knows what you are.”
“ But who could that be?” She asked.
“ That’s up to you to find out. I’m sorry this is happening to you, a lot of things happens to me too.” She said bitterly. “ The pains, my hair turning to white, they are the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me.
Believe me, some days aren’t the coolest days in our lives. Give me a call when the weird voices starts.”
“ I will.”

~ AT 12 MIDNIGHT ~

Harmonie has kept herself awake since Hanley called, that was since two hours ago.
She was scared to close her eyes. She was scared to hear those voices screaming in her dream.
But why would all these be happening? And why does it have to be her witnessing it all.
When it turned twelve, her fears increased. That was the period when the voice starts ringing in her ears, when the sound of claws drums inside the wardrobe.
The window blew through her window, blowing perfectly on her skin, causing her to shiver. ” No. No.” She wept. ” Please not tonight.”
” Help me. ” She heard a faint voice accompanied with the wind. ” Someone help me.” She shut her ears tight with her both hands.
But when the faint voice grew a little louder, she closed her both ears with her pillow.
” Don’t come to me, please. I don’t wanna hear you!” She cried louder.
” Help us! ”
” Get away from me! Just go! ”
She stretched her hands to her phone, but when she tries to call Hanley, her phone was switched off. ” No. No, please don’t do this to me. Please on now.”
” Help us! Help us!!”
Then she started hearing the clashing of claws on the walls of her wardrobe. She remembered Hanley’s words, ” When the marks is heard, then it means more lives are being wasted.”
And those are the voices crying unto her for help.
She went to her wardrobe after the sound had stopped. Slowly, she opens the door.
There were stains of blood rolling down on the walls from the newly appeared claw marks and a bloody inscription written on the wall.
“ BLOODY ENTRY.”
