Dangerous Mystery

Chapter four

Right after Ann left to go to the toilet, we wanted to start talking again, but Brexi's whimper disturbed us.

We looked at him. His gaze scared me.

He looked like he's scared of something...

I wasn't able to recognize feelings, but I've known one thing - something was wrong.

This feeling of knowledge was killing me... I can't say it was knowledge, but subconscious was somehow whispering to my ear, saying my senses, that something's gonna happen...

And I can't do anything about it... the helplessness... the worst feeling I know...

"It's okay, I think he just wants to go outside for a while." cleared the situation Maggie.

I believed her, she knows Brexi longer than I did.

But I still felt like something is wrong, totally wrong... Brexi's eyes were trying to make us know something we don't know yet, something, that my subconscious can't say...

Questions, fears, and anxieties, which were like weeds, popped into my head. It was hard - it was impossible to get rid of them.

"Sure! Let's go outside. We still have a few minutes until the break ends," Ali agreed.

"Wait, I'll only text Ann, that we'll be outside, right in front of the building," I informed them, and then added: "don't wait on me. I'll catch You up.".

"As You wish," Hedvig said and they already headed outside.

When I looked at the phone display, I've noticed I have the ringtone off.

It was weird because I thought I had it on. I just turned it on again, and then my mind was occupied with something else... something I wish couldn't come on my mind,

because it made me anxious even more.

I was feared, and I felt endangered... this can't happen for no reason, doesn't it?

Ah, I probably muted it when I got the message from my father!

And a strange feeling came again...

It wasn't only a message.

He warned me and ordered me to take a gun and I didn't listen to him...

First time in my life I felt like it could be useful, heh, not even the first time... I regretted my choice...

The gun could give me a feeling of safety, which was an unknown word for me now...

I have been calming myself down with words, that everything is fine...

And when something could happen, ONLY MAYBE, I could fight...

I have no idea why. I just guess I'm tired.

When I looked at my phone clock, the time showed, that was late. Not very much, but at this time is usually dark outside.

I just wrote a message to Ann and didn't think about it anymore.

After I gave my phone back, but this time into my pocket and ran outside from the building, girls were walking Brexi, just a few meters from the entrance.

"I'm here," I noted and they looked at me.

Now I just noticed how dark is it outside, but yet hot weather. Not very hot, but not very cold.

It wasn't usually so dark at that time...

Something still felt weird.

Brexi still had the expression on his face. It scared me.

In a moment of silence, my phone rang. Girls kept talking, but I took my phone to hand again. As I looked at the display, I freeze.

I wasn't able to make a simple move, as my legs became heavier. I was scared, a lot... I was weak and the feeling of helplessness was seeming to kill me...

Fear sprouted in my stomach and I felt like I'm gonna pass out.

I didn't see myself in a mirror, but I knew and felt I'm faded. I felt cold, freezing...

But it was hot outside...

Girls noticed my scared expression, and they came closer to me, paying their attention.

"Are You okay? This is the second time you're pale today-" asked Maggie.

Sally has seen I'm having a phone in my hand and she moved behind my shoulder.

"A message from father?" asked Sally uncomprehendingly.

"What?" Cade asked with confusion in her voice.

I ignored her question. I felt like I'm in trance. My vision got blurry and my head started spinning, but I was trying to stay on my legs, which was with more seconds getting harder.

I only whispered, almost inaudibly, but it was all I was able to do at that moment.

"It's no time for explaining, but please, get in a group with some people and wait there, we're coming! Everything will be alright, just be careful, please, I love you!" I read them the message my father sent.

They knew he's policeman... he's not simply policeman- a bit more, but we didn't get to talk about this and it's unnecessary, plus it's not that my friends should know exactly...

I felt anxious and I hoped this is a nightmare. My throat tightened and I was feeling like I'm gonna pass out.

Cade took the phone from my hand.

"W- what's ac- actually hap- happening...?" asked Nell. I heard she was feared, I was too... we everyone were.

Nell's voice was quiet, it was more like whispering...

I felt guilty... I made everyone here worried about their safety...

But I wasn't able to fall to the ground, try to forget about my surroundings and pray it's a dream...

I was born to be strong. To support.

But still, this didn't change anything... I have been feared, but I have to fix this mess...

"ASK HIM WHY!" screamed Hedvig in panic at me.

Ali was quietly watching, what's happening. I didn't know what was happening, but I felt like it's gonna be bad...

I have been trying not to pass out when on my mind came a thing, that made all the trying of peace in my mind useless...

Ann...
