Under The Sycamore Tree (A Liam Dunbar Fan Fic)

Jealous

Anais' POV

I ran through the dark and empty hallway. The clicking of my boots against the floor echoed. I reached the entrance to the Boys Locker Room only to see a paramedic laying unconscious on the ground. I crouched lower, I was about to place my index and middle finger against the man's neck to find a pulse but before I could even have the chance to, I heard shuffling from the inside.

"What did you do to me?" I heard Brett's voice. That means he's not alone. He's talking to someone.

"You were cut with a poison blade" A familiar voice answered back. Violet. I clutched my dagger tighter. If you're wondering where'd I get it, I made a quick stop to my locker. I know I shouldn't place any dangerous weapon in my locker, especially that we're in school but like I said, I always keep on in case of emergency.

"It was laced with wolfsbane" she continued then I heard a slight whooshing sound. "It won't kill you... but this will."

I peeked through the door to find Brett, his body was on the ground while Violet stood there, in front oh him, hovering over him with her so called talisman that turned out to a thermo cut wire. The wire glowed red and Brett crawled away from her but didn't get that far.

"Why" he coughed "Why are you doing this?"

Violet kicked Brett's arm and made his chest collide with the ground with a loud thud. I cringed and felt my blood boil. But I have to wait for the right moment.

"Because you're worth a lot of money, Brett" Brett tried crawl away from her.

'Not now Anais, just wait' I told myself.

Violet placed her weapon against Brett's neck. He started choking. I took a deep breathe and stood up from my hiding spot. I hid my usual celestial dagger on my jacket then brought a Chinese ring dagger from my boot.

"Hey Violet!" I called out. She looked through the mirror in front of her and threw one dagger at her. I aimed lower, my dagger hit the back of her left thigh. She cried out in pain and loosened her weapon on Brett's neck. She took out the sharp weapon piercing her flesh. She looked at me with rage.

"You'll regret that" she screamed. She threw the dagger back at me. I caught it before it could pierce my chest. I spun around and threw it right back at her this time piercing her hand. She let out a loud cry and her deadly weapon fell from her grasp. She stumbled through the floor clutching her right hand. I walked over to Brett and removed that damn thing around his neck.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. His eyes were glowing yellow.

"Wh-what.." he struggled to let the words out "What are you doing here?" he managed to say.

"I'm trying to save you" I said as I swung his arm over my shoulder.

"No" he coughed, "Go, just go" but I shook my head.

"No, I'm not leaving without you" I said then practically dragged him out of the boys locker room.

Suddenly I felt something wrapped on my neck.

"Sorry to end your little love fest, but I have work to do" Violet said. Brett fell to the floor coughing as both of my hands tried to struggle my neck free.

"Anais—" Brett said.

Suddenly I felt the string heat up and started to glow red. My heart raced as hell and I thought this will be the end of me. I shut my eyes tightly and opened them again.

No! No way! I will not die like this. I will not die on the hands of this bitch.

I quickly grabbed my Celestial dagger under my jacket. I unsheathed it and collided the blade on Violet's side. She let out a loud cry that echoed throughout the whole room. I retreated back my dagger and  hit her face with the back of my dagger. I felt the string around my neck cool off. I touched the thin line of string and broke free from it. Violet clutching one of her side,crimson red liquid coming out of her side, staining her shirt.
