My Tribrid- Xavier Thorpe

Xavier

During the whole time in Miss. Thornhill's class, Xavier kept staring at me, I gave him one glaze and I could see guilt in his eyes, which made me very confused but I just shook it off and turned my attention back to the front. 

"I know all of you are excited about Saturday which is why I haven't assigned any homework" Miss. Thronhill said. There were a lot of 'Yes!' that filled the room "But I do still need volunteers for the decorating committee. Anyone interested, come and see me up here." she add. As I was about to leave the room, Wednesday stop me in my tracks. 

"Come with me" she said as she grab my wrist pulling me along. She started explaining how she believes that Xavier was the monster and that she need to see his art den. As we waited outside in the distance waiting for him to leave and once he did, we waited a few minutes before entering. 

"Why am I here?" I asked her

" Just in case he shows up I need you to distract him. Xavier didn't get those scratches do to fencing. He's hiding something." Wednesday said. 

"If something was wrong, Xavier would have told me" I tell her 

"Maybe" She said as she opened the door. When she turned on the light, there were hundreds of pictures of the monster. "Every artist needs a muse, I suppose" she said. She picked up a picture of the drawn monster "Xavier, just became much more interesting." stuffing the picture into her coat.  I rolled my eyes and followed her out. For us well more for Wednesday this is all the evidence she needed so far, as we shut the door, Xavier came into view

"Wednesday, Ariella" he said as he got closer

"Xavier" Wednesday said

"Hello" I say smiling at him

"What are you two doing?" he asked

"Nothing" Wednesday answered "We just saw you come out this way" I nodded my head in agreement

"What is this place?" I asked. Pretending not to know.

"It's kind of my private art studio. I cleared it out, fixed it up, so Weems let me use it." he said

"How very entrepreneurial" Wednesday said

"We would love to see inside" I say

"Yes, why don't you give us a tour" she said

he shook his head "Not right now. It's a total mess." he said

"I shadowed a crime scene photographer last summer. I'm not easily fazed" she said

"I killed someone" I say both of them turned to me tilting their heads 

"Nice!" Wednesday said

"It was an accident" I say. Being truthful, it was my first kill and it was after my mother died.

"Bummer" she said. Xavier shook his head at the both us but he smiled at me

"Right. Maybe another time. Why were you two looking for me?" he asked

"We wanted to go over Ms. Thornhill's homework assignment" I lied

"She didn't give us homework, remember? Why are you two really out here and the truth." he said 

"Actually, Ariella wanted to talk to you about something and I just came with her to find you. Now, that we have I must leave" Wednesday pushing me towards him and walked away, leaving him and I alone.

"It's a good thing you came because I wanted to talk to you as well" He said 

"Why don't you go first" I say 

"Did you tell Wednesday about the Nightshades and where it was located?" He asked me 

"No but I wouldn't put it past Wednesday that she found it herself. She knows about me" I tell him. 

"The other thing is, I have been having nightmares and it's this creature, I have been drawing it. Last night, it got close to me and got me on the neck in my dream, when I woke up the scratches were there. It felt so real. It was like this time it could see me but that's never happened before" he said. I pulled him in a hug 

"I'm so sorry that you are having nightmares. I saw the drawings of creature that you have been seeing. It's real and it's the monster that has been killing people in town, it's what killed Rowan that night at the fair. The next day I looked inside Wednesday mind and saw everything. Rowan was trying to kill her something about that she would be the one to destroy Nevermore. Rowan would have killed her if that monster didn't kill him." I informed him "I know he was your friend-but he cut me off 

"Rowan wasn't my friend. I knew he was up to something and he had been acting different that's why we kicked him out of the Nightshades." Xavier said 

"Wednesday and I are trying to find the monster and put a stop to it. If I saw the monster in person I could be able to get into it's mind or if I had something of it's than I could find it or find out who she or he is" I say 

"You can do that?" he asked me 

"Xavier, baby. I'm one of the most powerful witches in the world and forever will be. I can do anything." I say as we walked hand in hand back to the Acadamy.
