~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alastor paced in his bedroom, it had been 4 days since Thaddeus disappeared. Since it happened. Alastor had seen Thaddeus run out of the house, the tears in his eyes. That's what confused him, what snapped him out of his hatred for his cousin.

Alastor had went into Thaddeus's room, seeing the body of a young girl. Alastor could feel his breathing quicken. He'd done it. Thaddeus killed again.

But this one couldn't have been intentional, after all Thaddeus wouldn't have been to emotional afterwards if he meant to kill her. Alastor had went downstairs, feeling as if nothing was real as he turned to Zagen.

"Thaddeus- he..." Alastor said, struggling to find the words. Zagen seemed to know what Alastor meant, he pushed him out of the way as he went upstairs. Alastor followed, but going into his own room instead of Thaddeus's.

He couldn't stand seeing the dead body, he just couldn't. ' Damn it, why am I like this?! ' Alastor thought, sitting on the floor against the wall. ' One minute I'm all tough, ready to kill Thaddeus and the next I'm wimping out over a dead body. '

That was 4 days ago. They still hadn't gotten any word from Thaddeus, and Alastor was starting to worry. Even though he hated Thaddeus deeply he was worried for him. Alastor knew Thaddeus wasn't mentally stable, and killing again must've thrown his mental health down the drain.

Alastor sighed, he had to get over it. He grabbed his backpack and started to school. He was seriously dreading today. It was already halfway into a new month, so he was expecting Ms. Price to appear.

Alastor sighed, walking slowly. He stopped in his tracks as a knife went flying towards his face. ' What the- ' Alastor looked around, there wasn't anyone around that he could see. Alastor grabbed the knife, it had gotten stuck in a wall.

It wasn't cheap, way too fancy for any regular person to have it. ' Is Dolus trying to get rid of me? ' Alastor thought. The knife had initials engraved in it, A. P.
He put the knife in his backpack, continuing on his way.

Alastor had made his way to school, going through his first few periods with no hassle. That was till he came to his 5th period, the one that he actually liked. After all Athena was in it. Alastor zoned out once got inside, sending Athena a quick smile. "Alastor Anderson?" The teacher called. "Here." Alastor said, snapping back to reality just in time to hear the teachers next words.

"Athena Parker?" It suddenly hit Alastor. The engravings on the knife... A.P. Athena Parker. ' WHAT?! But why? I've never done anything rude to Athena, I really liked her but she's out here trying to kill me! '

Alastor zoned out again, going half the class doing nothing. "Anderson." Alastor perked up, looking at the teacher. "Go to the office, Ms. Price is here." Alastor sighed, getting up and leaving the class.

' Of course today she'd come today. The day I'm already out of it, I have to deal with her. ' Alastor went straight to the guidance counselors office, sitting down on the couch. It was a few minutes before Ms. Price entered the room.

"You were supposed to go to the office." She said. "Yeah well, I didn't want to. I'm just coming straight here from now on." Alastor said, shaking his leg. He still couldn't get over the knife situation. ' Maybe it was a coincidence? It has to be, Athena wouldn't want me dead. '

"Everything alright?" Ms. Price said, sitting down in a chair across from Alastor. "Yeah." Alastor lied, Ms. Price gave him a 'yeah right' look. Alastor sighed before he held his head in his hands, looking down.
