The Crazy Adventure We Will Never Embark Upon

Let Fight A War!

(MADHULIKA'S POV)
Anannya was discharged this morning. And she's been locked up in her room ever since. She occasionally comes out once in a while, but she mostly keeps to herself. I tried reading her, but her thoughs are so jumbled, its hard to make sence of them. The only thing I've got so far, is an image of a guy. A vampire maybe? But I've stopped trying now. My headache is getting worse by the minute.

Anushka and Sneha are still trying to find out, but Annnya won't say a thing. She says she isn't permitted to. I guess Ms. Hemsly really meant what she said.

I haven't seen Sebastian anywhere either. Hes usually on time, leaning of a wall at the back. Its seems a little lonely without him. Anushka and Sneha aren't in high spririts. They are really curious about what happened, and so far they have nothing. As for the rest of the crew, Chelsea, Jeremy amd Nate seem worried, which leads me to believe they know something. I would try reading them, if my head didn't fell like it was going to explode. Nicolas and Blake haven't reacted much. But even they aren't happy about whats happening.

I'm strating get why Anushka and Sneha are so damn curious. Why is everyone so worked up? And how in the would did that Will guy end up in such a bad shape?

"I'm going to ask that Will guy what happened." Sneha announced.

"And you expect him to tell us everything? If Anannya isn't allowed to talk about it, what makes you think he will?" Anushka pointed out. The chic is right.

"You know Anannya. Sometimes, shes just stubborn about following the rules." Sneha insisted. Ture, bu I don't think thats the case here though.
But it was worth a shot. If everyone was concerned with this matter, it was only natural for us to be on it to. The only problem that remined was - where in the world were we going to find Will. We can't just aimlessly search the boys' doormatory. I'm sure, Anannya had no better idea, Sebastain was no where to be found. And I was doubtful that Chelsea and the others would share the information with us.

But Sneha urged us to try anyway. There was a chance that they might share it with us. Amd Sneha was right. According to Chelsea, Will Suthël, is in ninth grade, and is a Wizard. He has an older brother Greg Suthël who is a sophmore like us.

This made things easy. Each doormatory had four floors. The bottom one was for Freshmen, the second for Sohpmores, the juniors and so on. But the task at hand was still a difficult one. There were about 300+ freshmen guys here, how were we going to locate him?

Might as well just give up. But noe was found ourselbes jn a other problem. We were standing infront of the boys' doorm, after cerfew!

"What are you guys doing here?" I heard a fimiliar voice. I veered around to find a leather clad vampire, with one of his brows rasied.

"Umm, Sebastian? What are you doing here?" Anushka asked.

"I live here. But you three don't. So what bring you here?"

"Will Suthël." I answered. "We're looking for him." He looked at me for a long while.

"Its better to leave him be. They guy is still recovering. As for the guy who did it to him, lets just say, he won't do it again. That all you guys need to know. Better not get into details." He smiled, but there was an uneasiness in it.

"That just made me more curious!" Sneha said once Sebastian left.
And so, it was decided that we'd try to find Will after all. But tomorrow. I could sence The Drunken Master. And Anushka jnderstood first hand, why they called him that. In reality he was a one of the guardians. Also, he was a Troll. No, I mean literally a Troll.

As we walked I caught sight of Anannya. She was talkin to someone. Will!the guys she was talkin to was Will! Lucky us.

Unfortunately, Will did say anything either. Apparently they were under a compelsion spell, without the caster's persmission, they weren't permitted to say anything. Thats way, it was impossible to read them. Also, that was the reason for my headache.

Now, the only person, who knew about the Will incident, was Sebastian.

"May I skip practice today?" Anannya asked Nicolas.

"Why?" He asked.

"I- I'm not feel too well."

"You look just fine to me."

"Just- please." There was desperacy in her voice.

"No."

During the whole day she wouldn't even look at Nicolas, Nate,Sebastian or Blake. They had caught on this fact, too. She avoided them at all costs. Noicolas and Blake couldn't care less. nate and Sebastain didn't mind it much either though.

"What's up with you?" Nate asked. After repated disgusted glances during her combat session wih him, he's finally had enough. What was with her? I wanted to know too. The entire day, she would avoid eyes contact, and if she had to, she would give disgusted glances. And in case of any physical contact, she rected as if she was being touvhed by an cockroach. She would try to behave normally, but she failed miserably.

"I'm fine." She averted her eyes from him.

"You're treating us like we're some kind of monsters." Nate made no attempt to hide his annoyance.

"Well, you are!" Anannya replied. Her answer stunned everyone. What? Why would she say that.

"What have we ever done to you?" He asked.

"What have you done? Its in your nature! You devour other! Suck their blood, feed of their life force!" This seemed to be directed at Sebastain and Nicolas. Nicolas merely, stood there, he cold eyes bearly displayed any emothion at all. Blake acted as if he already knew it. He seemed porund actually. But Anannya's words had hurt Sbeastian and Nate. Like sharp knives.

"We do what me must." Sebastain answered.

"Really? By torturing your victims? You people are twisted!"

"When have you ever seen us do something so demented? I regreat helpimg a bitch like you." There was venom in Nate's voice.

"Just because you saw ONE of us do it, doesn' mean, we all do it." Sebastain added.

"ITS IN YOUR NATURE! Haven't you heard the Buddhist tale? The one about a monk and the scorpio? Where the scorpio kept biting the the monk, but he refused to do anything, becuase according to him, biting was in the scorpio's nature, so he would bite, no matter what the situation. The thing is, that you ARE capable of becoming such monsters! Are you telling me, you never had urges? You did! I'm certain of it." Nate and Sebastian, were speechless. Anannya was tremblimg.

What was wrong with her? She was acting like a complete bitch! How could she assume something about otjer on her own accord?

"Anannya, you should stop," I gave her warning look.

She truned her gaze at me. "Don't be baised just because you like him. You don't know what you're gettin yourself into." There was anger in her eyes.

"I'm Mindworker, I think I'm a better judge of people then you are."

"Ha. You see, what you WANT to see. You interpret your vision according to your own convience. Its not personal. Everyone does it, for us too, even if the evidence is right here, we will percieve it in a way which suits us. Its a fact."

"Excuse me? What do you know about being a Mindworker? How are you so sure of yourself?" Anger boiled deep within me, i'm not a person who gets mad easily, trust me. But Anannya had just crossed the line.

"Believe whom ever you want. You can trust a guy you JUST met, but not you friend?" She asked.

" I believe in you, but not this time. You are just saying whatever you feel like. Accusing people of crimes they haven't done? Do you know how haed it is for them to overcome the fact that they indeed have a monster inside of them? They know! But they tru hatd to fight it. How can you be so insensitive, you of all people?"

"Beacuse its true! And because, unlike your vision, I've seen with my own eyes!"
