The Real Hybrid

Chapter 8

~Scarlett POV~

I wake up and start to get dressed. I decided today I would ditch classes and go to Ethan's quarters for the day. Some I put on some grey joggers and an oversized jumper instead of my uniform. Instead of going to breakfast I make my way down stairs and out of the dormitories and into the main part of the pack house. I go up the stairs to the fourth floor where Ethan lives, I knock on the door and wait for him to answer. He opens the door and continues talking to the person on the other side of the phone. I step through the door and slump down on a sofa opposite a 65 inch television. Ethan finishes speaking to the person on the phone and comes to sit next to me.

"Why aren't you in your classes?" he questions me, I take a deep breath and try not to burst out crying.

"Everyone thinks I'm a monster for putting Rose in the hospital. People are giving me looks like I am a piece of dirt. I don't want to go through a whole day of that. Please can I just stay here all day?" at this point I virtually begging him to let me stay with him.

"Fine! I have to do some work stuff to do today, so I can't stay with you. But I did find an old grimoire you can use to practice your magic. I'll get you a book after I finished work so you can start writing down your own spells." he says to me whilst walking over to the bookshelf and picking up the grimoire. Ethan places the book next to me and starts walking towards the door.

Before he leaves I shout out quickly "Thanks", he turns back to me and smiles. I grab a spare feather pillow from Ethan's cupboard and bring it back to where I was sitting before. I rip the pillow open and let the feather's spread across the sofa, and then I do a simple spell of levitating the feathers. After a while I start to look through the grimoire for a harder spell to do. Then my phone starts to buzz, it's a text from Rebekah. I really don't want to look at in case it's mean, it keeps buzzing as she sends more and more texts. I turn back to carry on finding a spell but the buzzing is just distracting me, so I finally look at it. They say: Where are you? Why aren't you in class? Are you alright?

I reply to her "I'm fine" that's it I don't tell her why I'm not in class or where I am. I carry on doing different spells and try making some up for the rest day. Ethan comes in around 6 o'clock with a book in his hand and gives it to me.

"So how was your day?" he asks me.

"Fine, I created some spells and I also practiced some easy ones. How was your day?" I start to write the spells I created earlier down, so I don't forget them.

"It was fine I got all my work stuff done" he goes over to the kitchen and places the files he was holding on the granite work surfaces. He sits down on the bar stool and swings round to face me.

"I went and spoke to Samantha today. She told me that you are the most powerful creature in the world at this moment. People will try to kill you if they learn about what you are so you have to keep it a secret. Samantha said that you can use compulsion on large numbers on people." At this point I wanted to go and live in a cave - people wanted to kill me. Just why? I looked down at my lap and the looked back at Ethan. "Did my mum tell you what compulsion is?" I kind of want to know more about what this is. "She did, compulsion is where you can make people forget what they already know. You can also tell them what happened instead." I jump up quickly and grab the grimoire's from beside me and rush the door. I turn around to face Ethan again, "Thanks that was a lot of help, and thanks for letting me stay here all day." He parts his lips to say something but I was already out of the door and running down the stairs. Everyone was in dinner at the moment so I go up onto the stage at the front of the dining hall. I stood in front of the microphone and I could her people shouting"Monster" and "Bitch" at me. But I didn't listen to them and just check that everyone was here. Most of the school was people here and they knew what I had done to Rose. I was about to speak before I realized that I will still know what I'd done to Rose. I'm not going to use compulsion. I  coughed and started to speak "I just want to make a formal apology of what I did to Rose yesterday. I don't know what took over me but whatever it was it did. I know I'm a monster but I am truly sorry". I walked off the stage and went over to the table where all my friends were.
