The Truth Untold [Louis & Zayn Fanfic]

Chapter 42

Louis's pov:

The headmaster says that I possess all the powers naturally and I just need to be taught in order to realize to use the correct spell at the correct time. Does this even make sense? That must be the same for everyone else right here. These people around me are shit. Adeline took Liam with her to one of her classes and I don't have much information about Marcella but I just know that I'm contempt whatever the hell these old, white haired professors are trying to teach me by trapping me along in this massive room with uncountable books surrounding me.Considerably this could be library but to me it's not more than a prison and like a thief I'll do anything to escape but the thought of my parents has insisted me to sit and learn the whole thing they are trying to enter into this tiny brain of mine.

"Professor, a boy has been slaughtered in the library." A lady, which I guess was the worker by the way she was dressed, shouted in a horrific tone.

There are three professors around me. The lady professor in shock said "what?" and instantly followed the other two male professors who didn't utter a single word but paced to the library. So, I also followed them.

A murder here?

What could this mean? Is it a sign or something?

On the way I heard the lady professor whose name I couldn't remember, conversing with the worker "I thought it's over." 

It means that this isn't the first time something like this has happened.

When I reached the spot, I met with a crowd of students who were not allowed to enter the library, so I was stopped outside amidst others.

When I turned around, my eyes fell on Marcella who was talking with a girl. Her face was filled with scrutiny and concern but suddenly, those expressions faded away when she looked up, now she seemed perplexed. My eyes followed her gaze which ceased on Zayn.

My chest felt heavier unexpectedly at the sight.

My gaze shot back to her but now she was glaring at the crowd and I quickly looked away when she glanced over at me.

I know what those fucking brown eyes of her can do to me which I'm not very proud to admit.

"Hey Louis." She was trying to make her way in the crowd to come to me.

I moved my attention to her without speaking anything. I noticed that it was getting difficult for her to walk in the crowd of the students and I don't know how but my hands automatically offered her help without me realizing. What's happening? What is this girl doing to me?

Last night, I was just looking around for her on that stupid dance night. As much as I hate to admit this, when I witnessed her walking down in those blue dresses, every ounce of my body just wanted to stare at her till my death. It felt like she is the lost puzzle of my body which fits perfectly in my eyes making me complete. But where was she last night?

My hands pulled her gently out of the crowd "where were you last night?" I heard myself speaking.

"What?" Her eyebrows drew in.

"Uh, where is Liam?" I tried to cover up the shit I almost created. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Her eyebrows are normal now. "I am here to ask you the same question." 

Where the hell did this boy go?

Without saying anything to her, I left the crime scene to find my fucking brother. He's so senseless. When the whole school has accumulated near the library, terrified by the murder, my stupid brother has to be found nowhere.

I hope these two fucking people aren't making love at any other corner of the school. Anyone would assume so if they would have witnessed Liam yesterday. He was lost in the Adeline. The way jealousy took over all his body when Adeline started dancing with her guy best friend was something I haven't seen in my brother before but after that he was trying to act so cool but the jealousy couldn't be covered eventually because we all need to agree he isn't cool at all. 

Wait.

I feel like someone is following me.

I turned around to find an empty corridor behind me. 

Actually, I've been feeling this since day one but again, I've no answer for why I've been feeling so.

I always feel like someone has their eyes on me and some energy but couldn't reach me due to some reason or so.

When I turned around to walk ahead to find Liam but I noticed something. Something peculiar, something terrifying.

I saw fucking footprints on the floor in front of me but no one's foot or even body. 

I stepped back and those footprints took a step forward. I feel that some energy I've been feeling. I looked around me just to find those footprints and me alone.

Now, those footprints were moving right to me, my gaze followed it. What is it trying to do? 

"Who are you?" I tried to hide my fragile tone.

The footprints started climbing the wall bringing in my notice something written on it with something which seemed very similar to stone but not exactly stones.

"Follow me." It read.

Follow me? Who is it? Why?

"Why should I follow you? I don't know you." I tried to sound as stiff as possible trying to convey that I'm not afraid of whoever the hell it is.

As soon as I asked my questions, the words written on the wall started disappearing followed by new words appearing which I guess were my answers.

"Don't worry. You can trust me. There's something happening and you need to know about it." I read it again.

What's happening? Should I trust it? Maybe this is the reason for the murders?

As I was trying to make a decision, there was a new sentence ready on the wall. "I've been following you since the day you entered this place just to let you know about this. You need to know this." 

If it's intention was to harm me then it would have done it by now already. I think I should follow. 

"Okay." I agreed.

A smiling face appeared and faded away. I started following those mysterious footprints unaware about what's waiting for me.

[ I hope y'all liked it. Have a great day/night/afternoon xoxo :) ]

QOTD: This is the strange way of the world, that people who simply want to love are instead forced to become warriors.
