Our Future

Chapter 13

Seeing the state in which Mrs. Finch is until my heart aches. I can't imagine what it's like to lose a family... a daughter but it must be the most devastating feeling ever.

- Just call her and tell her not to go near this school and that there is something or someone hunting people like her.- said Liam.

- Enough of this monster stuff, please.

- If she comes here, at least she will know what happened to her family... to her daughter.- he said, showing a small encouraging smile to Mrs. Finch.

- I'll call her for you.- said Liam. Mrs. Finch turned on the cell phone and dialed his daughter's number, then handed the cell phone to Liam. 'What's her name?' What is your daughter's name?

- Quinn!

Although the school appears to be closed, we hear footsteps in the hallway and Mrs. Finch believes it was her daughter who had seen her call and who had come to visit her at her place of work, but it could be seen on her face that she was afraid of what we might do to her daughter, so she takes the powder that was on the board and throws what's left of the powder on our head, thus incapacitating Liam and Scott who just fell to the ground.

Before the two of them could stop me, I left the room and ran after Mrs. Finch because I didn't believe the person out there was his daughter and I didn't want her to get hurt because she was an innocent person even though what she had done to Liam wasn't right.

- Quinn.- said Mrs, Finch as soon as she reached the end of the corridor that gave access to the entrance door of the school.

- Get away from her, she's not your daughter.- I shouted at the end of the corridor, where Mrs. Finch was sitting against one of the walls.

- I'm looking for someone, someone like me.- said "Quinn".

Before I could get close to Mrs. Finch, "Quinn" had dug her claws into Mrs. Finch. When I finally got to her side, I put both of my hands on the wound so it wouldn't bleed too much.

- You killed her... You killed my daughter. You killed them all!" cried Mrs. Finch, while "Quinn" advanced towards us.

-Tell me who it is!- exclaimed "Quinn" in front of us, this time taking my sweater making me leave Mrs. Finch and was getting ready to attack me with her claws when she suddenly screamed in pain and left us alone.

- Mel!- they shouted behind us and suddenly Scott and Liam appeared at our side.- Are you okay? Did she do something to you?

- Just a few scratches but I'm fine. Mrs. Finch isn't here, we have to help her!

- I'll stay with you. Liam, go find "Quinn".

- We have to face it together and if I find Aaron first? How do I face them both?

- Liam doesn't hurt to be afraid, but you can't let the fear stop you.- he said looking at Liam and giving him a smile.

- You've got this.- Scott said and Liam left the school looking for "Quinn".

- Mrs. Finch we'll call for help but you have to resist, please," said Scott. While Scott tried to calm Mrs. Finch, I noticed a tattoo you had on your arm and pulled up what was left of your shirt.

- Scott... Look.- he said making Scott look at the tattoo on Mrs. Finch.- Mrs. Finch, you need to activate your healing process.

- We have to get her out of here, someone might show up.- he said looking around us.

- Let's go to one of the classrooms, we'll be safer there.- Scott said and together we helped Mrs. Finch coming out of the hall and we entered a classroom.
