The New Girl

Chapter 37: Home

It was already an hour, Voldemort hasten his steps towards the car alongside with three of his men. They made to open the car door only to hear four gunshots. Each bullets hit each tire.

They all turn only to see Annabelle walking towards them while dragging a dead bodies with her.

"You've got to be kidding me, she killed all of them?" Voldemort lips parted in terror. Just how strong is she?

His men shoot at her but Annabelle protected herself and shot the men dead even Walter was shot in his stomach leaving Voldemort standing alone.

Annabelle dropped the dead body with her before him. "This guy hurt my boyfriend, I made him crave for death before killing him and yet, I'm not satisfied.. not even one bit" She stepped closer. Her voice dripping with venom.

Voldemort secretly bought out a knife, staying alert.

"What should I do little man. The devil in me isn't satisfied" she stopped walking and look up to him. Voldemort swallowed hard. "Should I take it out on you?"

As she was close enough, Voldemort swing the knife to her neck but she stopped it effortlessly. "I guess I have my answer"

The next thing that was heard was the scream of Voldemort renting the whole place.

At dragon's, Ricky stood near his window as a smirked stayed in his lips.

Bianca came from behind and wrapped her arms around his neck. Drawing her lips to his ear, she whispered. "Don't worry babe, everything will be just fine. We are killing two birds with one stone right now"

She was the one who anonymously led Voldemort to Annabelle. Luckily for them, they found her at Ethan's..

They heard some murmur of the other mobsters coming from the main hall. They both got out to check what is going on.

Their eye widened with shock as they watch a figure walk in. On her right hand was the head of the person they had thought would end her. She threw the head of Voldemort before them and laughed darkly. She raised her head to Ricky and Bianca, who was staring at her in total shock.

"Nice try" she muttered, having a grin on her face.

(NEXT DAY)

Ethan jolt up from his sleep when his mom knocked on his door.

"Baby, I thought you promised not to wake up late again.. so please tell me you're up already" Mrs Serena's voice sounded behind the door.

Ethan's face squeeze with confusion. What the hell happened last night? He look around the room and felt a bit strange.

"Ethan dear" Mrs Serena called again.

"I'm up, I'm almost done!" He answered and heard her leave. His eyes widened remembering the incident last night. Annabelle! He spotted a note on his table.

*IT WAS ALL A DREAM, NOTHING HAPPENED LAST NIGHT* were the word written on it.

"Scar" Ethan pinched the bridge of his nose.

In the next moment, he jumped down the stairs with his school uniform on. Before Mrs Serena could say anything, he kissed her cheek lightly. "Bye, mom"

"Your breakfast! and what's with bruise on your face?!" she yelled but the boy already stormed out. She let out a sigh.

Getting to school, Jennifer couldn't shake out the feeling last night. Annabelle is probably dead by now. There's no way she'll be able to beat thatan judging from how deadly he is. She had treated her father's hand last night and couldn't sleep afterward. She wants to report to the police but something in her didn't let her.

Is it because of Ethan? Come to think of it.. this was Annabelle's problem to solve not hers and also.. she can now have Ethan to herself.

Her eyes settled on Ethan as he restlessly walked throught hall. He ran towards her.

"Jennie have you Annabelle?" He asked looking worried.

"I don't know where she is and maybe she probably won't be coming to this school any longer" She blurt out without knowing.

Ethan frowned. "Huh?"

"I mean, I've not seen her today" her face looked paled. Ethan sweep his hair backwards and sighed.

"Where is she?" He muttered.

"What happened to your face, did you get into a fight?" Jennifer asked.

"It's nothing" he replied and left.

Jennifer left out a breath.

"Hey have you seen Liam?" Selene came to ask and Jennifer turn to her. Why are they looking for someone?

"No" she replied.

"Oh God Jennifer, did you sleep well?" Selene asked  noticing her red eyes.

"I'm fine" Jennifer spoke and left.

Selene pouted and then smiled when she spot Liam walking towards a hall.

Ethan spot a familiar car and walked towards it immediately. Annabelle stepped down from it same with Scar. She almost jerk when she saw Ethan coming.

Ethan gaze moved to Scar first. "What you did last night was totally not fair Scar. And do you really think a note would convince me that it was a dream.."

Scar grunt and shrugged indicating he was only asked to do so.

"I asked him to make you fall asleep.. not the note though. He did that himself" Annabelle spoke and swallowed when his gaze turn to her.

"Why did you do that?" Ethan asked.

"Actually.. I.. I.. didn't wanna.." she paused and stared at him like a child. "I didn't want to scare you"

Ethan shifted his gaze to Scar. "Never do that again" he said and Scar grunt. "I mean it"

Scar kept quiet.

Ethan return his gaze to Annabelle. "We need to talk" he clinched his jaw.

Getting to a corner Selene stopped before Liam with a smile. "Hey handsome"

"Are you stalking me now gangster? Cus I don't get why I have to see you everyday" Liam said resting his back on the wall behind him.

"You can't avoid me boyfriend. I had a dream today, we got married" Selene squealed nad Liam jaw practically fell on the floor.

"Are you serious right now?" He muttered.

"That means we are made for each other.. so can I kiss you?" She asked. She love teasing this guy before her.

Liam's lips curved up one side, and in the next moment he pinned her against the wall. Selene eyes flew wide open. He pulled his face close to hers, his warm breath hitting her face. His both hands was on wall on both side of her head.

"It's actually the other way round. Can I kiss you for real.. I mean really hard. Right here, right now?"

Selene swallowed and could feel her heart trumping so loud.

(AIRPORT)

A plane landed softly on the runway, and a tall, imposing figure stepped out, surrounded by three bodyguards. He was dressed in a sleek, well-tailored suit, His hair was styled backward, and his dark gaze scanned the surroundings with cool efficiency. He walked towards the waiting car, his hands casually tucked into his pockets. His aura, full of venom and authority.

He stopped and smiled with his eyes close, feeling the breeze hitting his skin.

"Hmm.. finally home" he muttered.
