Bloodyship

Chapter Twenty Seven

Sey's POV

" Is this some kind of party I missed?" Startled by a piercing female voice , I quickly detach myself from Adrian and rush to my feet. When I look up , I lock eyes with a stunning black beauty. Ebony skin , jet black hair. She's dressed in a skin tight leather skirt , black fish net stockings , heels and a crop top to match. Her eyes are throwing daggers my way and I have no idea why.

" Care to explain what's going on here Adrian?" She says. That's when it settles in. Adrian and I were about to kiss and she almost walked in on us. I feel my skin heat up , and I'm sure my cheeks are spotting a blush. I turn to look at Adrian and he's equally shooting daggers at her.

" I'm busy Paige " he snaps at her

" You can never be too busy for me Adrian " she responds confidently. Walking majestically into the small office and wraps her arms around him.

" You should leave we've got work to do for the chancellor " he tries to brush her off and I'm standing there like a zoombie.

" Oh we ?" Paige smacks her lips and start to walk towards me.

" And who is she ?" She stands right in front of me eyeing my attire. I consciously begin to pull the hem of my skirt down my thighs.

" I'm Sey and you are? " I find my voice and confidently asks her drawing out my hand .

" Hm , you smell familiar" her brows quirk up in thought. " Anyways , I'm Paige. Adrian's girlfriend" she responds with a smirk.

" Oh " is all I can say. Girlfriend?

" Yep " the smirk on her face grows wide as she responds. I can understand why

" Alright. That's my cue to leave." I turn in a hurry to grab my things.

" Get to it then " she smacks her fingers. I don't turn to look at Adrian or her. I can't think of any explanation he might probably have for this. And I don't know what to think either. I gather my things and grab as much of the unchecked folders my shaky hands can carry. The room is deadly quiet the entire time and I feel like a deer caught in headlights. All eyes on me but I don't return their stare. After taking all that I can, I quickly rush out of the office , shutting the door behind me. I lean back on it and take in deep breaths. I'm fully aware they can still smell me lingering around but I don't care. After I've seem to catch my breath , I walk out if the administration building were Adrian's office was. Adrian mentioned the chancellor altering our classes so we could focus on the task of finding the culprits. I only had one class today , which was supposed to be this morning and I missed it for a make out session with Adrian. I can't help but feel hurt and I hate how silly it feels.

Since I'm free for the rest of the day I decide to head home. I don't really feel like staying on campus any longer . I'm scared of coming across my best friends and having to answer a million questions. Even more , I dread having to see Paige again. Not wanting to risk it, I leave campus.

I take the bus back to my territory. Once I arrive, I notice how gloomy the weather looks. Signs of a storm approaching. It brings a smile to my face. Rain. I love rain. I quickly walk home, say hello to aunt Sylvia in the kitchen and walk straight to my room. I drop everything I have on my bed and march into my bathroom. I strip and enjoy the steamy hot shower , ignoring my thoughts all the while. I focus on nothing. Just the emptiness. Once I'm done , I put on some comfortable sweatpants , a tee and a hoody to match the cold weather. I decide to take time and go through the folders I brought home with me. I nestle between my sheets and get comfortable. Halfway through , I go for a quick break and grab some snacks. I check my phone and find missed calls and texts from both Ursula and Hakim. What's surprising the most is Hakim's text , asking to meet up. I ignore them. I've had enough drama for the day.

Continuing with work , everything feels like a lost cause. I'm almost through with the folders and I find nothing. Everything seems intact. Grabbing the last but one, I sigh and open it. I'm frozen instantly. This is it ! I know it! There is a spot for a passport picture in all the folders , but this one has none. There is a name though. Lucy Blackstone. Age 47. Sex and family orientation. Everything else is intact except it was a missing a picture. Just to be sure , I go through the last folder and it looks almost the same as all the previous ones. This was the odd one out. Lucy Blackstone's folder. This was the person the chancellor was looking for. I was sure of it. Lucy Blackstone of the werewolf clan. And I was going to be the one to find her.

Who's ready to meet Lucy?
It would be really nice to know your thoughts about Bloodyship so far.
Any ideas ?
