Discovering truths (Legacies: Book 3)

Chapter 4

I swing my head around. What was that?

But the question that I should be asking was: who.

And hand wraps around my mouth as I scream. They try to pull me backwards but I elbow them in their gut. Their grip loosens, but not enough. When I try to run they grab my arm and I am thrown to the ground.

I look up to see a shining weapon in their hand. Gun.

I roll to the side and try to get up when I hear a bang. I cry out in pain as pain shoots through my shoulder.

I get and run as they start to reload. I jump behind a tree as I can see them start to raise the weapon over my shoulder.

My shoulder was in so much pain, but I kept running.

I could start to hear the music from the party when someone grabs me and pulls them to their chest.

I was about to throw a punch when I see it's Seth.

"Seth..." I say. My voice sounded shaky. Faint.

He grabs my arm to look at my arm. "You just can't stay with me for one night. Can you?!"

Finally I look to my shoulder. It was red.

My eyes start to feel blurry but I shake my head, I could faint. Not now.

"We need to get out of here, get the party evacuated" Seth says.

I nod my head as he leads us back to the party.

"Hey!" He calls out into the crowd. A few people turn to him but that was it.

Cupping my hands over my mouth I take a deep breath in, "Hey!"

More people turned to look, someone even turned the music down.

"We need to leave, now" Seth says. "The killer is in the woods. Now."

"And you know this because?!" someone I don't know calls out. It was one of Luke's 'new' friends.

"Does my bleeding arm that got shot not sum it up?!" I yell back. Then people went into a frenzy as they either ran (most of them) or speed walked away from the party. Abbie, Amoy, Renee, Zack, and Ryan joined me and Seth as we walked away.

For a night that was supposed to be my mini vacation. This went great. (And yes, that was sarcasm).

Thank goodness the water park trip was moved till next weekend the to this weekends events.

News of the incident moved through the school fast. (Even though technically a good amount of our school was may the party).

Our school headmaster is now taking new precautions by posting guards around the doors. They 'wouldn't let this happen again', they would say.

Did I believe that? No, because every time they say that another thing happens. I'm surprised Aunt Rebecca hasn't dragged me out of this school herself yet. Especially with the what happened with Shyanne.

My next show was Thursday, so I had to work this week to get my school work done early. Which was no problem with me of course. My grades would agree.

Now I just had to get through Thursday alive. Piece of cake.
