Chapter 32:
[]KOLONIA[]
"...I don't know" I breathed, already mentally running over possibilities for who could have given it to me.
"This is impossible, it's not like there's only one person with those initials in this school." Cora sighed, gingerly tracing the glimmering letters with her fingers.
I cast a glance at the letters once more- they read; S.H.
I continued going through the people I knew had those initials- only a few, but enough to puzzle over for quite a while. I closed my eyes.
The cat I had seen earlier, had the same sapphire eyes... The same curve of its muzzle, the same penetrating gaze- one that could pin even the mightiest warrior against a wall with just sheer will. Whoever had made this had quite obviously seen the cat before, to be able to capture such a perfect likeness of the feline.
And there was only one person who knew about the cat.
She just had to ruin the perfect moment and take everything I was excited for away. Such a sick, twisted woman I knew had something to do with that cat. I tentatively reached down to the twin scabs on my leg, puncture wounds- small, but large enough to have hurt. The ones I got when I was rudely awakened by a tan cat that had fled as soon as I'd opened my eyes.
And she hid it from me all this time why? Why must she be the person that gave this to me?
Cora began mumbling possibilities, names sliding off her tongue far quieter and faster than I had thought possible- but she stopped on one name in particular.
"Cora wait, those initials- this looks just like... I think you just made me figure it out is,"
"Sirah Hansley" We stared at each other, saiding the words in unison- seeming to read each other's eyes.
"I have to talk to Hansley straight away." I bit my lip, paused. "You know this could mean anything, even getting my own Spirit Cat!" I narrowly avoided jumping up and down and calmed my swirling head and buzzing nerves.
I started to head out the door, but Cora warily caught my arm, inclining her head to the door and tapping her ear. Listen. Sure enough, there was a faint click noise from the locked door and it slammed open, and revealed Solaris, panting, stance wide and onyx black eyes glossed over with fear.
"Hansley's dead."
