“Greco,please drive slow. I don't have thousands of lives ahead of me.”
I begged him, looking at the speed metre.
He is driving at the speed of 180 mph.
“Don't worry, I never had an accident.”
I know he has to drive fast to reach the dormitory because we are quite far from the college but that doesn't mean that he has to drive this fast.
“Greco, please I am the only daughter of my parents. Show some mercy on me.”
But suddenly he stopped the car.
“What the hell?”
“We are here, Knifey.”
I look up to see that we are in front of the college gate.
“We reached here within five minutes?” I asked, bewildered by the whole thing.
He just smirks at me and opens the door.
I also opened mine and slid out of the car.
I can hear the siren of the police cars and mostly the yelling from inside.
Greco came up beside me and clasped my hand tightly in his.
“What are you doing?” I hissed out.
“Try to stick by my side.” Then he drags me inside of the college.
Every student is standing in the ground looking horrible and grief stricken.
Some are crying and some are even vomiting?
There is so much yelling that it's making my ears hurt.
I can see some officers yelling orders at each other.
Even some media reporters.
There is so much happening at once.
“Satsangi,” a voice yelled out.
I look behind me to see Jess is holding Laura up.
She is looking pathetic.
“Laura, are you okay?” I gently asked her.
“It was horrible, Satsangi. That murderer killed him.” She yelled while hugging me tightly.
Gosh!
Now I really need an ENT Specialist.
Btw did they have the permission to enter the college?
I don't think so.
So how did she see the crime scene.
Surely she is acting to gain sympathy.
I pat her on the back, it is slightly uncomfortable as Greco is still holding my hand.
“Knifey, we have to go.” Greco mentioned coming for my rescue.
I shot him a thankful gaze.
“ Laura, we have to go. Please take care of yourself .” I pulled away from her.
That's when her eyes shifted towards Greco.
She suddenly flushed and pulled down her skimpy pyjama shirt to show her fake cleavage.
What the fuck?
“Oh Antonio, I didn't notice you were here.
Your dad is also here. It was truly horrible but you are going to protect us. Right?”
She asked her in a sickly sweet voice which is disgusting and batted her eyes at him.
Maybe a whale has a better voice than her.
My eyes slightly got wide at her behaviour.
Fucking bitch.
She was just going to put her hand on Greco when he pulled away from her and wrapped his arms around my waist holding me close.
“Dani, come here.” He called a boy from beside him.
“Tony, we have been looking for you. The media is becoming a problem. We tried to stop them from entering here but they are causing a huge scene.”
“I will take care of the media but first take this young lady here to the doctor.”
He said while gesturing towards Laura.
“Why?” Dani is looking slightly confused.
“I guess she has some problem with her voice because it's causing us ear damage.”
Then he turned around to leave with me, leaving a shocking and fuming Laura behind.
“Did you really say that on her face?”
“She is bothering you and only I have the right to do that, no one else.” He slightly smiled.
“You are a moron.”
“New words added to the dictionary.”
“Ahh”
We went towards the Entrance of the main building without any further conversation.
Antonio is talking with someone on the phone so fast that I am barely able to catch some words.
When we reached there the media surrounded us immediately.
“Sir, what will you say about this?”
“How are these murders occurring?”
“Is it even a safe place for the students now?”
“Is it some kind of Rivalry?”
“Sir, how is this happening in the ‘GREDON COLLEGE’?”
“Why are you not taking any steps?”
Too many questions at once.
I am practically blinded by the flash lights of the camera.
The way they are surrounding me is actually making me uncomfortable.
The crowd is jostling with each other and someone bumps me from behind.
That movement causes me to loss my balance and I fall down there.
Suddenly flashes of memory clouds my brain.
Worthless.
Unwanted.
Good for nothing.
Piece of shit.
Everyone hates you.
You don't belong here.
Just go away.
Slut.
It's so suffocating.
I am suddenly gasping for breath.
It hurts to even breathe.
I can't even make out what others are Saying.
A group of people surrounding a little girl.
Laughing at her.
A girl comes over and slaps her.
They are breaking eggs on her head.
A girl is holding a spectacle.
“Please give it back” that little girl is begging to her.
“Aww, our dear Satsangi wants her little glasses.” One of them teased and then dropped the spectacle on the floor and broke it.
That Little girl.
No, no little girl.
It's me.
I am crying.
I reached for the broken pieces of glass but one of them stepped on my hand.
“Ahhhhhh”
“ Aww, does it hurt Satsangi?”
“You are a worthless girl, that's why dear mummy abandoned you.”
Blood is leaking from the cut on my hands.
A piece of glass is stuck in my wrist.
“Worthless, unwanted freak.”
“Stop it.” I gasped out.
“Knifey?”
“Knifey!!”
“Please stop it. Don't hurt me. Please. Please.”
“Knifey, it's okay. Try to breathe.” Someone is shaking me.
“I can't”I let out a choking sound.
“Knifey” That voice frantically yelled.
“Open your eyes, everything is okay.” Someone is hugging me.
I tried to reign control on my breathing.
The burning feeling in my lungs is finally vanishing.
I opened my eyes to a slight figure hovering over me.
Concerned dark green eyes are staring straight into mine.
“Greco?”
“Shhh, it's okay. I am here.” He hugged me tightly to his chest and picked me up.
I held tightly against his neck and hid my face on his shoulder.
“Sir, About the murderer.”
Shit!! I forgot that the media is here.
That's why I panicked.
Not in front of them.
I groaned internally.
“Just get the fuck out of the college right now.” Greco growls at them.
“Sir you can't order us to…
“Oh, yes I can.”
“Sir, we are sorry.” A raspy voice yelled out.
I pulled out my face from his shoulder to see an older looking man barking orders at the news reporters.
“But sir we have to cover the news.”
“Oh no, you don't. We'll talk about this later but right now let's go from here. I don't want my company to be wreaking crap because of this news.”
“No but Sir
“Mr. Kent. We will talk about this later but not here. Pack up your things and get out of here.”
The Murmurs started to spread like a wind in the college campus.
“Sir” That man came up towards us.
“Mr. David. Thanks for accompanying me but I don't want any of these reporters around this college. Got it?”
“Yes sir and sorry for bothering you.”
Then he ran towards his car.
“What did you do?” I asked Greco, clearly shocked by this whole scene.
“Let's just say I had to use some tactics to shut them off.”
I clearly don't want to know what tactics.
He walked towards the door of the college, where Reuben is standing with Trace.
Trace is looking pale.
Almost as a ghost.
Her eyes are red and puffy.
Obviously from crying.
“Angi, are you okay?” her lips are still wobbly.
“I'm. But you?”
“I clearly can't describe this to you. You should just go and see that.”
I nodded at her.
I want to hug her but it's impossible as Greco is still carrying me.
“How is Everything, Ben?”
“Father and uncle are on the third floor along with the officers. I guess the forensic team will be here soon and the other officers are still checking the whole campus for proof.”
I notice that no one is on the ground floor except us.
“We should just go upstairs then.”
“You and Satsangi go there. Trace is not feeling comfortable there so I should stay here with her.”
“Okay”
Greco started to wall towards the stairs.
“You know I can walk right.”
He didn't give me any answer.
His whole posture is tense.
Just one more floor.
I don't know what I am going to see there.
It literally feels like I am experiencing some horror slasher movie.
“Do you want to go here?” Greco asked me as we reached the entrance of the third floor.
“Let's get it over with.”
I can hear some people talking here or more like yelling.
“How the hell am I supposed to know about this?” An angry voice barked out.
“Mr. Greco, please listen to me.”
“No, you listen to me . You don't even know how much it is ruining our reputation?”
As we rounded around the corner the voice Started to die down.
I notice Mr. Greco and Mr. Langdon are standing there with 5 other officers.
Mr. Greco's eyes got visibly wide when he noticed me with Antonio.
“Son, you came very early.” He greets Greco with a sneer.
Is he always like that?
Greco chose to ignore him and looked directly at the officers.
“Where is the body?”
“In his classroom.” He started to move toward the class.
“Mr. Greco, are you going to take the girl with you?”
“Her name is Satsangi and yes she is coming with me.”
“But Antonio…
“Mr. Langdon I can assure you that she is not going to cause any harm to this whole thing so she can see this.”
He looks at me for confirmation and I nod my head yes.
I want to see it , I have to see the brutality of that killer.
He walked inside the classroom and suddenly the smell of burning flesh caught my nose.
My eyes widened with fear as I inspected the scene before me.
Pieces of flesh are scattered around the room along with blood.
Technically the whole floor is painted with blood.
Greco's shoulder tensed a bit more.
He lets out a sharp breath.
I look up to see he is looking forward.
I followed his gaze and suddenly every inch of my body started to crawl with disgust and fear.
Blind spots started to spread all over my vision and then everything became dark.
