You can't find me

Chapter 40

Third Person POV (back in time a little to after the rest of the team members go home): 

"Zaniyah you can't be serious! She's one of our own! Angelica grab the robe and climb up to us!" Ian yells over the sound of the thunder. 

 Angelica looks over to Zaniyah with pleading eyes as she's the one who has control over who can come up to them. 

Zaniyah gives her a blank look before throwing the rope over the peak of the steep rock ledge. 

The throttling sound of her high pitched screaming rings through everyone's ears as both sides can hear the crack of her bones when she hits the ground. 

"WHAT THE FUCK?! YOU FREAKING BITCH! COME DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW AND LET'S TALK!" Ian screams as he watches his own friend plummet to her death. 

He runs to her side to see if he can revive her they all know there's no point. Zaniyah had put too many spells to make sure she wouldn't open her mouth. 

Aurora comes running with a still form of Luana in her arms. 

"Ian? Do you h-have her br-rother w-with you?" she sputters, out of breath. She has absolutely no idea that her own captain just murdered someone. 

Ian doesn't respond as he continues to stare at Angelica's body. 

"You've got to be kidding me." Aurora mutters under her breath as she see's everyone's distant and guarded faces. 

Zaniyah takes her eyes off of  Ian, Angelica and an unconscious Bastian, to look at Aurora. 

Aurora is a good, few feet away from the ledge so she doesn't know the state of the group on the ground. 

"Oh honey, your finally back! Thank you for finding Luana. Her family will be so grateful." she says sweetly with a smile that freaks Aurora out.

"Cora please handle your teammates it seems they got a little sidetracked." she motions with her hands to Hannah and Brian who look like they either want to cry or attack someone. 

Aurora places Luana to the ground, right next to Brian. 

She puts her hands on her hips and stares at everyone. 

"Mind telling me what the hell happened? Who freaking died today?" she questions, sarcasm evident in her tone. 

"Ang-" Hannah starts to say and Zaniyah musters a loud laugh. 

"Your so funny Hannah. But our time's up. Go home. Take Ian's group with you. It was nice being your team captain, even though things didn't turn out how they should have." she says with a sigh. 

"Wha-"

Zaniyah cuts her off by grabbing Aurora's arm and quickly leads her back into the direction she had just came 

Coralie watches their forms getting smaller and smaller before turning  to Brian and Hannah who glare at her. 

"What?" she questions. 

"You knew something didn't you? You could have stopped her from letting go of Angelica." Brian grits out in fury. 

She takes a step back from them and her voice cracks as she speaks. 

"H-how? She's my s-senior. I c-couldn't jus-st s-stop he-r-r. W-"

Brian leans Luana towards Hannah and stands with his hands still tied. 

"OF COURSE YOU COULD HAVE! YOU WEREN'T SPELL BOUND LIKE THE REST OF US! YOU HAD HER TRUST, GOD DAMNIT!" he roars while finally breaking out of his invisible restraints. 

Coralie stares at him with horror as tears freely run down her face. 

Hannah looks up at both of them from the ground and quietly says, "I saw you talking to her before she decided to throw Angelica off her feet. What did she ever do to you?  She was one of the sweetest people in our class." 

"Hannah she's a fucking coward. Don't you talk to her." he orders. Hannah bends her head down and caresses Luana's hair.

He walks over to Hannah and helps her as well as Luana to get up. 

Brian snaps his fingers in front of Luana's face and after a few seconds, she slowly starts to regain consciousness. 

They all walk over to the ledge, except Coralie who is trying to stop the hiccups and sobs leaving her throat. 

Then they sit on the edge and are about to use a levitation spell when Brian turns around to look at her. 

"I sure as hell don't owe you any favors. But your coming home with the rest of us or I can tell your parents that their beloved daughter is dead." he snaps.

She doesn't respond but walks over to them. 

They reach the bottom and the first thing she does is run over to Ian doesn't look at her but puts his arm out to stop her. 

"Ian I'm-"

Her eyes are red from crying of guilt and sadness but it's no where close to Ian's dull green eyed, tear streaked face. 

The same Ian who didn't even cry during hunting lessons where they killed animals, had blotchy pink cheeks and his brown hair was covered in leaves and branches . But for once he didn't give a damn. 

"Her brother-"

Ian snaps his eyes from Angelica's body to look at her. 

"Don't you dare mention a thing about anyone in her family." He pushes Angelica up into his arms and stands up. 

"Do you have any idea how this is going to affect her family? They finally had to stop worrying about their problems because their brilliant daughter got into this prestigious academy. They got everything they wanted all the way to their doorstep." Blood from her scraped arms rub off onto his uniform. "Now all of that is going to be taken back. The government is cruel like that. But wait why am I telling you this?" he laughs so cruelly, Coralie takes multiple steps away from all of them. 

"You've gotten every damn thing you could have asked for since you were born. Not everyone's had it as easy as you. This girl struggled so hard to be where she stood now that it was painful to watch. She had to prove her worth every damn time. So don't mind me if I'm not moved with you shedding a few tears." 

Coralie stands there as still as a stone taking in everything he throws at her, knowing the state he's in. 

Brian walks up to him and pulls him into a hug to which Ian takes. 

Luana who's awake gets out of Hannah's hold and runs to Bastian. 

Hannah reaches Coralie's side. 

"If I were you, I would find out why Zaniyah shut Angelica up forever and ask myself why I was the one she decided everyone to turn against. Your a smart girl and so is she. Figure it out." she whispers. 

Then heads over to everyone else, leaving Coralie in her own pool of thoughts.
