Prologue

There are many mysteries at St. Katrin. Some are easily explainable. Some are just rumors with no real standing. The Origin Club was its own mystery that was somewhat explainable. It was just a bunch of students hanging out. Now, one of those students had a mystery about them...

Marie was well known enough that everyone just knew her as a princess (not knowing how close to correct they were). Markus was kind of a delinquent with no record. He never picked fights that didn't deserve it. Bolly was just strange and one to leave alone. Katherine was just always busy. Rush was a nobody until a week or so ago. But the hype died down fast enough that now he was just a weirdo with the club.

It was inside the club that that mystery remained. Marie and Katherine were always thorough about finding information. A lot was missing on their new club member that they needed to get to the bottom of...

Part 1

Ding! Dong!

Achoo!

Rush had been holding that sneeze back for the last three minutes. It was getting painful. But once that bell rang, the teacher was done. He could relax enough to let it go. The sound of students shuffling along stuffing their bags filled the room. Rush knew to give it a few minutes before trying to go anywhere. Except when there was a booming voice calling for him. "Rush! Marie is calling for you!"

That was clearly Markus. Only his voice could carry like that and bring the entire room to a standstill. He could feel the eyes of the room shift from what they were doing right to him. He stood shoving his stuff away knowing it was going to be a headache later as he tried to go through it.

He moved around other people as they started to go back to what they were doing. He bumped up against a female student as he tried to squeeze behind her. He nodded in an apology. He got that strange feeling again from being someone with a strong lustful desire. It wasn't from the student he bumped but from her friend next to her wishing he would bump her. Maybe in a more forceful way.

He made it to the hallway with no further incident. He had to wipe his forehead to get his hair out of his face again. Markus smacked him on the shoulder, "Still not in control of it?"

"Nope."

"In due time. Try meditation."

"Really?"

"Yea. I clear my mind while I'm punching a bag."

"I don't think that's meditation."

The two moved through the crowded halls to the other building. As they crossed the walkway above the courtyard through the bustle of students Rush bumped into another student. It was hard enough that it turned him around. The student looked over his shoulder with an apology.

Rush didn't feel angry at him. It was a weird feeling of relief. His blonde hair and blue eyes struck him. It was peaceful. And he looked concerned that this happened. He heard him say "Are you OK" but didn't have time to answer. Markus didn't stop.

They reached the door to the clubroom. Markus opened the door and walked in. Rush came in after him. The door shut behind him with Markus missing. He was just there to escort him there and be gone.

The room was still illuminated from the sunlight even with the shades drawn. Marie was sitting in her chair leaning on her desk. "Rush, please have a seat."

He did as he was ordered and took a seat across from her. This was very different than before. Almost like when he was going through the interview process. He set his bag at the foot of the couch sitting himself upright. "You can relax. I just have a few questions for you."
