House of Night

Chapter Seventeen

Jonathan

Evan's face looked paler than usual. "Evan, what's wrong?" "I think Nelson is on to something." "Oh shit. Nelson?" I asked, getting a very bad feeling in my gut. "Yeah. I think he's gonna do something to Willow. We need to get back to the House of Night quick." He said looking around. I smirked as an idea popped into my head. "Here hop on." I smiled and held out my hand for Evan. I laughed as he rolled his eyes. He grabbed my hand and I helped him over my shoulders. "Damn. You're strong." He stuttered. "Now let's go." He said as I used my new red vampyre abilities to run. 

Willow

"Nelson! I don't understand what you're saying!" I put my hand down onto the large desk in the counselling room. Nelson was sitting in a smaller desk inside a row of other desks. "I'm telling you! He's a monster! I have the proof he killed someone!" I shook my head at Nelson's reasoning. "Where is it then? Hmm? I do not understand. Nelson, the child is very sweet. Just look at his little buddy Evan. Look how sweet they are together." "High Priestess! There's more to them than sweetness." Nelson stopped my thoughts. "Fine, give me the proof then." His face turned the color of a red beet. "Well he's a different vampyre, a new one! And if we trust him too much he might snap and kill us all with his stronger abilities." Before Nelson could babble on, two figures came into the room. Evan, breathless, and Jon, smirking like he just won over the world. "Gentlemen." I smiled at the two. "How are you?" "Wonderful." They said together. They both looked at each other with huge grins across their faces. 

They really belong together Nyx, and I swear you're doing a little magic between them. I quickly sent to the Goddess. "Take a seat High Priests in training." I smiled. They both took a seat to the desk beside Nelson. "Good, so did you get the call from David?" "Yes, though he said it a weird way." Evan said with a worrying glance into my eyes. I nodded in understanding. "I'll have to talk to you guys later about that. Apologies." "It's okay." "So, Nelson as you are the most intelligent professor in the House of Night building I have one question for you." "Yes, High Priestess." "Are there any more fledgling or vampyres like Jon?" 

Evan

After Willow's question, Jon jumped a bit. I could hear his heartbeat picking up really quickly. I grabbed his hand under the table, as Willow looked at Nelson for an answer. "Remember my little ability, Professor Nelson Morgan." She said with power in her voice. I swear I felt goosebumps down my arms, along with Jon's. I saw the anger in her eyes. Nelson was sweating like a fucking pig. Jon squeezed my hand back. I looked up at him. He gave me a very, very sorry look. My eyes widened as a huge feeling hit my gut. Get your circle! My gut screamed and punched. I looked at Nelson. He turned his head just a bit to get someone's vision, as he nodded ever so slightly, I was going to pull out my phone and text David and them to get their asses down here now.

 I noticed my phone missing. I started screaming inside. Fuck! How could I forget my phone. Another idea hit me. I'd tell their elements separately to get them, except Water and Spirit of course. I quickly whispered a few things under my breath to tell them. "Air, get your Lui." I whispered. Nelson got distracted and looked at me with a glare. "Fire, get your David." I mumbled. Nelson's glare got more deathly. Before he could stand up or say anything I whispered one last person, "Earth, get your Brock." Jon stood up before Nelson could reach me. "Step away, and answer the High Priestess's question." Jon snapped. Nelson mumbled something and walked away, but not to his seat, the window. "Here is the answer to your question." He smirked.

 At the same exact time my circle came into the room and a group of three fledglings shattered through the window. All of them had red crescents and ugly scarlet eyes. I noticed one chick as the one blonde on our volleyball team in gym. I noticed a guy who looked like a mocha color and sorta looked like Mickey from Doctor Who, but no accent. Unfortunately, I didn't know either of their names. But, the last person, the one who acted like the leader, was someone we all knew and used to love. "Luke!" Jon screamed. It wasn't a good scream at all. Jon was instantly pinning him to the wall. "Jon!" "No! Evan we need to get the circle going!" David yelled. "What about Water? That's Jon." He only shook his head. "Then we'll fight together but separately!" He shouted and charged for the red fledgling chick. He called fire and shined it on her. She started hissing and backing away, but was forced back into it as a weird breeze was pushing her. I noticed Lui behind her smirking. 

The "Mickey" guy charged for me. I called Spirit and threw him against the wall. He moaned and charged at me again. This time he hit me. He used his teeth and sunk into my chest. I screamed and pushed him off. The fucking pervert was moaning! But he wouldn't budge. I tried using Spirit again, but nothing. He took his nails down across my chest. He licked half way then stopped. I smelt nice clean laundry. I opened my eyes to see, "Jon." My unrecognizable voice sputtered. I spit blood out all over myself. "Shit!" Jon worried. He picked me up and zoomed me over to the corner of the room. He threw his hoodie on me before running back to the fight.

I noticed Evan went unconscious in the corner I put him in. I worried very deeply, the cut was really deep and thick. I noticed I lost Luke when I went to kill the douche on Evan. I looked around and noticed he had Willow in his arms. "Come any closer Johnny boy and I'll snap her neck like a fucking popsicle stick." I stopped walking and looked up at him. "Why are you doing this Luke?" "To rule the world with me, ya faggot." Just in time I turned around and grabbed Nelson's wrist. "Kill her, I'll kill him fucking instantly." Luke just stared down at me. As we stared at each other I felt Earth, Air and Fire fighting behind me. I heard one last scream and a few footsteps. "Don't do it Luke." I heard Brock's voice warn. "Shut the hell up Earth boy." Luke said. Then, out of no where Luke smiled. "You know, your boys here just killed my girlfriend. So you know what. I'll kill yoursssss." He laughed and started running for Evan. I dropped Nelson's wrist and ran in front of Evan. "Oh, you've gotten pretty fast." He chuckled, "but not fast enough." Nelson had grabbed a sword, as a decoration, and used it to chop off Willow's head. As her blood splattered and her head fell Luke ran with Nelson, Brock ran up to the High Priestess's body, Lui squealed as David stood there in his own space. It's all my fault... all of it. And when and if Evan wakes up, he'll be the new High Priest, and he can't take that... and it's all my fault. Maybe Nelson was right, I am a monster.
