The bet

9-Why?

Haven's POV:

I woke up the next morning feeling completely numb and emotionless. I should be crying hysterically or throwing things around, my sister is dead for fucks sake. But somehow I couldn't manage to find any strength to do any of those things.

I got up and out of bed, the triplets were nowhere to be seen. The one time I didn't want to be left alone, they left me alone. I should be thrilled because of how much I hate waking up with a drawn on mustache on my face, but for some reason I just simply couldn't be happy about it. I needed them right now, I needed human interaction to distract me from my sister's death.

I walked, with my feet dragging behind me, towards the kitchen. I felt like a zombie.

I opened the refrigerator and looked inside of it, there was so much food in there that I usually find delicious. But today everything looked disgusting in my eyes. I only ate one bite of a sandwich because Katharine made me. I couldn't bear to look at her because of the way she was looking at me. Her eyes were full of pity, I didn't want anyone's pity. All I wanted was to know who killed her.

What did she mean by "They're coming for you"? And if she had been alive all this time, why hadn't she come looking for me?

All these thoughts were twirling around inside my head. I needed answers, and I needed them now.

But how would I get them?

><><><

"Are you sure you want to go to school today? It would be totally okay with me if you just stayed home instead, in fact I think it would be for the best if you just stayed at home" Kathrine looked at me with concern as I put on my sneakers and my jeans jacket. "And I think that it would be for the best if I went to school. I don't want to fall behind or miss anything important" I grabbed my backpack and before she could protest I walked out of the house and shut the door behind me.

It was starting to get really warm here so today I had just slipped on a pair of shorts and a hoodie. Unfortunately, the shorts weren't such a good idea. Of course I just had to trip myself with my own shoe laces and fall right onto the hard asphalt and scratch my knees so they start to bleed. I manage to get up on my feet again and start walking. Despite my bleeding knees and the numbness, I was still feeling, it felt good being outside. The smell of spring was like heaven to me and I loved every minute of it.

I walked pass the bus stop and decided to walk to school instead, the sun just felt so good on my skin and I never wanted the feeling to end.

As I kept walking I suddenly started to feel like I was being followed by someone or something. I hurried up my pace, after last night anything could happen now. The feeling got even more intense and I was now running. Anyone that saw me would probably think what the hell is that girl doing? And if I were in workout clothes it would look completely normal but I'm not so they could scratch "Workout" from the list of why I might be running.

I didn't care what they thought though, I was for sure not going to take any risks so I kept running.

I turned my head around to see if anyone was behind me, but there was no one. But I could still feel that intense feeling of being followed so I still didn't stop.

I ran past a few old ladies, I caught a glimpse of their face and managed to hear one of them say "Isn't that the girl from the news yesterday?". I shook it off and kept running, the fact that I was on the news yesterday, were they were showing me in chock and talking about me witnessing someone's death didn't exactly help with people's theory of me being crazy.

Eventually I started seeing the school, it was getting closer and closer. Relief washed over me as I entered through the big glass doors and walked into the school. Now no one could catch me, at least not alone.

><><><

After third period it was time for lunch. I hadn't seen either Hunter or Michelle today, Michelle I kind of understand why, but where could Hunter be?

Oh god, what if scared him of last night when he came over right after the shooting. He probably thinks I'm crazy or dangerous and doesn't want anything to do with me now. I had to punch myself lightly on the forehead, stop being stupid Haven, you know better than that. He wouldn't give up on a bet even if the bet he made was with a crazy lunatic. I shoke my head and walked into the cafeteria.

Hunter's POV:

I was in the abandoned warehouse, training. I had to distract myself from thinking too much about everything. Thinking lead to weakness and I am not weak, I'm Hunter, the never defeated street fighter and the guy Known as "Bone breaker". I'm defiantly not weak.

I punched the boxing bag hard and fast, in anger. It swung up in the air and went back and forth, giving me time to relax. My breath was quick and I felt my heart pounding extremely fast, it felt like it was going to rip my chest open. I punched the bag again, this time a little softer.

My anger began to fade the more I punched the bag, fighting helped me do what I never could otherwise, which was controlling my emotions.

After being in the warehouse for a long hour, I packed my things and left. I walked out of the warehouse with my bag and keys to my motorcycle. The neighborhood I currently were in was not exactly the safest. It had the highest rate of criminal activity compared to the neighborhoods surrounding it. I didn't care though, I could defend myself if something happened.

I hopped on my motorcycle and turned it on, within a few seconds I was on the road.

><><><

It was 13 o'clock in the afternoon when I arrived at the school's property, I know I'm late.

I left my motorcycle in my regular parking spot and walked into the big building, to my surprise everything was in complete chaos. People where running around screaming like maniacs with their hands in the air. I didn't understand anything and wondered why I even had bothered to come here in the first place. Then I remembered Haven and that she might need me, I have to find her.

I started moving through the crowd of hysteric people, pushing everyone in my way away and out of it. I need to find her is all I could think.

><><><

There was so much chaos everywhere that I hardly could concentrate on my task. I tried my best to look for her but it was nearly impossible. Eventually I decided to look in the last possible place for her to be, the girl's bathroom. Yes, I have to admit that I was terrified with thought of entering such a alien like place, I had no idea how to act or what to say if I was caught. But I still did it.

Slowly I opened the door, my eyes were closed and I called out a "Hello" a few times before going deeper in. my eyes were still covered when I heard a noise from somewhere in the bathroom. Quickly I lifted my hand away from my eyes and met another pair of chocolate brown eyes were starring right back it me, they were red and filled with fear.

I looked back at them with confusion, understanding nothing until my eyes traveled further down and what I saw made my eyeballs pop out of my eyes. My mouth was hanging wide open because what was right in front of me was one of the most terrifying things I had ever seen in my life, and believe me I have seen a lot.
