Manipulation

Ch 18 Cry wolf

The sky was becoming lighter and the air felt light as birds chirped in trees. I walked out of the forest breathing heavy  My muscles were aching slightly but in a weird way it felt good, my heart still beating fast from the run, my body shaking from adrenalin. I breathed a laugh. I may not have changed, but that was exhilarating  just running, not caring were you go or what happens. Just running. I made my way up towards the Zeal house still smiling.

"Why are you smiling?" Lucas asked when he saw me, he was walking down the narrow path to the Astute house.

"I don't know, i'm happy" i shrugged not caring about what he said. The wolf inside me stirred, but this time it was like it was settling down, ready to relax. I was happy about that.

He nodded slowly. "Have a nice run?"

"Yeah" i breath and stop walking to look at him. His hair seemed to have a blue tint when the light hit it perfectly and his eyes were a soft icy blue, cold enough to freeze your soul. I briefly wondered if all vampires could have that effect then pushed it away. Since when was i thinking about Vampires so much? I shook my head slightly trying to clear my head. Lucas had stopped and was now looking at me from where i stood in front of the Zeal house. "What?"

The words were breathless though i could breath fine. "Nothing, you should get to bed, it's late"

I nodded in agreement. "Actually, for normal people it would be considered early" i brush the hair from my face with a smile on my lips. "Good day Lucas" i grin and turn around to walk into the house.

"Have a nice sleep Kat" Lucas says before walking away at an easy swift pace. I stood in the door way for a bit before closing the door softly and turning around. The smell of cinnamon and garlic made my nose scrunch up. God it was over powering. I swatted at the air withing i had some deodorant to cover it up with though it wouldn't work. I started walking towards the stairs, looking left and right, i even looked in the shadows hoping to catch sight of the person.

I frowned when i walked into the hallway with my room in it. My room door was wide open and the light was on, i could here someone shuffling around muttering things. When i walked in i was horrified. Not by the fact that Angel was pacing across the room looking scared and worried as hell, but scared cause cause the room was covered in blood. I was thankful it wasn't Angels though, she looked and clean and didn't have a scratch on her. The smell of Cinnamon and Garlic hung in the air in thick clouds.

I noticed it was getting stronger each time i smelt it, like when you spray a little bit of perfume  at fist it's not overpowering, you spray it again and it turns you off a bit, spay it again, after a tenth spray and your choking  It was like that but it was horrible, like someone had dumped a buckets worth of cinnamon and garlic in the room. It was the worst thing i had even smelt.

She looked up and sighed in relief then walked over and hugged me. "Oh my god! Your okay! I was worried about you! I came in here a while ago and found the room like this! I thought-" she herself off and pushed me away so she could see me better. "Your okay. Good" she sighed and i took another look at the room. The blood was all over the floor, beds and walls. The worst part was the writing on the wall over me bed.

Cry Wolf, Cry Wolf

Don't you know not to look?

Blood on my hands of only a few

But soon there will be yours too

Cry Wolf, Cry Wolf

You should have never looked

You should have kept your head in the books

You better not sook

My eyes are on you my litter Wolf

Cry Wolf, Cry Wolf

Can you guess who i am?

Don't be a lamb

Come on, be a Wolf

I shivered at the words and i felt my stomach turn over. The blood smelt like a wolves and i was suddenly scared. Who's blood was this? I looked at Angel who was watching me with scared eyes, she looked scared and was breathing heavy.

Suddenly there was a gasp from the doorway and we saw one of the senior housemate standing in the doorway. She gaped at the room then looked down at us. She turned down to face down one hallway. "Damian!" she called then motioned us out of the room. Damian ran down the hallway looking irritated. The girl motioned towards the room and pulled us out of the way. Damian shared at the room for a while then closed the door. "Go get Miss Fray" he said shakily. The girl dashed down the hallway as people peeked out of there room to see what was going on.

"Lets go down stairs and get something to drink shell we?" Damian then stated moving us towards the student lounge down stairs. He was mutter to himself as he walked and told people to got back to bed. The smell of cinnamon and garlic seemed to cling to my clothes and hair making me feel sick. What had i done to this person to make them hate me so much?
