Chapter 10

“I can’t believe she did this!” exclaimed the Head Master.

                “I’m sure she had her reasons,” Whitney said trying to assure him.

                “She better have a damn good reason!” the Head Master exploded slamming his hands on his desk, making the papers on top fall to the ground.

                Suddenly, as if she knew I had been standing there the whole time listening to their conversation, Whitney turned her head and stared at me with sad eyes.

                “Sorry I’m late,” I said in a hard voice.

                “You better be sorry!’ yelled the Head Master. “Do you have any idea what damage you’ve caused? The whole university was hysterical! Everyone thought you were dead!”

                “Please, besides you guys nobody would care if I was gone. More than half of the people in this school are scared of me or hate me. And it’s not like it matters. I’m alive so everyone can stop freaking out.”

                The Head Master opened his mouth to shout again but Whitney calmly put her hand on his shoulder to silence him, and then she spoke up. “Why did you leave Autumn? What was so important that made you go sneaking off campus?”

                “I had to go pick up Asher.”

                “But why, Why would you walk all that way just to go pick up a friend?” the Head Master seethed. I could feel the temperature in the room rise. Sweat slowly dripped down the back of my neck making my hair stick to my neck and shoulders, my mind raced searching for some excuse, anything but the truth. My head was spinning. It felt like I was suffocating, drowning in the tangled mess of lies I created. I opened my mouth to speak but no sound came out.

                “You can stop lying to them Autumn, they know about Lynx,” said Ethan as he walked into the office with a hard look on his face.

                “What do you mean?” I asked in a cold voice.

                “What he means is that he told us that Lynx was going to attack,” Whitney said not meeting my eyes. “He also told us that you knew about his plan to attack yet you didn’t want to tell us.”

                I stared at her speechless, not sure what to say now that I was caught.

                “How long have you known about this?” asked the Head Master.

                “Awhile,” I answered,  my voice barely above a whisper.

                “Well then,” the Head Master paused for a moment. “For sneaking off campus and withholding important information you will be on total lockdown, no leaving your dorm unless you are going to your shape shifting class with Mrs. Heart or you’re going to the cafeteria.

                “That is so not fair!” I exclaim.

                “My decision is final.”

                I open my mouth to argue, but then I quickly close it again. There’s no use fighting a battle that I’d already lost, so I did the next best thing. I stormed out of the room.
