The Moon Will Fall (Moonlight 2)

Chapter 17-Revelations?

"Calum Hood?" The teacher questioned their eyes moving around our homeroom class like a hawk.

I sunk into my seat. Hearing his name every day in homeroom was one of the hardest things about Calum running away. Every time someone called it, my heart would skip from the shock of hearing it. The first few times I'd been in class I'd quickly answered to the teacher that he was away. Now, I didn't even bother.

The teacher frowned down at the paper as he marked him away. I could faintly hear some of the other students discussing Calum's whereabouts. Many talked about how he'd run away again, and I could feel and see their eyes flicking over to me. I couldn't help but wonder if this was what it had been like for the few weeks when we'd been on the run. From what Kaylee had said, I found that easy to believe.

I looked down at the floor noticing a small white envelope sitting on my desk with my name written on it. I looked around for who had put it there. But no one was near my desk or even looking my way anymore. I turned it over to see who the sender was, but that part was left blank. Perhaps they had left that to the inside.

Carefully, I teared open the envelope to find that there was only a piece of note paperclip on it. I took the note out first and found that someone had written with marker on it in incredibly neat handwriting. I frowned at the words,

'What if you aren't who you think?'

I stared at it for a moment and raised an eyebrow. I noticed that there was a Polaroid picture paper clipped on the back and all that was in the frame was black. Confused, I tilted the image slightly, and even shook the image a little to see if the photo just needed to develop more. That was when I worked out that I could faintly see the shape of a wolf. It was hard to see and perhaps without enhanced vision I wouldn't have even noticed it. As I tilted the image from side to side I noticed how the colours of the wolves' eyes shifted from yellow to red.

My heart stopped. Either some knew about me being a werewolf or something much worse was going on.

Petrified, I quickly chucked the note in my pocket. I turned behind me to see who was sitting behind me, but it was just two of the boys from my maths class. They were harmless, they wouldn't do anything out of line. So, it couldn't have been them that left me the note. Yet, how could I tell without asking them?

Before I could ask them, the bell toiled through the building announcing the end of homeroom. Within seconds, the students around me raced from their desks. I watched each of them carefully, in case one had been watching for my reaction, but found no one to blame. Just who had put the envelope on my desk? I could only sit there wondering what it could mean.

It was in that moment, I felt a strong quake of fear through the bond. My thoughts clicked over, Michael. It was so strong that it had to be. Barely thinking I grabbed my bag and pushed through all the people leaving our class. I headed towards the part of the corridor that I knew Ashton and Michael's homerooms were in.

It didn't take me long to find them, Michael was storming down the corridor with an expression as angry as his currently red hair. Ashton was tagging behind him a grave look on his face. Both their eyes were searching. I think they were looking for me.

"Luke, you got one, too right?" Michael spoke quickly. He didn't even bother to lower his voice in the crowded corridor.

I nodded, before my eyes turned to Ashton, "You?"

Ashton quickly shook his head, "No, but I saw Michael's."

I was surprised that Ashton didn't get one. If someone was telling us that they'd discovered, we were werewolves you would've thought we'd have all received one.
