The month of January has arrived. Lately, Professors has been acting strange, more like worried...what could it be. One of the Professor's shouts "Everyone get to your classes now!" The crowd was going crazy rushing to their classes. Ashton had no idea what this is about. Whatever it is, seems very important, so has to rush to class as soon as he can. He finally bumps into Professor Prestridge and asks "Professor Prestridge! What's going on?!" Professor Prestridge looks around worried "Get inside, I will explain to everyone in a moment. Get inside." Ashton gets inside and everyone looks confused. He goes to Maximus "Maximus, do you know what's going on?" Maximus sighs "No idea, but whatever it is. Seems like a really huge deal." Ashton bites his lip worried and takes a seat.
As soon as everyone gets inside, Professor Prestridge takes a quick look outside, then looks his door. "Okay you all are safe!" He sighs worried and Beatrix asks "Professor Prestridge what's happening?" "I will explain to you all in a moment. Please take your seats!" Beatrix looks around asking "Any ideas?!" Everyone shakes their head disagreeing and tries to calm down. The bell rings and everyone waits for Professor Prestridge to speak. Before he speaks, the announcement begins "Students should be in their classes, please remain seated. The school will be on a lockdown. Your Professors will explain everything. Please do not exit this school nor let anyone transpass this school. Please remain in the school. No one can exit. Thank you." Professor Prestridge takes a seat in his chair and covers his mouth worried. Gretel looks at him worried "Professor what's going on? Are we in danger?!" Everyone starts asking the same thing.
Professor Prestridge gets angry "ENOUGH! He slams his arms on the table and everyone starts to be quiet. Now I will answer everyone's question... the class grows quiet. The school has been receiving letters from other witches in the world, even more professional than us, even on our secret channel news, that apparently...there is a satanist which in this school. Everyone gasps and start mumbling. We don't know who it is, so this week we will be testing every students ability. Does everyone understand?" The class nods. Maximus gulps looking down nervous. Ashton looks at him strange wondering why he is nervous. He shouldn't be, unless he was hiding something that nobody knows. Ashton is getting an answer either way.
As soon as the bell rang, Maximus dashed out with his books in his hands nervous. Ashton rushes out after him and starts running to him. "Max Max! He reaches to Max and lightly places his hand on his shoulder. Max.." Maximus grips on his hand hard "What is it Ashton?!" Ashton groans slightly. "You're hurting my arm..." Maximus looks at his own hand gripping on Ashton's, takes a breath, and lets go "Sorry." Ashton soften his arm "Are you okay?" "Yes, Ash. Now go." He looks confused at him trying to get a closer look. "Are you s-sure?" Ashton can tell Maximus was not okay. Maximus eyes were getting red by how nervous and angry he's getting. "YES I'm okay! I just want to be alone!" The whole crowd hears Maximus yell and turn their attention to him. Maximus looks around, gulps, then starts walking away with his head down. Some guy goes up to Ashton "Hey is that guy okay? He seems like a weirdo." Ashton stares at Maximus and replies "Yeah weird..". As he looks down on his arm, he sees fingerprints on how hard Maximus gripped on him.
Later on that day, Ashton goes to his dorm coming back from the study hall. He drops off his things down on his bed and sees Maximus working on his homework. Maximus sees him, looks at him, then looks back at his homework. Ashton walks towards him disappointed "Do you have a problem with me?" "No why?" Maximus responds as he works. "Well look what you did to me... Maximus ignores and keeps writing. LOOK WHAT YOU DID!" He sighs and looks at Ashton's arm. "I did that?" "Yes! You gripped on my arm hard!" "That's not possible.." "It is since you did it, what is wrong with you?!" "Well I don't believe I did that Ashton.." "Are you delusional? Are you hearing yourself? Ashton scoffs. Maybe letting you date my sister was a mistake. I wonder how she would react to your fingerprints you left on my arm." Maximus gets up angry "DON'T YOU DARE BRING YOUR SISTER IN THIS!" He pushes Ashton hard to directing to wall by his bed. Ashton groans letting out an omf as he falls on his bed. Maximus looks at his arms getting red and more muscular. Ashton rubs his head slowly trying to get up. Maximus looks at him arms then starts running to the bathroom. Ashton gets up and knocks at the bathroom door "Max?" "I'm sorry Ashton I didn't mean to.." "Max you okay?" "Just leave me alone."
Ashton looks confused and slightly opens the door. Maximus is breathing heavily trying to calm. When Ashton opens the door a little more, he sees Maximus's arms and hands throbbing and Maximus eyes slowly getting red. Ashton gulps freaked out then slowly closes the door. He sits down on his bed wondering "Could Maximus really be more than a monster?" He stays there asking himself the same question repeatedly.
