Vangsvere Academy

Chapter 55: All Truth

When they found out Michael was gone, about three hours after he left, I was placed into a holding. Questioned by Lucious, and carefully because I was right, he wants the kid for himself.

Well, when they realized I wasn't going to say anything, Lucious had me thrown into Michaels bedroom.

I've been in here for about four days now.

'Still in holding. They're just waiting for the blood to leave my system I guess.'

You still haven't seen them? Lily?

'No, I'm sorry. I've tried getting a message to her though. How are you holding up?'

Pretty chill, they send food up. Your fiancé wants me dead.

'Don't feel threatened. If she ever came at you, I'm sure you'd kill her before she even laid a hand on you.'

I would. Definitely.

'How's the poisoning coming along?'

I've gotten about twelve of them stocked with the potion so far. It wasn't easy though. Your old bottles under the counter worked. I haven't drank from anything in almost two days.

'They're slowly being poisoned?'

Yup. I'm doing it gradually. I've already seen a few start to look a bit sick. I'll be leaving here soon.

'You have to be careful Ace, if they catch you he'll lock you up.'

I figured that much, I'm good. I just want to get out of here and be back at the academy.

'Have you found a good distraction?'

Im going to cut up princess dramatics dresses and clothing. She'll give a wild show. Then I'm releasing all the horses and chicken from the pens. Don't worry, I've got this Mikey. Then I'll torch the place down.

Just know when I come back you need to be ready. I'm sure he'll come for the academy at full force. Let them know to be ready.

'I will.'

The door pushed open and I looked up at the elderly woman, she scowled as she walked in and placed my dinner down. "Eat." She said before turning and walking out.

So hospitable.

I eyed the baked chicken and potatoes.

Stupid.

I picked at the potatoes with a fork and then got bored and headed into the bathroom pushing on the bottom of the vanity sink. A secret compartment dropping down. I took the book and began reading the potions.

There where so many, it was all the power in my hands. I mean I can't do any of them but they're pretty cool.

I've done two potions already, one was the poison, the other was a glow one, it makes a woman glow like a pregnant woman would.

I sat on the floor by the tub reading over Michaels scribbles and smiling at them.

A knock came to the door and I pushed the book back into its secret compartment before I pushed it closed and headed out the bathroom.

Nevana stood there in the doorway, her eyes soft on me.

I eyed her in confusion, then she smiled and shut the door locking it. "It is so good to see you." She said widening her smile.

"What are you doing here? Are you on Lucious's side?" I asked suspiciously.

She scoffed and rolled her eyes "I'm a spy hun. I've been one for over twenty years. My brothers would never suspect me to betray them. I heard you're eating for two now." She cocked an eyebrow walking around Michaels room.
