It'd been a week since Luke had received the threat mail from Hussain. Ever since I'd been keeping a close eye for him making sure he wasn't getting or hurt. Because even though Luke had made me promise not to worry about him I just couldn't help it. I couldn't bear if anything happened to him.

I thought it was going to be okay and Hussain wasn't actually going to play anything but I was wrong. Completely wrong. It was all going down tonight at the university.

It was a Friday and I was in my classroom sat at my desk sipping some coffee. I had plenty of work to take care of tonight. It was most of the things I'd missed out on in the time I wasn't working but it had to be done eventually.

I was currently typing up reports for a couple of the history classes which needed to have happened weeks ago but it didn't. Being head of history did have some benefits but it was pretty stressful as everyone would pressure you wanting things done.

I quickly finished typing the reports flexing my wrists. I glanced at my watch checking the time. It was 10:45.pm. I should have headed home by now but it wasn't too big of a deal. Normally most members of staff would go home around 9, there was only a couple departments who went home earlier which were the art, photography, science and math departments. The departments who would leave around 10 would be the English, language and a couple other departments including the history department, they'd never be in the school later than 10:30.pm though. If I was ever staying late then I was always the last to leave from the history department. I guess I would just do late hours today.

I sent the documents I'd finished working on to the printer realising I'd need to go all the way down the stairs to the history department staffroom which was just long. I grabbed my lanyard getting up from my seat and left my classroom locking the door.

A couple minutes later I was standing by the printer in the staff room waiting for my printing.

The reports finally printed. I picked up the sheets of papers ready to head Back to the class but my heart almost jumped out of my chest in the next event.

Before I went to the staff room I checked around the history block realising the whole department had gone home so the only one in the block was me. It was completely empty. So I wasn't expecting anyone to be in that staffroom right behind me. But they weren't supposed to be there anyways.

I turned around but as soon as I did someone grabbed me by my tie thrusting me against the wall. I dropped both my lanyard and the paperwork I'd collected a couple seconds ago hearing the jingle of my keys hitting the floor along with the clatter of the teacher ID on that lanyard and the sound of papers falling to the floor.

I felt a cold sharp metal item pressed against my neck as my wrists were seized. And I looked up to see the man I hated more than anyone and anything.

Hussain.

"I..what the hell do you want!" I shouted, adrenaline rushing through my body. Hussain pressed the metal item deeper into my neck, i winced at the pain. My neck felt wet underneath the metal.

"You little fucker. Thought you could get away with it huh?" Hussain sniggered.

I started trying to wiggle free from Hussain's grip on my wrists succeeding, I pushed him away from me realising the metal object he was holding against my neck was a sharp knife and it had blood on there. My blood.

"Oh so you come here and fucking slice my neck, nice. What the fuck do you want" I said giving Hussain a death stare.

"What do I want? I want you dead" Hussain said walking towards me with the knife held up to me.
