In Phantium H.S everything seemed to be going like usual; students were working, Teachers were teaching and the principal was in a meeting with the only student, who was a Member of the G.H Assembly, which was pretty unusual.
Ever since the announcement given to them by the Council, it was her task to keep the principal, as well as the other Members of the Assembly at school, informed of what was happening in the classrooms.
Sure it was only 9am but she'd do another report at 12, if there was an emergency that arose.
"For the moment nothing strange has occurred, a few pupils are absent but the teachers are all accounted for. Nothing in the secret base has gone missing and nothing odd has occurred." She reported
The principal, Mr. GreatHill looked at the other Members of Assembly and they all thought one thing...this is taking too long. And like always, the History Professor Mr. Reymond Hex was the first to talk about it. He leaned closer on his chair and looked at the others with an exasperated expression as he asked, "Is there really going to be a possession or not?We have been announced of a Possession four months ago, usually it takes in the maximum three weeks before we see one, but four months...! (Sighs), perhaps the Council was mistaken." He concluded
"The Council never makes mistakes Reymond, I know not why it is taking so long but a possession will take place. Perhaps it has already occured but we do not know it." Explained Principal GreatHill as he rubbed his long grey beard thoughtfully
"I will continue to keep an eye out for any sign of Possession, but I believe what GreatHill says, never has the Council been wrong, it was a warning that my father once gave me." Said Elizabeth with a hint of sadness in her voice
The Librarian Mrs. Harding Write agreed to the student's words, "She is absolutely right but seeing as it's taking so much time, I say we summon a spirit and find it a body to dwell in. That way if indeed a possession occurs, the spirit will sense it and have it banished where it belongs."
"What you suggest is a wonderful idea Mrs. Harding, but if we summon the spirit too soon and the possession does not occur before the spirit moves on, then we will have waisted precious time and lives will be at stake. For summoning yet another spirit will take weeks...say months even!" Explained Mr. Reymond while drumming his fingers on the table
"And even if we do summon it, who will it dwell in? Spirits are the only ones abled to see a possession but only for a short time, so whoever it dwells in must be able to draw very quickly. Meaning that mortals from this school are excluded since none of them have been blessed with such gifts. And if there is one we know not about then they are too meek to be a Hunter." Said the Cafeteria Lady Ms. Clinton
"I say, why not get one of our members to take the spirit in, someone trained and prepared for the possession through bloodline?" Proposed the principal already smiling at his idea
The others looked at him with bewilderment, finally the student asked, "And who did you have in mind GreatHill? We have not a member who is trained for such a task and we barely know if the possession will take place here, in this particular school." She reminded with a raised eyebrow
"Tis indeed true that we have not a person trained for the task but you, my dear will make a fine vessel." He answered, his smile showing just how earnest he was about his decision
Elizabeth held her chest and looked shockingly at the nodding Principal. She wanted to say something but realized she was without words and so were the others. But soon Ms. Clinton stood up and stated, "With all due respect, Elizabeth is the youngest of all the Assembly Members and has not been prepared to let a spirit overtake her. It could be dangerous for her and if she fails to withstand the spirit's force, it will then leave and we will not get any closer to finding the possession, making it also dangerous for us... Especially the mortals!" She sounded horrified as she thought of what an unstopped possession could bring and she shivered before taking her seat again
