Masked Assassin

39

He had a smirk plastered on his face as he scanned the crowd. When Maximus's eyes landed on Scarlett, his smirk turned into a smile.

A creepy one, I might add.

From the corner of my eyes, I could see Silas and Klaus trying to move without him noticing. I guess they were trying to find a way to escape or something.

Just before he could walk to our table, someone walked in the cafeteria.

More specifically, Zavier. Or Zayne.

Maximus turned around quickly, eyes twinkling with amusement as he looked at him from head to toe.

My eyes widened, I knew what he was up to.

But I was still surprised that he could sense Colemans.

I stood up immediately, jumping in front of Maximus. I said to Klaus in our twin telepathy,' GET ZAVIER OUT OF HERE.' Fortunately, he understood why and didn't ask any questions, I only heard chairs moving behind me as I went on with what I was supposed to do.

"Hi," I said, moving my fingers up and down his bicep lightly. This is just awfully disgusting, but I had to do it as the Third Destined.

"Erm- hey," He said, trying to look over my head. I was standing on my tippy-toes, since I was shorter than I was before.

I moved left, he moved right. I moved right, he moved left. It's like some nonstop stupid dancing routine.

"Can you get out of my way?" He scowled.

"Why?" I said, trying to buy time for them to get Zavier out.

"None of your business," He said, trying to push me away, but I managed to stand rooted to the ground.

'We're in the first classroom in Block C!' I heard Klaus's voice and I let out an inaudible sigh.

I released my lock on the ground, and Maximus easily pushed me to the ground. I landed with a soft thud.

He looked around the cafeteria, clearly looking for Zavier. After he found out that he was no where in here, he stomped his foot in anger. I immediately ran off with my werewolf speed once I heard that stomp, knowing that he'll surely put the blame of losing Zavier on me.

"Any news?" Chase asked, sitting down beside me. He passed me my strawberry cheesecake frappé and I happily took it into my hands with a word of 'thanks'.

After I found them in Block C, I made them swear to not tell anyone of this incident, especially Chase. They immediately swore without any reluctance.

"Not really," Scarlett started," But my Spanish teacher was quite suspicious today. He's a warlock. He keeps stammering during talks and whispering to himself about werewolf and vampire hybrids."

"What's your teacher's name?" Alexa asked, spinning a pen with her fingers.

"Mr Williams."

Alexa nodded her head, then proceeded to write his name down on her notepad.

All of us were in Starbucks, waiting for the other group to come back from their patrolling, to share some news.

But it has been half an hour already and they still hadn't arrive yet.

"Hey, where's Zavier?" Oliver suddenly asked.

"I think he stayed back in school or something," Chase shrugged, waving him off.

I would have trusted him, since you know, he's Chase, but the weird tingling sensation that had started at the back of my neck told me otherwise.

"We have to go," I stood up abruptly, causing my frappé to topple over," Now."

"What's wrong?" Kayla asked, everyone looking at me curiously.

"Something's wrong. Someone's in trouble."

A.N.

Hey guys! Sorry for the long wait :( I'm in Indonesia for a holiday and I didn't have any time to write a chapter for M.A. I finally found the time when I went to have lunch. And I could only update this chapter when I got back to the hotel which was about 4pm? Sorry.

I hope you like this chapter though :)
