    Thank you, that means a lot to me! I should have the next chapter up very soon.
  2. Thank you for reading 😊 I'm happy you're enjoying it.
  3. More shockers coming soon! 😊
  4. 9. BETRAYAL I'd pinned my hopes on a swift response from Eric Van Sant, my mentor's esteemed colleague. But weeks crawled by, devoid of letter or call. The scientist could have vanished, or worse, dismissed my plea for help unread. Panic gnawed at me. Vincent, true to his word, became a ghost for the rest of November. Every encounter yielded a vague response to my whereabouts inquiries. At least Maratoni wasn't actively tormenting me. For the most part, he was busy avoiding me,
  5. Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it!
  6. Good observations! 😊
  7. 8. ERIC VAN SANT Fury fueled my steps as I stormed toward the headmistress' office. This had to end somehow. Maratoni was obviously unwilling to teach me and was thus putting the entire school at great risk. My gift was completely unmanageable, and I couldn’t live with myself if I accidentally hurt someone else. I slammed my fist against the heavy oak door before it could be answered. Trusting greeted me with a surprised but pleasant smile. "Dani, what a nice surprise."
  8. 7. THE AMERICAN PROTECTION LEAGUE “What the hell was all that about?” Angelo asked after we got back to my room, while Laura sunk down on my bed with a nervous look on her face. We all felt very uneasy about the information we learned from the exchange between Trusting and the black-haired woman. “This... is much worse than anything we could have anticipated,” she muttered. “Who was that woman?” I asked, clueless about the gravity of the situation. “I wasn’t entirely
  9. 6. CRUEL INTENTIONS My woes about Maratoni spilled out like a dam overflowing. As I recounted his infuriating lack of guidance and the bizarre nurse visits, Angelo and Laura listened patiently. “Surely, there’s a good reason for the nurse, and for Maratoni sticking to Vinicius’ approach of just letting you figure things out on your own... organically, you know?” Laura offered tentatively. We both knew it was a reach. “Maratoni despises me. Maybe he invented the nurse thin

    Working on it!
  11. 5. NURSE MILDRED That night I was plagued by a nightmare again. This time, Baritone High burned, engulfed in a terrifying inferno. I stood helpless at the edge of the woods. Flames licked hungrily at the building, screams from inside lost in the roar of the fire. Across the burning yard, Vincent watched, with the same entranced look on his face as when he watched Maratoni bite into his human blood donor. He met my gaze, raised both of his arms as if to say, ‘oh well’, and smiled

  17. Dalton “Dear Luke, What a strange thing to be calling you Luke! I’ve known you by Mr. Hearst for three years now, so this feels really weird. But in a good way, so personal and intimate. There’s no formal separation between us anymore. No student and teacher divide holding us apart. There’s just Luke and Noelle. Our names go nicely together, don’t you think? Sort of musical and whimsical and cute. I have a confession, please don’t judge. The other day I wrote my first name with your las
  18. Dalton Dalton walked over to Professor Hearst’s study and plopped down on the blue sofa. He had an essay due, his last one before summer break, and he was struggling with it. They played a round of chess while discussing what approach Dalton could take for the essay. "Hold on, I have a book that will be of help." Professor Hearst got up and walked over to the very end of his bookcase, where at the top behind glass he housed his most prized possessions. Vintage, rare editions, autographed cop

  23. DALTON Two weeks after the accident Dalton overheard a curious exchange between Principal Jones and Professor Hearst, as he was on his way to the man’s office. "I just had a student tell me that he saw you with Noelle the night she died. You told the police you hadn't seen her that day." "I forgot. She came to return a book," Professor Hearst replied, cool and collected as always. "At midnight?" The Professor remained silent. "Give me one reason why I shouldn't call the detect
