It was the same room, the same color of blood…Fina thought as she moved closer to the fountain blood.
July 12th July.
"Whatever happened here was recent except for the cobwebs" Zo said
"Or maybe the cobwebs have already been here in the first place" Shelly said as she stared at the painting. "I have never seen something so old and yet so new before."
"Then that means someone knows about the book. Someone who would kill to have it" Fina said
She looked away from the fountain blood when she saw a light appeared at the fireplace. The ghost was stroking the fire with her back turned to them.
"I think…Oh bad crazy Talon!" Shelly said, frightened.
She had turned mid sentence to see the ghost stroking the fire.
"What? What is it?" Zo asked
"You mean you don't see the ghost stroking the fire?" Shelly asked, still frightened.
"That's ridiculous. There is no ghost. Fina, tell Shelly that she is just seeing things"
Fina didn't answer, she was busy studying the ghost. Her white hair cascaded down her back and her clothing was pure white stained with blood dripping from its hem. Still dripping.
She didn't turn. She didn't look at them. She just continued to stroke the fire gently. Then she disappeared again and Fina saw her swiftly when she entered the fountain of blood and sank deep within it like she was drowning.
"There is really a ghost?" Zo asked
Before she could say another word, Fina dived into the fountain blood. She heard Zora screamed and another splash. It was like an ocean as she went deeper into the blood like an abyss.
She finally felt the ground beneath her and swayed a little as she tried to maintain her balance.
She was in another room and this time she wasn't having the feeling that the ghost was killed. It was obvious as she studied the room she was in, all covered in blood and writings of I will kill you! Die! You won't change! I won't allow you to change! I won't let you give it to them! I will find it and take it back! But not until I kill you all!
There were torn clothes on the floor and shattered glasses on the floor.
"Mr Sanders would definitely be pleased about this fight. I swear that man's favorite drink is blood and food is flesh. Who takes enjoyment in watching students beat the crap out of each other? Not that I mind, of course, as long as I'm the one doing the beating" Shelly said as she studied the room.
"Am I the only one having strange…..stra…vi…bes about this room?" Zora asked shakily.
Although, they all entered the fountain blood, they do not have a single stain on their uniform.
Blood dripped from the chandelier and dripped on Fina's uniform. Fina froze and looked up sharply.
It dripped on her face and she moved away.
"Fin. Wait" Shelly said "There is something on the edge"
Fina looked more closely and saw a ring hanging loosely at the edge.
Shelly was the one who jumped to snatch it but not until the whole chandelier fell.
As the glass shattered on the floor, Fina saw the ghost clearly in front of her.
She had frozen gray eyes.
The ghost gave a slight smile and disappeared.
"I think she is a student of Elfina." Shelly said as she studied the bloody ring "And I definitely has a clue that she is also from the Aries house."
