Chapter 11 - The symbol

Next day...

I and Lucas were having a one on one basketball match in inner basketball stadium. He was tapping the ball I went forward and turned swiftly taking the ball from his hand and started tapping it.

"Who were they?"I stopped tapping and held the ball in my palm at shoulder level.

Lucas placed his hand on my shoulder and jumped above my head taking the ball and landed on other side.

"Hunters"He kept tapping ball sliding it in between his legs.

"The one who kills werewolves" I once again took the ball and went towards basket, he passed by me taking the ball from my hand and threw it through the hoop making the goal

"More precisely the one who kills all supernatural predators" He passed the ball to me.

I took the ball and started tapping it....suddenly the door banged open and jenn came running in and stopped, gasping her breath she spoked.

"A body..... police found a body at the back of school, they said its an animal attack" We all looked at each other Lucas got our bags and we took a run to the the back.

---------------

We pushed through the crowd to the front and stopped.It a girl I didntsee her face clearly..they were putting her body in the ambulance.With police around investigating the area and asking questions I spotted my mom there beside the ambulance checking the body. My mom is an skilled doctor and works in the towns hospital.She sometimes needs to go out of the town to treat some patients.

I ran towards her "Mom" jenn and lucas followed me to my mom. My mom turned around "Oh my stella, what are you doing here?"

"We heard there was a body found so we came to check"

"Yes, poor girl" I looked at the body and stumbled Lucas got me and helped me stay right put, It was her the girl I saw with lucas yesterday morning and the one who stumbled.Jenn didn't liked the view quite and looked like she was about to puke.

My Mom looked at our faces and asked

"Do you guys perhaps know her?"

Lucas came forward "Wendy, she was someone We have seen many times in school" He leaned closer to the body there was a symbol carved beneath her collor bones on her chest. We looked closer to that symbol. It was a spiral but it was carved on top of an X..I looked at Lucas he backed up.

My mom placed her hand on my shoulder "You kids should go back inside now, its not good to remain in such environment"

We nodded and walked away before going in I once again looked back sighed and walked inside.

We all had same class economic class jenn sat in front of me and Lucas at side. "Do you think its an animal attack, like they are telling?"

"It could have been, but I don't think so"

Jenn turned her head behind.

"Hey...are there others out there...like you?"

"Well there are and maybe he was the one that bit stella"I looked at Lucas "You weren't the one that bit me?" I really thought he was the one all this time.

"Nope it was an alpha and you are a part of his pack, he can be the one doing this to signal you that he is still out there looking for you."

"And what if I don't wanna join his pack or whatever?"

"You will be an Omega, a one without a pack, an identity, just like me"His words, even though he said it with a straight face I could feel the emotions beneath it.

"Well sorry to let you down ,I have an identity that is I'm stella and you too have an Identity and that is Lucas Garcia."

He didn't gave any respond to that and started looking outside the window.

I opened my books last page and started drawing the symbol we saw craved on wendy's body.

"An X on top of spiral"

I looked up to find a boy standing in front of the desk with brown eyes, dark blond hair fair skin, he pointed his finger towards the symbol.

"I'm talking about this" he kept his bag on desk and sat in front of Lucas.

We all looked at each other then jenn asked him "Do you know this symbol?" He took the book from my desk in his hands.

"Well usually it's only a spiral that is drawn, it indicates the flow of universe or continuation of process but sometimes when two symbols are merged it gives different meanings like this one, An X on top of spiral is that the process is going to stop or it can also indicate that the process will only stop when everything ends."

Me and jenn gasped but Lucas still had a straight face like he already knew the meaning , and maybe he wasn't even planning to tell us.

He kept the book back on my desk. " Oh by the way I'm Ryker Cazador." He smiled at us, We too introduced ourselves.

" I'm stella Sebastian"

"Jennifer Blythe"

He turned to Lucas "I'm Lucas, Lucas Garcia"

"Garcia, quite a known family name, I guess" Lucas started glaring him, even though Ryker didn't notice but we all did.

I was wondering why he said that, but by jenns look maybe she did and so did everyone. And it looked like I was the only one that didn't know what was going on.

Teacher entered the class and everyone went back to their seats, jenn and Ryker too turned to face forward.Teacher started walking back and forth "As we all know an body was found at the back of the school, and thinking about this thing will not give any help to the police or anyone, So how about you use the not used part of your brain to focus on your studies"

He was surprisingly more annoying today than normal days.
