"Our child was murdered brutally and you just said it would be dealt with", Mr. Shaw who appeared calmer than his sobbing wife, objected at the principal's behavior for the umpteen time.
The Principal just rolled her eyes suggesting the male, quit whining if anything was to be solved.
"Quit whining, solve something, whatever are you talking about Lin...
"That is enough", the principal finally intervened, hearing someone use her name so casually brought back unnecessary memories.
There was a moment of silence as the sobbing wife lifted her head from her hands, puffy eyes staring unblinkingly at the principal. Her eyes turned a deep crimson color, momentarily, before shifting back to the original chocolate brown.
"As you wish", the principal got the unspoken message loud and clear, causing the men, possibly twins standing on either side of the principal to exchange a knowing look.
"Excuse me?" Mr. Shaw asked awkwardly, scratching the back of his neck.
"There's nothing left to say or is it?" the principal asked the oblivious Mr. Shaw, "they all ask for the same thing after the trauma".
The principal wiped her tears as if mocking the couple.
Everyone watched in horror as the younger woman lunged at the older one, her nails scraping the principal's cheek as she yelled profanities over and over again. The principal narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips the distaste for the couple evident on her bloody face.
"Take them away."
The Principal sighed rubbing her temples as the twins dragged the said couple out of the office. The woman glared at the pocket mirror as she noticed her graying hair and bloodied wrinkly face.
She was scared she would die before her purpose was accomplished.
For now, she had to deal with the problem at hand. She paced her office waiting for the boy. The one, everybody was afraid of. There was a knock on the door signaling the principal to act professionally.
"Come in, come in I was waiting for you".

The supernatural world used to be ruled by seven monarchs, Pride, Greed, Lust, Envy, Gluttony, Wrath, and Sloth.
Their reign was not ideal, everything was mayhem and chaos, the decision was made to strip them of their title and banish them forever.
Despite everyone's belief, the world was still in chaos, and the balance diminished.
To get everything under control the council decided to make a balancing prophecy.
The decision was final, a boy was chosen. He would lead a normal life until he was of age.
But like they say, "all good comes with evil".
