Chapter 27 - Mysterious Death

Right after they have closed for the day, Lydia suddenly ran out of the hall before the teacher could, and seeing that she is not acting normal, Abel also ran out as he gave chase until she stopped at the locker room while staring at the floor.

"Is everything alright Lydia?" asked Abel as he took a step forward.

There was silence until Lydia knelt down and begin to observe the floor before looking at the drain in hope of seeing bloodstain but there was nothing there and she had to let out a deep sigh.

"I guess it hasn't happened yet" Lydia said before getting up and it was only then that she knew she was not alone.

"what hasn't happened yet" asked Abel with a frown.

"oh, it's nothing of that important" replied Lydia with a smile.

"with the way that you have been acting in class is strange and you are claiming that nothing is wrong. You know I am no longer considered a human so I think I will be able to understand what you say" said Abel.

Lydia hesitated a little since it is not certain that the vision will come to pass but decided to let him know anyways.

"I have a vision and in the vision, there was a headless body laying on the floor with blood flowing into the drain".

"Do you manage to figure out who's body it is" asked Abel with a shocking look on his face since it's his first time seeing a banshee in action?

"I could not find the head anywhere before the scene faded away but not to worry, sometimes my vision doesn't come to pass, it has a thirty percent chance of happening" replied Lydia before walking out of the locker room.

"It chances of happening may be quite low but there is a chance that it will come to pass, so I say we should inform Mr. McCray about it" suggested Abel.

"It's no big deal to disturb Mr. McCray about something like this, so I suggest we keep a watchful eye over the school especially the locker room" replied Lydia.

"There is still a problem that is bugging me, I thought banshee has the ability to see what is going to happen instead of after it has happened" asked Abel with a confused look on his face.

"That is just a movie Abel, we don't see it happening well at least not all the time. Sometimes the vision could be very confusing for us to understand and get the message" reply Lydia.

"So since you don't understand the message, you just use what you saw to try and stop the incident from happening" said Abel with a hand placed on his chin like someone who is in deep thought.

"You catch up really fast for someone who isn't a banshee" reply Lydia with a smile.

"hahaha, what can I say I am kind of interested in things like this. So what are we supposed to do now since you don't want to get Mr. McCray informed" asked Abel?

"All we have to do is keep a watchful eye over the place" replied Lydia.

Just as Abel was about to speak up, his nose suddenly picked a scent and he began to sniff the air which Lydia find kind of odd.

"What are you doing sniffing the air like a dog" she asked.

"I can smell something in the air, and it seems to be coming from that way" reply Abel while pointing at one of the classrooms.

Not wasting much time, they hurried on their way towards the classroom only to see that the hall was emptied.

"There nothing here" said Lydia while looking around.

"The smell is coming from up there" reply Abel before walking forward while sniffing the air.

When he got to his destination, he raised his head to look at the ceiling which seems fine but it turns out that the smell is coming from above which left him with no choice but to climb up to take a look but to his surprise, there was nothing hidden there.

"That's strange, I could swear that that smell was coming from up here" said Abel with a frown.

"You are not a werewolf so there is no way you can pick up smell that good unless you felt the smell of blood" reply Lydia but just as she mentioned the word blood, it suddenly dawn on her that what Abel might have smelt was blood which could mean that something bad must have happened in the classroom.

"Can you still smell the scent?" asked Lydia with a worried look on her face.

"I guess but the smell is very faint" reply Abel with a frown as he was wondering what would have made Lydia so interested in what the scent was.

"Please if you can, I want to know where the scent is coming from" said Lydia.

With a nod, Abel begin to trace where the smell is coming from as they went from one room to another in search of where the scent was coming from but they were still not able to locate where the smell was coming from until the scent begin to lead to the locker room where she begins to have a bad feeling about it like the vision is about to happen.

"I hope it's not what I think it is but in my vision, Abel was not with me" thought Lydia as she continue to follow Abel from behind.

Eventually, the smell led them to the locker room where they saw a headless body laying there and Lydia pulled her head forward to take a look but the scene she saw before her make her want to scream but Abel acted quickly as he place his hand on her mouth to shut her up.

"keep it down will you. What do you plan to tell the others if they were to see us standing here" said Abel while he also tries to suppress his bloodlust?
