Chereads / CURSED TO BECOME THE DARKNESS / Chapter 3 - Bracelet 1

Chapter 3 - Bracelet 1

' It all doesn't add up ', thought Maddie. Her brown orbs giving off the emotion of fear and confusion. She looked up from her desk, the teacher stood in front of the class and was saying something but she wasn't even listening to a word.

The students were listening to him, paying attention which wasn't like them, usually only few would be so attentive while others would be up to one thing or the other under their desk.

She stared down at her hands which rested on her desk, her hands were blurred in her eyes and the bracelet which had been tormenting her was no longer there.

The school bell rang and that brought Maddie back to her senses. Everyone of the students got up scurrying to their next class while she remained seated.

She stared back at her hands. The bracelet which was invisible now seemed visible. She felt the jewellery at the tip of her fingers, feeling the strong beads that it was made of.

Silver beads in the shape of small stones with a pink bead which was shaped in the form of a small love.

She quickly stood up, grabbed her textbooks and rushed out of the classroom still clinging to the bracelet, but on her way, she bumped into someone causing a commotion in the almost empty hallway.

" This is why I hate school, it's never a good place", a deep voice spoke above her as she squatted down to pick her text books and the bracelet that had fallen by accident.

Her movements were clumsy, her thoughts were scattered, she just felt like she couldn't even breathe.

Not bothering to apologise to the person, she just looked up at him and walked away. Liam sighed, no sorry, how rude, he thought and walked into the same class room, the girl just came out from.

" Mr Cohen", the teacher stood up and greeted him with a smile as he saw Liam enter. " It's nice to finally meet you", the teacher, Mr Garrett said still smiling.

Garrett was a young man within his thirties dressed in a fine silver suit and had sharp black hair. The suit enhancing the muscles in his body.

Liam stared back at him with a smile that was intimidating in comparison to Garrett's cheerful smile.

" I feel the same way, I've actually been dreaming of my meet with you", exclaimed Liam wearing that intimidating smile on his face.

" Now, on to important matters, where's what I asked for?", he quickly went straight to the point not wasting anytime.

He stood next to the closed door not bothering to walk over to Garrett. His brown eyes were slightly narrowed and his thin lips were curved up at the sides.

With his all black clothing and his dark brown hair combed to the back like that of a gentleman, he looked both intimidating and innocent.

Garrett who was still standing over at his chair quickly hurried over to where Liam was, he deeped his hand inside his coat's pocket bringing out a particular old brown box with gold designs at the edges.

He stretched the box over to Liam, who had worn a glove on his hand before collecting the box from Garrett. He stuffed it inside his own pocket and removed the glove.

" Garrett isn't it?", he asked this time with a genuine smile on his face. Garrett nodded instantly at the young man who was smiling at him, clearly he hadn't heard the rumors about Liam as he wasn't quite in the behavior he liked people in.

And obviously he had mistaken Liam for the good brother, the one who always did good things, Liam chucked outwardly at the thought of his brother.

" I want you to send a message for me", he said still wearing that genuine smile. Before Garrett could ask what he wanted, he wrapped his right hand over the man's neck and threw him with force to the wall at the end of the classroom.

Garrett's eyes lifted with questions and the pain that came from his back. He stood up in pain, and that was when he realized, this was the other Mr Cohen not the one he was told to give the box to.

Liam made his way slowly towards the end of the classroom where the man stood confused and scared at the same time.

" There's no need to be scared. It's just a message I need you to send for me", Liam said finally reaching Garrett who stood cowering in fright.

" Pathetic human", he said calmly, the smile no longer on his face as it was replaced with a deadly look. The next thing, Garrett was thrown out of the classroom through the window falling down from the fourth storey building.

Liam walked away like he had not just killed someone in broad day light, kicking the chairs and desks off his way as he left.

He opened the door and spared one glance at the class room. Not bothered, he started humming a tune as he walked out of the classroom shutting the door behind him.

" So the bitch is missing, I guess the saying still remains, try not to have too much enemies or you will die quickly", a red haired teenage boy commented as he chuckled deeply.

In everyone of his friends who stood with him as they walked back to class, he was the least bit concerned about the news of Vanessa Kings missing.

" Joe is right you know, Vanessa had so many enemies but what do you think, she's the mayor's daughter, no one would dare kidnap the mayor's daughter especially knowing the consequences", Kingsley, a brown haired, said to his other friends who stood near him.

They had just sneaked out of school only to sneak back in through the part of the school they were sure only they knew about. They had to get back to class and have their names marked present or they would be punished by the principal.

" Guys?", Henry, a beautiful blonde boy called out to them. He was standing far away seemingly hooked to the sight of something.

" What's it now Henry? A dead snake?", Joe asked sarcastically as they laughed walking over to where he was.

Their laughter died down immediately, Joe, the red haired and the bravest was the first to react.

" Jesus!!! That's Mr Garrett from History class", he screamed as he stepped away. " What do you think happened?", Henry asked recovering from his shock, his face a bit pale.

Kingsley the brown haired was puking his guts out at a corner next to the bushes while the last of them all, Jonathan, a black haired boy, just stood blankly, this was the first time any of them had come to see such a sight.

Mr Garrett's face was totally disfigured, his eyes were still wide open and blood was spilling everywhere.

Soon enough, students had come out to see the scene as Joe had screamed it out loud in a particular classroom instead of reporting directly to the school authorities and the news which seemed unbelievable had prompted students to go see for themselves, the place became packed with curious students.
