Miller and Alex were in their room talking to each other, as usual. Watson wasn't in the room as he had gone to the library earlier.
"It's 9:45, almost 10 o' clock. Why isn't Watson back yet." Miller said worried. "Should we check up on him."
"I don't know," Alex said, worry creeping into his voice. "It's not like him to be this late. What if something's happened to him?"
"That's what I'm worried about," Miller said, pacing back and forth. "We need to find him, but where should we even start looking?"
Just then, the door to the room burst open, and Watson stumbled in, panting and clutching his side. "Guys, you have to help me," he said, his voice hoarse. "Something terrible has happened."
"What's it?" Miller and Alex asked in unison.
"I don't know if it is rumours." Watson said. "Few Students are missing."
"Students are missing?" Alex said, his voice full of alarm. "That's not rumors, that's serious! Who's missing?"
"I'm not sure of the names yet," Watson said, trying to catch his breath.
"Wait. Do you guys think that the Dark Magician is doing this." Miller said in a serious tone.
"That's true. Maybe he is trying to take his revenge because we took Emily..." Watson was even able to finish his sentence before Miller immediately spoke.
"Emily!" Miller said. "Oh No."
Before they could even talk to Miller. He had ran out of the room. Miller put most of his Stats points into his Speed. So right now, he was faster than usual and people would see him as nothing but a blur.
"I guess he is really worried about her." Watson said as the breeze touched his face.
"Yes. You are right." Alex replied.
BUZZ!
BUZZ!
A message entertered both Alex and Watson's watch. It was from Catherine, they played the Audio.
"Hmmm. Guys. I was trying to contact Miller, but he isn't replying. I wanted to ask if you guys have seen Lillian."
"Please if you have seen Lillian call me." She concluded.
"What is going on." Watson complained.
*******
The sound of heavy breathing echoed through the road, and around the corner came Miller, his face red and his chest heaving. He skidded to a stop in front of Jason.
Jason's shoulders were slumped, his eyes dull and his expression one of deep sorrow. He sat in a corner of the school garden, staring into space as if he were lost in thought. There was a heaviness about him, a sense of defeat and hopelessness that seemed to envelop him. No one dared to approach him, afraid of the emotional storm that might erupt if they did.
Miller was actually going to the School Clinic, because according to Catherine. That is where Jason and Emily were this morning. He wanted to go and check if she was okay. On his way, he had heard Jason's heartbeat and he Branched to the School Garden and he saw him sitting and with his good eye sight at night. He could see tears rolling down his cheeks.
"What Happened." Miller said as he started walking towards Jason with anger.
"She has been taken again." Jason said with sorrow.
"Who." Miller said as he was now standing in front of him.
"Emily. She has been..." Jason couldn't complete his sentence as Miller had instantly used his right hand to press his shoulder almost breaking the bones. "Aargh!"
"Tell me who took her!" Miller roared, his grip on Jason's shoulder tightening until the other boy was wincing in pain. "I'm not going to ask again!"
"I don't know who the person was. He was dressed in a way i couldn't figure out who he or she is." Jason managed to grit out, his face contorted in agony.
Miller's eyes narrowed, a dangerous glint appearing in them. "Tell me everything you know," he growled. "I'm going to find them, and when I do, they're going to regret ever laying a hand on her."
"Miller. Calm down." The System warned. "You are hurting him."
This was when Miller noticed and let go of his grip.
"Aargh." Jason was relieved that Miller's hand was no longer holding him.
Jason then told Miller every single thing he knows and how Emily was no more.
"Thank You." Miller said as he ran off. He didn't use his Super Speed to run because of Jason was looking at him. But when he got to a far away place that nobody could see him. He instantly ran with his full speed to Victor's Officer.

*Knock Knock
Miller went back to the hostel and the first place he went to was Victor's Office and he made a knock at the door. He didn't even bother to go and check up on his roomates.
The door was opened and standing there was none other than Victor Carter, who looked like he had been sleeping for sometime.
"I need your help." Miller said as he entered inside the office and Victor closed the door behind him.
"What is it this time." Victor complained.
"It's about Emily. She's been taken again." Miller said. "Can you help me find out who took her with Magic. PLEASE!"
"I can do that..." Victor wasn't able to complete his sentence as the sound of Miller's watch receiving notification was heard.
"Won't you pick it up." Victor said looking at Miller's watch.
"Fine." Miller said as he looked at his watch to see the messages. There were too messages. One from Catherine and another from Alex. Alex Message was just sent now and Catherine's message had been sent for like five minutes ago.
The message from Catherine read:
"Hi, Miller. I wanted to ask if you have seen Lillian. She hasn't arrived in the hostel and it is almost curfew."
The message from Alex read:
"Bro, this is serious and we have to act fast. Some guys dressed in a black outfit that covered their entire body attacked me and Watson. Shockingly, they were even faster and stronger than me and beat me until i fell to the ground. When i raised my head up, Watson wasn't there anymore and so were they."
"Watson has been abducted!"
The messages ended.
Miller didn't know what to do and didn't understand why this would suddenly happen. Then out of the blue, Victor asked him a question.
"Miller. Is Emily also Missing?" Victor asked.
"Yes, she is." Miller replied.
"Then i think i know who took the three of them." Victor said. "It's the Werewolves and they plan to initiate them to Become a Werewolf like them."
