Chereads / The Shattered Prophecy / Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5: THE DOOMED CHILD

Chapter 5 - CHAPTER 5: THE DOOMED CHILD

"Rachael what actually happened during professor Malcolm's lecture because I know you aren't the type to sleep during lectures". Lizzy asked Rachael worriedly. It turns out that Lizzy was at the front seat during professor Malcolm's class,so she couldn't talk with either Rachael or Lucas because they were at the back seat so she was worried that the professor would walk Rachael out of class.

"Honestly Rachael, that was the first time professor Malcolm forgave a student,"Lucas said as he stared at Rachael as if he was going to eat her up.

"Come on Lucas you are scaring the girl. They all turned to know where the noise came from. And standing there was Kyler Lynch and Jay.A.Smith, and the one spoke was Jay. Rachael was shocked, Lucas was surprised and Lizzy, well you can say that she was actually drooling.

Jay introduced himself not minding the shock on their faces, "Am Jayden A. Smith, but you can call me Jay, this one here on my left is Kyler Lynch" Jay introduced as he stared at Rachel.

"Oh, am Lucas, this is Rachael and Lizzy." Lucas said as he tried to think of any reason Jay A. Smith would come to introduce himself. Not only Lucas, everyone was surprised as they tried to figure out the reason.

"Aren't you going to invite us to eat lunch with you, don't you know it's rude to keep your guests standing." Kyler asked as she stared at the three people in front of her. Rachael immediately snapped out of her daze and said "we're sorry, please sit down". Jay immediately sat close to Rachael as Kyler had to sit close to Lizzy who she found very nosy. They all were eating and chatting as if they had been friends for the past months.

At the other end of the hall, Liam frowned as he turned to look at the three people with him. "This girl is mysterious, I can't read her". "I also can't hear her heartbeat, it's just like she has a barrier around her, but I can't see any".

Emily grunted as she stared at Rachael. "Why are you all so concerned about this new girl, except for the fact that she is beautiful I don't see any interesting characteristics". Jezel said, while waiting for Gabriel to give the final say.

"Jezel tell me, can you hear her thoughts, her heartbeat or anything about her, can you?This is the first time this has happened. Even Gabriel can't see through her". Emily said as she stared at Rachael again.

Rachael felt as if she was being watched and when she turned around, she saw four pairs of eyes watching her. Immediately she caught them, they looked away. Rachael thought it was strange why they would look at her or maybe she was imagining things, maybe they were only looking at Jay and Kyler. She consoled herself.

"Rach did you hear him?" Lizzy asked Rachael as she moved closer. "Jay invited us to the school's ball this year, he said we can join them. Lizzy said Rachael was shocked because she thought as the Six Devils they would be rude, cold and arrogant so she was surprised to see Jay inviting her to join them.

"Uhmm we will think about it"Lucas said not wanting to act cold or friendly to them,he decided to remain neutral until he figured out their reason, because as far as he knows, the Six Devils doesn't just sit with anyone, or invite anyone.

While everyone was immersed in their thoughts, Rachael stood up, she walked to the end of the hall and just stood there staring at the wall as if it was a work of art. They were all confused, what was so interesting about the wall that the new student stared at it as if it was her life force. Rachael continued looking at the wall not minding the strange stares she received from everyone, suddenly she she reached out her hand to touch the wall.

....

"Lauren runnnn, "Save me," "Why did you kill me?".

Rachael stared at the scene in front of her, why must it be the school's field. She turned while staring at all the students, some dead, some covered in blood. And when she looked down, she saw blood everywhere, "LAUREN THE DOOMED CHILD" "LAUREN" "LAUREN" "WHY DID YOU KILL US ALL?" "WHYYYY" "IT IS HER NATURE, A KILLER, YOU KILLED YOUR PARENTS". Rachael heard voices which taunted her, why must it be the same dream, she started crying as she stared at all the students who looked at her with accusing gaze "I didn't kill anyone, am not a killer" she tried to defend herself as they grabbed her arms, hair and her clothes.

.................................

Everyone stared at the beautiful girl on the floor and whispered to each other "What's wrong with her, she just touched the wall and then she fainted". A boy said, Lizzy rushed as she bent down beside Rachael, "Rachael are you okay!"

"Rachael" Lucas called but they all responded with silence. "Excuse me everyone".

Emily said as she pushed the crowd and went close to Rachael "she is still breathing, let's take her to the infirmary". Everyone nodded at her suggestion as Lizzy and Lucas helped to carry her to the infirmary. When they reached there, Lizzy dispersed the crowd, though they still wanted to know what happened but when they met the gaze of Kyler and Liam, they all kept the thought at the back of their mind and ran back.

IN A SECLUDED MOUNTAIN 2

"Alex behind you!!" Iris shouted. CLANG, CLANG, CLANG. Sounds of swords could be heard from afar.

"Hehe that was easy" Alex said as he flipped his imaginary hair.

"Thanks to me, you were able to dodge all the swords coming your way. I saved your ass, so you owe me one!" Iris replied as she picked up their weapons.

"You you You guys aren't humans. Who are you, what are you, who sent you here??" Mr Frank asked incoherently.

"We, we are people of course, and sent by people too. Hahahahahahahahaha". Alex said in humor.

"Alex can you be serious for once and shut up" Iris said irritatedly.

"But I was trying to answer his question. You taught me that it is rude to leave people's questions unanswered". Alex said innocently.

"Seriously Alex are you really gonna do this right now?" Iris said angrily, "If we don't leave this place in the next 20 minutes, we are going to be surrounded by Frank's henchmen". Alex went back to being serious and knocked Frank out. "We should tie him up, so he can be easier to carry" he suggested.
