HURRY THIS IS THE LONGEST CHAPTER I HAVE EVER WRITTEN ENJOY PEOPLE.
As the hours ticked slowly, Slyvia was at the reading class her focus was on her book trying to summarize the assignment given to them in their biology class it was tiring and frustrating, if only Lucinda was still around the work would have been a piece of cake but something kept bugging her so much she was worried, she has finally realized what was happening, the great danger surrounding them in Ivory high, so trying to ask something from Emily she looked at where she was seated only to see her talking with Hadrian. Slyvia stiffened in shock so much she looked for Alexa but she had gone with her sadistic friends even though the thought of what they could do crept her out.
Slyvia left her book and wanted to stand when Daniel came and stopped her, then slowly he signaled her to come closer, Slyvia didn't get why Daniel suddenly became this bold to begin challenging even the class goddess "Alexa" because due to her influence challenging her was either death or perpetual expulsion, or worse still defamation. Slyvia looked at the guy suspiciously; something about him didn't suit her spirit. Daniel then let out a crooked smile and whispered.
" You know you are one strange girl, Slyvia; you helped Damian, and now that I came in, you are suspecting me. Now stop. If perhaps I want you dead, I won't allow the narrowing of your eyes to stop me from achieving my goal."
Slyvia was bewildered. Something changed. Not only did he speak in high confidence, but his tone sounded so British. Why hadn't she noticed all this? Then she realized he had been a silent one, then Daniel looked at her and whispered once more.
" You have a lot of questions, don't you, Slyvia? Why don't you follow me, and I will tell you all you want to know about me and this godamned school called Ivory High." Slyvia knew she wanted all her questions answered, but what if this weird guy corners her and ends up killing her? With all that has happened, she can't afford to trust anyway. But Daniel felt insulted and narrowed his eyes in annoyance.
" If you keep on with this behavior, Emily might end up dead cause, as you know, Alexa wasn't pleased with what happened earlier, and I am sure she is already planning on murdering your friend in such an entertaining manner." Slyvia fell silent the way the guy was saying it scared the life out of her, the coldness of his voice and the calm expression made her discomfort increase, she couldn't let anything happen to Emily she was like a family to her now so she will make sure Alexa evil intentions never came to light, finally she agreed but only on one condition.
" We won't have this discussion in an enclosed space; we shall have this conversation, but I want it to be where I would be seen." Daniel didn't argue against her wishes. He smiled, and they left the classroom.
Meanwhile, Emily was trying her very best to capture Hadrain fully, and seeing him discussing with Jayden, she sneaked out from Slyvia's peering eyes and went to have a conversation with the charming guy at the center of the classroom. So, coming close to Hadrain, she stopped.
Hadrian was in the middle of a discussion with Jayden, so seeing Emily approach them made him stop. Hadrian looked at her questionably, and she signaled Jayden to give them space. Jayden agreed, but he couldn't help but wonder about the reason for Emily's sudden interest in Hadrian.
" Okay, you are free to talk now; what's the matter," Hadrain spoke obviously in a hurry, seeing Hadrain trying to perhaps get rid of her broke her a bit but it didn't stop her because she have come to realize that if she continues harboring this feeling it might kill her, over their childhood days in Grade 3 she began to fall for Hadrain, he was a lover of women he fucks any available pussy and was never committed to any girl so she was afraid but now Alexa has begun to show interest and her feelings never died out it increased tremendously so she wanted to let it all out now.
Emily approached Hadrain closer, much closer that she sealed off any remaining gap between them and she spoke the three magic words
" I love you, Hadrian; I love your lips, your hair, even your swag gives me joy. I want you, Hadrain; will you be mine." Hadrain lips curled up in surprise and slowly he pushed Emily gently and calmly he responded.
" Loving a guy like me can get you killed, Emily. You are treading a dangerous path. I am not someone you will find so compatible; my background only is deadly, and I can't let an innocent girl like you be swallowed by my nemesis." As he says this, a scene comes to his mind the unforgivable thing his father did.
FLASHBACK( 2 years ago)
Mr Jonas was sitting regally on a huge armchair, Hadrian walked to the large room and saw before him his love, the one and only girl he ever fancied.
" Father what's going on here." Fear was evident in his eyes; Jonas laughed and faced the young, beautiful lady.
" I warned you, Hadrain, falling in love was against our rule, and you dare do it. Unfortunately, your whore has to pay the price. She will be the cult dinner." And before Hadrain's eyes, His girl's neck was slit out so gruesomely with blood gushing out of her neck
" Nooooooo, father, why.." But it was too late. His girl had been butchered and beheaded like a chicken.
BACK TO PRESENT
With this, Hadrain can never let his guard down. He won't let The cult take his happiness again. On the other hand, Emily thought she had prepared herself for this, but she was wrong. Her heart squeezed in numerous amounts of pain, but she continued.
" Can't you hear I love you Hadrian and the love I have for you is greater than any nemesis please don't do this, is it because I am not pale-skinned or I am not as glamorous as other girls, or is it because of Alexa I know she is a gorgeous girl but is it because you love her that you are treating me this way."
Hadrian felt pity for Emily, he couldn't tell why but he could feel a lot of pain in her eyes she didn't deserve to be destroyed by him, his family background was dark and if they found out he was breaking his engagement to Alexa or going with another girl he would be punished and not only that the blood of the girl would be drained and consumed and the flesh cooked and eaten and the head hanged as decoration in their meeting point, the rules of the black dragon can be barbaric.
" Emily I don't like you and can you stop this your whining it won't amount to anything, I don't want anything to deal with you, and as you said I have Alexa and she is all mine, so I advise you to find another person that will fancy you and by the way bye, my friend is waiting." Hadrian knew he was harsh, but he had no choice. If he spoke nicely, she would end up thinking there was hope, but he had to kill that hope. He couldn't allow anybody to die because of him, so he signaled Jayden and the two departed.
Emily felt torn into pieces; the way Hadrain words shattered her to pieces that were beyond repair hurt so badly. Why was she so unlucky to be born in such a body? Her mother was glamorous and beautiful, but now she was nothing but a plain piece of paper, nothing interesting. She controlled her feelings and walked away looking so lost and slowly she went to the hallway. Emily has realized she was always in the shadow of Lucinda, nobody actually noticed her, and nothing crushed her so much as the way her father kept giving her all manners of beating if she came home with 4th position in the class, but what could she do Lamia and Lucinda were the class prince and princess followed by Daniel then her, Emily finally let it all out, the pain and the torture.
She cried so much that her throat began to sting, and she spoke sorrowfully, " All I ever wanted was love. I wanted someone who would see me for who I am, but unfortunately, I will never find that person."
Unknown to Emily Alexa was trailing her all this while hiding in different pillars hands vibrating and clenching in hate and displeasure, she saw all the things displayed by Emily and Hadrian, she watched it in a hidden camera and now she wanted her dead so she entered a dark store where people were forbidden from entering and using a sharp knife she started cutting a rope, she was laughing so evilly and imagining how sweet her death would be and when the rope was almost detached she left the store.
Emily who sat on the floor finally got up and decided to leave looking so miserable and walking she was oblivious to the dangling chandelier before her head, the chandelier kept lowering down continuously till the rope finally snapped, Hadrain was coming from the other edge with Jayden and seeing the chandelier falling he ran madly towards the dangling chandelier and pushed Emily so much that she fell on top of Hadrain which made their lips to collide in rhythm leading to a short kiss.
Suddenly the beautiful moment was disturbed by a shattering sound which occurred nearby and Emily looked back in horror and saw the huge chandelier shattered into a million pieces then It dawned on her Hadrain saved her life, the noise attracted a lot of students and the hall was filled with gasps of various students who were beyond shocked by what happened. Hadrian eyes were locked on Emily's own and for a moment it was like the world around them stood still realizing what was happening they both got up but Emily dashed out in such an unladylike manner that made people gasp but even all this Alexa's rage tripled it was high time to visit the black dragon and bring up the issue.
SWAN LAKE
Later that day, after walking for the past 10 minutes, Slyvia finally stopped at the swan lake. In the heart of the school, Daniel stood before her, and seeing her stop, he raised his eyebrows.
" What is that eye for? I think there is more than perfect for this conversation,n, don't you think, so, Daniel." Daniel smiled and he began speaking.
" So I just wanted to say that you finally know what's inside that box of Lucinda and the secret surrounding Ivory High, as you know, a deadly cult..." Daniel was caught up in the middle as Slyvia quickly shut his lips with her fingers.
" That was close. Why didn't you tell me that you were about to tell me something like that? This isn't the best place to stay. The enemies might be hearing what we are saying."
Daniel shrugged, " I told you to take me to somewhere save you brought me here so it isn't my fault." Slyvia felt his eyes on her like a predator, and she became confused; where could she take him to, so after much thinking, she decided to carry him to her lounge.
Arriving at her room with Daniel, she balled the door and quickly locked the windows; sure of no one overhearing their conversation, she signaled him to start.
" You found something in your friendship box didn't you." Slyvia suddenly became worried about how he knew about their friendship box, but Daniel calmed her down.
" Chill, Slyvia, damn, are you always this suspicious, but I won't blame you. This time requires it because the school you know like this is run by a deadly cult group known as black dragons, a cult group that feeds on human flesh; let us see it like this: they are cannibals." Slyvia knew this because she read it in Lucinda's letter, and it scared the shit out of he,r, and Daniel continued.
" This cult has a hierarchy, and it's also applied to your school; these people are also the top in Ivory High, and the top in that ranking are the Lamia family, the Alexandria's."
Slyvia's eyes widened madly; Lamia and Lucinda were part of the cult; it scared the living out of her, and the tale was just beginning.
Daniel saw the discomfort in Slyvia's eyes but he continued his story, " The Alexandria were the core leaders of the cult and the school Ivory High they built the school, but when it was the turn of Lucas Alexandria Lamia and Lucinda father to take over his family legacy he rejected the Black dragon cult and the Alexandria's disengaged themselves from the system and it was this process that marked war arising, it was in the scandal that Peter Lockwood rose and he was now declared the new leader of black dragon cult but even as this the Alexandria's were still a threat to them, so the scheme began, they began to plan to make Alexandria's children attend Ivory high so that they will be wiped out but as you can see their plan worked out."
" And for the hierarchy, Alexa was the sole heiress of the Lockwood so being the only child the legacy continues from her making her the owner of Ivory High followed by Jonas Blackstone who was the father of Hadrian Scott, he is also part of the hierarchy then the two she devil's Dinah and Sophia there are siblings who were the daughters of The brutal man name John Clinton he was a deadly mercenary and his brutality was inexplicable." So right now Lamia needed to be found so your friends are as good as dead because the notorious cult outside the school, the red Mafia headed by Joakim Lockwood Alexa's brother has been paid by Mr Lockwood to bring Lamia and his acciocate back dead or alive but luckily you guys have a secret weapon with you people that might help."
Slyvia, who was bewildered by all the information she was getting, faced Daniel, a secret weapon. How was that possible?
Daniel smiled, " yea you have something that the black dragon fears and that's Damian Wayne Williams that was why I was telling you that you were not wary of Damian but here you are wary of me, Damian will be there nightmare, or perhaps you people downfall so pray that Damian doesn't get to switch to the black dragon side if not you people are good as dead and for Alexandria's family they will fall."
Slyvia felt her skin crawl. This was too much to bear, and she realized one thing: they were surrounded by enemies, and they needed all the help they could get to win the battle, but why was he helping them, and whose side was he, "Daniel's side are you and who are you exactly." Slyvia spoke fearlessly.
Daniel let out a chuckle, " That was why I chose you, I like you I know you are a smart girl and not the fearful type, remember when you carried the box to Damian and Lamia only the brave can do that, and for the side, I am neutral and I have been watching you guys all along, If you are looking for alliance make sure you don't lose Damian, and to have Damian help you guys to win this battle against the Black Dragon, your top priority is Lamia because if anything happens to him Damian would run mad and he would turn against you people so now pray that Lamia convinces Damian to return and pray that Joakim doesn't kill Lamia first because that guy can be a beast ."
" Finally, who I am, I am not Daniel; the Daniel you know is dead. I am someone else, but you can call me Daniel; the name suits me." And to Slyvia's dismay, Daniel peeled out something bloody in his face. It was a mask, and before she was Lamia, no, it was not Lamia because of his dark raven hair, but his face was exactly Lamia's own; what was going on Lamia doppelganger? Was that even real? Slyvia began shaking but Daniel wasn't done yet
" And for your information, all of you people are just a puppet in a greater game, Alexa is just a puppet under the real player, and let me enlighten you Alexa is just a bastard from the brothels, the real heiress is hiding in plain sight and she will bring you people downfall so RIP love." Putting his mask back, Daniel walked out confidently, not caring about the bomb he threw at Slyvia.
Untold dread began to fill Slyvia; they needed Damian and Lamia now, but how would they contact them, and who the hell was the game player? Then the realization hit her so hard, could it be her...
