Chapter 8 - CHAPTER 8

Macy chuckled and at Harry's words.

" Isn't your family coming today?" Macy asked.

" There are but they can wait!" Harry said.

Macy laughed as Harry's breath tickled her neck. Harry stopped and turned to look at Macy.

" How have you been all this years? We didn't know how to find you after your parents disappeared." He asked concern lined in his eyes.

" Well that was the point. No one should find me . I've lived with Ariana a friend of my parents she raised me for the past seven years. "

Harry sighed. " I'm sorry about your parents..."

" It's fine . I believe one day I'll find them..." Macy said. " Now are we really going to speak of my parents this afternoon..."

Harry raised a brow and grinned as he leaned in and kissed her.

Just as things began heating up an alarm blared in the air startling them .

" What's going on?" Macy asked as Harry got up in a hurry.

" Nope . That alarm signals a breach in the school's compounds I have to go..." Harry said.

Macy nodded as he left and Macy fell back on her bed with a sigh. She wondered what Chase, Harry's brother, would be like and why he wasn't at the school.

*****

" Is everything alright?" Harry asked arriving on scene.

All the council members were present and some of the strongest seniors. Apparently there was a dark entity that managed to enter the compounds. They all spread out in the school determined to catch the culprit.

" Harry, Francis, you're with me!" Harley said as they split up .

They headed towards the east side where there was the classes.

" We split up to safeguard the classes and meet up here..." Harley instructed and they nodded in agreement before splitting up.

Macy was leaving the dorms when up ahead she saw the bulky guy from the ship. She calmed herself down and tried to recall his name . Mat ...Mark ..Mac...

" It's Mark!" He said as he approached her. " But that won't be necessary for you to know as you won't be alive to remember it.."

Macy tensed up at his words. She stood ready to defend herself but considering how sore she was she didn't stand a chance against the guy.

Mark charged up towards Macy and threw a punch aiming for her head but it missed as Macy ducked. Macy threw an under punch aiming for his gut. The guy didn't flinch rather her grabbed Macy and crashed her against the wall.

He then delivered a fatal punch to her guy and one to her jaw making her spit blood. Macy crumbled to the floor in pain .

" What do you want?" Macy asked as she was held by her neck.

" Told you I'd come for you..." He whispered in her ear .

Macy was stunned. It was him .

" Why?!"

His grip tightened and Macy began losing consciousness. She tried clawing the guys arm but he didn't let go.

Suddenly he dropped her and fell to his knees holding his head in pain . He cried out.

" Stop!" He cried but Macy wasn't doing anything.

Macy stumbled to her feet and quickly left before he had regained his senses.

" Attention!" Cole called out to the students gathered up on the assembly grounds.

The council members all present. The vampires also present.

Cara walked up to stage and cleared her throat before speaking to the students.

" Good evening to you all. I'm aware that this is all sudden but as you heard earlier there was an alarm indicating the breach...." She explained.

Macy was fixated on the vampires . She knew most of them since her dad was one of them. But what caught her eye were the Hernandez, Harry's parents. They raised her and were the closest people she called family. But Chase wasn't too there. Where was he?

" We urge you to be extremely careful as dark spirits are known to be manipulators..." Cara said.

" Who was that?" Judy whisphered over to Macy

" Cara Hart...leader of the witches...." Macy said and her aunt who hadn't recognized her.

" She looks scary..." Luke said.

" As you are well aware , we have guests..." Cara said referring to the vampires , " I'll let them share a word with you..."

Cara stepped to the back and a man with curly dark hair stepped forward. He was in good shape despite his age.

" Students, I am Malcom Hernandez and I wish to ask that you take care of yourselves and train harder as you have no idea what lies out there..."

He stepped back and there was an applause as students cheered.

" Heard that they lost their son to the war..." Danny said and Macy's heart shattered into a million pieces. Tears threatened to flow.

" Do you think I would make a good vampire?" Henry asked.

" Probably not ...you don't seem worth it..." Judy said.

Soon the meeting was adjourned and Macy still reeling from shock decided to ask the one person that had answered.

****

" I think someone's lost..." Francis said as they were fastening loads on the Pegasus.

" What?" Harry asked and Francis guestured to Macy standing a distance from them .

Harry walked over with a smile on his face.

" Hey no more ri..." Harry stopped when he saw tears in her eyes." What's wrong?"

" Is it true?" Macy started off not able to stop the flow." Is it true that Chase..."

Harry sighed and closed his eyes bitterly as if he'd been stung. He pulled Macy away from there before confirming it was.

" He died trying to save mom and was taken by the dark spirits. Most of the bodies were returned inform of ashes ..." Harry explained.

Macy took a deep breath as she crouched down. Tears streamed as she recalled of the good times spent with Chase. Of the two Chase was more Calm and collected. He was the quite one.

" I'm so sorry...." Macy said as she hugged Chase " Sorry I wasn't there..."

" It's fine..." Harry said. " You should go back to dorm and rest up. .."

Macy let go and after receiving a kiss on her forehead she struded back to her room. She wasn't sure if she'd sleep at all.
