Chapter Ten

“What have I done?” I whispered; my hands were trembling, heart thumping wildly in my chest. I just left the Academy, this couldn’t be right.

I blacked out again.

Campus was deserted, how long had passed this time? I fished my phone from my pocket to check, smearing the screen with sticky blood. It was midnight! Over four hours gone.

Knowing the blood could only mean one thing, I searched the ground around me for any sign of a body. The streetlights lit up most of the ground, but there were places where they didn’t reach. Dark spaces big enough for a body. I switched the flashlight app on my phone and used it to see more. There was no sign of anyone anywhere. No screams, no sirens either.

They’re probably lying in a pool of their own blood somewhere.

Oh God, what if it was Spencer? The thought made me go cold. I could have gone to the bar, then lured him somewhere and attacked him. I took a step forward, then stopped. Where do I go? If I was running in the direction of the dorms, then I had to have come from somewhere else. Not the bar, it lay in the opposite direction. I needed to retrace my steps and find whoever had been stabbed.

They might still be alive.

I slipped the knife up my sleeve to hide it from view. I couldn’t leave it lying around, it was evidence now and if anyone saw me with it, they would call the cops.

Making my way back across the quad, I checked the ground as I walked, listening for anyone calling for help.

Please don’t be dead. I chanted the words in my head as I went. I needed to call the police, but I had to know what happened first.

I’m going to end up like that kid my grandfather investigated. Sent to jail for a crime I have no memory of committing.

I sucked in a deep breath, fighting to stay in control. I couldn’t lose it now, not when someone could be dying out here. I needed to keep moving.

The sound of drunken singing reached me and I quickly ducked behind a hedge. Peeking out, I saw a couple of guys stagger by.

Why am I hiding? I’m the dangerous one.

One of them belched loudly, then laughed. “We should go get more beer,” he said to his friend.

“The bar’s closed, idiot. But my roommate has some tequila.”

They continued their song, the sound growing fainter as they moved away.

I stayed put until they were out of sight. Perhaps I was the dangerous one, but I really didn’t need anyone stopping me right now or calling the cops before I determined what happened.

My search led me back to the Academy building, the most logical place. There were a few drops of blood on the step outside. Someone must be inside, but who? I was the last one out earlier. At least I thought so.

It looked more likely that the victim was Spencer. Maybe I convinced him to come back here with me and…what?

Time to find out.
