CHARLOTTE

After Arsen left without so much as a word, I had a feeling our too-tight and soul-stirring embrace was far too much for his emotional capacity. He was overwhelmed, in a fragile state, and I tried to comfort him the only way I knew how. Maybe I shouldn’t have succumbed so quickly to him after what we’ve been through together, but I couldn’t bear seeing him in pain. It was like our emotions were intertwined, and what he felt, I felt too.

So, since I was already extremely late to class, I decided to skip it altogether and hang out in my room for a bit. I needed a breather anyway after everything that just went down. I had zero amount of strength left in me to encounter Priscilla or Verity, for that matter. Besides, the only thing on my mind right now was the revelation that Phoebe had been pregnant. It only added more mystery and anger to the equation, which spurred my thoughts into action.

Did her killer know she was pregnant?

Is that why they killed her?

My mind wouldn't stop racing with endless possibilities to what had happened to her. But whatever happened wasn’t just some accidental murder or the suicide that the cops and everyone else think. There was something far darker and more sinister that had ensued in Phoebe’s private life, and so far, the discovery of her secret lover was one step closer to finding the truth. He was the key to what may have happened. Finding him was our next goal, and I was certain Arsen wouldn’t stop until he did.

So, as I lay in bed with my eyes lost in the ceiling, I realize that I should probably get up and start walking towards my next class. Even though I desperately want to stay in bed all day, I know it is not worth a reprimand and getting sent to the confessional. Pushing myself up from my elbows, I toss my legs over the side of the bed and rise to my feet. Then scurrying over to my desk chair, I grab my bag and head out into the hallway. It doesn’t take long until I’m entering the academic wing of St. Catherine’s and walking down the empty corridor that leads to Sister Mary’s class. In fact, it’s eerily quiet to the point I’m on edge, and my skin breaks out in a cluster of goosebumps. With each passing step, I glance all around me as if someone is watching me, but whenever I look, no one is there. I probably look like an idiot, but I don’t think being on high alert is such a terrible idea after what happened here.

I didn’t want to be next.

As I am slowly approaching a classroom that is still in session, a deafening growl vibrates through the door and fills the hallway with its wrathful timbre. It sounded animal-like, primal, in a way that caused my hair to stand up at attention. My feet slow to almost a stop, and that’s when manic shouting and screams erupt from behind the classroom door.
