“Trisha!” Harold called out as he held on to Sarah's body.
After he had bitten her off, his wolf yanked off the flesh so that blood could pour out and that was exactly what had happened. Because her neck was close to her head and had vital veins running through it, she lost consciousness not long after.
When she did, Harold's human form took over and now, he was holding her in his arms which were stained with blood but he didn't mind.
Trisha took her eyes away from Brie and Derek and shifted it to Harold who was at her and the others.
“Come,” Harold said. His voice echoed using the walls of the cavern as a medium but that didn't cause him any worry at all. He had to do what he wanted to before Sarah woke up.
Trisha picked up space, skipped a little and ran to him, casting one short glance back at Brie and Derek. With them were Penelope and Wilkes who had regained consciousness not long ago. It
When all was done, they all fell silent. Penelope, on her knees, crawled to where Derek was and seconds later, Trisha joined her.“He'll be fine,” Trisha whispered to her, not wanting to disturb the silence that had befallen them all.“How sure are you?” Penelope asked as tears filled her eyes.“As sure as I am that we will get out of here alive,” Trisha whispered in return. Penelope looked away from Derek's body and at Trisha who beamed a smile at her. “I'll do all I can to make sure nothing happens to either him or —” she looked back at Harold who was standing over the body of his stepmother, “— her.”“Thank you,” Penelope whispered as the tears in her eyes dried up due to the reassuring words from Trisha.“My pleasure,” Trisha responded and instinctively massaged Penelope's shoulder with her palm.“You should go talk and bond with the others,” Trisha said and bent her head toward
As they all rounded the corner moving as fast as they could with Trisha leading them, a loud thump sounded from where they had been earlier. It was what Trisha had seen coming before the other."We need to move faster," she said and quickened her pace. The others that were behind her, too, began moving faster than before.Another loud thump followed, heavier than the first and the walls of the tunnel which they toured shook more.Suddenly, Trisha stopped on her tracks."Move, move," Brie who was right behind her said. "Why the wait?"Trisha spun around suddenly with wide eyes. Her flashlight landing on Brie's oblong face."Professor Ericson and Francis. They're there."A long silence followed. It was cut short, though, by another crash that although was loud, wasn't as threatening as the first two ones."Wilkes," Harold said suddenly as his br
“Do you think your telekinesis will be able to lift the both of them?” Harold asked as he knelt beside professor Ericson. Trisha was behind him and hovering behind her, too, was Francis's corpse.“I suppose it can but it will be much heavier and I honestly don't think I can bear the weight,” she replied.Harold nodded. Picked professor Ericson's body from the earth and swung him over his shoulder.Trisha looked around, studying the strange cavern that was beginning to fall apart brick by brick. The water that cascaded out of the waterfalls had stopped flowing all together.“This is such a weird place,” Trisha said and Harold nodded his head in agreement.He looked farther, at where the light from above bath the cavern. It was where he would have been killed if not for professor Ericson. He was a hero. His hero.“We should
Wilkes changed into his vampire form and with the others holding on to each others piece of clothing, they were able to get to the where the ladder without much trouble.“How do we get them up? Penelope asked, referring to Sarah and Derek's unmoving bodies.“We'll get them up the old way,” Brie said as an idea crept into her head. It was quite a stupid and hilarious one but that made her fall in love with it more.“What are you talking about?” Wilkes asked with a look of confusion on his face.“Watch,” Brie said. She walked to where the ladder was and climbed up it like a cat. She was much faster than she had been when coming down. The torch she'd brought down with her, too, had gotten missing in the frenzy she'd met. If she hadn't wandered down there, it was very unlike they would have survived.When she got to professor Ericson's office, a smile spread across her face. She was no more in the dark,
Harold and Penelope continued down the cavern, moving faster than they had earlier whilst paying attention to the stalactites above them lest it dropped on or around them.“Congratulations,” Trisha said as the ladder came into view. It was still quite a distance from where they were, roughly two hundred metres, but it was a sign that they had gotten to the end of the cavern.“For what, exactly?” Harold asked. He was by far the saddest of them. Although he had survived the contest, being the first wolf of over three hundred that had passed through Golden Lake University in the past over three hundred years, he had lost someone dear to him. Someone he never really got to know.“For… you know, coming out of the contest alive. It was a tough one but you did it.”“We did it,” Harold corrected. He decided to push the sadness away, at least, if only for a moment, and enjoy the victory him and his friends had.
On the other side of the library, they were welcomed with students: males and females, who were so engrossed in themselves they didn't notice the students in tattered clothes, carrying corpses, unconscious bodies and looking like cavemen who'd survived a zombie apocalypse. It was almost midnight and the students were mostly concerned about for their sexual satisfaction. They couldn't care less about the students or the Vice Chancellor which had been reported missing a few hours ago.“Our room is the shortest from here,” Harold told Wilkes. His voice was cracky and he found it difficult to talk. He was very thirsty, too. He turned to the others, “let us take them up there. Less people will see them that way.”Slowly, like soldiers who had gone to represent their nations in a bloody war and were now returning after being victorious although a few comrades were bruised and battered, they all marched up the poorly lit stairs, walked down the hall that h
The sun rose over Golden Lake University earlier than usual. It touched the mountains far from the school then crawled closer to the school, from the East to the West, sweeping through greens.It bath the firs that edged the school not long afterwards, casting their shadows on the school, then slowly, the sun reached the school, too, waking the students who had spent all night partying, swimming, having sex and for half a dozen students, fighting for their lives in a cavern hundreds of metres beneath the school.Of the six of them that had come out of the cavern, Trisha was the first to wake up.The previous night, when she had gotten to her room, Chloe wasn't any where to be seen. Trisha suspected she had been seeing someone else — another lecturer, perhaps, that had filled the place Professor Ericson had. She didn't know why she did and there was no physical evidence that what she thought was true but that was how she felt.
Trisha walked towards the school slowly for two reasons. One was because the faster she walked, the more pain she felt on her back and around her feet. The second reason was because she didn't know how she was going to talk to Mrs. Perry after not seeing her in almost a week.It was even most likely Mrs. Perry thought her dead. If that was the case, it was going to be much harder for Trisha to endear herself and get any vital information out of the librarian.Still moving slowly, she rounded the corner and was just a few feet from the library. Her heart began to beat fast. Adrenaline pumped through her veins.She turned to her right again and walked the remaining small distance. "She should be on seat now," Trisha whispered to herself and knocked twice on the door.Two seconds after, there was no response then from behind the door came a grumpy voice. "Come 'n."Trisha twisted the doorknob
