The Beast's Mark

Avanti

Clara walks around school hallway freely swaying her hands and hitting the pavement slowly with her feet as she hangs on tightly to her black handbag whilst watching her steps slowly.

Clara walking down the school hallway sights a pillar walks towards it swiftly as her eyes filled with curiosity. Clara gets to the pillar but sees an old wooden door.

“ I thought I saw a pillar, and why does this door look like ours at home. I wonder what’s behind it” Clara said to herself lost in thoughts.

Clara stretches her hand towards the door knob when a soothing yet troublesome voice called out behind her

“Stop! Avanti.”

Clara immediately released her grip from the door knob swiftly as fear filled her eyes, she turns back to see who it was. A young handsome man approached her gazing at her intensely,his aura felt cold but yet charming towards Clara.

“What are you staring at Avanti.?” He asked.

“Huh!.” Clara said as she quickly sways her eyes away and stares at her shoes.

“I'm asking you a question.” He said sinking his hands into his pocket as he takes a step forward.

“Why did you call me Avanti? Do I look familiar or have we met?.” Clara asked. Does this mean he recognises me from somewhere?, Why does he look scary and mean but yet charming” Clara said to herself teasingly.

He took a few steps closer, gazing at Clara straight in her eyes seductively.

“OMG, he's coming closer.” Clara said to herself as she takes a few steps backwards whilst heartbeats increases.

There was a long silence between them as they both stared directly into each others eyes.

“What!you scared?” He said, breaking the silence between them.

“N…o, no.” Clara replied, stuttering.

He tries to take a step forward, Clara noticing it quickly picks up an iron sleeping on the ground, “don’t you dare move another inch.” Clara said pointing the iron at him.

His eyes widened,”I thought she'd run away but look at her,trying to be brave I see. Well I just have to see if she's got guts.” He said to himself as he takes a few steps closer to her.

“I mean it don't you dare come closer.” Clara said with her voice trembling as she tightens the grip on her hand.He moved closer and closer towards her.

“I'm warning you!.” Clara said as she squints her eyes and looks away.

“Please don't hit me, I won't do anything to you I just wanted to stop you from going in there,it's really dangerous.” He said with a predatory grin as he raises his hands up.

“What's up with this guy, he so unpredictable,who'd have thought that he'd actually stop even after seeing me in that state. He was acting all high and mighty and at the last minute he loses his will,who does that.” Clara said to herself lost in thoughts.

“Yo!,snap out of it.” He said snapping his fingers at Clara to get her attention.

“What, hey where's my….”

“Your bag, it's right there you dropped it on the ground when you picked up the iron, you really a brave one ain't you. By the way you such a deep thinker.” He said teasingly.

Clara leans over as she stretches her hand towards the bag,she grabs the handle of her bag, but feels a cold subtle touch on her hand.

“What do you think you're doing?.” Clara said.

“I was just trying to help you pick it up.” He said gazing deeply into her eyes.

“You liar.” Clara said swinging the iron down to his head, the atmosphere filled the a loud bang.

“Ouch! Hey that hurt, how could you…” He said growling in pain.

Clara swiftly picks up her bag and quickly leaves the hallway.

“Hey you good ?.” A voice behind him called out.

“Yeah I'm good.” He said standing up.

“Why do you look like you're in pain.”

“ I said I'm fine.” He said clenching his hands.

He walks swiftly and suddenly stops,”i need you to find out more about avanti.”

“Huh!, me?,no way….,you know I don't like spying I mean you don't expect me to waste my time on someone who has nothing to of….

“Shut up!. It's an order,do what I said without complaint, failure is not an option. He snarred interrupting the voice behind him, leaving the hallway.
