CAMPUS SHADOWS: THE ALPHA FATED HUMAN

Be Invisible

Jessica's Pov

His fingers felt like iron bands around my wrist, tight enough to instantly bruise me. I tried to scream but he didn't seem to care if I did. He began pulling me away from the door.

"Let me go!!" I yelled. But he didn't stop, he kept pulling me away. In a moment of pure survival instinct, I struck his knee from behind with my heel. He finally halted to a stop turning toward me. Before he could say any word, he released a low growl.

THUD!

He fell to his knees right in front of me, though his grip still locked in my wrist. Was it because of my heel kick? I panicked.

"Fuckk!" he roared in pain. I was confused and tried to lean closer to him forgetting the pain my wrist was going through.

As soon as he lifted his head to me, my eyes caught a terrifying sight. His eyes were glowing vibrant red. His teeth were no longer human teeth but fangs like an animal. Claws thrust out from his fingers that gripped me, digging deep into my skin until blood trickled down my wrist.

"Ahhh!" I screamed. My voice loud enough to echo and overshadow the loud music. The scream tore out from the very top of my lungs.

Conner loosened his grip on me but still holding on to me. I tried to break free, but before I could move a muscle, his friends had surrounded us. They formed a tight circle, covering us from the eyes of everyone who stared and whispered.

"Nobody moves! Put down your cameras!" A boy standing close to me shouted.

He moved quickly, pulling corner's hand off my wrist. Conner just bent his head and stayed still, almost like he was frozen. The only way you could tell he was still alive was the heavy rise and fall of his chest.

One of Conner's friends who stood with me, suddenly grabbed me by the arm tightly and marched me away from the scene. He dragged me outside the mansion, into the cool night air. I was still in shock about what I had just seen. Was I seeing right? Or I had lost my mind for a while. My blood felt like it had turn to ice, my knees throbbed with pain. I was enveloped with terror, how was it possible a human was an animal? The movie, teen Wolf could it be real?

A hand snapped in front of my eyes, pulling me away from my thoughts. The guy who had dragged me out was insanely tall, his hair blonde and long enough to touch his shoulders. He was dressed like he was a basketball player.

"Hey! You didn't see anything, got it?" he barked.

I just quietly nodded, my body trembling. He leaned closer to my ear, his breath hot against my skin. "if I hear one rumour about what just happened, kiss your scholarship and your dear life goodbye." He took a one thousand dollar note from his pocket and handed it over to me. Hurriedly rushing back to the mansion.

I turned my back to the mansion immediately, dragging my heels on the floor. I halted like I had instantly recalled something. I took off my heels, my bare feet stepping on the concrete floor. I took off, running as fast as my legs could carry me.

Hot tears falling on my cheeks, but I still didn't make a sound. All I could think was I needed to get out of this campus alive. They were animals, all of them. I knew what I had seen. I had to run for my dear life.

I got to my dorm which wasn't far from the mansion. My breath panting from the long race I just did. My room was plain dark. I slumped onto my bed, closing my eyes tight.

Suddenly.... DING DING DING

My phone rang. I picked it up, it was my mum.

"Where the hell have you been? I have been calling you non-stop!" she yelled.

I was quiet for a second but I finally spoke, my voice dropping an octave. "Mum....can I come home and join you in the cafeteria? I don't want to school anymore."

"Hahaha!" My mum's laugh was harsh and bitter. "I should show you our bill, Jessica. We are drowning in millions of debts all because of your worthless father. And you want to quit? You want to be a low life like us? You better get your act together and endure whatever comes your way. That scholarship would change your whole life!"

Hello? Hello?

The line went dead. My mum had cut the call on me. She didn't even let me finish, or say the reason she called.

My family was drowning in debts, my dad had invested in a scam trade that had sank all his money and to top it all he also borrowed from the bank to invest. I was the only child and hope of my parents but how do I even survive here?

I got up from my bed turning on the bedside light beside me. I looked at the clock hung on the wall, it was 2:00Am already. Brenda wasn't back yet. I honestly felt bad for leaving her behind but I had to save myself first. She was a rich kid and I wasn't. If anything happened. I only would be blamed.

I should forget about what I saw and just make myself invisible to everyone.

But then my phone buzzed again, I picked it up from the bed. It was a message from an unknown number.

"Come to the mansion tomorrow by 10:00pm and don't think of running away, we would find you and snuff the life out of you."

My heart dropped to my stomach, my fingers trembling over my phone screen.
