the hunted

chapter five

I looked back to see the person that was shouting and wasn't surprised when I saw zoey.I quickly covered her mouth but was too late because the principal was already walking towards our direction.I quickly drag zoey to the cupboard and told her to be calm before hiding inside the cupboard.

Principal (pov)

I was about finishing the process of my experiment when I heard someone screaming and all that was in my mind is that i was.BUSTED.

I decided to start with my acting skills,I quickly bend down my head and started crying and saying things that whoever is there needs to hear.

***marinette what happened to you......why did you die...I only call you from your class to stop you from your bad habit.....not telling you that it's the end of the world.....marinette please don't blame me ..........**

I said at the same time walking towards the door,I was nervous because I didn't see anybody so I decided to continue crying.

Rose(pov)

Seeing the principal crying broke my heart,I can imagine her scolding you because you did wrong but why will marinette do this to her self,with this in mind I came out of the cupboard with zoey behind me who look pale and drained I decided to take her home.

After sneaking out of the forbidden area,I hired a taxi taking us to Zoe's house.

Getting there I met her father at home.

"Good afternoon sir"

"Good afternoon how are you"

"Am fine"

"Hey dad"zoe said hugging her dad like he's gonna disappear the moment she leaves him.

"Hey sweetie,what's the problem why is your face like this"

"Another death dad"

"Really"

"Yes dad"

"So this is not the first death happening in whitney high?"I asked looking confused.

"No rose it's not"zoey said to me

"Why don't we go inside and talk about this"rose's dad said to us

"OK"I said to him making my way to the living room

"So.......rose this is my dad,dad this is rose she's a freshman in our school"

"Nice to meet you rose"

"Nice Meeting you sir"I said to zoeys dad.

"So rose you just move in to New York right?"

"Yes sir"

"Then i guess that this is the first time since you came to whitney high that you heard about the death if a student?"

"Yes sir,and if I may ask,are you in anyway implying that the accident is not just an accident?"

"I didn't say that rose but I think there's something to this death and since zoey started going to Whitney high,different students have been in an accident"

"Woah that's terrific!"

"Yea i know and I've been trying to get zoey to another school but she kept insisting that she wants to finish her high school there"Mr good luck said with a sad look on his face.

"Dad don't worry I'm going o be okay"

"OK there is just few years left for you to finish"

"Em mr goodluck thanks for allowing me stay I think I need to head home now"

"Okay you're welcome any time and also be careful"

"Okay thank you sir"

WILLOWS'S RESIDENCE

"Rose!"

"Yes mom"

"Time to eat,come down stairs for dinner!"

"Okay mom I'll be down in a sec"

.............

Rose (pov)

After having dinner I went to my room and thought about a lot of things that has been going on in whitney high.

I find it strange that students disappear and found it strange that the forbidden place that no one is expected to go into was where marinnete body was found.

"Argh"I sighed

"Hey baby wat sup"my mom said looking at me

"It's nothing mom just something in school"

"Oh don't bother your mind about school,get some sleep so you can wake up early tomorrow"my mom said

"Okay mom"I said turning off the light.
