Forbidden Throne Of Revenge

Chapter 4 ( Caleb Kingston)

'' It seems that.. accident messed with your head.. got you thinking like you are some kind of big shot'' Alice says mockingly, and they laugh

'' Apparently, the accident did mess with my head,'' I cross my arms pretending to be thinking, unbothered by their presence ''Falling from such a height and surviving makes me think I've got a superpower or something?''

'' huh?'' Confusion hit her. ''Hey,'' she placed a finger on my shoulder and pushed me slightly, making me stumble back one step. I am going to break that finger once I get the chance '' Do you think this is a joke?''

'' No'' I shake my head,'' But I'm just wondering who the f**k you are? ''

'' Excuse me?'' Confusion in her now wide-open eyes

'' Like you said my head is a mess I have not idea who the f...'' I pause, remember Astrid don't curse '' I have no idea who you guys are... and as long as I don't know you means you are not worth knowing because I was well informed about every single worthy member for the school before coming here and non of you guys here'' I look to all of them, my eyes fell on Caleb who now carried a hard frown '' Look familiar to me'' I smiled, knowing I just hit a sensitive spoke. No person of power wants to be told they are not worthy.

'' What did you just say?'' Alice let out in shock, and I smiled

'' Say that again,'' Caleb spoke, his tone calm, but the anger wasn't missed '' I said, Say that again, you b***h''

'' You are not worth knowing d**k head'' I fired back the curse. Astrid should forgive me, but they started it.

'' Astrid'' I heard Sarah's whisper in panic

''What did you just call me?'' Caleb tilted his head to the side, studying my face. He was dumbfounded. In disbelief. He didn't expect it from Astrid.

'' Why are you getting all worked up if you didn't hear me?'' I raised an eyebrow, and just like that, I was gripped by the neck and pinned to the wall by none other than Macus, the one who is supposed to be Caleb's best friend and Alice's twin brother ''Ah,'' I let out in pain as my head hit the wall. Wow, so we are allowed to get violent in school, so much for no one would dare step on my toes.

'' You are asking for an early death, little b***h'' Macus fires at me, filling my nostrils with his breath. Cigarette, he smokes. I smirk. The one thing my grandfather taught me. In a fight, there is one thing that you should never show, and that is fear. Pain is ok, but never fear. I was in pain right now, but wasn't scared

'' What are you? His loyal dog?'' I teased, and his grip around my neck tightened, making me cough out from choking. His jaw hardened. rage in his eyes

'' It looks like experiencing death once wasn't enough for you''

'' Wh...what ca... can I say'' I struggled to speak. knowing there is no way he would kill me in this hallway. There are too many eyes. The killer killed Astrid that night on the rooftop for a reason.

'' shut your mouth'' he barked

'' Stop... stop it!!'' I heard Sarah's scream, and they turned to look at her

'' Why, because you are going to run off to your mother like you always do?'' Now, Mandi. The last girl in the group spoke while laughing

'' Yes, yes, I am going to tell her if your guys don't stop''

'' arch'' Macus grip around my neck tightens even more, and I feel my vision beginning to blur, and I struggle to find my breath. Yep, I am going to make sure I f**k this guy up once I get my chance.

'' And you think we are scared of the principal? '' Erin, the last guy in the group who gives off a nerd vibe and is supposed to the the school president. That reminds me, Astrid is a member of the school Cancel. I wonder how she is treated when they are alone.

'' Let her go'' Caleb spoke, and silence lived '' Don't make me repeat myself, Macus'' repeated with ice in his tone. And without debate, his grip around my neck loosened, and I was finally able to breathe. He stepped away from me while I took in deep breaths, panting. Sarah hurried to my side. She held my hand while rubbing my back with her free hand

'' What the f**k is wrong with you people? What did Astrid ever do to you?'' Sarah barked at them. That sentence wasn't right. What did Astrid ever do? Was I the only one being bullied in the group? '' For goodness' sake, she just survived an accident'' Coughing and rubbing my neck. I finally stood straight. My hands are still massaging my neck

'' Astrid'' Caleb called, drawing my attention back to him. He walked to stand before me. Damn, he is tall. He reached for my collar, adjusting it aggressively and then dusted my shoulder before meeting my gaze that never left his for a second. He smiled brightly. I then felt something on my feet. I looked down to see that he was stepping on my toes with his spotless black shoe. Is it like a thing here? '' Since you can't remember anything, then I will tell you and only one thing you need to know and should never forget... This is my territory, and don't you ever think of challenging me again. Got that?''

I remained quiet, and with that, he winked and turned around, walking away. The group flashed me an irritated look before they followed him. leaving me alone with Sarah and Julia, who now ran to stand beside me

''Are you alright?'' she whispered, and I nodded. I was alright, a small choking is not enough to kill me. I look around us. The student who once gathered around to watch were now turning away, talking among themself. The once quiet hall was slowly taken over by noise

'' Who are they'' I asked, pretending not to know them.

'' He told you'' Sarah said '' This is Oakwood Academy, and He is its ruler, unreachable. They make the rules, they do whatever ever and nobody can stop them.'' she explained

'' And you, shouldn't you be rolling with them as well. Your mother owns this school'' I didn't understand the theory of that. Why was she looked down on by them? We, just like Astrid's case, if you don't play the game right, you get kicked out.

'' I don't need to roll with them, Astrid... wow, you really did lose your memory '' I felt someone brushing my skin, and I looked to my left to see Julia, her worried gaze fixed on my neck. using her tomb to rob the bruise, I bit my inner lips at the pain, holding back the gasp about to break free

'' You are hurt, we should go to the nurse'' she said

'' No need'' I say gently, bringing down her hand '' We will be late for class, let's go'' I began walking, and they hurried to my side

'' Are you such? Your neck is seriously bruised, it's all red and not a good sight'' Sarah spoke, now walking by my side

'' I need it for a reminder''

'' Reminder for what?'' The curiosity in Julia's tone is clear, and I smiled. Reminder for revenge.

Astrid was bullied in school by those mother fuckers. My sister was being hurt by them. If I were going to find Astrid's killer, then there are two things I have to find out. Why was she killed? and the witness. There is always a witness to a murder, it could be a person or an object. There is always something of value to witness the scene. As for why Astrid was killed, there are many possibilities, and one is anger. What if she had angered the wrong person, and the person took it too far? That means the kill was an accident. And to cover up the deed so well that my father and the police couldn't find any clues, then that person must possess so much power.

Caleb Kingston. Is from a royal bloodline in Australia. Son of Prince Kingston Carlton. Which means he has the highest power in this building. Caleb Kingston, my first suspect. Why did you kill my sister?
