Zora

On Thursday of that week, my life got flipped up–side–down yet again. I didn’t know it as I walked to class, but things were about to get bad. Honestly, bad–er than they already were.

Loren and I had a quick breakfast with Maximus. It’d been simple and easy but I couldn’t help the way the hair on the back of my neck was on edge. Maximus had rubbed my back and told me everything was okay and the feeling went away. But just as quickly as it went, it came roaring back as I entered our Alchemy lecture.

The Alchemy professor, Keverow, was harsh and unforgiving. When the feeling had returned as I walked in the room, I paused, immediately. As the hair rose up in my neck, she’d narrowed her eyes at me.

“Miss Smith, may I help you?” she sneered at me.

I shook my head, trying to get my body to reset. “No, sorry,” I murmured.

“Then I’d ask you to take your seat,” Keverow snapped.

My cheeks heated and I scurried through the classroom to an open seat. Loren slunk in next to me with a frown. Keverow turned towards the board and waved her hand then began to write notes. I tried to put my head down and take notes but it was like someone had shoved a rod in my back and I couldn’t relax.

Loren put her hand on mine. “You okay?” she whispered. I nodded.

“Yeah, I just keep feeling like something terrible is about to happen,” I whispered back. Loren opened her mouth to speak but we were both cut off by the professor’s shrill voice.

“Miss Smith,” she shrieked. The entire class turned to look at Loren and I. I lifted my gaze to find her eyes pinned on me. Malice was evident in the flare of her nostrils. I blinked at her and she sneered towards me.

“If you and Miss Moonbeam are done chit–chatting,” Keverow snapped. “I’d like to start my class.”

A few giggles erupted behind me. My face felt hot as I looked back at the professor and nodded curtly. Besides me, Loren was nodding fervently, also embarrassed, Keverow gave me one last dirty look before turning her back to me. She finished writing out some formulas then turned to address the whole class.

“Now,” she said. “Today we’ll be working on the metallurgic reactions. These are especially complex

reactions and-”

The door to the classroom banged open. It slammed into the wall behind it. Five men dressed in black military gear barreled through the door.

“What in the devil–!” Keverow shrieked.

“Sorry for the intrusion,” one of the men grunted. He shoved a piece of paper towards the professor. “We’re looking for the a potential enemy combatant within your class.”

Keverow quickly scanned the paper. She stopped and I watched her hands clench around the paper. My heart started slamming in my chest. I knew what she was about to say, despite myself.

Her eyes scanned the room and immediately locked with mine. They narrowed and I swallowed thickly.
