160 Mysterious family

Out from just behind the teachers came a student. One that Quinn was unfamiliar with, however, Vorden knew him quite well. As soon as the student entered and looked at the two of them he also noticed Vorden. The student was Berg Sunshield. Suddenly his palms started to sweat at the sight of Vorden. After seeing him on planet Caladi. Berg decided to try to gather more information about their family.

He had informed his family members that he had met up with one of the Blades. Immediately their tone of voice had changed and his father said to do whatever he could to make sure The Blades were not upset with them. It was a strange reaction. Although his father didn't carry a high rank in his family he was still respected as a member of one of the big four. It was the first time he had seen him act like this at the mention of anyone's name.

The even stranger thing was, when Berg had tried to search up about the Blade family, he could find nothing. Nothing about what type of ability they had, nothing about their contributions in the war. Even when asking his friends none of them seemed to have ever heard about the Blade family. So it was a strange reaction that his father did.

Soon though his father's fear became his fear, and the mystery behind Vorden grew within his mind.

"Now Berg here said on the day of the event he saw a student running through the halls looking quite panicked," Nathan said. "Humans are strange things you see and love a little bit of gossip. While everyone else was heading to the second year building to see what was going on. A single student was running in the opposite direction. Not only that though, but Berg's description also seemed to match that of one of you two. Curly black-haired boy."

Quinn remained silent, there was no way they could convict him just off suspicion. The problem was now that they had a witness and were suspicious of him they would probably choose to keep a closer eye on him. This would only cause more problems in the future and especially now he had a wild Peter in his ranks. HE decided the best thing to do now was just to keep his mouth shut, if he said anything he could slip up and make it worse.

Vorden then started to laugh by his side.

"You really think Quinn did it?" Vorden said. "Come on, the two of them don't even share the same classes, besides do you know how many curly-haired students with black hair they have in this school."

"Well you see Vorden, that's why we brought him here, so he could confirm who he saw that day."

That day Berg had seen Quinn running through the halls. As soon as he entered the room he recognized him but seeing Vorden defend him so suddenly like that he knew something was up.

"This isn't the kid I saw that day," Berg said. "I'm pretty sure it was someone else."

"What!" Nathan said. "Are you sure? Come closer and take another look."

Berg did as asked and stepped closer and looked at Quinn carefully trying to act as best as he could. He took a quick glance at Vorden but as if he was imagining things, he felt like he could see and feel this strange power coming off from his body.

"I'm sure it's definitely not him." Berg said." Do you mind if I go now?"

Nathan then went down to sit in his large office chair, he looked outside and could see the sky was now completely black and only the moonlight was out. After letting about a big sigh he leant back and put his legs on the desk. "Let's call it a day. It looked like I've wasted everyone's time here for no reason." Nathan said. "You're all free to go home and remember to get a good rest."

Quinn was unsure what just happened, perhaps Berg really did see someone else running through those halls and it wasn't him but whatever the case was they were now free to go. Quinn and Vorden looked at each other and walked quickly out of the room. They wanted to run but tried to go against every urge in their body otherwise the others would notice that something was up.

Before leaving Vorden turned and said. "Thank you, Berg, I owe you one."

"Just remember this for the future," Berg replied.

Outside Peter was walking through the forest, he was no longer limping as his legs were now fully healed, however, the pain in his stomach still hadn't disappeared. It was a strange feeling, Peter's mind was all there, it was him and he could control his body but all he could think about was food.

Not wanting to hurt any of his friends he tried to go as far away from the school as possible and before he released it he had ended up in the park forest once again. "Am I going to die if I don't find anything?"

He slowly made his way through the woods until eventually, he had reached the pathway. The pathway went around the outskirts of the woods and park until it eventually had an entrance and an exit. one leading to the city and the other leading back to the direction of the school. But it was late at night and not many people would be walking through the park to head to the centre of the city as by now all the shops would be closed.

The only thing that was still open were convenience shops that were stationed just a little bit before the park. "Should I head to the convenience store? Maybe I can find someone and follow them back, pull them into the woods."

Just as Peter was thinking of going through with his suggestion he spotted someone walking down the pathway. His body wanted to lunge out at the person but Peter tried to fight against it, staying in the woods.

Suddenly the person stopped still.

"I can feel your bloodlust from here." The boy said. "Come out you ghoul and tell me, where the hell is your master."

The boy's eyes glowed red in the dark as he stared right into Peter's eyes.
