I feel so badass. Actually, I'm shaking to death. My knees buckle and I feel like I'm going to fall. My hand is shaking so much I can't get the key through the hole. Eventually I do and I sigh in relief. I look around the hallway once more before I fully go in.

The door shuts by itself lightly and I run to Mr. Walsh's desk. Everything is neatly together and I try not to ruin anything. I hear a laugh of students from the hall and my heart speeds up. I start opening file cabinets attached to his desk but there's nothing but paperwork and supplies.

Finally at the last one, I try to open it but I doesn't budge. I hope inside of myself there is something that will show proof that he is Dylan's boss. Just one proof. I grab a hold of the keys and I go through them one by one. Suddenly, one clicks sideways and the file cabinet opens.

I look down at it and it's stacked with papers. Letters and a file about... Me? My date of birth, where I live, my age, my school district, my... Everything. A shudder runs down my spine and I lift up the file but something below it catches my attention.

It's a spell book. For witches? Why would Mr. Walsh have that? I pick it up and it's pretty big and fragile because it looks like it's ready to break in half. I place it on his desk and I flip through a page that he has sticky noted on.

I started to skim through it and it was showing how to be invisible and control people. No way. I flip through another one and it showed how to make a drink for vampires to impulse their hunger.

I furrow my eyebrows and everything that has happened in the mansion is coming to me like a whip. Mr. Walsh is a...?

I grab my cell phone out of my pocket and I walk around Mr. Walsh's desk and I stand in the middle of the classroom. I start to scroll through my contacts and I hit Alexander's name. I press call and when I bring the phone up my ear, a force suddenly brings it down hard and it flies out of my hand.

The screen becomes black and than I realize it's cracked. I look up and Mr. Walsh is standing right in front of me. A pissed off grin is on his face and he doesn't look too happy.

"Well, well, well, look who we have here."

"You're... You're..." My voice is trembling and he's just staring me down. "You're a witch." I breath out and he looks down while chucking.

"You are a very curious girl."

"How is that even possible?"

"Oh don't be stupid. I was a witch before I turned into a vampire."

"But, vampires are the breaking rules of Mother Nature."

"Don't start with that bullshit. They still let me keep my powers when I became a vampire so I can save the Prophecy. For both kinds to be together because that's what some of the witches thought was best. Before they all did the suicide killing. Before Florence killed herself." He pauses and I'm trying to think of a way to run out of the room. I have to tell the King and Queen this.

"But, I don't want that. I like who I am, what I am. I don't want this Prophecy to work! I want you and your little Royal boyfriend dead too." He growls to me while walking closer.

"Than do it, kill me." I mutter to him because let's face it, I am going to die. Why doesn't he just drain be already and get over it? Xavier won't care either way. He brings his filthy hand to my face and caresses my cheek. I flinch at his touch while he moves a strand of hair away and tucks it behind my ear.

"I can't, human."

"And why not?" I ask with confidence in my voice but looking in his eyes makes it go away every bit.

"Because I too also have a threat. If I do any very bad harm to you, or kill you, the dead witches buried in the burial ground of hundreds and the spirits will take them away from me and I will just be a normal bloodsucker. I don't want that." He snaps his wrist to the side and the spell book on his desk quickly slams shut by itself.

"But now that you know my secret, you just brought yourself in a whole different danger. My assistants will help me out with that." He is the boss and Dylan and his friends are the assistance. And they all are down at the dance in the gym. "Time is running out, Diana, if I was you, I'd run." He brings his fingers to his mouth and a loud whistle forms when he blows.

That was my cue and I pushed him out of the way and sprinted out the classroom door. I need to reach the gym. Where everyone is there, I will get lost in the crowd and they won't find me. I run down the stairs and when I turn to the hall where the gym is, one of Dylan's friends is down there, suspiciously watching me.

I stop my running and I slide back to the other hall, sprinting down that one. I reach the end and I see a red exit sign where two black doors are that will take me to the parking lot. I use every energy I have left and I am so close. So damn close...

A large body crashes to my side and I get pushed into a door. I thought the impact of slamming against the door would hurt but it never occurred to me. It flung open when we crashed into it and suddenly I started to slide across the ground. I stop myself from falling and I look around to see what room we are in.

But we aren't in a classroom, we are in the pool room. Where our swimming team practices and where we swim sometimes during gym class. It's extremely hot in here like a sauna and I feel like I can't breathe. I turn around and Dylan is also in the room, making me guess he is the one who slammed into me.

I turn back around and I try to run to the other doors down the room but two of his friends walk in and lock it. I stop myself and I look around my presence.

I am cornered by three vampires.

Until another one joins in who was guarding the hall near the party before.

"Diana, Diana, Diana." Dylan says while clicking his tongue. He starts to slowly clap and I try to calm myself. The tapping of his shoes below the tile floor is shaking in my ears when he comes closer to me. His forehead is covered in blood from smashing his head earlier. "I am upset because you did a very mean thing to me."

"Stay away!" I shout to him and my voice echoes in the room. It's full with the smell of chlorine and it's making me feel light headed.

"I'm sorry I have to do this but my boss is paying me and the Prophecy should never happen. I'm just trying to help out my family."

"By killing me?" Silence runs in the room but I hear one of the vampires behind me grunt.

"Either way, alive or dead, I don't care. But now that you found out about Mr. Walsh being a witch and vampire, you need to die. Because that little pretty mouth of yours isn't only good at kissing... it's good at sharing secrets." He says to me, taking another step. The pool is right besides us because the walls are pretty close to it. I feel claustrophobic and it's getting on my nerves.

"Go rot in Hell, you fucker." I growl to him and suddenly, he's behind me. A pointy knife is right at the base of my throat and I feel the sharpness. I probably didn't see him hold it unless it was in his pocket. The knife is pulled away at my throat but I feel it besides me.

"I hope you like to swim, Diana." He whispers in my ear while holding in my muffles because his hand is covering my opened mouth that's trying to suppress a scream. "Because this will be your last."

I feel something plunge at my lower back. It is pointy and big and my guess is the knife. I scream in agony because the pain erupted in my body, making every nerve in me lose control. My knees collapse but Dylan is holding me up by my throat. Small groans and moans are escaping my mouth while he pulls the knife out. I feel my shirt form with blood that is oozing out of my wound.

A strong breeze suddenly hits me for a second before I realize that Dylan has let me fall in the water. The pool shifts with waves from the impact of falling and it slowly mixes with the color of my blood. I am trying to gasp for air but I can't, I am swallowing water. My arms feel light like a feather but my whole body feels paralyzed.

I can't move.

I can't save myself.

The only way of saving myself was never falling in love with Xavier Dagger.
