A crossover of light and dark

15. a stranger in our midst (of our mission)

"hej inte så snabbt" I yelled at the girl meaning "not so fast' in Swedish who had grabbed my wrist and was pulling me along, but I was mainly quiet as she dragged me deeper into the school where I was already lost. Eventually, we passed into the cafeteria as people were heading back in and I stopped because I hadn't eaten anything, did I dare? I pulled off her and she stopped and walked over to me "Huh What's wrong?" and I said "Nothing..I just haven't eaten today kan vi sluta här " She nodded "What? yeah let's get some food before our 'class' I'm interested wait a

 sec you spoke another language" I nodded so we headed over to the cafeteria and got in line and she nodded "You're an interesting one, You got money right? What language did you speak?" and I nodded and went into my wallet and pulled out a load of pounds, and euros that would be hard to ignore, and she raised her eyebrow slightly and she nodded we got a table and

 I looked at my plate ham eggs and fish and potatoes. I looked at my food quietly meanwhile Avery noticed my silence and I blinked and she started to eat and she looked at me and said: "Are you ok Caleb?" I looked at her slightly and said "Huh yeah Im fine Im hungry" I lied after entering into the battle with the giant serpent food was far from my mind. 

 I sighed for a moment and began chewing on sausage and eggs that's when the girl looked at me and said "So tell me about yourself where are you from you spoke another language that seemed..foreign?" and I chewed my food so I had time to think before swallowing and said "Im

 in a dorm but IM a foreign exchange student my language is Swedish but I also speak Italian" and She looked at me slightly and said "You foreign? But you have home money" I nodded and opened my wallet and pulled out almost 300.00 euros she widened and said "Whoa euros, you're right your not from here" and I nodded "Well I am, but I wasn't... Based here Jag talar italienska och svenska" 

She started to eat and listened intently raised an eyebrow and said: "so what?" 

And I nodded and smiled  " I said I speak Italian and Swedish, Im from Europe" but I communicate all around, obviously are you going to report me for being foreign exchange?" She looked at me with food in her mouth swallowing and said "Ah thought there was something

 about you, Europeans are fascinating" and I started to eat, That is when I noticed her favoring her left arm and I narrowed my eyes at it "Something wrong with your arm?" and she shook her head "no just...I hurt it a little while ago" I narrowed my eyes slightly and I heard 

"be careful Ciaran either she is the attacker or saw the attacker or works with our attacker" and I nodded "That's unfortunate," I said out loud and Avery nodded "Its not something I can't handle" and I nodded "So tell me about yourself" and I shook my head "Nothing much Im new, I

 came from Europe as a foreign exchange student to London, looking to deal with some issues," and she nodded that's when I sensed Selene from one side, and pogue on the other of the cafeteria, apparently we are getting food, while still asking around, so I calmed down a bit.

That's when I heard "Relax Ciaran, you can't be too antsy to find answers or you'll spook your assailant he came to to hide not run, focus now eat" and I nodded, and that's when I really started to chow down. She nodded clueless of the conversation I was having with Nox. I nodded and looked at Avery and nodded "Im sorry, Im hungry what was that?" she nodded and handed me her milk and said "Milk?" I looked at her and said, "Yeah...sure" and took her

 milk and nodded and admired and she looked at me and said "its closed" and I nodded she smirked "easy cutie I can tell your skittish" and that reminded me of the time that I ran into Aimee back years back, sad to say she made her way into my heart like that" I started to feel

 bummed about it. Still, I decided to put that in my back pocket and sighed and focused on my world right now on the world around me the girl in front of me, I did something I normally dont do..I smiled and I opened the milk and drank it was chocolate who could say no to chocolate milk? I that when 

Something big happened as I was finishing the food on my plate- the fire alarm went off and at that moment I felt another viel form and my mind widened as the massive earthquakes shook the inside of the building I thought it was. It occurred it was coming inside the building that's

 when panic happened and the people all started to run that's when I got up. I was suddenly blasted through the air and slammed into the massive window of glass that spiderweb fractured but didn't break through, my head shoulders, and back collided with the wall of glass. 

I dropped onto the floor slightly and shook my head as I climbed up and saw Avery setting up the "field" that shockingly made  the panicking people around us "vanish" in a red mist that  Avery"absorbed" and I knew the horrible truth of what that meant, and I got up on my feet and with fire, in my eyes, I looked at her "I-I can't believe you did that Avery do you know what you just did You those were lives, other people..you your gonna pay for your bloodthirsty move I was

 right you your the one that struck us" and looked only for a second as the one around her formed forward thanks to the power of the "red mist" it was Chase who stepped forward and I widened my eyes and cursed "You I knew it was you how dare you take lives for you your power hungry games you're gonna pay for your bloodthirsty ritual in nome di Tyrs, questo ti costerà" and She smirked and when she spoke her voice sounded doubled based like she was in a trance and IT said 

"the church once again you guys starting to be a nuisance,  Ciaran other than sons of Ipswich, you keep getting in my way left and right, I'm gonna take you out here and now that way we can continue with our plans without interruptions" And an energy field formed around them and I climbed to my feet and I growled "what are you doing here? Of all places a university your far from home" She smirked as I realized  what I just saw was my answer.. they looked at

 me and spat in my direction "That right Ciaran, this was my school...where i met the four families, as well as kate and Sarah..but what am I doing here now, you just saw the cows are ready for slaughtering power in blood..of course, Ive been tracking you tracking me...why so  hot for what's in my interest Ciaran? " and I growled at her/him and closed my eyes and unfolded a

 knife that slashed my arm and causing blood to start to pull out and that's when she opened her hand and pointed it at me "I wouldn't summon your familiar here in front of all these witnesses I only took a few of the people..not everyone" 

 I growled back at her and said "Are you sure you didn't set up a field that doesn't MURDER everyone in our view?  and the cameras, and now that you mention it the people all just about gone thanks to KILLING all those people" and then my eyes widened "no that's why and how you killed all those family members for the power of the blood that you don't drain  you made

 murder sigils that turned BLOOD into a mist  that you absorb that's why the blood was gone and the body was charred dettaglio piuttosto cruento"(in quite gorey detail) and he smirked "for an advanced hunter you didn't see that coming huh talk about not being very bright and  being behind the ball" and I growled and said 

"However using your magic and me using my magic are two sides of the same coin you should have seen this coming, you hid us so you could use magic on me without witnesses, but now I can use magic on you..without witnesses in nome di Tyr, questo ti costerà caro"(in the name of

 TYR this is gonna cost you dearly)and I charged energy into my hands and  clapped my hands together and opened it fast and drastically causing a wave of electrical energy to form in millions of tiny orbs the size of baseballs and screamed "Tlob" and threw a bolt of lightning towards him

 causing him to widen his eyes slightly and put up his own shield that caused the orbs to bounce off both of us and when they clicked into one another they created mini charges around one another  I smirked, "How long can you take this force before your energy shield cracks?" I yelled

 and pointed my hand forward at him again and went into my pocket pulled out a few more tiny crystals and yelled "This is where it ends" I threw it into the ground causing an expanse of ice energy that froze around us that froze the bolts and in place that explode like mini bombs blowing us, the windows.

 everything like a bomb that's when the veil cracked as Avery got up and  shook her head "huh where am I?" It was in that moment that I realized we had won...for now" the last thing I saw and heard was the cracking of the shield..and I passed out
