Planting a seed

The whole school had been searched top to bottom and there were still no traces of either Minny, or her father, and the search had even extended to other family members as well. 

Jared, one of the top students before Minny came along, was paying attention to what the others were saying. While sitting in his class seat, he closed his eyes, focusing on his ears. Although a vampire's hearing was better than most, it was hard for them to separate the conversation and sounds around them. 

The more they could hear, also meant that there were more distractions, but Jared had been training with one of the best in the settlement, the original known as Magnus.

'So they're looking for Minny and her family? What happened? Did they find out about Minny and her mother's strength? No, that makes no sense, especially for something this big.'
