Symbol Of Death

I had to sit through three more excruciatingly long classes before it was lunch break. Ariah called me over at the end of Numerology class, but I waved her off and rushed out to track down Elijah.

It took me another few minutes, before I found him standing by the announcement board with a frown on his face.

My eyes lifted onto the board, where a clear picture of both Katie and Lila, asking students to come forth if they had any information that might lead to an arrest.

“Hey,” I walked up to him and the guard that had been shadowing him, turned, crossed his arms to his chest and glared at me.

Elijah shot the guard a dirty look, then peered at me. “Hi.”

He wasn’t smiling, which bothered me a great deal. “Is there something…” My voice trailed and I peered uncomfortably at the guard.

Elijah’s jaw ticked. “I’d tell you, but I have a dimwit following me everywhere.”
