Act 12

We followed the senior who rush to the dinning room earlier, he bring us to the small garden behind the mansion. What we saw was a boar corpse, it guts was dug out form it's body. The boar's blood splatter everywhere, even though it is still in the mornings, the ravens gather at the garden to eat the boar corpse.

Because of the commotion, the rest of my friends and senior was woken up by the noise that we make. They joins us at the garden, even thought we still didn't eat breakfast, some of us still puke by the sight that they just saw. After seeing this, most of us lose our appetite but as I am hungry, I go to the kitchen and take some food for my self. I bring it to the bed room as I don't want to be called a heartless person.

Ian also take some food then bring it to the bed room. The two of us enjoy our food. "What will we do today? As we are only on our third day here, it is boring to not do anything but we can't go out." Ian said, he take a bite of the rice ball. "Mmmm, delicious as always."

"Thanks. Then if we can't go out, let's just explore the mansion." I stuff my mouth with a salad, then I look at Ian while I'm chewing.

Ian laugh, "Sure, let's do that for today. When we are tired, we can go to the library to read some books." Ian suggest. I nodded at him.

Jake and Noah enter the room with their breakfast. "I never thought that something like this will happen so early in the morning." Noah.

"It must be a prank from the senior, remember Carla's story. It must be the same as that." Jake said. They didn't speak anything about last night in front of me.

"What's story" I ask looking at them.

Jake told me and Ian about what happen at the ball room. Me and Ian were interested about the story, we look at each other. Now we know where to explore first, My ability can prove it if it's was really true or not.

Me and Ian stand in front of the girls rooms, we want to bring May with us. But as I want to knock the door, there was a sound of a glass breaking. Ian push Me gently then he turn the door knob, luckily the door was not lock. He push the door, what we saw inside the room was Lydia and May hugging each other in the corner of the room. Carla was at the floor holding her forehead and it was bleeding. Ian enter the room and walk toward Carla carefully because there was a lot of small piece of glass on the floor, I also enter the room. Jude was standing at the center of the room and she's fuming mad, she is staring at Carla.

"JUDE!" I yell at her, I saw that there was a piece of glass in her hand. It is sharp as she already hurt her self, her palm was bleeding to.

I go to Jude, I hold her hand gently. I know that she ain't going to hurt me, "Jude." I call her name softly. She looks at me.

After she look at me, she suddenly cried. I hug her gently while patting her back, "Hey, suuussshh. It is fine." I console her, I can feel Ian's piercing gaze at us. I ignore it as calming Jude is much important right now. I didn't forget to take the glass from Jude hand.

Carla also crying in Ian embrace. I sigh.

"I don't know what happen to me, I can't control my emotion." Jude suddenly start speaking, she still crying. "Carla was telling me to spend less time with K and stay with you all more as we are friends but after hearing this I suddenly feel anger in me, I didn't even realize that I throw a vase at Carla." She added.

After hearing this and looking at May behavior, I have some thought as to why this things happen. If it only a normal quarrel then Lydia or May can step in to stop this two but what if it is not normal. I rub Jude hair, then to her nape. It is hot to the touch, after I touch her nape she suddenly push herself away from me. She was glaring at me. 'Damn this instinct of mine.' I curse.

"MAY! take Lydia out of this room, IAN! you help Carla." Without looking at the two of them I gave my instruction.

Ian and May stood slowly bringing the two out of the room, Jude was growling. Saliva was dripping from her mouth, she lick her palm where the wound was. She smile looking at me, "What will you do now young priest?" She ask me.

I calmly look at her. I don't have any power like what the child that I meet at the rubbles area said but I have a fair share of experience in 'curing' people because my grandmother always bring me with her when she do her 'treatment'. She also let me help her so I know what exactly that I need to do here. "I don't know any priest and I am also not one of this priest that you are talking about." I said.

I close the door to the bed room and I lock it from the inside. I start chanting my incantation, Jude was in pain after hearing it. She was screaming and begging for me to stop, the other who is outside of the room also hear this. May was guarding the door because she know how importance that no one disturb me right now. Jude's scream attract the other seniors to crowd outside the bed room.

After two hour pass, I unlock the door. "May please help Jude to change her clothes."

"Yes. How is she?" ask May, "Will it came back?" she ask again.

"It will not came back as of now but we need to look after her. We can't let her be alone on her own, I am afraid that Jude will do something reckless that will invite it to enter her again. I can't promise that she will be safe if it happen for the second time." I said looking at May, she understood my meaning behind the words. I am tired.

"What's happen to Jude?." after I go out from the girls bed room, my shirt was grab harshly by K.

I stare straight to K's eyes. "I should 'read' you sooner. You are nothing but trouble, stop with what you are trying to do here. You already 'taste' one and I will not let you to 'taste' another, enough is enough." I said with determination in my voice. I turn around to go to the boys room but I turn back, I clench my hand. I punch K in his face, my friends look at me with astonishment in their face. "If you want to die then die alone, don't bring my friends with you. That punch was a greetings from me to you, it's for ruining Jude." I then leave him there.

"Let's us and the girls stay in one room, I will feel safe if we do this beside we can watch Jude together." I said to Jake.

"Sure, let's do just that." Jake agreed with my suggestion.
