Trying to decide what’s right

As I went to my first classroom where students were seated in their seats. The teacher looks at me with one hand on her hips as her other hand holds a stack of paper.

Then she said, "You are late. If you don't have a pass, then you will need to go to the office."

I nodded my head as I gave the pass to her.

She stared at me suspiciously before looking at the pass closely.

She looks at me disdainfully as she tells me, "Since you have a pass, you can go to your assigned seat now. I was about to pass out the tests. Don't be late next time."

I watched her quietly, then went into my seat.

Yesterday night-

As soon as Dawn used the potion she pictures her home. Alex and I watched her figure become very faded as she was surrounded by black smoke.

We saw her evaporate as the smoke disappeared into thin air.

Alex turned toward me as she asked, "Who was that young lady? I haven't seen her before."

I responded, "She's not from this school."

Alex nodded her head and told him she had to go home. She had completed some work, so she's planning to leave. I can see the exhaustion on her face as her fuzzy hair is wrapped in a ponytail holder.

I told her she should get some rest and she could take a few days off if it's necessary. She smiled as she shook her head before grabbing her purse off the table.

As I watched her leave, I decided to go back into Lucas's office as I knew our conversation wasn't over.

As I entered through the door, I saw Lucas pouring some tequila into a wine glass. Lucas saw me coming through, so I went to sit in the same chair he was sitting in.

He shakes his head as he says, "Hey, I was sitting in that chair, pick another chair."

I grinned tiredly as I said, "Too bad. I'm sitting in this chair, you can pick a different chair."

He laughed as he sat in the chair behind his desk.

As he took a sip of the tequila and asked, "What's the deal with the dhampir and the siren? What are you going to with her and the siren as well?"

I looked at him as I thought about it, then said, "Honestly, I don't know yet. I think we should keep an eye on them. I don't think Dawn is that bad, but people can change over time. I honestly didn't think I would meet a dhampir. Usually, a dhampir is rare since they have difficulties at birth and are persecuted since their abilities frightens people. I think she should come here since she would have more opportunities to meet more people who are like her. As for that siren, I'm not sure. When I met him in the woods, he was so feral that I had to use a sedative. Honestly, I don't know what to do with him."

Lucas nodded his nodded his head as he listened to me.

Then he said, "Jonathan, I hope you know what you're doing. Meeting a dhampir and a siren as well seems so strange as if it was planned."

I nodded my head in response and I told him I would need a witch to make fake test results and call Dawn's mother, so Dawn could come here.

I grabbed a cup from the table and poured some tequila as well. As I swallowed some of the tequila, my face scrunch together since I can taste the bitterness. It's very rarely I drink, but I usually do when times are stressful.

Before Lucas leaves the room and gets up, Lucas's words grab my attention, "I have a feeling that things won't be so simple in the future. I could be paranoid, but the fact there is a siren and a dhampir together in this school is such a strange coincidence that I have a bad feeling something big is coming in the future. Things won't be the same no more. When I have a bad feeling about something, my intuition is usually right since we both have been in this world for a long time. Peace don't usually last for a long time."

As I finished drinking the cup and went outside of the building. I watched Lucas get in the car as he drove away.

For some reason, when I learned about the dhampir's existence and meeting the siren in the woods, the oracles's words from sixteen years ago appears in my head.

'Every ending has a beginning

As the child of darkness returns to the beginning

The child of darkness remains oblivious to the danger that is near

Where the descendent of Kammapa seeks destroy all living form of life

If she doesn't wake up, the child of darkness will lose everything

Just like the last time

On her second journey, she meets her siren in the woods

They have met before, but memories are lost in time

Her siren seeks for its missing kin

As the siren find its kin, the kin is broken in spirit and body

The siren cries and seek vengeance

Death knocks on the door

Death was defeated

The child of darkness and her siren remember it's forgotten past

The world will remember what it's like to fear her

The child of darkness lose its reason in its hatred and rampage

Her siren must reason with her humanity

Or everything will be lost once again

Only when they are united can they stop the primordial being who have awaken once again"
