The next day Eve was walking with Emily by her side through the bustling courtyard of the university. The sky was clear today and the sun was shining brightly, casting a warm glow over the ancient stone buildings.
For some reason, their remaining classes had been postponed today. The two girls were chatting about their upcoming exams when they noticed a sudden change in the atmosphere.
Students were whispering in hushed tones, and a few professors were standing together, their faces tight with concern. Eve followed their gazes and saw a line of sleek, black cars pulling up to the front of the main building. The air seemed to grow colder despite the sun, a chill running down her spine.
As the cars came to a stop, a tall, imposing figure stepped out of the lead vehicle. He was an older man, but his presence was commanding, with an air of authority that made everyone around him seem insignificant.
