Blood on the Floor
**Chapter 6: Blood on the Floor
Blackwood Academy was no longer just a battlefield of power and deception.
**It was a war zone.**
And tonight—someone was about to get **hurt.**
---
**The Aftermath of the Attack**
Sienna barely slept.
The warning in her locker. The attack in the dark. The black card with the word **RUN.**
And now—**Damien's warning.**
She had too many enemies and **not enough answers.**
As she walked into the cafeteria the next morning, the whispers started immediately.
"She's the one Killian was looking at yesterday."
"What's her deal with Damien?"
"She's definitely hiding something."
She tried to ignore them, heading toward the breakfast line—until a voice stopped her.
**"Who the hell did this to you?"**
A tray **slammed** onto the table.
She looked up.
**Killian.**
His icy eyes burned into her, flickering over the small cut on her wrist—the one she got while fighting off her attacker last night.
Sienna clenched her jaw. "It's nothing."
Killian tilted his head, his expression unreadable.
"You don't belong here, new girl," he said finally. **"Not in this school. Not in this war."**
Her hands curled into fists. "And you do?"
His lips curved. **"I own it."**
Before she could respond, **Celeste arrived.**
Wearing her signature smirk, **her presence was a venomous cloud.**
"Oh, Sienna, darling," Celeste drawled, voice dripping with sarcasm. "It's adorable how you think you can stand next to men like Damien and Killian. But let's be honest—you're just a toy to them."
Killian's jaw **tightened.**
Damien, who had been leaning against a pillar nearby, finally spoke. **"Walk away, Celeste."**
Celeste smiled, tossing her golden hair back.
"Oh, Damien." Her voice turned playful. **"Since when do you care about her?"**
Silence.
A sharp, **dangerous silence.**
Sienna **felt the weight of his stare.**
Then—**he turned and left.**
**And that hurt more than it should have.**

**Professor Hayes's Forbidden Mistake**
Callum Hayes shouldn't have come here.
But here he was.
Standing outside **Sienna's dorm.**
She had left something in his classroom—a notebook. And yet, when she finally opened the door, something in her eyes told him **this wasn't just about the notebook.**
He held it out. "You forgot this."
She took it slowly, fingers brushing against his for a second **too long.**
Silence.
Then—Sienna spoke.
"Someone's watching you."
His stomach **dropped.**
She wasn't supposed to know.
"What?" he asked, his voice carefully neutral.
"I saw it," she murmured. "The blackmail note. I know someone's threatening you."
His breath hitched. "Sienna, you—"
But before he could finish—**her fingers curled around his tie.**
She pulled him **just a little closer.**
Enough to feel her breath on his skin.
Enough to be a temptation.
Enough to be **dangerous.**
"I can keep a secret," she whispered.
His throat **went dry.**
And for the first time, **he didn't know if he wanted her to.**

**The Blood on the Floor**
By the time Sienna made it to the main hallway, she could already hear the **shouting.**
A **fight.**
She pushed through the crowd—**and froze.**
Blood.
**Dripping onto the white marble floor.**
And standing over a beaten, coughing student—**was Damien.**
His knuckles were bruised, his breath ragged, his gray eyes **dark and lethal.**
Sienna had never seen him like this.
The victim—a boy from the football team—spat blood onto the floor. "You're insane, Lancaster."
Damien didn't respond.
He just **looked up.**
Right at her.
And then he walked away—**without a word.**
Leaving behind **the destruction he had caused.**
Leaving behind **Sienna, who couldn't look away.**
And leaving behind **a secret no one else knew.**
**That fight?**
It was because of her.
---
**Celeste's New Game**
Celeste watched everything from a distance, her fingers tapping against her phone.
Sienna had **too much power.**
Damien was obsessed with her. Killian was watching her. Even Professor Hayes was **too close.**
It was time to **end this.**
So she sent a single message.
To an unknown number.
**"Make her disappear."**
---
**End of Chapter 6**
- **Killian Voss confronts Sienna—why does he care?**
**Celeste officially declares war.**
Professor Hayes makes a dangerous mistake—Sienna knows about his Blackmail
**Damien brutally beats a student—because of Sienna.**
**Celeste orders someone to make Sienna disappear.**
And now, **Sienna is in more danger than ever.**
**Are you ready for Chapter 7? Because things are about to get DEADLY.**
