"What do you think is going on? " Sabrina asked Asher as they drove to the school.
"I don't know but judging from the noise in the background, I can tell it's not a good thing" Asher answered, clutching the steering wheel tight.
This was moments he wished Dan was available to teleport him quickly to the school and though Sabrina could summon portals but it consumes lots of energy and was limited.
But he drove over the speed limit and pulled up at the school in no time. He literally flew out of the car the moment he saw students running helter scatter.
He grabbed one of the fleeing students whose expression was ashen by the arm, halting him.
" What's going on? " Asher asked him and though the boy tried to speak but no words came out of his agape mouth - it was obvious the poor boy was shocked beyond words. Instead his hands kept moving expressively through the air but Asher couldn't make sense out of it.
Asher had no choice than to let go of the boy when he felt his phone ring, he slid his hand into his pocket and brought out the phone, watching the name flash across the screen.
"Who's that? " Sabrina asked, trying to peek at his screen.
"Amala, leader of the falcon coven " Asher told her and she trembled.
"If Amala knows, that means the council has an idea of what is going on "
Asher ignored the call, letting it ring on as he faced Sabrina " There was no way we were going to hide this forever, all we have to do now is damage control "
Just then a familiar voice said from behind "Oh thank God you're here "
Asher turned around and wasn't surprised to find his assistance with a relieved expression on her features and a heaving chest.
'What's going on here? " He passed the question to her.
Sheila adjusted her glasses " Some students were caught exhibiting some disturbing behaviours during class " She explained as she led them inside the hallways bustling with activities; students were running here and there.
"What behaviour? " Sabrina queried interestedly.
"It all started when a student picked a pair of scissors and stabbed the other in the stomach and several other students later carried on with the same routine "
Sabrina and Asher stopped in their tracks as soon as the information passed through their ears.
"It's a distraction " Sabrina told him " He's trying to keep us busy, he doesn't want us to catch up with him " and he nodded.
Sheila's brow rose up " Distraction? who's causing a distraction? "
But Asher didn't reply but ordered her instead "Call an ambulance and get the rest of the students out of here, the school should be closed down for today " He then said under his breath " Thankfully today is a Friday "
At lest it would give him time to come up with an excuse to cover this incident and minimize losses.
Though Sheila wanted to inquire further on what's going on but she knew she wouldn't get a word out of him once he sets his mind.
She then asked " What about those err disturbing students? They're being restricted in the gymnasium cause the kids are behaving like a dog gone rabid? "
"How many are they in number?" Asher inquired while striding to the gym alongside Sabrina.
" They were six previously but now five "
Asher stopped and turned to face his assistant " What about the other missing student, what happened? "
"According to eye witnesses, they claim he left with another student amid the confusion "
Sabrina grabbed her suddenly on the arm scaring the poor woman " Did you get the name? "
"Ouch, you're hurting me and who are the hell are you anyway? " Sheila complained and Sabrina released her having realized she didn't control her strength.
"Answer the question Sheila " Asher insisted and though she wanted to protest but the look on his face caused shivers to run down her spine.
"T-the students called him Tre-vo... Trevor or something "
"Oh my God " Sabrina gasped " He must have gone to Lia's place since he's now in full control of Ben's memory " She surmised.
Sheila stared at them confused " Who is in -?"
"Who did he leave with? " Asher interrupted her question
"I can't really tell, the students didn't give me a name - "
"But I'm sure they gave a description " he pressed on.
Sheila stared at him mouth agape, how did he know that? "Y-yes " She choked " Mentioned black curly hair - "
"Can't be a coincidence that Ben has curly black hair too " Sabrina interrupted her.
"Lia's next " Asher figured out at once " He's going for Lia "
"Go, I'll handle the school " Sabrina assured him, patted him on the shoulder and started towards the gymnasium much to Sheila's bewilderment.
