MISTY

"Thank goodness you're okay, I thought something happened to you." I quickly stood up as I saw Julien entered the student council's Office with Lance, she looks and feels a bit nervous as I hugged her.

"Misty, I'm fine. Thank you."

"Where have you been?" I asked "When I heard about what happened to Trixie, I was immediately looking for you. You suddenly disappeared when we were on our rounds."

"I wasn't feeling well, I need to be alone for a while that time."

"It's good that you're with, Lance."

"Where's Trixie?" Bryle asked "Have you seen her?"

"I don't know, she was here a while ago. Have you told Mindy to come here?"

"Yeah, texted Nico. They're coming"

"Mindy, do you have the crest?" I reached for my pocket and gave it to him and sighed "It's a raven crest, they've gotten inside."

"This is the exact same Crest that I saw, when my dad was killed."

"What are we going to do, Lance?" I asked "Do you think they'll come back?"

"First is how did they got in?" he said "We need to find first on how they got inside, before we act something to change it"

"Do you think someone got in here first?" everyone looked at Jeth "Like one of them already got inside without us knowing or maybe they have an ally here helping them get inside?"

"How can you be so sure on what you're saying?" Julien asked

"Not a hundred percent, but what if one of us are going to be attacked again?" he said "What if we'll investigate them one by one?"

"Are you crazy? How can you investigate a Thousand of students?" I said "Can you do that huh, Jeth?"

"Guys, I was thinking. Do you think there's a spy, pretending to be like us?"

"Problem is, how are we going to know if he or she is a spy?"

"My grandfather once told me, that there's a mark on their shoulder."

"What kind of mark?"

"A crow that have red eyes in it, if that person has it then he's from there."

"Oh, Bryle. You're a grandfather's boy as always." Bryle gave me a little laugh, I saw Julien who is silently sitting down at the couch with her legs crossed, she looks so pale and uncomfortable, she stood up which grabs everyone's attention.

"Lance, I'll go back to the dorm and drink some medicine."

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"Stay here, I'll be fine." she went out leaving us four here at the office, I stood up and got my bags from the couch.

"Misty where are you going?"

"Stay here, Bryle. Don't worry, I'm going to follow her."

LANCE

"A crow with red eyes, huh?"

I looked at the picture frame at my table, it was the photo of me and Aldren, making me think on what he said before. Aldren once told me that he those before, but he wasn't able to tell me where he saw it.

"Lance, they're here"

"Let them in, where's Nico?"

"Oh, he went with Jeth." Terrence came in followed by Amanda "Amanda, you're here."

"I let her come with me, she brought me to the clinic"

"Why? did something happened to you?"

"I was with Trixie when she was attacked, I was badly bleeding."

"I'm sorry that happened, please have a seat."

"It wasn't your fault, why apologize?"

"The Barrier that I made for this academy's safety, someone broke in." I reached out and opened the drawer beside me and gave it to Terrence.

"Left this after your sister being attacked."

"Is that a Crest?" Amanda looked into the crest Terrence is holding

"Where did you found it?" Mindy asked "Is this the one Trixie told us about?"

"Black empire and yes that's the one" they all looked at me except for Amanda, her eyes are still on the crest that Terrence is holding.

"What are they doing here?

"We are guessing that maybe someone helped them to get inside here, maybe one of the students are pretending that they're on the good side. Before I'll continue, where's Trixie?"

"She's outside, she doesn't want to come." Bryle took a quick glance at the door and whispered into my ear

"She's mad at you for what happened to Terrence."

"You know what, let her come in." Mindy stood up and opened the door to call Trixie, Crystal came inside first followed by Trixie.

"So, you're saying?"

"So, you're not going to say something?" she asked "Apologizing for what happened?"

"Why would I apologize?"

"None of this would happen if you didn't assign me to train with that girl, it almost costs my life and my brother being badly injured."

"Okay there's two things, one it's not my fault that your brother is badly injured and second, you are right. I would like to apologize for the inconvenience, now please sit down."

"Whatever."

"So, how do we know that they're spies of Black empire?" Mindy asked "Do you have any plans?"

"I can't inspect each and every student here, that's too tiring."

"I thought Bryle and Nicholas are the ones who are lazy, looks like they forgot one."

"Truth always comes out in the right time" I said "Let's not waste our time in it, also we have to keep in mind to be alert."

"Do you think my sister is one of them by any chance?"

"Excuse me?!" she looked at Terrence "What did you say?!"

"I'm your sister, how did your mind come up that I'm with that?!"
