Chapter 2 Lost

"What is going on here?" Mr. Tim the history teacher barked.

Nobody spoke as they were all frozen with a surprised expression on their faces, even the vampires that were previously very active had gone rigid in shock.

Mr. Tim felt a dangerous aura that reeked of bloodlust emanating from somewhere in the room. The aura was so strong that he himself couldn't help but be intimidated. It was quite unlike anything he had ever felt before. He quickly looked around the classroom trying to find where it was coming from only to be shocked by what he saw.

Meanwhile, the students in the room had snapped out of their shock once the felt an overbearing and suffocating feeling envelope them. Even the strongest among them couldn't help but tremble in fear as they all looked towards the source.

Tyler lost control and let his animalistic side take over him but before he could fully process anything, he found himself being flung backwards by a strong force. After that, everything went dark and when he came to, he was sitting on a pile of rubble that was once part of the wall behind him.

He blinked continuously as he tried to clear his head and shake off the pain he was feeling now. He then remembered that he had been 'talking' to that unknown girl before everything went dark. His head snapped up almost immediately as he looked towards the place he had been standing previously.

Crystal stood at the center of it all with a strong bloodlust emanating from her body but the weird thing was that she was totally still. It did not seem like she was still here as she stared off into space with her colorful eyes with no expression. One would have thought she was a statue if it wasn't for the occasional rise and fall of her chest. Apart from that, every other part of her was still and that included her eyes.

The eyes of everyone in the room was focused on her as they cowered in fear and expected her to kill someone but when Mr. Tim saw that she still wasn't moving, he cautiously approached her even though he was scared. Once he got to where she was, he called out her name continuously with the aim of bringing her back.

Meanwhile, in the head of crystal, she was currently walking aimlessly in a vast and barren land filled with nothing but darkness. Her eyes which had turned obsidian black was looking all around and her face donned a lost expression. About an hour ago, she had felt an inexplicable sense of crisis when Tyler had tried to bite her but she knew that she was no match for him so she wanted to accept her fate.

She then closed her eyes to await the impact but after a while she felt nothing but a gust of cold air on her body. She opened her eyes to assess her situation only to be shocked as she found her self in this dark and empty space.

She walked and walked for a while with hope of finding an exit but she was not able to find. When she gave up the search, she found a deep fog of despair envelope her as her emotions started seeping like liquid from her body. When she was almost fully one with the despair, she heard a soft and almost unnoticeable voice call out to her.

At first, she didn't have much of a reaction but when the voice came back stronger and much firmer than before, she finally snapped out of it. She looked around, trying to locate the soothing yet firm and somewhat familiar voice but she couldn't pinpoint the source.

Suddenly a bright light shone upon he from above and her train of thoughts were something between angel and dramatic. She didn't see any angel after the light dimmed but she had this comforting feeling envelope her as an invisible hand brushed against her face. She didn't know where it was coming from but instead of feeling panic, she felt comforted.

"My child, you are meant for great things so do not give in to despair because you will be the one to determine what you want your fate to bring" the voice said.

A gust of wind blew past crystal and in that time frame, the sprit whispered something that was almost incoherent to her and the color of her eyes finally returned to normal.

"Go my child, your destiny is awaiting" she said

Crystal felt a force pushing her in the direction of the door that she hadn't noticed had appeared earlier. She headed towards it and when she was almost through, she couldn't help but turn back to look at the direction of the voice again as she felt a strong sense of familiarity with that person.

"Go my child, I will always be watching over you" The voice sounded out once more, much softer than before.

Crystal turned towards the door and crossed the thresh hold, when she came to, she found herself lying on a soft bed. She was confused as she didn't know what happened and before she could ponder it even more the door opened and her history teacher stepped in.

Once Mr. Tim looked up and saw that she was awake, the slits of his eyes dilated and there was obvious fear on his face. He couldn't help but think back to what went down in the class previously and all the things that crystal said and how she looked while she said it.

An hour ago, Mr. Tim kept calling out to crystal to snap her out of her trance and she did snap out of it but just in a way that was unexpected. Her eyes that were a mixture of blue and red suddenly changed again to obsidian black as she starred muttering things that were incoherent at first but once it got clearer was shocking.

"He is coming, the Bringer of darkness is coming, the devourer of souls is coming, the destruction of the world is upon us, he will take the world by storm and bring it to its knees. No one will be spared; doom is upon us" was what she kept repeating with a twisted expression on her beautiful face.

After she said it five times, her eyes changed back to their original color and she slumped and fainted. She was then brought to the school clinic by Mr. Tim and some other brave students after which the school management and staff were informed of it.

He approached her cautiously and when he was before her, she looked up with a confused expression. It was only then that he heaved a sigh of relief before he proceeded to ask her.

"What you said about the bringer of darkness, is it true?"
