The Transference

C15

I've always loved the idea of being alone and for a second I thought I was but to be honest, I've never really been alone, even when I thought I was alone I had people around me. There was Xander, April, Justin and Jessica in Westhigh. Even then I had my parents. I got to The Vale and became invisible but I still had people: Roman, the headmaster, Nate even the twins. They were always around. On the Island, I had Damian.

I guess I never really knew what loneliness was until now.

Someone, possibly a witch spelled my friends to kill me. When I first heard from the headmaster, I thought he was high but frankly, he can't be intoxicated, so it was out of the picture, besides why would he lie?

I was there when it happened. I saw the way they all acted in sync. A part of me knew it wasn't them but the idea of my friends killing me is fucking messed up. I'm glad my powers kicked in and the ravens saved me.

I haven't seen or heard from them since it happened. I left the headmaster's office after he told me he'd put surveillance on me, as if I haven't been under much pressure as it is. One thing I learned from what happened last semester is that someone is always watching, even if they present themselves as saint. Miranda was my first suspect because she warned me not to trust anyone especially the people close to me and the following day I got stabbed by an unknown assailant. A week later I got attacked by my best friends. It's not a coincidence. I'll reopen my almost murder case when or if I get back but first I have to get away.

Looking for Roman's spirit or body or whatever the hell he is, seems like a perfect distraction. It's a bonus because I was going to leave the school anyway but what happened two days ago was an eye opener that I'm not safe in The Vale, I've never been safe there and I don't think I will ever be safe there. I can defend myself but where has that gotten me. I've lost every fight I've been in since I resumed this semester. It's definitely not my year and I was really looking forward to junior year.

After the headmaster told me what happened and they couldn't find the person that spelled them. They swept the school, looked everywhere but nothing turned up. It's funny because before two day they knew something was abnormal, they could feel the unpleasant energy around the school but everything is normal now like whoever wanted me dead was never there. Knowing that doesn't give me the assurance that I would be safe. I knew I needed to get away from there fast. I went back to my room, carry my backpack and flew away not before cloaking myself. I know Damian and the headmaster would look for me because it seem like they are the only ones that deeply cares, it's their job as subject of my grandmother but I don't want them to find me. I need some alone time.

Hence, why I'm feeling helplessly lonely. I used to live in a place where everyone knew each other, so I was never afraid of going to places. But here I am, going to a place where I don't know anyone. I'm following a map that I don't know where it leads exactly.

Damian always said I shouldn't feel anymore because I'm the granddaughter of most dangerous creature in the universe. But my humanity is stronger than my other part, so the moment I land on the ground outside the school gate because walking through would trigger the Magic defense system and the headmaster would stop me or worse he might send Damian with me, and the last thing I need right now is going on a road trip with someone that rejected me and somehow I still have feelings for.

My heart beats faster the more step I take because I'm afraid. I don't know why I'm scared.

The bus ride to Concord Hills seems forever, it stops in the city and according to my map, it says I'm still three towns away and I've been traveling for two days. Haven't eaten or slept a wink because I can't let my guard down. Who knows what they'll do to me in my sleep?
