Yorick:
Flashback:
"You’re going to the academy," my mother stated, sitting with and holding my hand.
I began to frown. I had no clue why this was happening. I thought only kids who were troubled or had issues went there.
"You want to go to the academy and fight monsters?" I asked my mother in disbelief. I was really sad that she even suggested sothing like that.
"It is not in our hands. We have to send one of our children, and it has to be you since you know your brother," she explained, then paused and looked down.
Before I could say anything else, my father slamd his hand on the table to get our attention.
"Why are you so sad? It is not like you will not get out of it," he remarked.
I frowned at my father. There was no way what he was saying was truly going to happen. He knew it too.
"There is a history tied to the academy. The only way soone survived is if they got rid of all the monsters, or if they kept going north for the rest of their life, fought the monsters, and ca back alive. That is the only way," I told my father, looking straight into his eyes, because he was not fooling .
As my mother smiled softly at , I began to realize they were rather calm.
"I do not understand," I told them, staring between the two.
"There are other ways to get a crusader out of the academy," my father comnted. His fingers tapped on the table, following a pattern. He started with his little finger, then the ring finger, and then, like a wave, he tapped through the rest until he noticed I had picked up on the confidence in his voice.
"I would really love for you to explain it to ," I said to him, and he chuckled, nodding his head.
"Apart from giving away the pack, there is another way. Do not worry. When it is ti, you will be out," my father reassured .
I began to wonder if my father had lost his mind. He always spoke like this, trying to reassure that everything would be fine. But I knew it was a lie. Once I was there, I would be stuck forever.
End Of Flashback
"You have lost your mind, but do not forget, you do not have magic to control us this ti. You are going to fail miserably," I told Oriana, giving her a hard shake.
She stared at as if she already knew she would win this ti.
"I do not need to do any magic this ti," she replied, suddenly clinging to my jacket. I lost my grip on her arms when she latched onto .
"You coming here. I had you fall right into my trap."
The mont she said those words, I rembered my gut feeling. I was right. I had known I should stay away from her.
I tried to step back, but she grabbed my jacket. Before I could even think about what she ant, her eyes landed on the dagger on the ground, and she suddenly knelt to grab it. I knew I needed to get the dagger away from her.
She held it by the handle, pointing it at , and I grabbed it by the blade. That was when she suddenly let go, but she began to scream at the top of her lungs.
"Help ! Help !"
As she scread, she lunged at , scratching my face and everywhere she could reach. I swung the dagger and hit her under the jaw with the handle. My hand was bleeding badly, and the noise was so loud that my ears began to ring.
Heat rushed to my head as she kept coming at , scratching and even ripping my shirt. Then she began to undo my belt. I pushed her back and started fixing my belt while she lay there screaming.
"Help ! What the fuck is wrong with you?"
I fixed my belt in a hurry, but what she said next made stop.
"Look what he did! Look what he was doing to !"
My head snapped toward her. She was on the ground with her legs spread apart. The skirt she was wearing was pushed up to her stomach. Her clothes were disheveled, with one strap of her top torn off.
It looked wrong. Then I noticed her eyes shift to the side. I turned my head and saw the ringleaders standing there, watching us with horrified looks on their faces.
"What the heck is going on here?" Ms. Lenora demanded as she was the first to rush forward. She went straight to Oriana, who instantly pulled her skirt down to cover herself before hugging Ms. Lenora and crying.
All eyes turned to . I looked to my right and noticed that even the crusaders had co out to watch. The lurkers were beginning to gather as well.
"What is going on here?" Mr. Rick yelled as he strode toward .
"I do not know. She had a dagger, and she was attacking , so I took it from her," I tried to explain, but the way he ca at and grabbed my wrist to check the dagger gave a very bad feeling.
I let go of the dagger, and it fell to the ground. The next thing I knew, Mr. Rick shoved back, and the lurkers started coming at .
"Wait, I did not do anything. She is lying. She was attacking ," I shouted at the top of my lungs.
"Hey, let him go," Ian called out as he was the first to jump in and defend .
After that, others rushed forward too. They pushed the lurkers away and ford a circle around .
"Do you not see what he did to her?" Mr. Rick yelled.
Everyone froze.
"I did not do anything. She—" Before I could finish, Oriana scread at the top of her lungs.
"He used the dagger’s handle."
That was all she said, but my body shuddered.
"What?" Ms. Lenora asked her softly.
"He used it to–penetrate ." She paused, then began wailing and crying loudly.
