...his glasses flew off together with one of his front tooth.
Starstruck is an understatement for the looks that appeared on the faces of the onlookers.
The students are obviously more than shocked as Chadwick's blood hit the ground in droplets.
Not only did he lose a teeth, but his upper lip also bursted.
Emory couldn't believe her eyes, and when she looked up to meet the devilish look in Levi's eyes, her shock penetrated deeper.
North couldn't close her mouth, and the students holding cameras were even too shocked to record.
Hyce smiled while Conrad is trying so hard not to murder Chadwick, then Levi looked over at Emory.
She gasped inwardly when their eyes met again, then he turned and began leaving wordlessly.
Chadwick stubbornly looked up, his mouth red with blood.
"You shouldn't have done that, Banks" he said.
Levi stopped and turned to meet his face.
"You only just signed her death warrant. I'll almost kill her if I don't kill her completely. The worse you can do is fight me man-to-man. You can't kill, can you?" Chadwick said with a dark chuckle.
"Why do I feel you're the one who signed your death warrant?" Levi replied, and Chadwick gritted his jaws, hard.
Levi finally left the hallway, and Chadwick left through the other way. North followed him.
Immediately the three left, the frozen air came down, and chatters broke.
* That was intense.
* Cos of a girl?
* Who's the girl?
* I swear I got the chills!
"I got the chills too, babes" Nina held her chest as she faced her friends.
"That was a lot. Why do I feel like the campus is about to change with this sudden adoption? Why would a father adopt his son's enemy?" Lizzy said.
"Is he really his father? I'm starting to doubt that" Emory added, shaking her head and finally smoothing her hair.
"Who's the girl Chadwick talked about? I'm so curious" Rebekah said.
"We'll just have to wait and see, I guess" Nina shrugged, wiping the blood on Emory's lips.
The girls resumed their walk to class, and Omar appeared behind them.
He was smiling sheepishly as he stared at Emory's backside, and he didn't blink till she finally entered the class.
He got a text from North and immediately made his way to The Titans meeting spot in the campus..
It's a gazebo not far from their department, and he met everyone in attendance.
North is with Chadwick in the middle, cleaning his mouth.
There are too many bloody tissues on the ground already, all used on him.
She finished up and hooked small moulded tissue into the gap in his teeth...
"You should get artificial teeth before the end of today" she told him.
"I fuçking know" he glared, and she stood.
"My mission is to torment Emory, and y'all make sure this never gets out. We start tonight" he said.
Omar had to cover his mouth to stop himself from laughing cos of Chadwick's teeth, but Chadwick noticed him anyways.
"Did you just...laugh?" Chadwick stood lividly.
"Me? No I...
He was pushed out before he knew it, and immediately he landed flat in front of Chadwick, Chadwick placed his boot on his head, pressing it to the cobblestone flooring of the gazebo.
"Argh!!!" Omar groaned, his blood painting the stone as his head began bleeding.
Chadwick pressed it harder, and he began crying, seeing his own blood
"We start tonight" Chadwick said again.
"But I'm curious about something" a member asked.
"What?" North faced her.
"Who are the other frat club, The Vikings? People only think we're more powerful cos they know our strength, but no one knows how far those bastards can go. We don't even know any of their members and we don't know their leader, we don't know their mansion too. All we know is that they exist in this same campus with us and they're our rivals. It's not making any damn sense" The member complained.
North walked slowly to get, and the lady shifted back.
"So far they're not crossing their lanes, we have no damn reason to talk about them, capisce?" North said.
"I understand" the lady nodded.
*
LECTURE HALL, 10AM*
The second one is starting any moment from now, handled by the same lecturer who's handling the pool classes.
Immediately she came in, North started laughing, reminiscing about how she had pushed her in the pool.
The class was silent, just the sound of her witchy laughter.
Omar nudged her to stop, but she shot him a glare which made him recoil back into his seat.
For ten minutes straight, North didn't stop, and when she finally stopped, the class started.
"I hate her" Rain mumbled.
"No one likes North" Isaac replied beside her.
"Thank gawd this is my last year in this school with this bîtch" Emory muttered, getting her pen.
"I badly wanna throw her tomatoes" Nina added.
"Calm down, babes" Rebekah chuckled.
Lizzy made to get her pen too, but it fell from her, and it rolled all the way to North's seat.
North picked it up and stood.
She walked back to Lizzy's seat and dropped it on her desk, then she crouched down to her ear.
"Tell me, how do you eat with the same mouth you foam with? Doesn't it irritate you? If I were you, trust me I'd have murdered myself " she whispered, and Lizzy folded her palm on her pen.
Emory stood and came over, pushing North away from her.
"Oh! Their school mother is here..." North laughed as she staggered.
"Leave, or I'll rip out your tongue" Emory glared.
"As if you can" North scoffed, finally going back to her desk.
Emory turned to go back to her seat, and her eyes met Levi's.
Darn, why is their eyes meeting almost every minute?
He's smiling that cruel smile again, and she smirked at him before taking her seat.
"She's a protector, I like her" Hyce smiled.
"And i'm still wondering why Master X told you to keep an eye on her. I mean... you've been watching her and reporting for three damn years" Conrad said.
"No damn" Levi replied curtly.
"What fuçking ever, now that he adopted Chadwick and gave him the opposite mission, I'll just wait for the shit show, but are you sure your father didn't work in hell before?" Hyce said, and Conrad chuckled.
The class finally started fully, but ten minutes into it, Emory got a text.
She took her phone when she saw it buzz, and immediately she opened and saw the text, she sighed.
It's from who you're thinking.
Criminal: Protection fits you, fox.
She placed the phone under the table before typing...
Emory: We're in class, and I wanna make it to first class. I have no reply to give you.
Criminal: But you replied.
Emory sighed.
Emory: What do you want this time, Levi?
Her eyes widened after she sent that, and she quickly typed another one.
Emory: I mean... Banks.
Criminal: Keep it up, you can be cute when you get on my nerves.
Emory rolled eyes, then she looked back to see him typing openly.
He's not even trying to hide his phone like her.
"He's insane" she muttered before typing a reply.
Emory: Yunno what? I'm blocking you.
Criminal: Do that
She tried to press the block option on him, but it didn't click, and she tightened her hand on the phone.
Emory: What did you do?
Criminal: I'll send you the location at 7, be there.
Emory: Where?
"Miss Carson?" The lecturer's voice made her look up.
The woman is right beside her.
"Looks like you have a lot to solve on your phone" she said.
"I'm sorry" she quickly apologized, tucking the phone away.
The woman moved on, and Nina poked her.
"Who were you texting?" She asked.
"No one" Emory smiled awkwardly.
Omar has been watching her since the start of the class, and when he finally made to look away, his eyes met with Rain who was also staring at Emory.
Their eyes locked for a while before they focused on the class agaiñ.
* * *
At exactly 2pm, they had their first break, and everyone broke out to the cafeteria.
"I'm so exhausted, can't we just skip the remaining one class and go home?" Nina complained as the girls sat on their usual table.
They picked the cafe menu and ordered their cravings then waited for it to come.
"Who were you texting in class earlier?" Nina asked.
"Can you stop poking your nose around?" Emory groaned.
"Nuh-uh...till I die" Nina replied, and Lizzy laughed.
"It's still baffling that none of us is in a relationship" Rebekah said.
"Cross Emory out of that list, she'd become a nun" Nina replied.
"Me too, who'd wanna date a girl who foams from the mouth?" Lizzy replied, pinching herself underneath.
"Wifey, you're beautiful and that's on period" Rebekah said, and Lizzy chuckled.
"Hey girls!" Isaac's voice broke into their conversation as he joined them, holding Rain's hand.
"I said it's fine! Isaac!" Rain said through tightened teeth, trying to take her hand from him.
"No it's not" Isaac replied.
"Hey what's up?" Nina smiled.
"Can we eat lunch with y'all today?" Isaac replied.
"Of course" Lizzy nodded.
Isaac quickly got two extra chairs, and he settled down with Rain who's looking awkward.
"This is new, you both don't socialize, what changed?" Rebekah asked.
"We wanted a change" Isaac said
"Just you" Rain muttered, drinking some water.
Emory smiled, liking her spirit immediately.
Their orders arrived, and everyone began stuffing their faces with meals.
"Heard our department is going for an all nighter trip on Saturday" Isaac said.
"Yeah, the yearly thingy, and i can't wait" Nina replied cheerfully.
Emory is still eating her apple when she felt eyes on herself, so she looked up to find Rain staring.
Rain smiled shortly, and she returned the smile.
*
GRAND CASINO, 5PM*
Levi's motorbike drove roughly into the property, the exhaust mixing with his natural scent in the air.
Even after he parked and came out of the car, his helmet remained intact on his head.
He used the iron door and stepped on the stairs which led to the underground chamber.
It's starting to get heated as the gamblers are already gathering, and he had to remove his helmet cos of heat.
His aura is unmistakable.
Immediately the gamblers saw his face and recognized him as the son, they stopped their chats, and quietness happened.
Some even bowed their heads, unable to look him in the eye till he left the outer room.
He entered Master X's office and met him talking with Hazzan.
Hazzan had to leave immediately, and the man looked up.
"Seeing you here again is apparently because you heard about the change in plans. How do you feel having Chadwick as your sudden brother, and how do you feel having him on the throat of that girl" he said emotionlessly.
"You must have forgotten the part where I said I'm done protecting or watching her for you" Levi replied, his brows dipping.
"Will you really be able to do that?" Master X stood, grabbed his walking stick before walking to him slowly.
Levi never moved an inch till he arrived and stood facing him.
"You've been watching her for three years. You've been her shadow even without her own knowledge, tell me how you'd be able to watch her get hurt" he said and laughed.
"I watched myself get hurt a lotta times, and I liked it. She's not my priority, and I fuçking mean it" Levi replied.
The man smiled with his eyes as Levi walked out of the office.
*
7PM, CARSON'S MANSON*
Emory had quite a large lunch at school, so she had to skip dinner.
She's in her room, standing by her window and staring at her phone screen.
Levi finally sent the location, but she's starting to wonder if the guy is ok in the head.
It's like thirty minutes drive from this place, and she's not going anywhere... or so she thought.
The chilled breeze of the cold September night was brushing her face as she texted him back.
Emory: There's no way I'm coming. I get that I owe you a favor, but isn't this too much?
She sent that and was about to close her window when her eyes caught dark figures not far from it.
She might not be seeing them well cos of the darkness, but she figured out they're six, and they're wearing black, all of them.
Her heart nearly got hooked in her throat as she stretched her hand to the wall beside her.
She turned on the light beside her window, and immediately she saw them clearly, her heart flew and sweat broke in her cleavage.
They're wearing black and white masks, hiding their faces as they all made her window their target.
The Titans!
She quickly shifted back and went to her vanity table to get a long hairpin.
She went back to the window, but they're gone.
Her eyes widened.
What were they doing? How did they even enter the compound?
What are they planning?
She got her phone, and the first thing she saw was Levi's reply.
Criminal: I'll come get you from your house myself, I don't fuçking bluff.
Maybe she should go after all.
She unconsciously kept the hairpin in her jacket pocket and got her car key before rushing out of the room.
She ran past her parents out of the house, jumped in her car and drove out of the mansion.
Why is this happening tonight of all nights?
The girls group chat is so lively, and all the girls are online except her.
Her fate must be cruel.
Thanks to the fact that she has enough gas, she got to the location faster than expected.
It's a Loft in the middle of a dark silent street, surrounded with pine trees completely.
She rushed to the door and made to push it open, but it opened by itself, and she rushed in.
The loft is dark, and she almost fell.
She had to hold the wall.
"Levi?" She called out.
"Fûck... Banks!" She corrected, and the lights came on almost immediately.
Levi is standing beside a table at the center of the big room, and his head is down, he's arranging a revolver gun.
"I think The Titans came to my place" she said
"Aren't you here for the favor?" He faced her, the deepness of his voice hitting her.
"What do you want?" She replied.
"Russian roulette" he said.
"You want me to play Russian roulette with you? Are you crazy?" She scoffed.
"You can't? We can wrap up the hide and seek game with it, plus the favor " he replied, looking her up and down.
"But...you...
He already threw her the gun before she could talk further, and she held her breath as the cold metal landed in her right hand.
She threw it back almost immediately, and it landed on the ground.
"Stop! It's not funny" she paled out.
"Chose a safe word to say when you want me to stop" he said coldly, picking up the gun.
Ok, he's fuçking serious.
"Red" she replied after a second thought, and he threw the gun back.
This time, she caught it, trying hard not to shake.
The Loft lights began flickering.
Darn, this is starting to look like the begging of a friggin horror movie.
"There are four empty cylinders and two loaded ones. Slide your pointer finger under the trigger and support it with your second hand. You might wanna hold your breath before pulling the trigger" he instructed.
She immediately positioned her finger, holding her breath as he stood in front of the gun like a devil.
Is he so eager to die?
What's really going on in his head???
Her throat was shaking as she slid her hand under the trigger, and like he advised, she held her breath.
Good gawd...
She pulled the trigger, and luckily, the gun sounded emptily.
No bullet in that cylinder.
She released her breaths and gulped as he came closer to take the gun from her.
It's his turn, and she nearly began peeing herself.
What if there's a bullet in the next cylinder?
What if she dies?
Is he gonna bury her without anyone's knowledge.
Various thoughts filled her head as he took three calculated steps back and pointed the gun at her.
He looks like carnage itself, like a destruction waiting to happen.
He looks like death.
She imagined a bullet coming out of the gun barrel into her head, and her panick increased.
No...
She can't...
She needs to say the safe word, but she can't even remember.
What was it again?
"Blue!" She quickly said, but it's incorrect.
"Pink!" She shouted, but he still kept pointing the gun.
"Yellow!!" She said loudly, but that was interrupted by a gunshot.
He shot the gun.
Bullet flew out this time, and she lost all her breaths when it whizzed past her, going into the metal wall behind her.
She staggered, the shock nearly making her faint.
She could feel her heart freezing.
All blood drained from her body, and she looked up with shaky lips and limbs, his eyes meeting Levi's dark ones.
Impossible anger surged through her, and she was unaware of when she got the hairpin from her pocket.
She began taking wide steps to him, and the flickering lights got worse at each step she took.
Levi stood his ground till the angry fox got to him, and without waiting any damn second, she sank the sharp pin into his solid chest.
His blood sprinkled on her face, and his black shirt got soaked with redness, even her hand got stained.
She looked up ruthlessly, still holding the pin to his chest as their eyes met, again.
"I'm not your toy. For the rest of your life, don't you ever try this again, or I'll kill you" she muttered.
He stayed silent for a minute, staring back at the fire burning viciously in her eyes, then his next words came.
Kill me baby.
TBC.
