Things couldn't have went worse. Not even Maximus and I stand neck to neck for the best magic sorcerer in our entire class...Or so I thought.
Situation hits rock bottom with students gone missing every weekend. One, weekend you wave goodbye to your classmates, and the next Monday, unexpected student's belonging is found with covered in blood on their desk but you never find them.
It's always something that's known for being very precious to them, something which couldn't be replaced.
Taking an initiative, holding a cease fire, Maximus and I decide to create a group on whatsapp, adding all of our classmates.
The plan was simple.
As soon as our last class for the week gets over, we all keep sending updates of our whereabouts, no matter how short the distance we travel is and this will continue until we meet in our next classes.
Things go according to our plan until just few hours before our first class of the week, one of them exits the chat. For some unknown reason, me adding them back doesn't work at all.
Neither do they see the invite link that I send them. Just as I'm about to add the girl again, Maximus appears infront of me out of the blue with a scowl on his face. Typical maximus.
"I can't add her. Nor can I reach her. Text, calls, emails, none work."
I open my mouth to ask him what what was her last update in the group when a gut wrenching scream fills the corridor and that's when my heart drops in my stomach and I resist the urge to reach out and cover my ears.
I know, I know just what is waiting for us next.
