Although Francis had said they'll get there in time, they came across many impediments in their way that made them slower and the witches that chased them was just one of the many.
Luckily, although the many impediments, none of them was an empty fuel tank. If it was, the least that will have happened is that the speed at which they moved will have been affected momentously.
It took them more than a whole day cramped in a seat and driving through the woods before they were able to get anywhere close to Golden Lake University.

The sun was already sinking into the sky and when looked at, was nothing more than an orange flashlight that filled the sky by the time Francis and Professor Ericson got to the gates of Golden Lake.
They didn't enter, though, as there was no need for that. The students they were out to save were in the woods.
Francis looked at the gate longingly as they dro
In the space of five seconds, professor Ericson's wolf had evolved had taken over.His wolf was white furred and the hair that stood out of its muscular frame were long and curly and they swayed gracefully with every touch of the breeze.Francis stood with the fake orb still in his hands as his friend's wolf ran a few metres towards the mountain, raised its head up into the air and sniffed in.After a few sniffs, it ran in the opposite direction, towards the forest and took in the scents that lingered here and there.With the help of the skunk's fart that had been sprayed on the contestants, it was easy for a wolf to spot them out.Professor Ericson's human body surfaced once again."They didn't go up to the mountains. In fact, they barely took any steps in that direction after seeing this bogus orb.""So when it broke they just decided to go back to schoo
The whole place was completely calm. And dark. And the only feeling that could be felt was that of intense fear and bodies nudging one another for comfort.Harold opened his eyes wide and looked around. Yes, everywhere was dark. He couldn't see anything at all."Hello?!" he called out but his voice echoed for a few seconds and that was it.He looked around in utter confusion when his body touched another skin.It was most likely one of his companions but as he tried raising his hands to feel whoever it was, he realized that they were tied. And so were his legs, too, then a jolt of pain coursed through his entire body and with it was the memory of all that had happened.The sides of his face were aching badly like they were burnt and each toe felt a different degree of pain. With each toe from left to right, the pain increased greatly and by the time he got to the last toe on his right leg, it was al
The car swerved through a lot of trees with the skillful driver who happened to be Francis, holding on to the steering wheel with a frown on his face fostered by unwavering focus.A fat tree with extremely thick and long branches spread out by a few metres. It was at the very last minute that the illuminating headlight of the car caught it and for the umpteenth time that night, they managed to survive a collosal accident that'll leave them stranded in the forest."So you believe they were transported to the school?" Francis asked, trying to start up a conversation. The insides of the car was being too serious. Not that it really was any of their faults."I know so," professor Ericson replied just before he swallowed a large lump of saliva that caused the skin around his neck to twitch a little. "Haven't you ever really wondered how Martha was killed? It wasn't here in the forest.""My mental health couldn't carry al
The tall woman with blonde hair who was dressed in an all white gown slowly faced Harold and the others who were nestled close to him like baby birds to their mother and her dark, intimidating and cold eyes settled on him without wavering.The very moment Harold recognised who it was, he felt a large gulp of air got caught in his throat and for the next about give seconds, his heart failed to pump blood to the other parts of his body.His mouth instinctively opened but not a word came forth. He was spellbound.Trisha who noticed his strange expression kept switching from him to the woman then back at Harold whilst casting occasional glances at Dr. Peyton Giovanni for a clue as to what was going on.Dr. Peyton, though, only had a sick smile on his face which although meant that he understood what was going on, was making no effort in explaining it to the others.The others, too: Penelope, Wilkes and
“…Why are you doing this?” Harold asked with dry throats. He had hundreds of other questions which were even far more important but the one he asked was the first to slip out of his mouth. His lips who had minds of their own jittered for some seconds after came to a perfect hush.Sarah looked at Harold and smiled, making her cheekbones half a centimetre higher than normal. Her fore teeth showed a little and glowed with the light that shone from above like they were performing on a stage. “Other than the fact that it is important for your blood to be sacrificed for the continuity of Golden Lake, ending you will be ending a weak Alpha from taking charge of the pack.” Her voice was icy cold and with each syllable, like a Lance, her voice dug into Harold's heart.Better than what he had been told, he knew what she meant. If he, Harold was killed, her own child, Harold's stepbrother, will be the one to take over when he found his mate. She wanted Harold
Francis instantly brought out his wand and whispered a spell.The very instant he did, with a great force, the sword flew out of Sarah's hand and fell a few metres from her with a noisy clang that continued for a few seconds before it was followed by a silence that was so tense, it could be sliced through with a pocket knife.Sarah looked up, from Harold's body with a look of ‘who dares come against my will?’ and her gaze landed on Francis and Professor Ericson.She smiled as she watched the both of them come out of the darkness that sheathed where they were, into the limelight like prisoners about to face a verdict. Dr. Giovanni stood beside her just like he always had, with a terrifying scowl that became even worse when he saw who they were that had disturbed their session.“With all the resistance they,” Sarah looked at the other students then back at professor Ericson and Francis, “offered, I didn't expect
Like the both of them: Francis and Dr. Peyton Giovanni, were being controlled and manipulated by the same force, the both of them ran into a series of attack on each other at the very same time.Dr. Giovanni became a vampire in less than half a second and as he swept through the dry atmosphere trying to land a surprise attack on Francis, Francis created a force field that when Dr. Giovanni ran into, it sent him sprawling to the ground.His eyes became bloodshot, a contrasting hue from Francis' which had become green. As he got back on his feet, his eyes became even more reddened. Sarah stood next to Harold's body, watching the feud go down between the two men like it was for her gratification. A live concert can't have done it better, she thought.Francis knew that he had to be very wise and calculate ever move he made till he practically had no faults.Being an hybrid, Dr. Giovanni had a better endurance than an av
While Francis was looking at Trisha's unmoving body, he felt the long, sharp fangs of Dr. Peyton Giovanni sink into his skin.Before he could fully grasp what was going on, it dug deeper into him and he felt the skin around that part swell like it will burst open due to the massive influx of blood that through there, escaped his body.His veins twitched and curled and as the tip of Dr. Giovanni's fang came in contact with the slimy veins that transported blood to the necessary parts of the body, the most momentous wave of pain he had ever experienced in his entire life coursed through his entire body.Francis' eyelids shut tight and because of the immense pressure with which they were shut, around his eyes were wrinkles that ran into each other. He bit his lips hard, too, as he tried to contain the pain. The taste of blood filled his mouth not long afterwards.When the pain subsided by a considerable amount, Dr. Pey
