Piper woke with a startle, her head pressed against the rough edge of a textbook. The library was dark now, quiet except for the hum of the air conditioning and the soft creak of the chairs shifting behind empty tables. She blinked against the overhead lights, trying to shake off the sleep in her eyes. Her phone vibrated against the wooden table, her mother's name flashing on the screen. Panic shot through her chest. She hadn’t told her she’d be late, because she didn't even realise how long she’d stayed. Her stomach twisted as guilt and fear tangled into a knot she couldn’t loosen. “Mom,” she said. Sage answered and asked where she was and when she'd get home. Piper answered, and after a few minutes, the call ended. She stood up, stretched and snatched her bag off the table, and bolted toward the exit, thankGod they didn't lock her in, she thought. The books on the table shook lightly as she moved, the sound echoing too loudly in the empty room. Outside, the night was cool, sha

The hallway buzzed with whispers that had nothing to do with Piper, and that was exactly how Cecil liked it.“Someone got arrested near the south gate last night,” a girl murmured as Cecil passed.“No, my cousin works security, patrols are doubled everywhere,” another replied.“I heard there was a break-in at the admin building. They’re hiding it.”“My roommate said the police were searching dorms this morning, like actual police.”“They’re not telling us the real reason.”Fear clung to the air, thin and electric. Students walked faster, shoulders tense, voices low. No one laughed too loudly anymore. No one lingered alone near stairwells.Cecil moved through them unnoticed.Her pace and her expression never changed. Cecil listened when she heard Piper's name called behind her.“…she’s still coming to class after everything? That’s insane.”Cecil didn’t turn. Piper was background noise now a moving target in a field of distractions. The real focus was timing.She adjusted her sleeve s

The first attacker crossed the room fast, confident, trained, expecting surprise to carry the moment.It didn’t.Archie moved first.His strike wasn’t wild or theatrical. It was controlled a precise step forward, a clean disarm that sent a blade skidding across the mat. The attacker stumbled back, clearly unprepared for resistance this organised.Piper followed instinct. Block. Step. Counter. Her body reacted before her thoughts caught up, exhaustion pushed aside by adrenaline. The rhythm of the drills echoed through her movements, the quiet repetitions from earlier suddenly worth everything.Another figure rushed in from the left.She pivoted, barely catching the incoming strike. The force rattled through her arms, but she held steady. Archie shifted beside her instantly, intercepting the next blow aimed at her shoulder.“Left side,” he warned calmly.“I see it,” she said, breath tight but controlled.Behind them, Ember hovered near the equipment rack with her baton raised like she w

Her mother’s eyes were piercing, and impossible to ignore. “This shouldn’t be here,” she said, voice trembling, breaking slightly at the edges. “Piper, do you understand what this means?”Piper swallowed hard, words catching in her throat. “I thought it was safe,” she whispered, almost inaudibly.“Safe?” her mother repeated, stepping closer. Tears glimmered in her eyes, streaking down her cheeks. “Nothing about this is safe. Not for you. Not for anyone. How did you even,” She broke off, voice cracking. “How could you have this?”Piper’s stomach twisted. Every muscle in her body tensed. Deep down, she knew her mother had already suspected what Piper had suspected herself, the bane had killed her father.Her mother’s hands tightened around the vial, knuckles whitening. “After everything, after your father,” Her voice reduced. She swallowed, blinking rapidly. “Why is this here, Piper?”Piper’s pulse hammered in her ears. She opened her mouth to explain, but no words felt right. How could

Kris didn’t wait for confirmation.The moment the knock came again, the colour drained from his face. His shoulders slumped, eyes snapping toward the door like prey sensing a hunter.“They said they just want to ask questions,” he whispered harshly. “That’s how it starts.”Another knock.Piper didn’t think, she just moved.Her hand shot out, grabbing Kris’s wrist before the knob even turned.“Upstairs,” she hissed.His eyes flashed with fear, anger, and calculation, all fighting for control. For a second she thought he’d argue, pride kicking in like always.Another knock slam“Go upstairs now.”His pride flickered, a reflex, but it died quickly under the weight of fear sitting heavy in his chest. He moved fast, footsteps quiet but rushed as she dragged him toward the staircase.“Second room,” she said. “Stay low and don’t touch anything,” Piper added, emphasising it.He paused halfway up, breathing unevenly, eyes sharp with panic he was trying and failing badly at hiding.“If they fin
