I Killed An Academy Player Novels & Stories

The rage in the room matches Eldora’s; it thickens, hot and dangerous. “I will kill him.” Elio says it like a promise and a verdict. I don’t need to question if he means it. - The next day, the Academy declares a break to investigate the occurrences of that night. Luckily for the trained staff and students, the casualties were no more than fifteen. However, also unfortunately, it was up to that amount. Promising students and staff lost their lives causing an uproar in parents and authorities who are calling out the Academy for its negligence towards the first threat at the Alpha games.

"Didn't think to look for betrayal from within. Didn't think someone would choose revenge over redemption." Through the window, I saw smoke rising from various parts of the academy. Saw students fighting the trapped Old Court soldiers. Saw the damage from the brief invasion. And through the bloodline, I felt them. The three vampires I'd killed. Their absence like holes in a tapestry. Their families feeling the loss through the connection. "We need to secure the academy," I said. My voice was mechanical. "Clear out the remaining invaders. Tend to the wounded. Figure out what information Thorne gave the Old Court and how to counter it."

"You see what you are to every single student in this academy? You’re a discard able play thing. A piece of meat they want to break for fun. You won’t last a day, not to talk of a semester without protection. Do you understand that?" I immediately nodded because my throat was too tight for words. But he was right. I had been foolish and naïve to think that I could ever survive this hell hole by staying invisible. If nothing changed my circumstance… then I would die here. That fact was for sure. Hot tears of fear stung my eyes but I forcefully held them back.

"Snap out of it! Those kids killed four players yesterday!" "It must have been self-defense. The players were the ones who tried to kill them the moment they saw them." The next ward was occupied by someone named Camille Barrow. This must be the Camille the child was talking about just now. I had a feeling she knew the hospital’s secrets.

I didn't even bother to knock, I just pushed the door open only to stop in my tracks when I took the first step in. “Yes, Alpha Killian, we’ve increased security across the academy,” he said over the phone “No casualties among the students but we lost some guards. Elias also managed one of the attackers who is currently being questioned.” I stayed by the door and listened quietly. “I understand. We’ll contain the situation until we know more.” There was a brief pause before he nodded. “I'll keep you posted.” The call ended and he exhaled slowly before looking up and noticing me. “Elias,” he said, gesturing for me to come in. “I was just speaking with your father.”

Zoe added. Yeah, she was right? But if no vampire could come into the Academy, they could use someone's body and soul. Oh no, if I was right, it only meant that they had used Alex's body and soul. I silently hoped I wasn't right, I wasn't ready to go through all that trauma again. I didn't want to feel left out so I had to contribute something. "Who was killed?" "One of the security guards, he was such a nice man that could never hurt a fly. Who could have done that?"

He threw her face back and threw the gun away on the floor, “ You know….you aren't scared of guns. Why don't we play a game of choice? Do you understand? “ Natalie didn't flinch and remained shut. “ ok…Today we're going to play a game of choice. Who's going to live, Natalie, Bethany or the kids?“ “ You wouldn't dare! “ His grin widened “ Natalie….I killed my brother…why would I hesitate to kill someone who I don't even know! “

The moment I stepped outside, I couldn’t catch my breath. Lunaris Academy. The stories alone were enough to make grown men shiver. And I already knew some… every boy in the region did. They said the Academy trained only the most ruthless. The instructors beat you until bone met ground. The wolves there didn’t fight for sport; they fought like they wanted to tear each other apart. The final trials were rumored to kill at least one student every year. And my father… wanted to send me there. I kept walking. I didn’t even know where I was going. My feet just carried me to the quiet part of the pack grounds, near the training meadow where I usually met with my two closest friends… Talia and Rhea.

That spot belongs to me. How do I explain this? Should I tell her the truth? Would she be weirded out? She’s from the orphanage system—nothing to her name, no family. That’s how the Academy traps girls like her. They have nothing, and we offer them a life. A luxurious life, one they can't ever refuse. And they take it, because the alternative is starvation. Or worse. "Uhm," I mumble when she turns to look at me. "What?" She asks with a frown.

My mind can't allow me to vocalize what happened. I killed Medly. I killed Ace's grandmother. I am a killer. "Shhh, it's okay. My daughter? Don't worry about everything, shall we?" He said and hugged me. "D-dad. I killed Medly." I cried into his suit while gripping into it. "Hush now, baby." He tried comforting me. "But dad, is Ace going to be angry to me? I-I killed his grandma." I unsurely and struggled to say it directly.
