Under The Covers

At lunch Emma was feeling excited about getting to know the new girl, though Kevan didn't sound so pleasant about Clarice. When Emma got to the cafeteria, her friends were already seated at their usual table. "She finally rolls in." Lizzie said. "And no, Clarice haven't been here yet." Emma looked at the table and looked up to her friends, looking surprised, realising that her food was on her table. "I got it for you." Caroline said, smiling. Emma sat down and ate her food.

Kevan scoffed. "What kind of friend ditches her friends to do something else?" Now it's confirmed that Kevan hates Clarice. He's been complaining about her. "You're cranky today, what happened?" Lizzie asked. Kevan just gave her a dirty look. "Wow. Okay. I'm out, I don't want to be involved afterwards." Lizzie just left, she probably went to the library because she loves the library and she's a genius. The books helped. " Maybe she's being held back." Caroline said. "There's no way a student will be held back that long." Kevan pointed out. "Makes sense."

Footsteps were heard behind Emma. When she turned around, she saw Clarice, walking towards Emma. "Sorry I'm late. I had something going on just now." Clarice apologised. "Oh it's ok-" Kevan cut Emma off. "Busy with what?" He said harshly. "Hey! Chill, Kevan. It's only her first day." Emma said quickly, then turned back to Clarice. "Here, sit down." Emma offered. She sat next to Emma. "So, what do you like to do? Or what's your favourite hobby?" Clarice replied Emma's question but without looking at her. Because Clarice was quite close to Emma, she smelled blood when she spoke. Emma was curious, and asked, " Hey, what did you eat just now?" "Nothing. I ate nothing." Clarice continued to speak. Emma started examining her. She looked at the black dress Clarice was wearing. She saw a reddish liquid on her lap. Is that blood? Emma's eyes widened. "Emma, Emma." Caroline called. "Y-yeah?" Emma snapped out of her thought. "What are you looking at?" Kevan asked curiously. "Oh it's nothing, really." Caroline, Kevan and Clarice continued chit-chatting. Emma couldn't stop worrying. She kept on breathing heavily, the blood still could be smelled, and her worrying thoughts hit her again and again. Is she a killer? She murdered somebody? Who's responsible for this? "RINGGGG!" Emma "woke up". When she left with Kevan and Caroline, Caroline asked, " You're acting weird. Is something wrong?" Even Kevan looked worried. "I don't know. Pinch me, I'm dreaming." Caroline pinched her, and it hurt. "Great! I'm not dreaming. wow!" Emma sounded more worried and serious. "Is it about Clarice?" Kevan guessed, and was sure to be right. " Her breath smelled like blood, and the thing I was staring at, was a drop of blood on her lap." Kevan's eyes widened, Caroline looked surprised. "So I am right." Emma and Kevan turned to Caroline. "Right about what?" Kevan was just confused. " I could sense something wrong ever since Clarice arrived in our class. Something's fishy about her." "You're a psychic. Lizzie's right about you? You didn't tell me?!" Emma sounded mad. "We're not too sure yet. My relatives are psychics. They're the Bennet Witches." Caroline was in deep in thought. "But if your family are psychics, doesn't that make you one too?" Kevan was more that confused than before.

"Caroline, the Bennet Witch. Known as the strongest

witch on the earth!" An echo was heard from behind them. The three of them turned around at the same time, all shocked. The face could not be seen as it was too dark. Blood was dripping from her hands made a puddle of it. She ran away faster than how they imagined her running. Caroline groaned and chased after her and managed to take her down. Emma and Kevan rushed to Caroline. The girl was struggling, trying to break free of Caroline's grip. Caroline shouted, " TAKE OFF HER MASK!" Emma did as what she was told to do so. When the mask was ripped out, a bloody smile was plastered on to the girl's face.
