章 19: School Attack

A few minutes passed and the pain subsided.

" We have to find Lizzie." Said Hope

" Hey MG, come here..." luckily the boy was not far, he was with a Blonde girl, Aiónia recognized her as a student from The Mystics Fall high school, he see her in the Match.

He said to the girl to wait him and come to us.

" Do you see Lizzie ?" asked Hope.

" Yeah she go back to school after a little problem." said the boy with a grimace.

" What happen, she is injuried ?" ask Josie worried.

" Not really..." said the boy " Dana poured his drink on her..., she go back in school."

" And you, you flirt with this bitch ? " said Josie, glared at him.

" It's not what you think, don't tell Lizzie , but i dont really like Dana, it's part of a long term plan. " said MG a little shameful.

" Oh MG, you can do better..." said Aiónia.

" It's not the subject, we had to go back to school... " Say Hope

" Nah, you have to talk to Dorian, he may know what's happen to Lizzie. " Josie replied.

" He's sitting at the coffee around the corner, Let's go. " Aiónia said.

" What ? , wait what happen to Lizzie? " asked MG, folowing them , completely forgetting Dana.

They explain what happen to Josie and what they think happened to Lizzie, and arrived in a few minutes at the sign, and saw Dorian sitting at a small table with a dozen books on it, immersed in a reading.

" Dorian. " Josie called, the counselor looked up and saw the three, " My sister has a problem we need to go back to school. " said Josie hastily.

" No No No, definitely not, you stay here, your sister has been taken care of, don't make more mess than there is already." Dorian said seriously, stopping them with one hand.

" What a mess ?" Hope asked, feeling a bad feeling.

" Books on Gorgons? " Said MG looking at the books on the table and the one in Dorian's hand, they were all about the same subject.

The 4 looked into each other's eyes, knowing there was a serious problem, and Hope realized it was another monster. Dorian hesitated a bit but decided to explain the problem to them, hoping that would calm them down. For a counselor in a school, he doesn't seem to know teenagers very well.

the 4 left immediately in the direction of the school just after he finished his explanation, they arrived almost 5 minutes later, Surprisingly Josie left Hope the litter on her back to go faster, with her physique of Tribide and Vampire , and Aiónia's unique physique, they arrived quickly and was only slightly exhausted.

The 4 returned to the school to find it deserted, Hope cast a short range locator spell to find Dr. Saltzman.

" By the way. " Hope said as they walked towards the Principal's office, they found Principal Saltzman a few minutes later, he looked tense with two axes in his hand.

" What are you doing here? " Dr. Saltzman asked looking serious but also slightly relieved. he was originally a vampire hunter, not a monster hunter out of a fairy tale or a princess nightmare. 'I'm too old for this bullshit, I can't let these kids face a threat that shouldn't exist on they own. ' he thought before take his weapon.

" Josie was feeling unexplained pain, and then Dorian explained the situation to us. " Hope said, taking one of the axes from her hand.

" Yeah and I have some questions. " Josie told him looking him straight in the eye as she took the second ax from him.

" We don't have time, now that the gargoyle took what it wanted and left the priority is your sister. " Said Alaric looking serious and worried.

" The gargoyle didn't leave, Lizzie cast a containment spell. " Informa Hope

"What?, smart girl. " Alaric said proudly for a moment before realizing that meant the killer statue was still in the school, and that he was probably going to finish the job he had started to remove the spell from Lizzy.

" He's heading into the great hall. " Aiónia said suddenly, and then took off towards the great hall at high speed.

Hope , Josie and MG followed him without question, and Dr. Saltzman not knowing much about the boy was skeptical but followed anyway. They talked on the way, Dr. Salman explain that Lizzie was injured by what seems to be a gorgon and that she was turning into a statue because of a poison, The gorgon also attacked him but the spare for some reason Alaric suspected and just took the dagger. hey soon arrived at the great hall and feel magic spell behind the door.

" Emma." called Alaric.

" They're right behind, " Aiónia said, confirmed by Emma opening the glass door to the break room just behind the main room, motioning for them to come closer and be quiet, They see the Witch/Psychologue of the school 'Emma', and many kids and teenager around, they see lizzie too, lying on a table , her open T-shirt on a gray wound.

But it was too late, they heard very loud footsteps and a low howl which, with the opening of the gargoyle's wing, gave the impression that it was giving off waves of wind.
