Detention

Everyone stared at me, even Professor Jones. "Ms. Winter, what is this?", he asked me."He tried to harass me!", I replied boiling with rage. Professor Jones glared at Loan."Mr. Huxley this kind of behavior is not appropriate at school! Did your parents not teach you how to respect women?", the Professor yelled at him. He lowered his eyes in embarrassment when he noticed the entire class staring at him."As for you Ms.Winter", he said turning towards me."I know you did it for protection but it was inappropriate of you to push him so hard.",he continued in a gentle voice."Detention for both of you after school.", he concluded.

I sat back down without arguing because I knew what I did was wrong but I would erupt if I argued with anyone. I was raging mad. I put my head down hoping to avoid attention for the rest of the lesson but looks like today God was not on my side."Ms.Winter, can you tell us more about the Goddess Ka-Ata-Killa?", he asked me. I rubbed my eyes and answered with an emotionless voice,"Ka-Ata-Killa, according to the pre-Inca mythology, was the moon Goddess, who resided on the banks of Lake Titicaca. She is a very possessive woman and hates rejection.Lengend has it that she captured the man that she initially fell in love with because he refused to accept her love. She forced the man to answer her question if he loves her. To check if he was lying or not, she created a mirror of truth. The mirror shows the truth despite what the person's real answer is.The man gave up telling the truth and always told Ka-Ata-Killa that he loved her but the mirror showed her the truth. The man drove crazy due to this and committed suicide.Whan Ka-Ata-Killa found out, she intended to wipe out all of mankind blinded by the rage."

Professor Jones stared at me."Ahem, that's right. Thank you, Ms. Winter", he continued explaining about the legend. I put my head down again. As soon as class ended, I lifted my head from the table only to notice all my friends, except Aiden, staring at me.

"How do you know so much about the Goddess Katikilla?", Drogo asked with wide eyes."It's Ka-Ata-Killa not Katikilla", I told him while stuffing my books in my bag."Yeah, whatever.", Terry continued looking at me with stars in his eyes."I came across a few old books which had information on pre-Inca mythology. I found them fascinating and ended up reading the entire book.", I said as we walked past Professor Jones, who called out to me.

"Ms. Winter, Mr. Huxley please come to my office at 4.00 after school for your Detention.", he reminded us. I rolled my eyes at Loan who bit his lips. I glared at him, but his eyes were absolutely terrified. I was about to ask my brother something when he grabbed my hand and pulled me outside."Where are you guys going?", Sarah and Terry asked in unison."For fresh air!", Peter said and running after us.

My brother dragged me to the back of the University, while Drogo and Peter followed questioningly. My brother suddenly stopped and turned around. "You have to calm down, Sis. It was smart of you to put your head down in class but now it is noticeable.", he told me. I could not understand what he was saying at first until he pointed towards his eyes."Oh! Are my eyes red?", I asked worried. He nodded. Peter and Drogo just stared at me in shock. I tried to calm down but everytime I tried, I remembered Loan's perverted gaze.

My brother noticed this, pulled out our bluetooth earplugs and handed them to me. I put them on only to listen 'Outro: Wings' by BTS playing on them. I relaxed instantly and started singing according to the lyrics. I listened for few minutes when my eyes turned to my normal golden color, my brother turned off the music and took back the earplugs. We went to library to study until Aiden poked me and pointed at the clock. I quickly packed my stuff, pecked Aiden on his cheek while telling him not to wait for me and rushed towards Professor Jones's office.

I knocked on the door and entered when I heard a soft 'come in'. I entered the office and admired the interior. It was not like a normal office. It seemed to have all his excavations and sovereign from his expeditions. It was unique. Professor Jones cleared his throat which brought me back to my senses.

"Your office is really posh, Professor.", I said looking around. "Thank you, Ms.Winter.", he said and smiled."You have to write a 600 word report on what I taught today.", he continued. I nodded and started writing. Lucky for me I had already learnt the book off by heart so I could write the report with ease.

Half an hour later, just as I handed my report to the Professor, the door swung open and Loan walked in. He looked at me and winked. I shivered in disgust. Professor Jones saw the wink and glared at Loan." Mr. Huxley have you seen the time? You were supposed to come here half an hour ago!", the Professor stormed at him. "You are free to go, Ms.Winter.", the Professor said looking at me, smiling. " Have a Good Evening, Professor Jones!", I greeted him and left the room. I heaed towards the locker and stuffed my books inside.

"On the scale of one to ten, how bad was it?", a voice asked from behind me. I turned around to come face to face with Drogo. "What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you guys not to wait for me?", I asked looking around quizzically. Drogo noticed this and told me, "Aiden and Peter are in the library". After a short silence he pointed out, "You didn't answer my question". "It was alright. I just had to write a 600 word report on today's class.", I answered him while walking towards the Library with Drogo on my heels. As I entered the library, I saw Peter and my twin studying on the table in the left lane. Aiden looked up from his book as he sensed my scent in the library. I walked up to them and sat down beside him as he kissed my cheek.

"How did it go?", he asked me. "Wasn't that bad. Mostly because Loan showed up just as I was leaving and Jones was so mad at him!", I replied looking at what my brother and Peter were writing."I just wrote this in Jones's office and gave it to him.", I said while circling his mistakes and writing an alternate answer for it. He looked at his notes and slapped his hand on his head." I can't belive it was that simple!", Aiden whined looking at his sheet. I helped Peter and Drogo with their work. Mostly Drogo. Because of his habit of skipping classes, he was quite lost in his assignments. We stayed up at the library a little more then packed our stuff and started heading towards the Manor.

Lorie jumped in my arms as we got through the front door. "Let's play!", Lorie said. I nodded and headed towards my room to keep my bag down. But as soon as I passed the basement door, I remembered the weird encounter with Nicolae. I stared at the door, then continued towards my room.

God knows what is behind that door. But I have plenty of time to find out.
