Lucian's POV-
After a long drive we reached back.
Aunt Era greeted us.
"How was the study?", she questioned me.
"Chaotic!", I replied throwing my bag on the sofa.
"Lucian, can I accompany you again tomorrow?", Nikos asked excitedly.
"No thanks, I am much better now!", I shouted at him.
"But still I don't understand, Elsa is 2 years elder than you, but instead of flirting with me she is flirting with you?", Nikos questioned while stuffing biscuits in his mouth like child.
I immediately pulled the knife from the apple in front of me and threatened him.
"One more word and you will never live to see the sunrise again!"
He ran to the room.
"Who says he is elder than me, this is the reason Elsa ignored you!", I whispered.
I went to the room, it was already 1:30.
Exam tomorrow!
MORNING:
I woke up early because maybe I never slept!
My eyes and head both are hurting.
Let's not talk about what happened in home.
After reaching school, I looked around.
Everyone was murmuring, but wait they are not talking, they are revising the syllabus.
I went upstairs to my section.
"Hey!",Adrian called upon me.
"What's up?", I answered back.
"So, how was the study session?", he asked me.
"Good!", I replied.
We walked inside the room.
"Lucian!", Sophie greeted me.
"How's aunt Stepha?", I asked her.
"Lucian, I already told you...Doctors have stopped trying. Only miracle can save her.", her face dropped while she answered.
"You can shift to my home then, why live alone?", I questioned her.
"No, there are many memories attached to that house. I can't.", she replied.
"Students, on your seats! I am distributing the papers", Mr. Dalton instructed.
As I moved towards my seat.
I felt that someone was staring at me, when I looked at back, I caught Aria.
But she didn't hesitate instead kept on staring...
Strange...I have never noticed it before...
I quietly sat on my seat.
After 3 hours, the paper was finally over.
Everyone got up from the seats and moved out.
I heard whispers every where.
Some discussing the answers, some chatting and talking.
I moved outside and suddenly a gunshot came flying towards me and hit me at my right hand below elbow.
"AHHH! FUCK, WHO THE HELL!", I shouted in pain.
It was hard to control, the whole crowd came out running.
Selena immediately called the ambulance.
"Are you okay?", Damon enquired.
"DO I LOOK OKAY!", I shouted, the pain kept on increasing.
Whoever shot that, is very trained professional. It's hard to aim on a moving object.
And here the shooter directly shot at my hand while I was moving out continuously shaking it.
I heard the ambulance arriving, but the pain was too sharp and growing with each second.
"Move, move... give some space!", I heard someone.
Slowly my vision went blur.
It seemed as if I could only hears voices and see blur view.
"Move! Damon! Adrian! Go with him...", a girl shouted.
I could not make out by voice, who is she?
I tried hard...but slowly slowly...I fainted!
IN THE HOSPITAL-
Beeeeeep...Beeeeeeeep...
The sound of machines was louder than whispers, the smell of sanitizer and faint noises of doctors and nurses.
I opened my eyes slowly...
"Hey! How are you?"...
I tried to clear my vision.
"Adrian...", I whispered.
"Hey bro, are you okay?", he enquired me from top to bottom.
"Yeah, better.", I replied.
"So, what's going on with your life?", he raised an eyebrow.
"Nothing just messed up.", I tried to show no interest in this topic.
"Nahh! It's more than just messed up", he sat down near a chair.
"Look Adrian, I can handle everything properly. No need to put you leg in my matter. I am okay, just some old enemies.", I spoke firmly.
"Look I know you always think that you are good enough but let me tell you something..."
BANG!
A loud voice cut his words.
"WHO?", Adrian shouted.
"Hey, calm down", I pulled him.
"He is doctor", I whispered.
"Sir, he is better now. You can take him home.", The doctor instructed Adrian.
"Thank you doctor.", I whispered.
"I'll ask Nikos to take you home.", Adrian patted on my shoulders.
"Fine, go ahead.", I pushed him.
Why does he think I am weak! In fact I can handle everything properly!
But for now let's focus on one important question:
WHO ATTACKED ME? AND WHY?
