Sous ran into the room to check on Jacon who was still hiding. "Wait a minute, how was Tany able to buy blood for Makala if Tany isn't 18?"
He looked up at Sous. She stood behind him befuddled and when he looked toward the door, krampus claw was placing its self on the door frame. Out of the entire time to ask such a question, ahe asks it then.
Jacob looked at her blades and saw some of them were broken. He sighed. "Makala is a known customer who's parents have an account with Harley since she's a student. Many of the vampire students have it since yeah, obviously, they're not 18. That's what Tany had said." Jacob looked at the krampus coming toward them and then back at Sous who just stood there. More sweat appeared about him, unsure of what Sous was going to do.
Headmaster Fanu awoke from his sleep and placed his robe on. The magic around campus didn't feel right. This had been the situation for the past several days especially with two deaths. He had been sent numerous letters and notes from parents inquiring what was taking place on campus and if they're children were safe. It also didn't help that journalist from the news company Good Morning Fornik kept pestering the campus trying to get a story. There were even journalist from Vania and the Witching Salons also trying to get their hands on a story.
After the two deaths, Fanu had requested for the hunters to remain on campus, especially when it was determined the murder was caused by a summon entity. The request was denied, stating they were unsure who was doing the summoning and it was sporadic when it took place.
Headmaster Fanu shook his head, just thinking back to the conversation. There was a school and kids on campus. A child was killed as well as a nurse and yet, that was the excuse he was given.
He slipped on his slippers and and walked down the staircase that led to a locked door. When unlocked, it open into his office and from the point of view from his office, it looked like another suitcase.
Because it was so late in the evening, in fact, it was the next day, even the hall monitors had gone to bed. When stepped out into the hallway, he looked both ways before heading toward the second infirmary where the student Jacob was said to be.
Sous slid under the krampus upon it striking her toward the stomach. She popped back up and attempted to stab the krampus in the neck but missed and stabbed it in the eye. Krampus attempted to pull the blade out and as he struggled, Sous took the other blades on her other arm and slashed at his neck. Causing his head to come off once more. She used her foot to take the head off her blade and she jumped back, already knowing what was going to happen.
"Tsk, what is going on with them?" She asked referring to her friends. She confirmed her suspension. They were interjected.
Headmaster Fanu ran toward Sous and saw the particles forming a new hear for krampus. He took his hand and from four portals, four chains came and took krampus, wrapping around his body. Krampus fell to the floor while attempting to break free. Headmaster Fanu then pulled his wand out from his robe and sent a flash of green light from the tip of his wand. He was calling for the hunters.
Fanu ran to krampus and knelt down by its side. The seal around Sous' neck brighten and then her blades began to go away. She looked at her bare hands and arms, they were back to normal. She looked at the beast then to the headmaster.
"Can the chains hold him?"
"For now," Fanu answered. "Why didn't you come get me?"
"I sent three friends."
"Well," Fanu said, "they never came."
Defeating the voodoo dolls was well and enough but the truth of the matter was they needed to get to the source and as the three girls stood looking up at the doll master, it was Thibodeux they needed to get to.
Alana and Tany didn't know how to stop Thibodeux but if Faye took the action while the other girls fought the dolls then that meant the spirits wouldn't be able to cross to the other side. They would still be stuck in the middle.
Faye held up her two needles and struck them down onto the black jack table. The four girls landed back into the hall of the school. Faye rubbed her two needles together creating a blue light of electricity. Thibodeux quickly got to her feet, disappointed Faye was able to break the spell.
Thibodeux took her needles and blocked the strike from Faye, but Faye twisted to the side, jumped up, and landed on the wall before performing a flying kick to Thibodeux's chest, followed by a front up kick to Thibodeux's face. Faye landed and stabbed Thibodeux's in her left shoulder blade.
Thibodeux screamed out, her back slamming into the wall.
"Undo the summon."
Through gritted teeth, "How much you paying?"
Faye stabbed the needle deeper into Thibodeux's chest. Thibodeux didn't get a chance to answer. The girls turned to look down the hall to see figures wearing black cloths soaring towards them.
"Hunters." Faye stepped back and took the needle from Thibodeux's chest. Thibodeux placed her hand on the wound to put pressure on it.
One of the hunters came to Thibodeux and opened its black cloak, hands of numerous souls grabbed Thibodeux and began to pull her into the black cloak of the hunter. Thibodeux began to scream out as she was dragged into this being.
"HE'S UNSUMMON! HE'S UNSUMMON!"
The last thing the three girls saw before her body completely disappeared into the hunters was her hands waving frequently trying to escape.
The hunter, paying the other three girls no mind, met up with the other hunters and soared off down the hall where they came from. The girls stood there in shock, never seeing hunters up close and in person like that. Never seeing them open their cloaks like that.
"Sous!" Tany ran toward the infirmary.
Sous held the brown rat in her hand as she sat on the bed with Jacob. Headmaster Fanu was conversing with the hunters. Tany, Alana, and Faye entered into the infirmary and ran up to Sous, asking if she were okay, was krampus gone, why she was holding a rat.
A mushroom sigh came from Sous' mouth, with her falling back on Jacob's bed. But as soon as she fell down, she sat back up. "Where's Thibodeux?"
Headmaster Fanu looked at Sous and nodded his head. He walked to her while the hunters wrapped up.
"I was able to determine the source of the hoodoo magic that I felt. I was able to astroproject while conscious just in time to see Faye making Thibodeux confess. Putting the clues together from the previous days, I suggested for the hunters to go where she was."
They were all silent, taking in what Headmaster Fanu said.
"What is astroproject?" Sous asked. A sweat drop came over Headmaster Fanu's head. It was too early in the morning to explain and frankly he was just too tired.
"What matters is krampus is gone. With the exception of Jacob who must stay here, you all can go to bed."
Sous placed the rat on her dresser and gave it a small blanket to keep warm. While Sous got into bed and proceeded to go to sleep after releasing a big yawn, the rat squinted her eyes, balled up her little rat fist, and began to plot her revenge. The weird human looking thing and the snake thought they could just pass her off as food! Not on her watch!
