The Transference

C43

"On Wednesday when I told you about Mr. Di Martino you ran out of the auditorium. Your expression changed. What happened? Did I say something wrong?"

I chew the remnants of sandwich in my mouth and swallow. I grab the half drunk bottle of orange juice and drink it finish before answering Alicia.

"I had already met Mr. Di Martino that morning and he said somethings that brought some bad memories, so when you told me he is Penelope stepdad, I panicked, wondering what she knows."

These past few days has been hard for me, it's one of the reasons why I stopped eating in the cafeteria and why I'm also stress eating. I don't do well with stress and I've been emotionally and mentally stressed since the beginning of this semester. I'm not even focusing on my school work like I should and it sucks because I really want to try my best, but I'm not very good at multitasking.

I haven't been doing much, just hiding from everyone else. I have been skipping classes too because I don't want to run into Mr. Di Martino again and I'm still trying wrap my head around Jessica staying away from me. She hasn't been in the room since we had our stupid misunderstanding and I miss her. I miss having her around. I also miss Nate but I don't blame them for staying away. My life is so much complicated as it and I don't want to drag them down with me. I'm risking Alicia by being here with her because the poor girl doesn't know anything about me and the danger that follow me around, and also the ones I invite myself into.

"What are you thinking about?" Her question breaks into my thoughts.

I look from the sigil symbol on the cover of one of the text books, I didn't even realize I was staring so hard at it. "Nothing much. Are you done eating?" I ask as I begin to pack the leftovers to the side. It's time to get back to work.

She nods. "Yeah."

Once I set aside the coven books to one side, I take the book that contains the greatest Evil or so the title says, there's no author or publisher. The book starts with chapter list, each chapters with different person. My eyes scans the lists, catching some few name along the way like King Ackolis also known as the Cruel King, he died because of a woman. How typically. I learned about him in History of the world. When I get to alphabet S, I notice a particular surname Sylason Sylas and Sylason Marcus: The Greatest Duo Evil. Sounds fitting.

"Found it," I call out when I see Sinclair Caleb listed above the Sylason brothers or are they parent and offspring. It's doesn't really matter, I'm not here for them.

Alicia moves closer to me, I drop the book on the floor to make it convenient for the both of us to read. I swipe the book to page one hundred and fifty seven. Chapter fourteen: Caleb and Claire Sinclair: The Gemini Nefarious.

"Wow, whoever wrote this book must really know them." She comments before we start reading.

Yeah, whoever wrote this book must have known intimately because none of what we've read before mentioned they were supernatural. Some just believed they the twins were troubled while other thought they were possessed.

The book began with their early lives and it actually correlate with what I've learned before but this book confirmed that Claire Sinclair started the fire that killed their parents. She was also responsible for the killing more than twelve people at the foster home.

The paragraph ended with the both of them hung and burned on a tree.

Before the next paragraph is a subtopic: The raise of Caleb Sinclair. The paragraph started off with how Caleb killed his former foster mother Elizabeth Copper by slitting her throat. He was caught by the newspaper boy, who ran and screamed for help. Caleb and his sister were able to escape but not for long. Claire was caught and killed. Caleb was able to get away. The people in the town wanted closure and after waiting for Caleb to come get his sister and no show. They burned her and Copper's body as a sign of evil riddance and hung them on the tree for display. Caleb returned to steal his sister's body from the lab where it was being tested and absorbed her power.
