Chapter 272 Lockdown

Enzo’s POV

There were a few students still wandering the campus; they were looking at the cop car and ambulance with large, frightened eyes, whispering to one another about what was happening.

“I hear somebody died, one of the girls said.

“Do we know who it is?” Another girl asked.

One of the boys was about to answer, but I didn’t give them to chance to speak.

“Everybody needs to get back to their dorms; right now,” I ordered.

They all frowned and looked at one another.

“We are vampires; our curfew doesn’t start until 7 am tomorrow,” One of the boys complained.

“Do I look like I care?” I asked through my teeth; annoyed they were questioning me. “Headmaster’s orders.”

They all sighed and started back towards the dormitory. I shook my head at them and started to patrol the campus, looking for any others that were wandering around. Besides the ambulance and cop cars, the campus was a ghost town. Only the sirens could be heard, which was a relief.

I went into the dining hall and saw a few students eating at the tables; I knew they were vampires as well.

“Bring that to your dorms; your classes have been canceled for today and everybody needs to report back to their dorms right away.” I told them, trying to keep my voice calm.

They looked at one another, frowning. Clearly oblivious to what was going on outside.

“What’s going on?” One of the girls with long blue hair and bright blue eyes had to be the perkiest-looking vampire I’d ever seen.

“Everything will be explained later but Headmaster Prescott wants everyone in their dorms, told them.

“We aren’t done eating.” One of the guys said; he had a darker appearance with his jet-black hair that rested above his shoulders and tucked behind one of his cars and eyes that were so dark they nearly looked black.

He sat close to the girl, so it was clear they were together.

My annoyance level grew, and I decided to address the entire dining hall at once. There weren’t a lot of students in the dining hall, but there were a few sc attered around that I knew were vampires. All other students were in their dorms because of curfew, most oblivious to what was happening outside the academic center.
