Clark should have guessed the students would have reacted the way they did. He remembered high school and if something as odd and interesting as an animal attack happened near his school, there was no chance in hell the student body would keep mum about it or worry too much as to call their ride home before gossiping up a storm. It wasn't long after the students started theorizing before his sister stood up to approach him, falling for a moment, but being caught by the boy next to her. As soon as Auggie reached him, Clark was officially in what Joseph called his "alpha mode".
"They found one close. Another one so quickly is not a good sign." Clark couldn't help but sweat a bit as he spoke. He didn't like this set of circumstances, especially since the Greens had a particularly fresh set of targets painted on their backs. All he could do was stay calm and make sure his siblings didn't notice his nerves.
"You guys don't think that it's a-- uhh, like, a certain thing with claws and stuff..." Joseph trailed off, scowling. "You know what I mean. Is it?"
"Could be. All I know is that we need to figure out what it is and soon." Clark spoke in an alarmed and subtle tone, trying not to speak above a decibel the other students would hear. He had noticed the various students leaving the class and assumed they had gotten their rides and were leaving. Only one girl worried Clark and her sister was the one who approached soon after. "Hi, I'm Katilyn Volks... My sister, Tayden Volks was the girl who just... ran out? If you can even call it that... anyway. I'm going to go after her. I'm assuming we're getting detention for this, so what day should we come in?"
[color=#135194]"Well forget about it for today. Just be careful and watch out, out there." he said, giving a knowing nod as he did so. Kaitlyn had to take care of her family and Clark could respect that, seeing as most of his life for the past few years had been taking care of Auggie, Joseph, and Joanna. But still, this girl was different. Clark could tell it from not only the way she carried herself but also her scent as it wasn't completely human to say the least. He was about to make a remark to his siblings, but was interrupted by the rumbling of the phone still in his hand with a message from Joanna;
To: Clark, Joseph, & Auggie
Message:
Hey! Everyone ok? Classes are cancelled. Body found. Checking it out soon.
It took him a few moments to form a response, but eventually, Clark found the right words, putting in effort to make sure Kaitlyn didn't glimpse the screen;
To: Joanna, Joseph, and Auggie
Message:
Everyone's fine. Second body, I think. I think we have a wolf among us if you catch my meaning. A student, maybe. Does the name Volk sound familiar.
