Board Room Meeting

Benjamin Carter strode into the boardroom with a swagger that commanded attention. Dressed in a sleek black suit with a crisp white shirt and a pocket square that practically screamed "power move," he exuded confidence and authority. The heads of the other executives turned in unison as he took his place at the head of the table, a shark among guppies.

The room had a long table at the center. And up to twenty chairs could be seen surrounding the table. in the seat at the center, Principal Colonel Benjamin Henderson could be seen sitting their with his almost bald head.

The long table, with its twenty chairs evenly spaced around it, felt like a battlefield, and Benjamin Henderson sat at the center like a general surveying the troops. His head was almost entirely devoid of hair, and the few strands that remained stood at attention like soldiers awaiting orders.

Benjamin Carter went to take his seat, he sat close to Sophie Smith who sat by his left. Sophie Smith gave him a smile and Whispered:

"You are looking hot today." She said.

Benjamin Carter was a Werewolf like her and she knew that her whispers would be clearly heard by him.

The seats in the room had not been filled completely. One seat was left, the person to seat their hadn't arrived yet. It was Bradley Stones.

Benjamin Carter didn't like the fact that Bradley Stones would be in this board meeting. He was only a mutant and wasn't even involved in any matter of the school. Bradley Stones only stayed here, because he felt this school is under attack by forces that meets the eyes.

The sound of the doors opening could be heard and finally Bradley Stones had walked in.

Bradley stones dressed in his normal Anti-Meta Human Officers outfit. His gun was still by his side. Although, the others didn't think the gun was necessary, they just felt like it was okay. Besides, he was an Anti-Meta Human Officers and they put their trust on him.

"I believe i can start now." Bradley Stones said looking at the principal.

"Yes." The principal said.

"Good." Bradley Stones replied. "I believe we all heard what happened last night. Some parts of the school Building was burnt and it came from underground."

"We still don't know the source of it. we don't know the source of the fire and we cannot just sit here and do nothing. If the kids get hurt. it would spoil this school REPUTATION." Bradley Stones concluded.

"So what do you suggest we do?" The principal asked.

Bradley Stones scratched his beard for a moment and then said: "There is someone working underground in this school. The fire started from underground."

At this moment, both Benjamin Carter and Sophie Smith started to wonder. 'How is that possible. The room was locked. Or did the fire start from the tunnel?'

"Tomorrow, I want to inform this to you all." Bradley Stones said. "I would be bringing a mutant in. She would be able to get the truth from everyone; that's her power."

"The truth would finally be revealed. Whoever is behind this, if he is here should raise his hand immediately and confess, or else he or she would be killed on the spot."

"As from today, no one is allowed to leave this school premises until she finally arrives." Bradley Stones said this next words as he smashed the table aggressively. "I must catch whoever is being this."

Those last words sent fear to many in the room. Even if you knew you were innocent looking at him right now would make you see him as a Killer who was ready to take another's life.

"But aren't you going above your power." One of the teachers there, named Ms. Eliza Copperfield. "You don't have the power to hurt Mutants. The law says that you attack or kill only illegals."

"You were only sent here because our Principal Colonel Benjamin Henderson believe that their was some form of supernatural forces at play in this school. You don't have the right to attack a human." At this point Principal Colonel Benjamin Henderson who was sitting by her side tapped her to shut up, but she wouldn't. "You can only attack the person. If he or she is an illegal."

"Are you the cause of all this? Are you the one who is killing during the Full Moon? Are you the one who burnt some parts of the school Building?" Bradley Stones said those words slowly trying to make her feel the weight.

"No. I did not." Eliza said firmly.

"What's your name?" Bradley asked her.

"Eliza Copperfield." Eliza replied a little angry. She didn't see Mutants as humans. She just saw them as people mistakenly cursed with powers.

"If you are the cause of all this. I would be the first to kill you and i promise i would do it slowly." Bradley Stones said starring directly at her eyes.

"Please we didn't come here for a fight. The person who is behind this would be caught." A male teacher by the name of Mr. Sebastian Winchester said. "We just have to wait until tomorrow."

"Tomorrow then." Bradley Stones said as he stomped out of the room in anger.

"I think we don't have anything to do here anymore." Principal Colonel Benjamin Henderson said. "The meeting is over."

Everyone started to leave one by one. Benjamin Carter and Sophie Smith went to her own office to talk a bit.

"Do you think somebody stole the keys. But how." She said to Benjamin Carter confused.

"Don't look at me. You were the one with the key." Benjamin Carter replied rudely.

That room was a base for them in this school. Where they did their secret things. If that room is gone, the Werewolves have to act fast. Another full Moon is soon approaching and they would need a room with a strong pole for the night.

"Someone took it." Sophie said as she checked where she had kept it last night.

"Why would you keep it here in your office. Why didn't you take it to your room." Benjamin said again angry.

"I didn't think this would happen." She said. "Instead of complaining, let us go check the room and see how bad it is."

"Maybe Victor; your brother could help us use Magic to rebuild it." She concluded.

"Okay. but you are still going to find the key." He replied. "Let me go and take of this suit."

*******

Moments later, Benjamin Carter had finally entered his office. He started pulling his suit gradually. At his office table, there was a uniform. He usually didn't go to the school room until the school day was over.

"Don't pretend like you didn't hear me." A voice was heard from behind him.

Benjamin didn't budge a little instead he kept on his changing his clothes and didn't concern himself about the person behind him. He had picked up this person's scent when he walked in with Super speed. The person behind him was a Vampire and he knew that true his scent.

"You are faster than the others." Benjamin Carter said still not looking Behind him.

"I am here to ask a question." The person said.

"What is it?" Benjamin Carter said, this time he was no longer wearing his suit and had finally chained.

"It's about the Previous Vampires..." The Vampire wasn't able to complete his sentence. He had dodged at the last moment evading the claws of Benjamin which was aiming for his neck.

Immediately the Vampire got into a fighting stance. "My name is Noah Brown and i am a Vampire Knight of the Royal Family. You have tried to kill me and thus i would do thesame."

Noah Brown dashed towards Benjamin Carter...
