CODE X (DERANGED).

Aiden.

"Aiden Hellhawker, do you know why you are here?" The dragon lady asked me and I raise my brow.

"Because I beat up that Vamp?" I asked back, completely fearless before the board. When I was pushed in, I was a bit terrified of what might happen to me. But right now, after watching that video and being fully aware that the whole party and everything was a set up, I was deadpan mad.

From the start, everything was planned. And when I think of how I fell for it, I can't stop the rage I feel. Nobody can be trusted.

To think I blocked out my powers because I thought of a normal date with Amy makes me even more riled. I didn't want to hear her thoughts, I wanted to be fair because she couldn't hear mine, now look what it cost me.

"He deserved it". I seethed through my teeth, causing the werewolf Alpha amongst the board to scoff with a frown.

"And how do you mean if I may ask?" His eyes remained on me.

"He bullied another clan, so I set him straight ". I see the smile on the face of the vampire amongst the board. He seemed pleased by my words.

"You didn't think that your actions could've lead to a huge consequence?"

He questioned and I shrugged. "Nope, it felt really good to hurt him". He frowned again to my words and I fought back a chuckle that pried to escape my lips. I could tell that was getting under his skin with my answers.

"Aiden Hellhawker, are you saying that you find it pleasurable hurting your kind?"

Now I know what he's trying to do. He is trying to force the wrong words out me so that he can use it against me. I scoffed. "No, do I look deranged to you? It felt good helping another clan even if I had to hurt my kind in the process, that's what I meant, don't twist my words".

I smiled and instantly I hear his thoughts.

Mutherfucker.

This time, I exposed my canines as I stared straight into his eyes. The tension between us building up greatly.

"And the clans you hurt today? Did it also feel good hurting them?" He asked and I let out an exhale.

"Dude, I dug my claws deep into a direwolf's throat... No amount of pleasure can be compared to that no matter what". A smile played on my lips and I couldn't stop the chuckle that escaped my throat as the direwolf Alpha banged the table.

"Why are we hearing his side of the story? He is a code x... He should be refrained".

He looked at me with pure disgust and I raised my brow at his words. "Refrained? Your dogs came into my home and attacked me first and got it, who do you really think should be refrained? They're wild dogs, they should be kept in a cage or something".

"HOW DARE YOU!" He banged the table again and another chuckle left my lips before the dragon lady yelled "ENOUGH!"

Her voice, commanding.

"Aiden Hellhawker, you have broken two very important rules of Prestige High".

She spoke and I guess she wanted to pass the judgement so I remained quiet.

"You trespassed into the werewolf boarding quarters, and you ruthlessly hurt your kind. Not to talk of the amount of injuries you inflicted on several clans today in cause of bringing you here".

"Due to all of these actions, I declare you dangerous and immediately flagged a code x with immediate effect".

I managed a grin masking my actual feelings. Anger.

"You will be moved from your residence far away from others, learn separately from the rest, only allowed to mingle with a code x, and indefinitely on probation until graduation".

She passed the order, leaving the werewolf Alpha grinning triumphantly and the school Admin lowering her head while the people in uniform pushed me away.

As the doors shut behind me, I felt shut out.

I clenched my fist inside the strapped shirt used to trap me, feeling so out of place and betrayed.

Even my so called flatmates that claimed to be my guardian ratted me out behind my back. I clenched my Jaws in annoyance, squinting my eyes again as I was moved back into the very bright room.

I felt the strap unbuckle as the men in uniform stepped back in reflex and I freed myself. "Please come with us to new quarters". One of them spoke up, eyes gazing on me sharply.

I wondered what that place would be like as we strolled out of the doors and I thought of who could've been behind all this.

Cameron? Ashley? The werewolves? Salvador? Amy? Jeremy? The host of the party? Amy? Or Bale?

Who could it be?

We took the same hallway where the trial was held, but cornered to another by the left when I suddenly realized that I was in school premises, strolling through three different hallways before the main school hallway where students engaged in gang gossips, locker talks, and photo taking before classes.

I didn't even need to be announced because immediately the first two student spotted the code x uniforms, they made a path in-between, clearing the way for us to pass through, as silence greeted the room before murmurs.

I was too occupied in my thoughts to glace at anyone and we were already at the center of the large hallway when I took my eyes up.

For just a brief moment, I see Ashley and Amy together among the rest students staring at me with sorry looks on their faces.

For some reason the hallway looked unusually packed or maybe I just haven't been in this school for so long to notice the numbers before classes.

Students kept murmuring to themselves as I walked past them at the middle of so many agents surrounding me.

We got to the end of the hallway, and I see Jeremy, Salvador, and Damien.

Damien opened his mouth to speak to me but I take my eyes off him instantly, shutting out everyone.

I didn't want to speak with anyone, not when they made a fool out of me.

All the lies, pretentious acts, protection, laughters, everything, they were all lies.

They were all in this together all along.

I was done with everything. Everyone.

As the large doors shut behind me, I shut everyone out.

I hear their voices behind me but didn't stop until I got into the black van opened for me, and out of the school premises.

They were all dead to me.
