Chapter 58. BloodSucker...[7]

Iris's POV...

It's been a month since the first two victims were found, and the atmosphere at the academy has become suffocating. Every whisper, every sideways glance is filled with suspicion, all directed at me.

My fellow students avoid my gaze, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and curiosity. The hallways, once bustling with laughter and camaraderie, now echo with sinister murmurs and unfounded accusations.

Rumors have spread like wildfire, painting me as the monstrous culprit behind the gruesome discoveries.

The stories are as fantastical as they are horrifying. They say I, Iris, am the one draining the victims' blood, using it to fuel some dark ritual tied to my supposed vampire bloodline. The accusations don't stop there.

According to the rumors, I am doing all this because I am jealous of Raya, my perfect, beautiful sister who seems to excel effortlessly at everything she does.
