Third-Person POV
It had been a month since the first two victims were found, and the atmosphere at the academy had become suffocating. Every whisper, every sideways glance was filled with suspicion, all directed at Iris.
Her fellow students avoided her gaze, their eyes wide with a mixture of fear and curiosity. The hallways, once bustling with laughter and camaraderie, now echoed with sinister murmurs and unfounded accusations.
Rumors had spread like wildfire, painting her as the monstrous culprit behind the gruesome discoveries.
The stories were as fantastical as they were horrifying. They said she, Iris, was the one draining the victims' blood, using it to fuel some dark ritual tied to her supposed vampire bloodline. The accusations didn't stop there.
According to the rumors, she was doing all this because she was jealous of Raya, her perfect, beautiful sister who seemed to excel effortlessly at everything she did.
