~Lisa's POV
I couldn't believe my eyes.
One minute, Petra was laughing and mocking me, and the next… she was hunched over, her hands on her stomach, groaning in pain.
"Ugh… what's… happening?" she whimpered, her body trembling.
I took a step back, my heart thudding. "Petra?"
Cecilia gasped beside me. "No… no, no, no…"
Petra fell to her knees, coughing violently. Blood sprayed from her mouth, splattering across the tiled floor. My eyes widened. My breath caught in my throat.
"She's… she's vomiting blood," I whispered.
Cecilia looked panicked. "She wasn't supposed to eat that! That food…"
My head whipped around. "What was in the food, Cecilia? What did you give me?!"
Cecilia reached for me. "Lisa, calm down. It was meant for you, not her. I didn't know…"
I stepped back. "You didn't know what? That it would kill someone?"
"No! I didn't know Petra would take it. I was testing… testing something. You weren't supposed to…"
