Conrad walked slowly towards her and stopped when he was close to her.
"Forgive me" He said and held her dislocated arm before hitting it hard on the wall.
"Arghhh" She cried out in pain falling on her knees. Tears welled up in her eyes before looking at the hand. She could move it and she sniffed standing up slowly.
"That hurt!!!" She yelled.
"I told you forgive me before I did it. At least it's no longer dislocated" He said and she rolled her eyes.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Why did you let Logan hug you?" He asked instead and Ariel's eyes widened before she chuckled.
"You mean that's why you're so angry?" She asked and he turned to go but she rushed to stand in front of him.
"I didn't, he hugged me first and plus, he's my friend. A simple hug doesn't hurt" She said and he just stared at her.
"Don't be upset" She said and he stared at the wound on her forehead. His cold eyes softened as he brought his hands to her head.
"Who did this?" He asked.
"Oh it's nothing, I…."
"Who did this to you Ariel?!" He asked and she sighed.
"You know how I am with all these creatures and....."
"You saw one?" He asked and she nodded.
"The girl who took the book I was reading back at the cafeteria. She did this to me just because I wanted to know more about her" She said with a pout.
"Not all creatures are calm or nice. Some are heartless and wicked, what if she killed you?" He asked.
"She won't. I would have defended myself" She said and he chuckled.
"A human battling with a creature. Amazing" He said and she rolled her eyes.
"I unintentionally speak some unknown words and then something strange happens. I bet I can handle her if she tried doing something to me" She said and he scoffed.
"Don't feel yourself. I'd take you to the infirmary" He said and she nodded.
She started limping and he stared at her before going to carry her in a bridal style.
"I can walk by myself" She said.
"Says the girl who's limping" He said.
"Whatever. I shouldn't even be talking to you right now" She said and he looked at her.
"The same goes with me" He said and faced forward continuing his walk to the infirmary.
They got to the infirmary and he dropped her down on the bed. The nurse walked to her and stared at her injured head.
"What caused this?" She asked getting a methylated spirit.
"I hit my head on the wall when walking" Ariel said and the nurse chuckled.
"What's so funny about it?" Conrad asked and she looked at him.
"I don't remember talking to you or chuckling at you so what's with the question?" She asked and Conrad just stared at her.
She rolled her eyes before facing Ariel.
"You should be careful, the cases of injuries recorded from you are becoming too much The nurse said and placed the cotton wool on her forehead.
"It's not like I'm doing it intentionally, it just happens" She said with closed eyes.
The nurse frowned and pressed the cotton wool hard on her head.
"Ouch, careful!!" Ariel snapped and the nurse smiled.
"Stop" He said and the nurse rolled her eyes dropping the cotton wool.
"What now?" She asked and Conrad walked past her coming to stand beside the bed. He carried Ariel in a bridal style and she opened her eyes.
"Conrad, what are you doing?" She asked and he looked at the nurse.
"Don't try what you did again" He said and walked out of the infirmary.
She scoffed trashing the cotton wool.
"The heck with that guy" She said and went to wash her hands.

"The cameras have been destroyed and the spiders are dead. We need to release more" The unknown guy said to his friend.
"What do we do? We have to get that girl" The friend said.
"I know but we need more information about her" The guy said.
"How do we get information about her when the cameras has been destroyed?" His friend asked.
"The spider will, when it bites her, we'd be able to get everything we need to know about her" He said and his friend chuckled.
"You're talking as if you don't know what she is. She's way stronger than that spider, it can't even come near her talk more of biting her." His friend said and the unknown guy smirked.
"Bring me Tessa" He said and his friend nodded before leaving. After a while, he came back with a witch and the unknown guy stood up from where he sat.
"You called for me Master?" She asked.
"Yes. Cast a spell upon this spider and make it a human." He said.
"Yes master" She said and stared at the spider the unknown guy just dropped on the ground.
She stretched forth her hand and spoke.
"Spider, spider, hear my plea,
Leave your web and come to me.
Take on a human form, I decree
With thoughts, emotions and humanity"
The spider began transforming. It's legs elongating and changing to two. After a while, it looked like a pretty lady.
"Who…what am I?" The spider spoke and Tessa smiled.
"This is the key to getting Ariel. We only need to enroll her into school."
"How are we going to do that?" She asked.
"Leave it to me The friend said and looked at the two before smirking.
★» SPORTS CENTER »★
"Throw" Ariel said and the girl passed the ball to another person.
"Yes, score" She told the girl and the girl threw the ball into the net. It went in and their team scream was heard.
"Nice one" Ariel said to the girl and she smiled.
"Thanks" She said and Ariel smiled. The remaining game continued with them having the upper hand.
The game ended after a while and Ariel's team won.
"We won, in your faces" They said to the ones they played against and they laughed.
Ariel carried a bottle of water and walked to a bench there. She opened the water bottle and gulped down the whole thing before exhaling. Her gaze landed on the lady she met before.
She stared at the girl who was exercising herself before the next basketball game and smiled.
"You did well Ariel" Ashely said coming to sit beside her.
"Thanks" Ariel said and looked at the girl.
"What or who are you staring at?" Ashley asked and Ariel looked at her.
"That girl. Do you know anything about her?" Ariel asked stylishly pointing at the girl she was staring at.
"Well, she has been in this school for a while now but I know nothing about her. She's quite mysterious and troublesome" Ashley said and Ariel looked at her.
"When someone's troublesome, they tend to leave traces of themselves. We can actually find something about her" Ariel said and Ashley looked at her.
"Why do you want to know about her this much?"
"I don't know but then I really want to know about her." Ariel said and the lady's gaze landed on Ariel.
They held gazes for a while with none of them blinking. The lady couldn't hold the gaze anymore cos she looked away making Ariel chuckle.
"Will you help me?" Ariel asked looking at Ashley.
"I will under one condition" Ashley said.
"What is it?"
"You tell me everything that has been happening. New things you noticed about yourself or someone. You're keeping something from me and I want to know" She said and Ariel gulped.
"Are you in or not?"
"Fine" Ariel said and Ashley smiled.
A whistle was blown and the next half begun. Ariel's gaze remained on the lady having a thought run through her head.
