"Are you insane? Why would you do that?" Ariel asked angrily.
"You're talking to your elder, show some goddamn respect" The nurse said and Ariel chuckled before pushing her backwards.
She fell on a table with a groan. Ariel went to Emerald and carried her on her back before taking her out of the room.
The nurse stood and rolled her eyes before arranging the table.
She looked out the window staring at Ariel and she folded her fists.
"Ariel" She muttered with gritted teeth.
★» EMERALD'S ROOM »★
Ariel opened the door with the key Emerald gave her before walking into the room.
"Wow, your room is pretty. Is it only you that stays here?" Ariel asked dropping her gently on the bed.
"Thank you and yes I'm the only one here. No one wanted to stay with me since I'm a scholarship student. I'm not as rich as they are" Emerald said with a sad smile.
"Ohhh, that's sad" Ariel said.
"Yeah it is" Emerald mumbled and closed her eyes.
"Do you have a first aid kit?" Ariel asked and Emerald shook her head.
"Alright, I'd be back" Ariel said and stood heading to the door. She opened the door and left the room.
Emerald sighed and then she felt a presence in the room. Before she could open her eyes, a pair of fangs pierced into her neck.
A loud scream erupted her lips as the creature implanted venom into Emerald.
The creature left her neck and smiled before leaving through the window. Emerald's eyes flew opened and tears escaped her eyes as she felt weak.
"Help" Her voice came out low and she spat out blood.
Her wound began bleeding again and she tried sitting up but she couldn't.
"Ariel" She mumbled and her eyes slowly went shut.
★» ARIEL'S ROOM »★
Ariel went to the closet and opened the lower drawer getting a first aid box from there. She turned and gasped a little when she saw Conrad.
"You startled me" She said.
"Emerald is in danger. Only you can save her" He said and Ariel furrowed her brows.
Ariel's eyes widened madly and she ran out of the room immediately. She pushed down the students in her way until she stopped in front of Logan.
"What happened?" He asked.
"Emerald is in trouble, move out of the way" She said and ran past him.
He looked back at her and sighed before facing forward.
Conrad was already standing in front of him giving a look.
"She won't die if Ariel can help her" Logan said and Conrad remembered something.
He snapped his fingers and everyone froze. He sped to Ariel's room and got the book she was reading before speeding to her. She placed it into her hand before coming back to Logan.
He snapped his fingers and Logan smirked.
"Show off" Logan said and Conrad smirked.
"The full moon is coming soon and when it does, make sure you're not around anyone. I know I can make them forget but like, don't put us in trouble by doing that" Conrad said and Logan scoffed as they began walking.
"I already know."
"You coming for the outing next week?"
"Definitely, we have to keep an eye on Ariel and that spider" Logan said and Kimberly walked towards them with a smile on her face.
"Hi Conrad, you look hot today" Kimberly said which attracted some girls.
"So?" Conrad asked and the people around gasped in mockery.
Kimberly bit her lips before smiling.
"I was hoping if we could….." she didn't finish what she was saying cos he walked out on her making the students laugh more.
"You should stop. He's wayy out of your league" Logan said and she frowned deeply. He smirked and left the hallway.
The students around began laughing and Kimberly frowned hard before walking away.

"How could you do that?!!" Andrea yelled at Alicia.
"Why won't I do that?! You wanted to kill her!!" Alicia yelled.
"Who told you I wanted to do that?!"
"It was quite obvious and I hate the fact that you Alexa didn't even try to stop her." Alicia said and Alexa sighed looking down at her legs.
"Don't make Alexa feel that way? She wanted to also release her frustrations, why should I deprive her from doing that?" Andrea asked.
"That's how you'd kill her and then you'd say 'I'm sorry', 'It was unintentional' just like how you did to him!!!" Alicia yelled and Andrea stepped back a bit.
"Did you know how much I loved the guy? You just killed him without even considering how I'd feel. The same way you made me betray Emerald and now she's getting treated all because of you. Why can't you just ever let me be happy with the people I love and the friends I make?? Why?!!" Alicia asked tears escaping her eyes.
"You opened the wound you gave her 4 years ago. You fúçking opened it and when I told you to stop, you refused. I know I was the one who reminded you both about her and I'm regretting it. I shouldn't have said it buh then I just left it cos I wanted to see if I'd be a little cruel as you both buh I couldn't be cruel. I just couldn't. You both are just too cruel and I can't keep up with that. Just stay the hell away from me today, same as you Alexa" Alicia said and wiped her tears before leaving the room.
Andrea sighed and sat down on the chair feeling bad. Alexa went to the kitchen and brought out a bottle of whiskey. She drank from the bottle immediately.
★» EMERALD'S ROOM »★
Ariel ran into the room and a gasp escaped her lips when she saw Emerald looking lifeless.
"Emerald" She mumbled before closing the door and she walked in.
"Emerald" She called again but got no reply.
She sat on the bed beside Emerald and she placed her two fingers on the side of Emerald's neck and her eyes widened a bit when she didn't feel her pulse.
She dropped the book on the bed beside Emerald before looking at the wound on her stomach which was producing black blood.
She furrowed her brows before looking at Emerald. Her eyes went to Emerald's neck and she gasped as she stood up stepping back from her.
"What's this?" She asked walking closer to her. She leaned in and brought down her face staring at the bite on her neck.
It looked exactly like the one whom but the girl at the garden before.
"A spider bite" Ariel mumbled and Emerald sat up with closed eyes and began vomiting blood and her intestines.
"No!!!!" Ariel screamed tears welling up into her eyes.
