★» AAA'S SUITE »★ ANDREA'S ROOM »★
Andrea walked into the room and slammed the door shut. She threw down her lamp which shattered into pieces.
"I didn't kill him!!!" She yelled and kicked down her dressing table.
"Andrea?!" Leonardo yelled hitting the door.
"Open up!! Andrea!!" He yelled and she sniffed squatting to the ground.
"Go away" She mumbled and he used his shoulder to hit open the door. His eyes widened when he saw how messed up the room was.
"I didn't kill him Leo"
"I know and I believe you." He said and she stood before facing him.
"Will you come with me? I wanna go back home." She asked and he nodded.
"Sure" He said and she smiled before wiping her tears.
She walked out of the room and he followed suite. They walked to the principal's office and Mr Griffin sat up straight.
"I'm leaving with Leonardo over here, we'd be back before break is over" She said.
"Where to?" He asked and she gave him a look. He cleared his throat before speaking.
"You're allowed to go"
"Thanks" She said and walked out of the office. Leonardo followed suite and they got to her car.
"Lemme drive"
"Why?" She asked.
"In this present state of yours, you can have us both killed so it's best I drive" He said and she chuckled before giving him the car keys.
"You can drive?" She asked.
"Why won't I be able to drive?" He asked going into the car. She blinked before going in as well.
He ignited the engine before driving off.
★» LUCIAN'S MANSION »★ GUEST ROOM »★
Ariel's eyes flew open and she sat up immediately.
"Are you okay?" The cold voice made her face the other side and she saw Conrad. His cold blue eyes boring into her soul.
"Yes thank you" She replied.
"Let's....."
"A deity told me you know a way to control the dark spirit in me, could you please tell me how?" She said and asked.
Conrad walked over to her and stared at her for a while before bringing her down from the bed and made her stand.
"I don't know how to take it out but I'll..."
'You know how and you know it' The voice in him spoke and he scoffed.
"Let's go, Logan and Ashley would definitely need us" Conrad said and she sighed.
"I don't want to kill anyone Conrad" She said and he caressed her face.
"You won't. I won't let you do so, just trust me" He said and she stared at him before sighing.
"Let's leave" He said and she nodded before going to the door. She tried opening it but she was electrocuted.
"What the heck was that?" She asked staring at the door.
"A barrier I guess" Conrad said and Ariel arched a brow.
"White, are you the one behind this?" Ariel asked and White smiled before speaking.
"Yes"
"Please open the door, my friends and my mum are waiting for me" Ariel said and White looked at Ava.
"I know but you've not yet mastered how to defend yourself or how to use your powers"
"Then just gimme the spell book and I'd learn at school" Ariel said.
"That's more dangerous. What if you're caught?"
"You and I know that can't happen when I'm there" Conrad said and Lucian chuckled.
"We'd come back in two weeks time. Next week we're going for an outing so we won't be chanced to return but the week after it, we'd have a little break and I'd come spend days here perfecting my fighting skills and my magic. Please" Ariel said and Ava sighed.
"We'd let you go but please try to come back, it's for your own good" Ava said.
"Sure" Ariel said.
"Frango barriam!" White muttered and the barrier disappeared.
Ariel and Conrad stepped outside and Ariel smiled.
"I'm so...."
"Don't apologize, you're not at fault" Ava cut her short and she smiled.
"Stay safe you both" Lucian said and Conrad looked at him.
"We will" Conrad said.
"Here you go" White said handing her the spell book.
"Thank you" Ariel said with a smile.
"Ohh, your book" Ava said and rushed downstairs getting the book before giving it to Ariel.
"Thanks" Ariel said taking it from her.
"Goodbye" Conrad said and held Ariel's hand before speeding out of their sight.
They sped out of the mansion and arrived at the entrance of the city.
"Thanks for bringing me here" Ariel said.
"Anytime" He said and she smiled before wrapping her arms around his neck hugging him tightly. He smiled and reciprocated the hug but then his smile dropped.
"Would you get scared when you see what I really am?" He asked and she furrowed her brows before breaking the hug staring at his eyes.
"You didn't show your true form before?" Ariel asked and he smiled.
"Let's go home" He said instead and she bit her lips before poking his cheek.
"You're cuter when you smile, keep smiling" Ariel said and he frowned.
"Conrad!" She snapped and he chuckled.
"Let's go" He said and she rolled her eyes before dropping the books on the ground. She then held his hand.
"Portalis apertus" She muttered, her hands glowing red. She opened her eyes and pointed her right hand at their right side and a black portal began forming.
The portal was now complete and she sighed letting go of his hand. She squatted and picked up the book before smiling.
"Let's go?" She asked and he nodded wrapping his hand around her waist. He sped into the portal and it closed.
★» LOGAN'S SUITE »★
Logan walked out of the restroom putting on a black joggers while his upper part was bare.
Ashley was laying on his bed, her face pale and her breathing was slow. Logan already tied a piece of his clothing around the snake bite to prevent the venom from going further.
He brought out an antidote for snake poison and he sat beside her. He couldn't take her to the infirmary cos the nurse won't be able to do anything about it. It's a supernatural disease.
"Ashley. Open up" He said and she opened her mouth slowly.
He poured the content into her mouth and she swallowed it. She smiled and then her eyes widened. She sat up abruptly and vomited the liquid.
Blood came out from her mouth as well and Logan shifted back shockingly.
"Ashley" He called watching her pour out a lot of blood.
Logan sat down on a chair and closed his eyes reaching out to Conrad.
'Conrad!!' He screamed in his mind before opening his eyes looking at Ashley.
Tears were already welling up in his eyes when he realized he couldn't do anything.
"No, please don't die on me. I can't loose another person" He said, a tear rolling down his eye lids.
★» UNKNOWN »★
"Your plan worked" The masked guy said happily.
"Thank you" Sonia, Tessa's sister said with a devilish smirk.
"I would have replaced Tessa with you a long time ago. Within some minutes, our plan is already working" The guy said staring at Ashley who was coughing out blood on a crystal ball.
"Now she's gone, I'm here and I'm going to serve you till death" She said and he smirked.
"We're gonna kill Ariel." The guy said and let out a dark laughter.
