Hearing Karen's cruel words, Betty couldn't help but taunt her even though she knew it would lead to something even more tragic.
"You're jealous of her, that's why, you all do these things. Admit it Karen, you're jealous because you're not as good as Sena. Moreover, to have a valid reason to harm her, you spread to everyone, that you felt, your father never cared about you as much as he cared about Sena but I know, you're well aware that your father cares so much about you. You're just using this as one of your excuses to destroy her because you're jealous about everything she has. You're jealous that your beloved crush admitted he likes Sena more than you. Also, your jealousy has made you look uglier than a corpse."
"You!" Karen said angrily and with all her might, she stomped Betty's face with her right foot. Due to the impact, Betty fell to the ground.
Karen's eyes gleamed with pride and indifference as she gazed unsympathetically at Betty's fallen figure.
In the next moment, Karen's lips curled into a sinister grin as she ordered her lackeys with an imperious air of a queen. "Girls, let's show our little guest, Miss Betty, what's the prize for being nosy in someone else's business."
Ten minutes later....
"Let's stop, my father is looking for me, let's wrap this up and go home." Karen said as she looked at the messages on her phone.
The group of mean looking girls leave altogether leaving Betty laying on the ground with injuries wrapped in her body.
On the ground, Betty cried in despair but she never regretted her decision. Instead, she cried for how powerless and hopeless their situation is. If witches are real, she's willing to trade anything, no matter the cost, just for vengeance against Karen.
Then a mysterious figure covered in black appeared at Betty sight.
"Who are you?" She asked with fear.
"Do you want revenge." The mysterious figure said.
A man's voice. She thought and replied with determination, "Yes, I want them to pay!"
"Tomorrow and onwards it shall happen." The mysterious figure said and disappeared.
WEE-oo-WEE-oo
The loud noise created by the police and ambulance car outside, attracted Betty who is nearly unconscious. Seeing the police walking towards her, accompanied with medics, she fainted completely.
The next day, inside the classroom of class amethyst. Near the door, as usual, a group of 6- 8 girls gathered for a morning gossip. Stella sat on the chair like a queen bee, her yellow hair styled in a ponytail and her piercing yellow eyes gleaming with confidence.
"Guys, have you all heard the recent news about Betty? She is in the hospital." Stella said with worry. Her yellow eyes dimmed with sadness.
Mila with a long blue hair and eyes, asked with concern, "No, what happened? Do you know about it? Stella."
"Well, according to my source. Karen is the one who did it." Stella said with anger.
Jenny with a long pink hair and eyes said in frustration, "It happened again. Why can't Betty just stay still and not act so impulsively?"
"She is Betty, no words can persuade her." Penny, like Jenny, had hair and eyes as pink as a cherry blossom. But different from Jenny long hair, Penny has short hair.
"She always does suicidal things. Doesn't she know that if she died, Sena would feel so guilty that it would destroy her." Said Mila.
"We can't do anything about it. Betty is stubborn as a rock." Jenny said hopelessly.
"It's been years since they were friends. Sena family helped Betty's family, if it wasn't for Sena plea, her mother is long dead due to a lack of financial support to treat her illness. So Betty is grateful for Sena and her family and always help Sena when she's bullied." Said Stella.
Denise with a shoulder length orange hair and eyes, "If only we are strong enough to counter Karen, so that she wouldn't bully us anymore. I hate that ugly corpse. She is so ugly, inside and out that she looks like a decaying corpse. Moreover, she wouldn't be so arrogant if there wasn't someone behind her."
"Everyone, I heard that Karen and Sena are childhood best friends and from what I heard on the rumors, if it wasn't for Sena, Karen would never be adopted by the mayor." Said Jenny.
Mila gasped in surprise, "What! Are you sure? I never heard Sena talked about the past between them."
"You didn't know?" Stella looked at the shocked Mila.
"Yes, if Jenny haven't talked about it, I would never know." Said Mila.
"So your the only one who doesn't know, everybody knows it, it's an open secret." Said Stella
"I'm confused, how did Karen get adopted by the mayor, Stella did you know?" Asked Mila.
"Well, I don't know if you believe it or not but according to the rumors after Karen parents died in an accident. The 8 year old Sena persuaded the Mayor to Adopt Karen, the adults thought it was just a passing wind however three days later, Karen got adopted by the mayor." Said Stella
"But what's the relationship between Sena and the Mayor?" Asked Jenny.
"I heard that the Mayor and Sena Mother and Father are childhood friends." Said Stella
"But how on earth an eigth year old successfully convince a grown adult." Mila said with a face of total disbelief.
"Maybe due to Sena cuteness. I'm just joking." Denise teasingly said.
"That's a nice question, Mila. But the mayor also publicly stated that it was Sena recommendation that let him have an idea to have a daughter." Said Stella
"Although we know about the reason Karen doing these to us but just because of jealousy, she's willing to destroy Sena. That's cruel." Diana sighed in sorrow. Her red hair is styled in a fishtail and her red eyes were full of worry as she thought about Betty's condition in the hospital, "Poor Betty, her body is full of injuries."
While opening the classroom door and coincidentally hearing those words. Sena asked with concern and worry,"Who is injured? Betty?"
"Yeah, She's in the hospital right now." Said Stella and thought apologetically but with no regret.
I'm sorry, Betty. We can't keep your promise. Rather than hiding it, we decided to let Sena knows.
"What!" Sena is shocked because just yesterday she saw Betty, laughing and joking with her friends as usual.
Meanwhile, In the hospital and Inside Betty's Ward.
A brown hair policeman named John gently asked Betty some questions, "Are you willing to tell me, who did this to you? Miss Betty."
Hearing his words, she looked at his blue eyes that resembles her beloved friend and said, "If I told you, would you believe me?"
"Yes" The policeman said.
Then Betty without exaggeration started to tell all she experienced under Karen rules.
Ten minutes later, outside Betty hospital room.
John, the policeman talked to an elegant middle-aged man with blue eyes, dressed in a tailored tuxedo suit, and his natural blond hair was perfectly styled in a classic Ivy league cut.
"Mr. Mayor, she said it was your daughter and she has evidence to prove it." John said.
"My troublemaker daughter and her helpers let the law procide over them." Karen Father said.
John nodded to his words and said, "Yes, Mayor."
As dusk slowly wraps its shadows around the city. Sena arrives at the hospital entrance. Coincidentally, she encountered a familiar face, a woman with long black hair styled in a bun and black eyes.
It was Betty's Mother, standing, waiting for someone.
"Auntie Dalia, Are you waiting for someone?" Sena asked.
"I'm waiting for the food I ordered." Auntie Dalia said in a lukewarm tone.
"Auntie, I'm going to visit Betty, can I see her?" Sena looked at Auntie Dalia expressionless face.
"She's at room 201 on the 3rd floor." Auntie Dalia replied.
"Thank you, Auntie." Sena said with gratitude.
Inside the Hospital Room 201.
Betty who's sitting on the hospital bed saw the door knob move, subconsciously said, "Mom...
However her instinct told her that it was not her Mother, she abruptly stopped, and said with surprise when the door completely opened, "Sena, why are you here?"
"I'm here to see you." Sena looked at her injured face with heartache.
A minute goes by.
Sena, sitting on a chair beside Betty's hospital bed, said with moist eyes, "Thank you for everything you have done to me, Betty. But I hope you won't do it next time. Look at you, not a single piece of meat is spared, what if next time, only your corpse is all I will see."
Betty in teary eyes said with determination, "No matter how many words you say, I won't listen. Do you remember when we were young, due to my father's imprisonment. I was bullied in school but you stood up no matter how many bruises you had, you still protected me. So now, I will do the same."
"It was years ago but this time was different. This was much more brutal and dangerous, it could kill you. You are my precious friend. So, I am begging you, no matter what plan they brew, don't interfere and be like the others, pretending they're indifferent to me in public." Sena said with warning.
"But...B..But..." Betty said unwillingly.
"No buts, promise me, Betty. You are your Mother's only child and my Best Friend. Your life is more precious than gold. Promise me, Betty." Sena looked at Betty with a pleading look.
"I promise you." Betty nodded
Hearing her word, Sena smiled and said, "Good."
