Chapter 8

After putting it on, Ashley smiled and arranged her hair.
"You're good to go. Make sure to gist me about everything that happened when you come back"
"I definitely will. Take care of yourself and if there's an issue, let me know" Ashley said.
"I will. Now go before you're late" Ariel said and Ashley hugged her before leaving.
Ariel was seated on her bed reading her novel when she heard noises in the school hostel.
She bit her lips before going to change into a black hoodie and a bum short. She took her pepper spray and pocket knife before starting to read her book once more.
She heard noises again and she flinched. She looked around when she felt a presence in the room again.
"Who's there?" She asked looking around.
The room was bright but then she still felt as if someone was in the room. The light suddenly turned off and she shrieked hugging her legs to her chest.
The doorknob began jiggling and she closed her mouth as tears got to her eyes immediately.
The jiggling stopped when the person couldn't open the door. She exhaled in relief thinking the person has gone only to gasp when the person started kicking the door.
She got down from the bed and ran to the window, she opened it and looked down.
She can't jump down from here else she'd die. She looked back at the door which was about to be broken.
She took her knife and pepper spray and went under her bed.
The door broke open and a figure walked in scanning the room with his eyes.
He walked in and opened the two closets. He went to the restroom and came out looking around the room once more.
He looked at the beds and smirked taking out a knife from his pocket. He began stabbing Ashley bed.
Her eyes widened as fear gripped her. He left Ashley bed and walked to hers.
He was about to stab hers when someone hit him on the head. The guy lost consciousness falling on the bed.
Ariel got out and blinked when she saw Conrad.
"Do you want to keep staring or you want to leave?" He asked and she left where she was standing going to meet him.
His gaze went to her exposed thigh before looking elsewhere.
"Let's go" He said and held her hand pulling her with him as they ran out of the room.
The guy woke up with a throbbing head and came out of the room. He sighted them heading downstairs and he ran after them.
Logan who was just entering the hostel saw them and he stopped staring at them. Conrad noticed the guy coming and he stopped running.
"Why did you stop?" She asked.
"Logan, take her away, I'll stall him." Conrad said to Logan and he nodded.
"Take care of y...."
"Take her away" Conrad cut her short and she stared at him for a while before running towards Logan.
He held her hand and pulled her with him heading to the garden.
Conrad stared at the masked guy in front of him and let out a small smirk.
"You keep interfering" He said.
"I'll give you the opportunity to leave this place and never come after her again" Conrad said and the guy laughed.
"And why should I listen to you?" He asked.
"So you won't get hurt" Conrad replied.
"Just get out of the way, I don't want to hurt you" He said and Conrad smirked.
The guy tried walking past him only to be punched on the jaw by Conrad.
He fell to the ground with a bleeding mouth and he tried standing but Conrad stepped on his back making his body hit the ground hard.
He removed his leg from him and squatted twisting his hands behind him. He held his twisted hand with a hand and lowered his face to his level.
"Stay away from her" He said and the guy tried breaking out of his grip but he couldn't.
Conrad was just too strong.
"This is your last warning" Conrad said and punched his face hard making him loose consciousness.
He stood and walked out of the hostel heading to the principal's office. The man was about leaving when Conrad entered.
"There's a masked man in the hostel. He wanted to kill a student. Get him arrested" Conrad said and the man nodded repeatedly.
Conrad turned and left the office.

They got far from the hostel and Ariel stopped running to catch her breath.
"Are you okay?" Logan asked.
"Yes. I hope Conrad is okay" She said looking at the hostel.
She saw police cars driving into the school and headed to the hostel.
"He called the cops" Logan muttered.
Ariel ran back to the hostel and Logan followed suite. They stopped, staring at what was happening from a distance.
The masked guy was actually Andy and he was put in the police car. The police man ignited the engine before driving off.
Ariel stared into space thinking about the girls.
Because of guys they want to kill her.
Because she answered a question in class, they want her dead.
Because she talked back to them, they want to end her.
She folded her fists tightly as she faced Logan.
"Take me to the movie theatre" She said and he nodded.
He went to his car and she followed suite. They got into the car and he ignited the engine driving off.
In not less than 20 minutes, they arrived at the movie theatre. She got down from the car angrily and rushed in. She saw Andrea standing on the stage talking to the people.
"The movie is going to be about....."
"Andrea!!!" Ariel yelled and everyone turned their attention towards her.
Andrea turned to her with a slight smirk.
Ariel walked to the stage and stood in front of her. She rose her hand up and slapped Andrea hard.
The people gasped as Ariel stepped back a bit.
Andrea turned her face back to Ariel and touched the side of her lip which had a little blood.
She frowned hard and her sisters stood up coming to the stage.
"Damn Ariel" Ashley said with a huge smile on her face.
