Chapter 10

She immediately took to her heels running away from him.
She bit her lips when she felt a pain under her leg. She looked down at her legs and surprisingly, she isn't wearing shoes.
Heavy panting could be heard as she ran through the woods barefooted. Prickles pierced into her legs and blood began oozing out of the wound but that didn't stop her from running.
No matter what, she must get away from him.
Not even him. It!!!
She looked back and saw it coming. It was walking slowly and it's eyes shone a bright shade of red. It had a smirk on it's face and she gasped looking forward. She increased her pace running insanely. She saw a hunter and she ran to him immediately.
She asked for help and he turned to the creature. He raised his axe and began running towards him. The monster smirked raising his hand. He snapped his fingers and the man's head fell off followed by his arms and legs. Blood came out from all those parts of his body and Ariel screamed.
She continued her run and she sighted a cave. She diverted to another route running into the cave. She put the rocks she found on the ground to cover the entrance of the cave.
She breathe out and then she froze. She felt a cold aura behind her and she turned slowly. She screamed loudly when she saw him and she fell on her butt. Shock was written all over her face as she wondered.
How did he get in?
"You think you can hide little girl?" His cold voice said and she peed in her pants immediately.

She gasped getting up from the bed.
"What the fúck was that?" She asked.
She stood up and walked to the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator and got a can of milk. She brought out a glass which she poured the milk into before gulping it down.
"Who's that?" She asked herself and sighed returning the can before rinsing the glass and keeping it back.
She went back to her bed and laid down. She brought out her phone and got her airpod. She placed it in her ear and when it connected to her phone, she went to boomplay.
She clicked on 'Set fire to rain' and the song began playing.
She closed her eyes drifting off to sleep with the music still playing.

"The audacity of that low life to slap me. Who does she think she is?" Andrea asked angrily.
"Frrss? She's growing wings, we have to cut em" Alicia said and sighed
"What do you want us to do?" She asked.
"We have to seriously make her pay for this. No one is allowed to slap me and go scott free" Andrea said settling down on her bed.
"Alright so what do we intend on doing?" Alexa asked.
Andrea came closer and told them the plan..
"We'll start the first thing tomorrow. Tomorrow will be a very amazing day. Can't wait to see some tears" Andrea said.
"Me too" Alexa and Alicia said at the same time before laughing.
THE NEXT MORNING ★» MAXWELL UNIVERSITY »★ HALLWAY »★
Ariel rested her head on her locker closing her eyes tiredly.
Logan who saw her smiled and walked to her.
"Boo!" He said and she stood straight folding her palms into a fist.
"What's your deal with scaring me?" She asked dropping down her fists.
"Nothing actually, just wanted to say hi"
"As always" She mumbled and opened her locker.
"You look exhausted, why?" He asked and she sighed looking up at the ceiling.
"I couldn't sleep well" She mumbled and looked at him.
"Why?" He asked and she remembered her dream.
"The pillow and bed were uncomfortable." She lied.
"Ohh I get. You'd get used to it don't worry." He said and she smiled.
"Definitely" She replied and the bell rang.
Immediately it did, the three girls passed. Andrea's gaze landed on Ariel but she looked away. Alicia also stared at Ariel and she let out a small smirk.
Alexa sent a glare Ariel's way before chuckling darkly. They walked past her going into chemistry class since that's what they're having now.
Ariel rolled her eyes and carried her books and text book before closing the locker.
"Ariel" Ashley called running towards her. She stopped and placed her hand on her knee to catch her breath.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" Ashley asked.
"You were deep in sleep, I tried waking you 3 times but you didn't get up so I'm not at fault. You're a deep sleeper, that's just the issue" Ariel said.
"You would have still tried" Ashley said with an eye roll and Ariel chuckled.
"Next time I will. Are you happy now?" Ariel said and asked.
Her eyes met with Conrad who wanted to enter the class and she blinked. He took his eyes away from her going into the class.
"Yes. Now let's head to class" She said and looked at Logan.
"Let's go" She said.
"Alright then" He said and they all walked to the class.
~~
They settled down on their chairs and Logan looked at Ariel.
He let out a small smile staring at her.
"Why are you staring at her?" Conrad asked and Logan looked at him.
"That should be my business shouldn't it?" He asked instead.
"Why are you staring at her?" Conrad asked again and Logan scoffed facing the teacher who just entered.
Conrad took his gaze away from Logan and stared at Ariel.
She looked at him and blinked again. He faced front and saw Logan looking at him.
"Why are you staring at her?" Logan asked and Conrad smirked.
"That should be my business shouldn't it?" He asked instead.
Logan smiled.
"I like ya. We should be friends"
"Hell no" Conrad said facing front.
~~
"I'm so tired" Ariel mumbled resting her head on the desk closing her eyes slowly.
"Me too" Ashley said resting her head on the table as well closing her eyes.
The teacher sighted them and walked to them hitting her hands on both their tables.
They got startled and they looked up at her.
"You both should tell me the last thing I said" She said and Ashley itched her head.
Ariel whispered something into Ashley's ears and her eyes widened.
"Ready?" Ariel asked with a smile.
"Yes" Ashley replied.
"You said if you mix iron 2 oxide with sodium hydroxide, the colour would be dark green. It'd look like the colour of a spirogyra" They said at the same time and the eyes of the students widened.
"Are we correct?" Ariel asked looking up at the teacher.
"Y...yes. Good job" She said stuttering a bit and walked back to the board.
"How did you hear that? You were literally dozing off" Ashley asked.
"Ion know. I just heard her say it while sleeping" She said and turned to Logan who was staring at her.
She raised a brow and he faced forward immediately. Her gaze travelled to Conrad who was staring out of the window.
She faced the teacher immediately but she still felt eyes on hers.
She sighed and began jotting down some things she heard the teacher say.
Andrea's gaze travelled to her and a sly smirk displayed on her face.
~~
They were at the chemistry laboratory trying to do what the teacher was explaining.
Andrea secretly left the group and walked to a chemical. After taking a picture of it, she searched what it could do.
She smirked staring at the strong acid in front of her. She walked slowly to Ariel and made her face her.
She poured the chemical on her but she was quick to dodge. Not that quick cos it touched her palm.
"Ouch!!" She winced holding her palm which began peeling and bleeding.
Conrad saw what happened and rushed to her carrying her up in a bridal style. Tears were escaping her eyes as the pain struck her hard.
"Don't you cry" Conrad said and Ariel sniffed ignoring him.
He took her to the infirmary and the nurse started treating her hand.
Conrad left the ward and went back to the laboratory. He saw Andrea laughing with her sisters and his gaze stopped on Andrea who was laughing happily.
He saw the acid she used and carried it walking to her.
"Look out" Before Andrea could dodge the acid, it touched her right arm and her loud scream echoed in the room.
"What the fuck is your problem?!!" Alexa yelled.
"Stay away from Ariel from now henceforth" He said and left the laboratory going back to meet Ariel.
The wound on her hand was already bandaged and she was sitting on the bed staring at her palm.
Andrea was also being rushed to the infirmary but Conrad was quick to lock the door.
"Open the door!!" Alexa screamed.
Conrad didn't even answer them, his gaze was on Ariel who was staring at him now.
His blue eyes reflected something unknown and she blinked.
"Please open the door" Ariel pleaded.
"No"
"Please. She'd bleed to death if you don't let them in" She said and Conrad just stared at her for a while before going to open the door.
Andrea was rushed into the room and the nurse started treating her immediately.
"Let's go" Conrad said and held Ariel's hand pulling her with him out of the room.
"Thanks again."
"It's another thing you're going to pay me back." He said and Ariel looked up at him.
"Which is...?"
