Chapter 14 - Who's the shadow?

Chapter 14

★»★»★

The light came back on and their eyes widened seeing all of them on the floor groaning in pain.

The AAA's eyes widened as they exchanged glances.

"What just happened?" Ariel asked looking at Ashley.

"I have no idea" Ashley replied.

Ariel faced front and she looked at the person she was holding.

"Lemme take you to the infirmary" Ariel told Conrad and he shook his head.

"I want you to treat me yourself." He said and she blinked.

"Ohh alright" Ariel said and let go of him walking back to her room. Conrad followed suite.

Logan stared at the people on the ground and a smirk left his lips.

He left the cafeteria.

Ashley finished her food before going to drop her tray. She stared at Andrea and she picked a bread from the table and threw it at her.

The bread hit her arm and she looked at Ashley.

"The heck?!" Andrea yelled.

Ashley gave her the middle finger before leaving the cafeteria.

★» ARIEL'S ROOM »★

"Open" Ariel mumbled and the door opened. She walked in and Conrad walked in as well.

"Close" She mumbled while going to her closet. The door closed and she brought out the first aid kit from the closet.

"Sit" She told him and he sat on the ground before backing her.

She squatted and carefully pulled out the forks and knives.

He took off his shirt and she gasped staring at his bleeding back.

"You shouldn't have taken the hit for me" She muttered and brought out a cotton wool and a methylated spirit. She picked a scissor from the box and picked the cotton wool then placed it into the spirit.

She brought it out and started cleaning the wound slowly.

"Does it hurt?" She asked buh he kept shut.

She bit her lips and kept cleaning it. The wool was filled with blood so she thrashed it and did the same with another cotton wool. She bandaged the wounds when she was done treating the wounds.

"All done" She muttered and arranged the things in the kit before standing up to go keep it back in the closet.

She turned and gasped when she saw him standing already and he was facing her.

She blinked when she saw his abs and biceps. His muscles twitched and her gaze went to his face. She blinked again when her eyes met with his cold blue eyes.

"Why do you blink every time you hold eye contact with me?" He asked stepping forward.

"Ion know" She mumbled and turned her gaze away from him.

"It's cute tho, don't stop" He said and she looked at him.

He was already putting on his shirt. He stared at her for a while before walking to the door.

"Open" She said and the door opened.

He smirked and stepped out of the room.

She released the breath she didn't know she was holding..

Ashley walked into the room and she gave Ariel a knowing smile.

"What?" Ariel asked looking elsewhere.

"You saw him shirtless didn't you?" Ashley asked and Ariel chuckled.

"Yes I did. His abs are cool" She said.

"Close" Ashley said and the door closed.

Ashley held her hand and pulled her towards her bed. They both sat down on the bed and Ashley stared at her.

"What he said about killing those who hurt what's his, what do you think he meant?" Ashley asked.

"Ion really know" Ariel said.

"Buh then how did he know those objects were coming towards you?" Ashley asked.

"I also don't know. It's like he sensed it or something" Ariel said.

"I find that guy weird Ariel. He and Logan" Ashley said.

"Why?"

"Can't explain. Buh then you said you always feel a shadow around you right?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah why?"

"What if it's one of them" Ashley said and Ariel laughed.

"It can't be. The shadow is a monster cos I once saw him in my dream" She said and Ashley raised a brow.

"You're being serious?"

"Yes. It's so scary and I don't think it's one of them" Ariel said.

"Ohh, then it might not be them" Ashley said.

Ariel was about to speak when her phone rang.

"Damn I forgot to call her" Ariel mumbled before swiping green.

~ "Hey mummy"

~ "Oh please don't sweet talk me. You haven't called for a day now, what happened?"

~ "I've been busy mum. I'm sorry"

~ "Too busy for your mummy?" She asked with a pout and Ariel laughed.

Even though Ariel couldn't see it, she knew she was pouting.

~ "I'm sorry"

~ "It's okay. I'm glad to hear that you're okay"

~ "Thanks"

~ "What about those girls, are they troubling you?"

~ "No they aren't."

~ "Serious?"

~ "Yes. They've stopped bothering me"

~ "That's good news then"

~ "Yes it is." Ariel mumbled and Ashley gave her a look which made Ariel chuckle slightly.

~ "We'd talk later tonight, I have to attend to something urgent alright?"

~ "Okay. Bye mummy"

~ "Bye sweetie"

Taylor said and cut the call.

"Why did you lie?" Ashley asked.

"You want me to leave the school?" Ariel asked instead.

"No!"

"So it's good I lied cos if I had told her I was still being bullied by them, I will be out of this school by tomorrow" Ariel said.

"Ohh I understand." Ashley said.

"I'd go take my bath now" Immediately Ashley said that, Ariel ran into the bathroom.

"Hey!! Ariel!!" She yelled running to bang on the closed door.

"You wouldn't have told me" Ariel said and laughed.

"Stop nahh, Ariel!!" Ashley yelled and Ariel laughed again.

~~

Ariel was putting on a black turtle neck fitted gown that stopped at her mid thigh. She put on a black boot and brushed her hair down.

Ashley was putting on a black cropped shirt and a green cargo pants with a pair of white Nike sneakers. Her hair was tied in a ponytail and she applied a little make up.

"We look gorgeous" Ashley said and Ariel smiled.

"Yes we do" Ariel said and faced Ashley.

"Never really had a friend cos none understood me buh you're different. Thankss" Ariel said and Ashley smiled.

"My pleasure" Ashley said and bowed making her laugh.

She stood straight and they hugged tightly.

"Thanks for choosing me over your mum's necklace" She said and Ariel chuckled.

"My pleasure" Ariel said and they broke the hug.

The bell rang and they smiled before going to the door. Ashley opened it and Ariel closed it before they went to get their books from their lockers.

Since it's physics 101 they were having, they got the book and left to class.

★» PHYSICS CLASS »★

Ariel was jotting down what the teacher would say when a paper flew to her table.

She took hold of the paper and threw it back at where it came from.

She glared at the girl at her right before focusing on the teacher.

She looked at the boy's table and she furrowed her gaze when she saw neither of them in the class.

"Do you have any idea where Logan and Conrad are?" Ariel whispered to Ashley.

"Nope. They didn't come to class today" Ashley muttered.

"I wonder why" Ariel said and looked back at their table.

The sound of shattering things was heard and everyone gasped.

Everyone came out of the class and they heard noises again.

★» PRINCIPAL OFFICE »★ 5 MINUTES AGO

"They were so happy, especially Ariel" He said to the figure sitting in front of him.

"That's very nice. I'm glad she's happy"

"Buh how were you able to get those doors and windows?" He asked.

"Some questions shouldn't be asked." The figure said and stood.

"Give me the key to the AAA's suite" He said and the principal sighed.

"Please don't hurt them" Mr Griffin said.

"I won't, their room is too pretty, I need to adjust it" He said with a grin and Mr Griffin sighed giving him the key.

"Don't worry, they won't harm you. I won't let that happen" The figure said and left the room.

He walked past the empty hall going to the suite. He opened the door with the key the principal gave him before walking in.

He saw the broken table on the ground and he smirked.

He carried a vase and smashed it. He broke a mirror, smashed a table, destroyed a chair.

He snapped his fingers and the whole suite got destroyed immediately.

~~

"It's coming from AAA's suite" The teacher said.

"Our suite?" The girls said at the same time before running out of the class.

They got to the door and tried opening it buh they couldn't.

"Whoever is in there should come out!!!" Andrea yelled banging the door hard.

A loud sound was heard again and Alicia brought out the key trying to open the door.

The figure smirked before disappearing.

She was finally able to open it and everyone gasped when they saw how the room was.

"No" Alexa mumbled and the three girls fainted at the same time.
