Chapter 7

First victim

"Nicky's dead."

"W-what?!"

H-how?

I can't believe what I've heard from boss. We're currently in the convenient store because we're on duty. I was stunned of the news.

My mouth totally shut.

How's that even possible? We were just hanging out together last night and. . . I can't believe this is happening!

I tightly close my eyes and mess my hair. "F*ck this!" I cuss.

Later on, I saw boss coming with a worried expression in his face. He handed me a letter.

'If you want to know everything, go to STFU university later at eight in the evening, sharp. '

That's the content of the letter. I look at Haile and I saw on how serious she is. She seems like if you'll gonna touch her she'll going to kill you.

__

Later that night, we headed back to the university, it's very quiet. We enter inside the school and close the gate. I was wondering why there's no guard.

Sh*t!

I suddenly felt scared.

I compose myself and follow Haile. I was also cautious with my steps. She suddenly stop so I also stop from my trace. "What?" I whisper.

She pointed the open room and it was ours. So far as I remembered, our room was locked before we head out-

My brows knitted.

"Babe, stop it. . ." I almost out balance when I saw Raven and Tasha. . . making out. Wtf?

I sign of the cross and look away.

'Lord, forgive my innocent soul-'

"Tsk!" Haile hissed and drag me with her. She also covered my eyes. God, my virgin eyes!

Later when we reach farther, she pinned me on the wall. We're catching our breath because we almost run through there. D*mn!

When I look at her, I suddenly feel my heart beats. . . weird? W-what the hell is that?!

I look away that instant.

No, that is bad. That's not it-she's my cousin for f*cking sake!

"Hello boss? Yes, it's already settled. I'll already clean the mess, don't worry," we look at each other. She gesture to shut up so I did. But definitely not, I guess.

"Yes boss, I'm sure those two will gonna come." A evil smirk appear on his face.

When the man look at our direction, I almost lost my balance, I accidentally step backwards and it create noise. The man looks at our direction suspiciously.

"Meow!"

I tightly close my eyes and pray that our soul will gonna saved. The man wasn't even convinced with my stupidity. We're dead!

"I'll gonna call you later boss." Then he hang up the call. The man disappeared, so my breath is back to normal.

I guess he already leaves-

"As what I expected, you both here." A man in the dark spoke. He wears a hoodie so I didn't see his face clearly. But, even though he's wearing to cover his face, I can still recognize somehow his voice.

"Clark," said by Haile. My eyes winded. W-what? That was Ashley's best friend, right? Then, what the h*ll is this!

Clark just smile evilly. He step forward and said, " I'm really correct with my intuition, you are the leader." Then he look at me.

"And you bring a clumsy id*ot with you huh!" He laugh. "You bring a trash with you, a useless trash. He will not gonna help you if ever. "

This bast*rd!

Because of so much irritation, I spit my saliva to him, on his filfty face. You stup*d potato! Common, fight me!

"You thick face bastard! Do you think you can scare me-" I was about to attack him when I feel something on my neck.

It's too late for me to realize that there's someone on my back. He also smile at me evilly and shows the syringe. I feel like drowsy and sleepy. No!

When I look at Haile, she's also been drugged by Clark.

'Haile!'

I said before I passed out.

_

"Carl. . . "

"Carl. . ."

I slowly open my eyes and a white room welcomed me. Wait, where am I?

Don't tell me I'm already dead?!

No, no, no!

"Carl,"

"N-nicky?!" I gasped.

Nicky is dead, Carl. It's not her-it's not her! It is really her!

I mentally cried. Spare my life please! I'm tired of those ghost-ahhh!

"You're dead, right?" A sad smile appear on her lips. She look away and said. "Yes, I'm already dead."

I swallowed hard.

She look at me seriously. "You need to save Haile, Carl."

Yeah, right! But first, where on h*ll am I?

"Haile's wasn't in the university anymore," she said, I look at her with confusion. How did she know that-

"Common! I'm a ghost remember? Such a stupid as always!" I make face. She's just died and turns into ghost and she's this harsh on me? Why so mean Nicky?

I saw how she roll her eyes. "I followed them yesterday after they drugged you both. Clark bring Haile at a abandoned building in the west side. So, you need to move your f*cking ass now or I will gonna haunt you for the rest of your life." She said in a warning tone. I gulp and look away. I know that she's my friend, but h*ll! She effing creepy!

"Y-yes, I'll gonna save her okay? You don't need to scare me and look at me like that!" I said as I move a little.

She smiled.

"It's good to hear, Carl. Because I can't forgive myself if something bad happens to her." She said, almost crying.

"She's been a good friend to me. I know that there are times that she's mean but I love that b*tch," she look at me and continue. "She's kind and generous Carl. She's a good friend. So please, wake up now. You need to save her Carl, Haile need your help."

-

When I was awake I found myself in a classroom. My feet and hands are tied and also my mouth.

Haile!

The memories of my dreams lingered in my mind. I tried to move but I can't. The ties are too tight.

A loud bang startled me. I gulp hard and roam my eyes. How can I escape in this kind of situation?! F*ck this f*cking life!

"Pst," I glace at the teachers table near me. W-wait? T-theres a girl? How she manage to hide in this place without being tied?

She gestures to keep quiet so I shut my mouth.

I heard a loud footsteps so I pretend to be asleep.

"Dude, what we will gonna do? That id*ot still asleep, maybe you put too much drug in the syringe." Said by an man with red hair, one of Clark's men.

The man with him was just silent.

"We'll just leave him, maybe later he will gonna wake up." Then they leave the classroom. I slowly open my eyes and make sure that the two was no longer inside the room.

I glance at the girl.

She slowly crowl near me and let me escape. She handled me a knife and my eyes went wide looking at her.

"Hey, use this to escape. Move now!"

I think my body was being stoned by few seconds while looking at the knife she give me. She said that this knife in my hand was taken at the teachers table, in the drawer.

I want to escape with her but she said she can't because she doesn't want to leave her sister here.

I was hesitant but I just nod. I understand her situation, she can't leave without her sister.

As I headed out to escape, I did make sure that she'll never regret on helping me. I smile sadly and mumbled. "Sorry."

You will not regret on helping me. I'll gonna save my cousin.

Haile's P.O.V

Darkness.

I didn't see anything but dark. I heard some faint noises but I can't clearly see anything. I also feel that I'm tied.

Wait, where's Carl?

Even if I tried to escape from the rope I can't still freed myself, it's too tight. D*mn!

I need to save Carl!

I heard a footsteps towards me so I stop from moving.

"Ah, you're awake now?" An old man spoke. And oh! It's him all this time?

I gather all of my composure and confidence.

I laugh at him. "So it's you, hmm?" I mimick his voice.

I feel his hands on my jaw as he hold it with force. "Don't test my patience you b*tch!"

I laugh even more and spit on him. I saw how angry he was. Ow! Poor old hag!

You're already angry huh?

I heard another voice from nowhere.

"Dad! Release her!" An unknown voice shout. I smile devilishly as he let my jaw harshly.

"You're lucky bit-"

"Shut up, dad!" Shout by no one.

"What the hell! Your tone, young man!" I was amused by hearing their argument.

Later on I feel that someone take off my blindfold and I can now clearly saw thier faces.

Gavin.

"So, it's you also?" I said after I realize a thing. Well, he's that obsessed moth*rf*cker. I just can't believe.

Please, note the sarcasm. Tch!

He smiled at me pervertly and hold my face. My expression suddenly change and he noticed it. No one ever allowed to touch me except for Carl. This st*pid b*stard!

"What wrong, hmm?" He said in concern voice. I want to puke because of his cringyness. It sounds so f*cking weird! Godd*mn! His hands are still on my face!

I shut my eyes tightly and I let a harsh sigh.

"Get off." I said, bit impatient.

He caresses my face even more that makes me more angrier. He lower down his face and caress the side of my eye. Down to my nose and to lips.

I almost kill him with my stares as he touch my lips.

"Get off." I said with a danger in my voice.

He smirks even more.

"Fiesty, I like it." Then he lick his lower lip. Lol, he's so gross while doing it! Ew!

"Imong nawng pisti!" I said. [You're face look like shit!]

His brows knitted with confusion. "What did you say? I don't understand it,"

*BANG*

"Shit!"
