That Vampire Female Is Escape

After meeting Shane and seeing his drastic change in form, Jade daydreams more. Several times the teachers reprimanded her by asking questions but she always answered with 'sorry, I don't know.'"

"You've been daydreaming these days, Jade," said Kesha.

Jade immediately glanced at her and then she remembered something as she looked at Carla by Kesha's side. She then looked at Kesha and spoke to her, "Can I have a private talk with Carla?"

"Oh? Do you have a secret that only the two of you know?"

Jade had to nod so Kesha could give them some time. Finally, she left them and now Jade looked at Carla. "What's wrong, Jade?" Carla asked, sounding a little nervous.

"You don't usually stay quiet like this, Carla. Do you want to talk to me?" Jade asked.

Carla looked nervous. She even tapped her fingernails on the cafeteria table and it was the first time she had done it. Jade watched her seriously. She chose to put Shane aside for a while because it reminded her of the female vampire who had previously attacked Carla. A vampire named Sherly.

"What do you mean, Jade? I don't have anything to tell you."

"You're nervous and you're lying to me. So tell me," Jade said, increasingly suspicious.

The thing that makes her suspicious was that Sherly reveals secrets about Max to Carla. Because if not, of course, Carla didn't have to act like this.

Instead of answering, Carla packed her things and left the cafeteria table. Jade followed her until they came out of the cafeteria area. Then she held Carla's hand.

"Carla! You don't have to be afraid!" Jade finally had to say that to her.

Carla's eyes filled with tears and gave her a frightened expression. Jade then hugged her as she took her to a quiet place so she could hear clearly what Carla had to say.

"You ... you, are you also ... a vampire?" asked Carla sobbing.

It was true that Sherly had said something to her. Max finally emerged quickly from behind Carla. She was startled and almost backed away, but Jade held her back with a shake of her head.

"He's different, don't be afraid," Jade said.

Max joined her by Jade's side while Carla looked down, she didn't want to look at Max.

"Looks like Sherly managed to hypnotize her," Max whispered.

Jade didn't understand why Sherly had to hypnotize her. "What did she do to her to not want to see you?"

"She hypnotized her like I was a monster about to pounce on her."

Max immediately focused on Carla. He touched Carla's hand until she shuddered at the cold touch. Then he made Carla look at him and her eyes went straight to him.

"I'm just an ordinary vampire who will always be kind to you. You don't have to be afraid," Max said, hypnotizing him.

Carla nodded and then her eyes twinkled. She then smiled at Jade and turned to Max with a surprised look.

"So ... you've been dating a vampire all this time?" Carla asked Jade with a confused face.

Jade sighed. She, who was going to be serious, suddenly felt like laughing. She looked straight at Max and shook her head. "I was about to ask about Sherly!" Jade said.

"Ask her, she'll answer your questions," Max said.

Not sure if Carla wanted to answer it or forgot about the vampire named Sherly, but Jade asked her anyway. "So what did Sherly do to you, Carla?"

Carla's face immediately tensed when Sherly's name was spoken. She swallowed her saliva until Jade and Max could see it.

"She almost killed me and threatened me," she said in a low voice.

"What did she tell you? But you weren't hurt, were you?"

"I wasn't hurt. But I was scared. And she said you shouldn't be with Max. She wants you to stay away from Max, Jade."

***

Back at the house, Jade saw a collection of cars parked in her yard. The voices of old men laughing rang out from outside. Jade immediately went inside and saw them all.

"Hey Jade, just got home?" said one of Zack's friends to her.

"Yeah. I just got home." Jade just smiled and chose to go upstairs to her room. But she would also eavesdrop on their conversation. Because what she knows, if they get together like this, then there will be things they will talk about.

"We've been walking through the woods every day. There are traces of her but she can't be seen. We have to catch her and burn her, Zack!"

"Anyway, why did she escape? The cuffs are really strong and made of silver. Aren't they weak to silver?"

"Tonight, I'll check out the woods. You can follow me if you want," said Zack.

Even though just this morning she, Carla, and Max discussed Sherly, apparently that vampire escaped according to what Max had said last time.

Jade went straight to her room, locked the door, and closed the window. For some reason, she was suddenly afraid to remember Sherly's threat that she told Carla.

She paced back and forth in her room. Then there was a knock on her bedroom window which startled her. Luckily it was Max who knocked.

"Why did you close it?" Max asked.

Jade didn't want to tell him that she was scared. So she looked for another reason. "I just found out that my window is closed if you weren't coming. I think Zack came in and closed my window," he replied.

"Looks like he's worried that Sherly escaped," said Max.

"Yeah, I overheard their conversation. Did you meet her?" Jade asked.

"Not yet. She didn't meet me. But she did meet Mara," Max replied.

Mara and Sherly both don't like her and she understands why she's meeting Mara. It could be that she's getting her to work together to separate her from Max.

"What did she say to Mara?" Jade asked.

"She asked Mara to help us separate, Jade."

"And what was Mara's answer?"

Max smiled at her. "A surprise for you. Mara rejected her and she didn't want to help her. She intended to protect you from Sherly."
