TRIGGER WARNING!668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡasF4RImJ6T
This issue contained an attempted rape scene.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjXDGt3TIGK
Her eyes widened and her mouth twisted as I told her what happened when I stepped inside the faerie ring and how I met the lady in red, who took me to a palace and dressed me and Carter in luxurious clothing and introduced me to Nick, who wanted to marry me and burned the whole place down when I rejected him. "Then what happened?" she asked, biting her nails.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSPuMyaCcg
"He tried to stop me from leaving," I continued my story. "But then Carter swoops in and rescued me. If weren't for him. I would've been trapped with Nick forever."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdi3Fmw70ht
Aunt Inara smiled at Carter. "That was brave of you to save your sister, and I'm proud of you."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKdmyIr0lN
Carter grinned and hugged her, before running into his room. "So Bugsy," she uttered. "Judging by what you've told me, it looks like you'll be wearing an amulet."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBIvHYMJX7
I burst into laughter, to her dismay. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXBLotggi5
"What's so funny, Meredith?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUwv9Ewb0T
My smile faded as she glared at me, making me freeze at my seat. "Sorry, auntie," I muttered. "But does an amulet work?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8aaZAvQU3C
She got up from her seat and entered the room, scrounging. I stared at the clock and tapped my fingers on the table when she came out of the room, carrying a small, square box. "What's in there?" I raised my eyebrows, staring at the box. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡizdP2schET
"I need you to think what just said earlier, Bugsy."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBtgIFObAl
I blinked as I lifted the lid of the box, revealing a silver, cross necklace, laying inside. I took it out and rested my hand on my cheek, staring at the jewellery. "You're saying this thing will protect me from the faerie?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrni247ue5H
She nodded. "Silver would ward them away."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGjDF4Asop
"What about Carter? Nick might take him away as leverage against me."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQeQF8IsDyF
"We'll sprinkle salt around the house, so don't worry about it, okay?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZA8FdE8JU
I thanked my aunt as I got up from the dinner table and grabbed my bag, heading out from the front door. As I ambled on the field, my skin began to tingle as my heart palpitated. I turned around to check who's behind me, only to find myself on an empty field. I sighed as I continued my steps, my heart still beating faster than usual. I turned around again and saw nothing, leaving me frustrated. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfSb0Gr839j
As I continued to walk, a heard the leaves crunching me from behind, causing me to check over my shoulders alarmingly. Still, there was nothing there. Without looking back, I ran along the field, hoping to lose whatever that was following me. Arriving at my classroom, I dropped my bag down on my chair and sat down, panting. Ferdinand puts his hand over his ears as I took out my handkerchief and wiped my forehead, drenched with sweat.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ukmYmSqXQ
"Hey Bugsy," he looked at me, one of his eyebrows raised. "Are you alright?" 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQHGbL5sr9
Before I could open my mouth, Ms Vasquez, who was our sex ed teacher. entered the classroom, wearing her red pencil skirt and mesh black shirt. "Good morning, class," she chirped. "How are you all feeling today?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUojC5d8I67
"Alright, Ms Vasquez," Archie replied, his arms crossed behind his head.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoUEVLxmxK
"That's good to hear, Archie," she grinned "What about you, Bugsy?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBGWOoCxUpy
I shrugged. "I'm fine, thank you, Ms Vasquez."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOmoSktfibm
"Glad to see you fine, Bugsy," she gleamed. "Now class, today we'll be discussing the sexually transmitted disease. Now, who can tell me what is a sexually transmitted disease?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CUK3o4ABH
Amra raised her hand. "It's a disease that can be passed down from having unprotected sex with someone."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZFZcIDwGi
"And what do you mean by unprotected sex, Amra?" Ms Vasquez raised a question. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡki6UOeaSON
"Basically, you're having sex with someone without any sort of protection," she explained. "The most common type of protection for sex is a condom. Without that, we're vulnerable against STD."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTO7d4KeMw
"A solid explanation, Amra," praised Ms Vasquez, then staring at me. "Bugsy," she called me. "Do you know any types of STD?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRLWIRFof5
I sighed as I stood up from my seat. Why does she always have to pick me? "I know HIV is one of it."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxJKjQD8CvM
"Can you explain it for the rest of the class?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs63nF0lqLC
"It's a virus that damages the immune system," I told. "Usually, the immune system helps the body to fight off diseases. In this case, untreated HIV will kill off the immune cell, which makes you more vulnerable towards infections and cancers."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbe39DXsDt
Archie raised his hand. "Will we get AIDS if we don't get HIV treated?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIce6iq4MT
"Yes," I nodded. "And unfortunately, there's no cure for AIDS yet."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3NIXipsaH
"That is correct, Bugsy. As you can see-"
As I sat back down, my neck begins to stiffened and a tingling sensation spread all over my skin. I gazed at the classroom window and saw Nick standing across the school building, gawking at me. My lips and throat felt dry as he stood still for a few seconds, making my hands shake. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOjhASB5Wf
Then, I gasped as I felt a lightweight on my shoulder. I turned to my right and my eyes met with Ferdinand, with his eyebrows drooped. "You alright?" 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡroiMA14D2S
"I'm alright," I sighed in relief. "Really, I am."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTFNpmzoSw
"You don't seem yourself," Naomi commented. shaking her head. "Do you want to talk about it?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu1auip0Azw
I took a glimpsed of the window, and notice that he was gone. I shifted my focus on my friends, dragging them along with me. "We should talk outside." 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliFe5LIaMe
All three of us walked out of the classroom and headed towards the field, and gathered ourselves in circles, cross-legged. I looked behind and saw nothing, to my comfort. "Alright Bugsy," Ferdinand threw his hands in the air. "What's been bugging you?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlQDAsHGvYK
Naomi let out a giggle, making him rolled his eyes. "Someone's following me," my lips quivered. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTyjr4J65B
She gasped loudly, covering her mouth. "Oh my God, who?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7z3sf8bLn1
"A faerie prince is after me," I whispered. "That's why I'm wearing a silver necklace."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XAQ3bWe8r
"How does he look like?" 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR7CHfP2vsv
"Red hair, green eyes and pale skin. He looks handsome on the outside, but he's a monster in the inside."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyArfZ3a8O9
"Why is he after you?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLDoMHyur4
"He wants to marry me and make me his bride, which I don't want to in the first place."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUzvQapHjjK
Ferdinand let out a violent cough in disbelief. "You're kidding, right?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobpthoB7rw
I shook my head. He wrapped his arms around my shoulder as I leaned my head on his chest, hearing his gentle heartbeat. "It's alright, Bugsy," he reassured. "We're here for you."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkW1eSMETNH
I wrapped my arms around him, hoping to calm myself down from the madness.
As the final bell of the day rang, Ferdinand, Naomi, and I walked out of the school compound and strolled alongside the grassland, heading towards the beach. Taking off my shoes, my feet touched the silky, cream-coloured sand as I hugged my knees and watched the waves of the ocean splashing against the rock. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFXTu9HZik
Stripping off his shirt, Ferdinand jumped inside the salty water, who was then joined by Naomi. She gazed at me, waving. "Come join us," persuaded Naomi, her bobbed hair soaked with seawater. I tilted my head upwards and pressed my lips together as I gazed at my best friend, before taking off my white top and burgundy skirt and fold my clothes. Untangling my chain around my neck, I let myself soaked underwater with my singlet and shorts when I felt a tug behind my leg.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD1nlJngBx
I contorted my body and caught Ferdinand, with a smirk on his face. Gleefully, we both started chasing each other like giddy little boys and girls, with Naomi joining both of us. As his head sprung out of the water, I jumped onto his shoulder, making him scream. "Really, Bugsy?" he yelled. "Is that your new tactic?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfnxS6jP8B
"Yup," I snorted. "God, you should've seen the look on your face."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CbzZixChT
Ferdinand chuckled as I dived into the water and swam to the shore, grabbing my bottle, with a picture of a white rabbit. Chugging down the whole bottle, I screwed the lid tightly and stretched myself, gazing at my friends. I waved at Naomi as I was about to run towards them, only to be forcefully grabbed from behind.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPN1I5Kqoy
I shrieked in terror as Nick dragged me behind the rock spires, tugging me against the walls of the rock. "Let me go, you stupid-"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSF2k4mv68G
His lips pressed on mine and smiled, making me clenched my fist and gave him a huge blow on his cheeks. "You fucking monster," I spat a saliva at his face. "How dare you kissed me?"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ejrN4QmJ5
Nick cackled manically and glared straight in the eyes, leaning closer to me. "Because you're beautiful, Meredith."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YXIkroGPf
I attempted to fling my hands at his face, only to be grabbed by his strong grip. "How feisty of you," mocked Nick, as he kissed me on the lips again. With all my effort, I pushed him away from me and tried to run but he clutched my waist and lay me down on the ground, restraining both my arms. "What are you doing?" my voice shook, tears streaming down on both cheeks.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1n4eYWcz
"Making love with you, Bugsy," he winked. My teeth chattered as he pressed his body against mine and pushed his lips on mine when out of the blue, Naomi wrestled Nick on the ground, punching his face with my necklace in her fist.668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUksEZpdade
"Hands off my best friend, you bitch!" she exclaimed, leaving blood on his face. Nick hissed in pain as he got up, with half of his face burnt. "You'll regret this," he guffawed, wiping his lips. "You'll see."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8h7ZCy815v
Right in front of our eyes, he disappeared into thin air. "Bugsy, Bugsy," shouted Ferdinand. I stood up and ran towards him and embracing each other in a hug. 668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡupp8qMjL2N
"Oh Ferdinand," I sobbed. "I'm so sorry."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpW1ehLzYWS
Ferdinand shook his head. "You didn't do anything wrong, Bugsy."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX6GlYcsbqX
"But I let him kissed me," I covered my face. "I could have-"668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhF4F07Ecu0
"Bugsy," Naomi placed her hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault."668Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1h0gPY9UT
He gave a light peck on my forehead as he cupped my face in his hands, wiping my tears. "You should head back home and tell your aunt about this."
I nodded as I got up, clinging my arms around his shoulders.
