TRIGGER WARNING!607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8be6pPe1Yh
This issue contained an attempted rape scene.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQmZtjTXDS
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCis3gMDaZ
"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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPecUtGPJkD
Aunt Inara smiled at Carter. "That was brave of you to save your sister, and I'm proud of you."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLpcEpKyBs
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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbHagPu1wS
I burst into laughter, to her dismay. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiDag7svpd
"What's so funny, Meredith?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr04bmBjtqD
My smile faded as she glared at me, making me freeze at my seat. "Sorry, auntie," I muttered. "But does an amulet work?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqJFRZIs0F
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. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiq5KWJyII
"I need you to think what just said earlier, Bugsy."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa09bDWNH9M
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?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo13TbvKmUi
She nodded. "Silver would ward them away."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ufbA2oNz
"What about Carter? Nick might take him away as leverage against me."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2YDC2v5AM
"We'll sprinkle salt around the house, so don't worry about it, okay?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEHnKIovNH
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. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvsJkRRp9m
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqRZ7AEoQp
"Hey Bugsy," he looked at me, one of his eyebrows raised. "Are you alright?" 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUazOOGDzs
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?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjmuFPgPwe
"Alright, Ms Vasquez," Archie replied, his arms crossed behind his head.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWf3Ymsa2VK
"That's good to hear, Archie," she grinned "What about you, Bugsy?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL9JA13iM2j
I shrugged. "I'm fine, thank you, Ms Vasquez."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAHrKJ5O19
"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?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeQUARJZvra
Amra raised her hand. "It's a disease that can be passed down from having unprotected sex with someone."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkXZaV3sMu
"And what do you mean by unprotected sex, Amra?" Ms Vasquez raised a question. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLIqBPSQ1x
"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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBYn41FbB7n
"A solid explanation, Amra," praised Ms Vasquez, then staring at me. "Bugsy," she called me. "Do you know any types of STD?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1SN8SPU5iQ
I sighed as I stood up from my seat. Why does she always have to pick me? "I know HIV is one of it."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9PxULIIxd
"Can you explain it for the rest of the class?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlNaT66krX
"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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKXVDQeVnxT
Archie raised his hand. "Will we get AIDS if we don't get HIV treated?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHXTQ1BbJr
"Yes," I nodded. "And unfortunately, there's no cure for AIDS yet."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcuhE8LUd0
"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. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRfhc2YAJbC
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?" 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqJI56KtJK
"I'm alright," I sighed in relief. "Really, I am."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjSmYLcCVq
"You don't seem yourself," Naomi commented. shaking her head. "Do you want to talk about it?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxCh60pfqz
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." 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvSc6H2DURh
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?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJDbO6fl0SS
Naomi let out a giggle, making him rolled his eyes. "Someone's following me," my lips quivered. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLKjNokcuTJ
She gasped loudly, covering her mouth. "Oh my God, who?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWavumx03L
"A faerie prince is after me," I whispered. "That's why I'm wearing a silver necklace."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmEdqB0V2lU
"How does he look like?" 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxbS8RGx2TE
"Red hair, green eyes and pale skin. He looks handsome on the outside, but he's a monster in the inside."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmNelpwjEre
"Why is he after you?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3COIwp6MMj
"He wants to marry me and make me his bride, which I don't want to in the first place."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlyut1ABOM
Ferdinand let out a violent cough in disbelief. "You're kidding, right?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaVuLQwmSFs
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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvNoTQ4AWR
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. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROGRvTspBQ
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMj5djrZEJ
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?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBaAGp0q26
"Yup," I snorted. "God, you should've seen the look on your face."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLh5Kn8QkT
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeRA3whGLp
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-"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj66kVoJJP8
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?"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTx4EwUHbd
Nick cackled manically and glared straight in the eyes, leaning closer to me. "Because you're beautiful, Meredith."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYl9BSi35WT
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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoKAi0PVB4
"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.607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiuuRORLLK
"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."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCaxSiehy5y
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. 607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANOYyw60mC
"Oh Ferdinand," I sobbed. "I'm so sorry."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8iVmGIMQk
Ferdinand shook his head. "You didn't do anything wrong, Bugsy."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPAdV0KQxBQ
"But I let him kissed me," I covered my face. "I could have-"607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfNm9OUgUiL
"Bugsy," Naomi placed her hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault."607Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgRAi2pMVo
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.
