Zedler wasted a complete ten good minutes stroking her scary gray cat before attending to them, looking at them with her strange eyes.
"Why don't we play a game? The person who wins will be happy. Very, very happy" Zedler said it so scarily that they all shivered in fear.
"Your opponent will use his imagination to create a creature and you must definitely get the name of the creature to send it back to the monster's world. We clear?"
The whole class remained silent.
Zedler stroked her gray cat very gently.
"I want Aries against Capricorn. Virgo, Leo and Gemini against each other. Start"
They all created weird creatures in their head. Weird creatures with no names making a fool of themselves.
Zedler watched silently in amusement.
She definitely knows what she was doing. She was playing them all.
Her cat snickered.
"Well, I'm surprised no one can even guess the creatures correctly"
"Probably because we do not know what each other has in mind. This is so unbelievable" Shelly said
"Is it? How many creature do you know exactly? How many rare creature do you know? Do you know any more creatures other than snakes, medusas, spiders, scorpions et cetera ? You know nothing. Why don't you learn more creatures before the next class and we'll move on with your lessons? Dismissed"
"Well, that was fun" Shelly said when they got out. "She's so evil"
"Not even close" Fina said
Fina turned to them.
"Potion class. Now"
They turned a corner which leads to potion class and halted at once when they saw Bryce and Bridget laughing at some jokes they were telling each other.
Fina's heart skipped in jealousy but she kept it down.
Bryce was sooo off limits.
"You like him"
Fina turned to see a imp beside her.
She glared at the imp who just smirked at her.
"Love in the air" The imp sang.
"CMANTUSIMPUSDUVIUS" Fina said
The imp eyes widened and he disappeared into thin air.
"Good one, Clark" Shelly said
Bridget whispered something in Bryce ear and he shook his head.
"Come on" Fina said
They sneaked past corridors until they were standing in front of potion class doors.
They all made the security tests and walked into the class only to find Mrs Knight mixing potions.
They all froze like a deer in headlights.
"Oh. What are you doing here? You don't have class"
"About that. We… um" Shelly stuttered.
A bogle suddenly appeared in front of Mrs Knight and she screamed, running past them, out of the door.
Fina and Shelly both turned to Zo who just shrugged.
"I didn't know you had it in you, Alvarez" Shelly said with a smirk.
"Shut up, Jefferson" Zo said
Fina moved to the cauldron and tossed the blue vial into it.
A flash of red appeared.
"Have you done this before?" Shelly asked
"No"
An unknown smell drifted from the pot into the room.
The smell made them nauseous and light headed and they all stepped away from the pot.
"What is that?" Fina slurred
Shelly Jefferson coughed and coughed while Zo struggled to breathe.
The room tilted in their eyes as they tried to grasp on reality. Their eyes watered.
Fina moved to the edge of the cauldron and casted a spell on it for it to stop.
Everything stopped moving and they all fell to the floor.
"That is one poisonous vial" Shelly said breathlessly.
"Was it used on Xiana?" Zo asked wheezy.
"Whatever it is, it must have been made by someone" Fina said and cleared her throat.
"Someone who?" Shelly asked
Fina walked to the cauldron and leaned on it, trying to get a closer look of what lays inside.
"Hey"
Shelly and Zo rushed to her side.
"What's that?" Shelly asked
In the pot was an extremely pink flower, from tip to bottom. A flower which looked like an Ivy.
"I think I've seen one of those before" Zo said
"Looks like a Milda" Fina said
"Aha! A milda. I used to hear my mother talk about how effective their poisons are. It mustn't be inhaled for a minute. What does Milda means?" Zo asked
"Milda in another language means death" Shelly said
"Or destruction. It's air borne" Fina said
"Milda can wake anything. It kills and cure at the same time but it's known for its poison more" Zo said
"How about we use it on Berry?" Fina asked
They all froze when the door creaked.
Fina pushed the girls under the laboratory table to hide.
"Do you know what that means? It means someone else is going to die. That Gemini bitch. I feel like killing her all over again and spitting on her ugly face. To think she's worthy. To think she's worthy of knowing the truth. If they find out that we were sloppy, they will kill us. We might be the second third victim" A female voice said
"Relax. They will never know." A male voice said
"Don't you get it? We've been working for them for a while and we do not even know who they are. These are not just humans. They are evil beasts. They do not hesitate to kill. They are death themselves. You do see how Xiana was killed by her boyfriend? Became a ghost at such an age only because she doesn't want to do whatever they are doing anymore. He murdered her. I wouldn't evoke their wrath. I'm smart"
Zo sneezed suddenly and Fina's eyes widened in horror.
"Did you hear that?" The male
"Of course. I'm not deaf. Who's there?"
Their footsteps were heard drawing closer and closer.
"Except lab rats have started to sneeze, that must certainly be a human." The female
They drew more and more closer to them.
"Protection spells" Fina whispered. "Durus Durus humanus durus" She said in a panicked mode.
Nothing happened.
"Telepathy" Fina said again.
Shelly nodded furiously.
The door opened suddenly and Mrs Knight laughter echoed through the hall.
"Oh, thank you, David"
The girls eyes went wide like saucers.
