"Nothing works," Kayla whispered to herself like a deranged person and closed her laptop.
The night was long and tiring, yet she was bent on finding something that could snap Max out of the curse.
Since she was the only one at home because her mother was still in the hospital, she made her way to Max's room without having to tiptoe like she always did when Mrs. Addison was around.
She looked closely at the vines. It appeared as though they had sunken deeper into his head than the last time she had checked.
"What really is this thing?" She muttered.
Cautiously yet with confidence rising in her, she placed a finger on the vines and she could feel a pulse. It wasn't Max's but that of the vines.
"What in the world?" She quickly retracted her hand. Now she knew, those vines were not going to come off until they had decided to.
