A ghost is what you could use to describe Rachael that moment. Lizzy actually thought they knocked at the wrong door because she looked like a ghoul who came from hell.
Dark circles with big eye bags under her eyes, then her eyes were red and swollen as if she had been crying for the whole day, her skin very pale that you would think it was transparent and lastly her hair.
"Arrghhhhh don't mention, it was like a battle zone and World War 6 actually took place there".
To make the matter worse she was wearing a white long nightgown.
"Why are you guys staring at me like that," Rachael asked with a hoarse voice. "Are you gonna keep looking or will you come inside?" She invited them inside, but they were literally scared to go inside.
"Rach I don't mean to pick on you but why are you looking like a GHOUL?" Emily asked as she walked inside slowly.
Rachael closed the door when they all came in and went to the mirror to look at herself. Rachael was terrified as she saw a reflection of herself in the mirror, but before she could think of why she was looking like that, Kyler snapped her out of her daze.
"Am sorry for interrupting but we don't have much time okay, we are already late for the clean up so get dressed. Immediately, Rachael came back to her senses and that was when she remembered that it was Galleon's clean up day and they had plans.
-------------------------------------------
As the girls dashed out of the girls dorm they saw Jay waving at them. "Hey why are you guys panting as if you just finished a marathon race. Lucas said as he tried to hold Lizzy from falling. Jay was really concerned about them getting easier work, so he had to urge them to run before it was really too late.
"You guys are 1 hour and 49 minutes late so the only work left is to clean the school field", Mrs. Kent, a lecturer in science, said while pointing to the school which was very big and littered.
"This is why I always try to go early!" Jay grunted.
"Am sorry guys, I mean for coming out late making you guys clean the field but you would have gone without me" Rachael said helplessly while picking the dustbin to get ready for cleaning.
Emily sighed and said "The time we'll use to blame ourselves and say sorry, we should use it to start cleaning the field, as the saying goes "The early the better!!!".
"I agree with you". Lizzy joined Kyler in picking. While Jay as the laziest member reluctantly bent down to start picking. While they were picking, Lucas decided to make it more lively so he asked "Who wants to hear about the history of Galleon?"
"Well we all know it unless you wanna tell Rachael". Kyler discouraged Lucas and he felt down, so Rachael decided to liven it up with him, and also know the story about how the school came about. Which was killing two birds with one stone. "Am all ears" Rachael said while she came closer to Lucas so she could hear better.
"Well well well as you know Galleon means a large Spanish ship sailing from the 17th to 18th century, so as the name implies Galleon was a ship which people used to escape from Spain to South America during the Great War of Britain and Spain. Galleon was built for many people or survivors to escape when the British were slaughtering all Spanish they saw. And when the survivors escaped, they all lived as family in the ship because it was large enough to fit a whole village, so they regarded the ship as their home. They tried educating their children in the ship about how the world works, and that's how Galleon came about because when they reached their destination, an abandoned place that they could finally call theirs, they couldn't abandon the ship, so they used it as an educational center. And now there is Civilization, they decided to convert it to a University, both for their people and people from foreign places". Lucas told the story dramatically as a drama king, demonstrating it as if he was actually there when it happened.
As Lucas told the story of the galleon, people stared at them. Rachael was already used to it, well she already broke her second rule and besides being with Emily, Jay, Kyler, Lucas and Lizzy is fun.
"That's not actually what happened is it?" Rachael asked out of the blue which surprised everyone except Lizzy because she was confused.
"Why do you say that, Rach???" Lizzy asked.
"Every school has its own secret, I figured that they won't really tell everything" Rachael said as a matter of fact.
"Like you Rachael, are you really telling us everything?" Kyler pressed, trying to get some information out of Rachael.
"I think we should all trash the dirt into the school trash can. Rachael decided to avoid the question. It was an awkward situation, so Jay said
"Hey I texted Liam, they are waiting for us in the lecture hall".
"Why did you text him??" Lizzy asked.
"Well I wanted to introduce Rachael to the others.
"Why, people who don't know would think you like her and you are introducing her to your relatives!!" Lucas played along by teasing him.
IN A HIDDEN CAVE IN THE FOREST OF ILLUSIONS
"Who did this?" A furious voice yelled out and pointed at the bloody and gory scene in front of her.
"I want every information on What, How and Who did this to her". The Furious voice yelled again smashing the things around her.
"My Lady, I think you need to see this!" A servant came shouting after searching the dead body.
"Greetings to whomever reading this. I should say She really did put up a fight indeed, I guess she really trained a lot more than others I have met and of course killed. But such a pity that such a nice Warrior was wasted and died in Vain. My Condolences.
So to express my Sincere feelings, I would love to send to you One of my Men to stay by your side and replace her. WHAT DO YOU THINK?" The Furious voice rang out once again, loudly for everyone around her to hear.
The crowd gasped in fright and murmured "The Vampires are getting bolder and more courageous. They are no longer afraid of Us".
"Whoever did this is not afraid of Us and is looking for WAR, and we will give it to Him", A man in a mask walked out from the crowd and said .
