TRIGGER WARNING!606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0SCzizKS6
This issue contained an attempted rape scene.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BCWN8JhEs
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49bGBgLG5H
"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZRgu0byni
Aunt Inara smiled at Carter. "That was brave of you to save your sister, and I'm proud of you."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsno7LfXPe8
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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6iKvOmwHO
I burst into laughter, to her dismay. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtdf9gJNU0
"What's so funny, Meredith?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjjCekXjOV
My smile faded as she glared at me, making me freeze at my seat. "Sorry, auntie," I muttered. "But does an amulet work?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPBg8HUwnt
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. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXhHOpYzSz
"I need you to think what just said earlier, Bugsy."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLuoSGS2eL
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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Huebenfz7
She nodded. "Silver would ward them away."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtlkbvMFtj
"What about Carter? Nick might take him away as leverage against me."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHzB6ryW4r
"We'll sprinkle salt around the house, so don't worry about it, okay?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlt5H3fzpvp
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. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡass4f6TqeA
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjS1kNYjqHu
"Hey Bugsy," he looked at me, one of his eyebrows raised. "Are you alright?" 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡceQtdplQ86
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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjog3Ff4rzD
"Alright, Ms Vasquez," Archie replied, his arms crossed behind his head.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTlgCcOTX0
"That's good to hear, Archie," she grinned "What about you, Bugsy?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7oA5OLPGQK
I shrugged. "I'm fine, thank you, Ms Vasquez."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqPHLMIZEU
"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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrqXynO7FR9
Amra raised her hand. "It's a disease that can be passed down from having unprotected sex with someone."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7OwAIkxjo
"And what do you mean by unprotected sex, Amra?" Ms Vasquez raised a question. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTLrVvprIB
"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPkxcUVpmi
"A solid explanation, Amra," praised Ms Vasquez, then staring at me. "Bugsy," she called me. "Do you know any types of STD?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWDQruRBFhV
I sighed as I stood up from my seat. Why does she always have to pick me? "I know HIV is one of it."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KTpLUNICt
"Can you explain it for the rest of the class?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyAyGyxypf
"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT31ywlntn
Archie raised his hand. "Will we get AIDS if we don't get HIV treated?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9vSHFkf1CP
"Yes," I nodded. "And unfortunately, there's no cure for AIDS yet."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGQ4A0tR0F
"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. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT0FzUlOfN
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?" 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwjJu3W2n0
"I'm alright," I sighed in relief. "Really, I am."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCpf9c4iIe
"You don't seem yourself," Naomi commented. shaking her head. "Do you want to talk about it?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnWbGxSGXW
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." 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm9ZFXXDZj
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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqyIuRF3RX
Naomi let out a giggle, making him rolled his eyes. "Someone's following me," my lips quivered. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkcn40upB3
She gasped loudly, covering her mouth. "Oh my God, who?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqRidbn79y
"A faerie prince is after me," I whispered. "That's why I'm wearing a silver necklace."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMliOstfmrH
"How does he look like?" 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBKKago9lW
"Red hair, green eyes and pale skin. He looks handsome on the outside, but he's a monster in the inside."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6sV5ELpFIu
"Why is he after you?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPjOahW7OX
"He wants to marry me and make me his bride, which I don't want to in the first place."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5mKjTvtpZ
Ferdinand let out a violent cough in disbelief. "You're kidding, right?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTfX1OfJztu
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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGjImpq9CCZ
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. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZs8I77UIz9
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLk6u85ibg
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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2Gg7Ha5EB
"Yup," I snorted. "God, you should've seen the look on your face."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQfhk3DdL6
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqYafj1DT9
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-"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtGUnSSmvuL
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?"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39wfzuU2yv
Nick cackled manically and glared straight in the eyes, leaning closer to me. "Because you're beautiful, Meredith."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUcZQZvgqF
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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMUzbvLpMt
"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.606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuZRCGrEaZk
"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."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TYM55Jzca
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. 606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60KVHU80Bx
"Oh Ferdinand," I sobbed. "I'm so sorry."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqtw2MMhzL
Ferdinand shook his head. "You didn't do anything wrong, Bugsy."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xmtWUUZQW
"But I let him kissed me," I covered my face. "I could have-"606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvb9ZZIvsB
"Bugsy," Naomi placed her hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault."606Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLM8lx6ten
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.
