TRIGGER WARNING!690Please respect copyright.PENANAGYOrrnbPPm
This issue contained an attempted rape scene.690Please respect copyright.PENANAPuP0aGEnfK
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.690Please respect copyright.PENANAFxVBTXUXiP
"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."690Please respect copyright.PENANAqXUpGzIkTG
Aunt Inara smiled at Carter. "That was brave of you to save your sister, and I'm proud of you."690Please respect copyright.PENANAz9aP3SPui0
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."690Please respect copyright.PENANAGIZMoOEpjE
I burst into laughter, to her dismay. 690Please respect copyright.PENANASuXdnQsloH
"What's so funny, Meredith?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAzdJJGhpNz7
My smile faded as she glared at me, making me freeze at my seat. "Sorry, auntie," I muttered. "But does an amulet work?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAPzC3tVPYWy
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. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAB9bQexfUDm
"I need you to think what just said earlier, Bugsy."690Please respect copyright.PENANA4Mq4LAbaHG
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?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAbES5TdfOIu
She nodded. "Silver would ward them away."690Please respect copyright.PENANAIfsK9PslWB
"What about Carter? Nick might take him away as leverage against me."690Please respect copyright.PENANADIgTnr9bHT
"We'll sprinkle salt around the house, so don't worry about it, okay?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAXfKjbat64Q
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. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAhdGmY9uWEe
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.690Please respect copyright.PENANAJMmyjMA7jZ
"Hey Bugsy," he looked at me, one of his eyebrows raised. "Are you alright?" 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFnC15dt2ph
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?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAfbonML1xfT
"Alright, Ms Vasquez," Archie replied, his arms crossed behind his head.690Please respect copyright.PENANAnF1TsJ3ghJ
"That's good to hear, Archie," she grinned "What about you, Bugsy?"690Please respect copyright.PENANASWB1CqBHPe
I shrugged. "I'm fine, thank you, Ms Vasquez."690Please respect copyright.PENANAoe049HIFtI
"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?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAUm64kgM0Dt
Amra raised her hand. "It's a disease that can be passed down from having unprotected sex with someone."690Please respect copyright.PENANAQtgZDlSAqF
"And what do you mean by unprotected sex, Amra?" Ms Vasquez raised a question. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAI7NvSyQeqv
"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."690Please respect copyright.PENANAFZXTvLBUsp
"A solid explanation, Amra," praised Ms Vasquez, then staring at me. "Bugsy," she called me. "Do you know any types of STD?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAocWGx0lFBn
I sighed as I stood up from my seat. Why does she always have to pick me? "I know HIV is one of it."690Please respect copyright.PENANAnoFqsffoaS
"Can you explain it for the rest of the class?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAdX6M0D0Syu
"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."690Please respect copyright.PENANAcz34xpiy42
Archie raised his hand. "Will we get AIDS if we don't get HIV treated?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAGLVGVrJxl3
"Yes," I nodded. "And unfortunately, there's no cure for AIDS yet."690Please respect copyright.PENANArt3wpAYUXE
"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. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAyCKc6e5qjm
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?" 690Please respect copyright.PENANAI4fxSZznUE
"I'm alright," I sighed in relief. "Really, I am."690Please respect copyright.PENANAckINwEoj1i
"You don't seem yourself," Naomi commented. shaking her head. "Do you want to talk about it?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAR5Q6NTIAtu
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." 690Please respect copyright.PENANAFy2T7hoLvn
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?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAa9vzTkYGJ8
Naomi let out a giggle, making him rolled his eyes. "Someone's following me," my lips quivered. 690Please respect copyright.PENANATG7KgSYEtl
She gasped loudly, covering her mouth. "Oh my God, who?"690Please respect copyright.PENANArNUANBjjOt
"A faerie prince is after me," I whispered. "That's why I'm wearing a silver necklace."690Please respect copyright.PENANA0QVpPBt1kO
"How does he look like?" 690Please respect copyright.PENANAS118WrNitL
"Red hair, green eyes and pale skin. He looks handsome on the outside, but he's a monster in the inside."690Please respect copyright.PENANAHlmYRmfuSn
"Why is he after you?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAUOkgrhh4nI
"He wants to marry me and make me his bride, which I don't want to in the first place."690Please respect copyright.PENANATHAfyvAG5l
Ferdinand let out a violent cough in disbelief. "You're kidding, right?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAPxQ5UPPMv8
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."690Please respect copyright.PENANAPyd1OWJ7HL
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. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAbNGykYFFjQ
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.690Please respect copyright.PENANASmIgXjaXLz
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?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAWDHnwU1LDr
"Yup," I snorted. "God, you should've seen the look on your face."690Please respect copyright.PENANADuu51qUIEJ
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.690Please respect copyright.PENANAvo9iPhgFX2
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-"690Please respect copyright.PENANAnx1HKUc3RC
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?"690Please respect copyright.PENANAeJrGMO0mYA
Nick cackled manically and glared straight in the eyes, leaning closer to me. "Because you're beautiful, Meredith."690Please respect copyright.PENANAEHOvDxpNre
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.690Please respect copyright.PENANAHpBQNqFn9S
"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.690Please respect copyright.PENANApZ34pHWL2A
"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."690Please respect copyright.PENANAE02GGDLPAy
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. 690Please respect copyright.PENANAijtkX2etbt
"Oh Ferdinand," I sobbed. "I'm so sorry."690Please respect copyright.PENANALvZzwh0VKb
Ferdinand shook his head. "You didn't do anything wrong, Bugsy."690Please respect copyright.PENANA5L0PvKFU7L
"But I let him kissed me," I covered my face. "I could have-"690Please respect copyright.PENANAB4hzAIgTyI
"Bugsy," Naomi placed her hand on my shoulder. "It's not your fault."690Please respect copyright.PENANAT3hohdbFuX
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.
