"So I [random lady] can do this..."

Nini's pov

My heart drops to my stomach when I see her pull out a small, black gun. She points it straight at me.

"Stop! Stop stop stop! What are you doing!", I scream, putting my hands up.

"You...you're a werewolf.", the lady says.

"W-what?! What are you talking about?!", I shout.

The room goes silent. The only thing you could hear were cars screeching outside and my fast breathing. I was so scared. The tip of the black gun was pointing straight at me.

Her phone begins to ring. She rolls her eyes and hides the gun, walking out of the room to answer the call.

I pick up my phone, quickly, calling Ricky.

"Hey I'm like two minutes away. Gina and EJ couldn't come so...it's uh- just me.", he answers.

"Ricky...step on the gas please. Come here...quick. Hurry-", I whisper.

"O-okay I'm coming.", he says and the call hangs up.

My stomach was sore and hurting but, I slowly lifted my legs and set them so they were dangling off the bed. I slowly push myself up and grab onto the wall for support. It hurt to stand...and walk...but I pushed through it. I stumbled over to the door.

I looked out the clear glass to see that woman standing at the end of the hallway, back turned, talking on the phone. I look to the other end, seeing emergency exit stairs. They weren't that far away.

I suck in a breath and quietly open the door. I gently let it shut and stumble towards the door of the emergency exit stairs. I push it open and carefully hold onto the railing while I step, one foot at a time, down the steps.

After what felt like forever, I reached the end of the stairs. I push open the door and recognized the area as the lobby. I gulp and look around, making sure I can't see the woman.

I step further into the lobby when my head turns to the automatic doors. I see a curly haired boy walk through the doors rather quickly. I let out a breath of relief and try my best to run towards him. He looks over at me, running towards me with a worried look.

"Ricky-", I breath out.

"Nini what's wrong? You should be in your room...", he says.

I shake my head as he helps me sit down on a couch.

"The lady-", I say, "She was gonna- she was gonna shoot me..."

He looks at me with wide eyes, "She was going to what?!"

I stare blankly at the floor, my heart racing out of my chest. In my peripheral vision I see him take a seat next to me.

"A-are you okay?!", he asks.

I take a deep breath, slightly nodding my head, "I think so..."

Ricky's pov

I went up and talked to the lady at the front desk, vaguely explaining the situation to her. She was kind enough to call the police to come search the building and she gave Nini a new hospital room. Her nurse, Emily, and I helped get Nini situated in her new room.

"Is this okay for you?", Emily asks.

Nini nods, "It's great, thanks."

"Let me know if you need something", she says before walking out.

I take a seat on the small chair in the room. The room was silent, and somewhat dark.

"How's your stomach?", I ask, breaking the silence.

She shrugs, "Hurts...but it's healing."

I nod, thoughts roaming throughout my mind. I was so curious on what happened.

And I hoped it wouldn't happen again.

"Nini- do you...do you know what happened?", I ask.

She looks over at me, "I-I don't even know...I was cooking dinner. Then...I was cleaning the dishes and it was like...like something was controlling me."

I furrow my brows at her, "What do you mean?"

"I just- I...I felt my hand reach out and grab the knife. Then I was just staring at it...until I drove it through my stomach. It like...it felt like I did it against my own will though?"

I let out a breath, "And...you said it felt like something was controlling you?"

She nods, "I mean- that's the only explanation I have. Considering...I wouldn't just stab myself for funzies..."

I let out a small chuckle, Nini joining me a second after.

"And you know the weirdest thing?", she adds, "I didn't feel anything at first."

I stare at her blankly, questioning how that's even possible.

"W-what?", I spit out.

"I uh- I know it's crazy...but I didn't feel anything. Not until that horrid ringing starts in my ears...then I felt everything.", she says.

"What ringing?", I question.

"Oh...uh- I don't really know what it is. It's just a really loud and ear-piercing ringing that makes my head hurt and spin.", she explains.

Gina's pov

I finish up with dance practice and it's dark outside now. I walk out of the school gym and it's quiet outside. It's a pretty peaceful night. I take my phone out and dial Ricky's number as I walk towards the parking lot.

"Hey", he speaks through the phone.

"Hey...how is she?", I ask.

"She's alright...some weirdo tried to shoot Nini though.", he says.

"What?! Why?!", I exclaim.

I wasn't exactly prepared for news that extreme.

He sighs, "She hasn't given me all the details yet...but other than that she's alright. She's healing...and should be let out of the hospital in a couple days."

I let out a sigh of relief, "That's good at least. Well I'm gonna head home, see you tomorrow."

"Bye"

The call ends with a beep and I toss my phone back into my bag. I arrive at my car and unlock it. I set my stuff inside when I hear a loud car alarm start going off. I look around and see the car a couple spots down from me, the lights flashing and the horn beeping. I furrow my brows and look around before cautiously getting closer to the car.

I noticed it was one of the dance team members.

"Ashley?", I call out.

I look around more before walking up to the car and looking through the window. My heart dropped to my stomach when I saw her sitting in the driver's seat...

A knife thrown straight through her heart.
