"Estella?!"


They all stood there, shocked. All of them looked like they'd seen a ghost because of the girl standing right in front of them.


She was alive. When they all thought that they've lost her, she was here, standing, looking fine and healthy and not infected at all. She now is also wearing different clothes and not the filthy school uniform that was filled with blood and dirt.

"Why, Callista? What did I do to you?"


"Sorry. It's just that...you have everything that I've always wanted, you and Jule. The grades, the attention, the things that I want, the boy that I love..."
