Veronica’s two pupils, Garrett Poe and Thalia Maddox, rush into the kitchen to find their mentor hunched over, holding her head and hissing at the floor.
“Madam Sullivan!” Thalia shouted as she runs to her and keeps her from falling, “She’s havin’ a mental breakdown!” As she’s restraining their teacher, she looks to her partner and his eyes widen, panicking.
“W-What am I suppose to do?!”
She rolls her eyes, “Remember that vial ah handed ya earlier? Toss it to me. Now!” He nods, pulling out a small vial of purple liquid and tosses it to her. After catching it, pops it open and forces it into Veronica’s mouth.
“So..what now..?” Garrett asks, staring at the two of them. He notices the vial soothed their mistress.
“The after effects, come ‘ere and take ‘er upstairs to rest,” Thalia demands him.
“After effects..?” He walks over to them, “What..does that mean?” He feels a hand caress his bicep and looks over to see it’s his mentor, “Uh..madam?” She grins at him.
“She’s hallucinatin’, just get her upstairs before she decides to nick the other side of yer neck.”
He nods, but before he can get her anyway, she places her hand on his neck, he mouths ‘help’ to Thalia. To her dismay, she sighs and pulls him from Veronica. “Go upstairs. She will follow.”
“O-Okay..” He gulps and rushes up the stairs with Veronica following him.
She winces as she hears a loud thump from the top floor. “Thalia!! She’s on me! HELP! MADAM! NO! I’VE ALREADY BEEN BITTEN!! NOT THERE! THALIA!”
“Ugggghhhh, fine I’m comin’!! An’ stop shoutin’ ye’re only makin’ it worse!!”
