Chapter 214

214–The Worst Day Of My Life “Come on, quit playing. It‘s a serious matter,” Oswin jumped between us to diffuse the situation. He turned to me and eyed me to go along when Thiago couldn‘t watch him.

“Playing?” Thiago asked. His eyes seemed to have been stuck on my face. He wanted me to agree to only joke about it. But my emotions were so raw at that moment that I couldn‘t walk away from the truth anymore.

Oswin lied to us once again: “They are fucking with us, but they don‘t even know how serious this matter is,” He was swiftly turning to each of us and eyeing us to not dwell on this subject anymore.

“Really? If this is not true, then tell us what you were injecting in Oswin?” I pushed Oswin out of my way and asked Thiago directly. Maybe it wasn‘t the best time to confront him in an academy full of innocents, but my heart couldn‘t bear it anymore.

“Why don‘t you let me inject it and then have this discussion?” Suddenly, Thiago pulled another injection out of his pocket and asked me very calmly, yet creepily.

I shared a petrifying glance with Lazlo, who looked like he had seen a ghost too. Thiago had a pocket full of injections that he was expecting us to let him introduce into our bodies.

“Yeah, let’s do that,” Oswin agreed with Thiago. I wonder if that fluid had controlled Oswin now. He was acting way too calm and trusting of Thiago.

“We are not allowing anything in our body,” Lazlo spoke out loud as he nudged my arm and came in front of me.

“Why? Do you not trust me, Enya?” From over Lazlo‘s shoulder, Thiago looked at me, ignoring everybody else and focusing on me.

“How about you make us trust you? How about you give us a reason to trust you?” Lazlo was talking on my behalf, too. I was only staring at Thiago shaking his head with a mixture of emotions.

“Guys! Please,” Oswin grunted at us. He was anxiously trying to convince us to give that injection one try.

“Do you not trust me, Enya?” Thiago asked again. He didn‘t bother paying attention to what else was going on in the room. His full attention was on me, and that was making me uncomfortable.

“Okay! How about you let me inject this in you?” it was only then Oswin grabbed the injection out of Thiago‘s hand and faced us.

“What is in it?” Lazlo questioned.

Oswin hissed, turning around to pass a glance to Thiago, who had been frozen in his spot after I didn‘t answer him.

“Look! I am the one that fetched it, okay? Does that comfort you two?” Finally, Oswin revealed another big mystery to us. It wasn‘t even Thiago who brought this fluid, but can we trust Oswin anymore?

“Enya! I am not lying.” Oswin said once to Lazlo, and I remained silent for too long.

“How do we know you are not under somebody‘s control?” I asked Oswin and secretly watched Thiago‘s face, who sarcastically laughed at himself before lowering his face and biting his tongue.

“Because I am not. Just please let me inject this so that this mess could be over,” Oswin requested, walking in our direction.

“Fine, I will let you inject this.” Lazlo sacrificed, “Enya! Make sure you are attentive. If they try to control me, you will know,” he whispered to me, but I am sure Thiago heard it because he raised his face and added again, watching us with teary eyes.

I wasn‘t comfortable with Lazlo letting Oswin fill his veins with that thing, but that was our only option, or else the conversation was not going anywhere. We needed Oswin on our side, so we had to give in.

Oswin stood beside Lazlo and injected the liquid into his arm. Once it was done, I watched Lazlo shake his head as if he was getting dizzy.

“Now tell me, what is in it?” I asked once Lazlo sat down to cover his face in his hands.

“He will be fine. He is an Alpha, so he doesn‘t have to pass out or anything,” Oswin stated, taking the lead.

“You think I was controlling Oswin?” Thiago, who had been stuck in some other world, brought it up again.

“Not now. Let Enya have this injection first,” Oswin eyed him, but Thiago only threw a fit and turned his face away from mine.

“Lazlo!” I rushed to my knees and sat in front of him. “How do you feel?” I held his hands and asked him. I saw Thiago turn to us again and watch us interact.

“Actually, I am feeling fine,” Lazlo removed his hands from his face and raised his face. He even looked fine.

“Are you sure?” I confirmed, and he nodded.

“And I still think something is wrong with —–him.” Lazlo whispered as he gestured at Thiago.

That was to show he was not under anybody‘s control. I was a little confused, but it proved Oswin was not under Thiago‘s control. So this fluid was truly something he fetched.

“Enya! Your turn,” Oswin said, holding it for me. I stared Thiago right in the eye before I stretched my arm out and left Oswin to inject it into me.

It was a weird feeling. My body felt as if I was lifted into the clouds. Thiago rushed to give me support, but even when I was dizzy, I pushed him away from me and let Lazlo hold me.

The hurt on Thiago‘s face was still visible even when everything else had turned hazy.

“Ahh!” I sat down on the bed to calm down first.

“Hey, are you okay?” Lazlo asked, and I nodded to him. Strangely enough, nothing seems to have changed.

“You two think I was the monster who was killing everyone?” the moment I was back on my feet, Thiago brought up the subject, but this time, he was much more open about it.

“You tw–” he paused, only to swallow the tears back.

“Yes! Because that is the truth. You were controlling Jessica!” I yelled after being silent for too long.

“What? No! He was pretending to be the monster!” That statement from Oswin made us turn to him and watch his face in shock.

“He was pretending. I was aware of all of it,” Oswin made my body feel a weird feeling of shock after hearing him.
