Chapter 706
A Life Debt Repaid
Cordy had seen âthatâ alright.
It really hurt her eyes to see it; she needed to wash them when she got home.
âSo I wasnât imagining it?â Zoeâs face turned paler.
While Cordy and Quinn were both left perplexed, Zoe panickily tugged on Cordyâs sleeve. âHe must have some grudge that keeps him here to rise from the grave like that! Thatâs why heâs haunting usâ¦
Come on, we have to visit his grave right this instant!â
âVisit whose grave?â Cordy was perplexed, suddenly realizing that Zoe was operating on a completely different wavelength from herself.
Was Zoe really that drunk?
âHis grave, of course!â Zoe said solemnly. âHe must be getting lonely.â
âWhat⦠Oh?!â
Cordy yelped as Zoe started dragging her away. Her body was already aching from the fall just now, and her ankles were swollen.
And now, she was getting dragged unceremoniously around by Zoe!
Next timeâ¦
No, there wouldnât be a next time. She was never drinking with them again, but if she had to, she wouldnât get drunk!
Restraint seemed out of the question whenever they get drunk!
On the other hand, Quinn was shocked by Zoe reacting as if she was possessed-how much did the girl drink that she was no longer making sense of?!
âSlow down, Zoe!â
Disregarding her terrible headache, she promptly gave chase while feeling dizzy, despite retaining an iota of sobriety.
At the same time, Zoe was moving so fast that Cordy felt like she was floating.
Soon they were out of the restaurant, and Zoe managed to stop a taxi.
Almost left behind, Quinn had to run until she was wheezing when she finally made it in.
Before she could catch his breath, however, she heard Zoe telling the cabbie, âThe nearest florist, please.â
âWhat? Flowers in the middle of the night? Why?â
âMind your own business,â Zoe snapped, utterly tense. âOr he might haunt you too!â
The cabbie was suddenly really spooked, and everyone felt the inertia shoving them against their seats as the taxi shot forward.
The trio were drunk, and Cordy herself just finished puking, but the jerking motion of the taxi left her on the verge of vomiting again.
Even Quinn was barely holding it in despite being able to earlier.
âThereâs one right ahead, ladiesâ¦â
Eventually, the taxi stopped, and the trio promptly got out, running straight to the nearest trash can and puking their guts out.
Never had any of them ended up looking this pathetic.
Still, Zoe only had to vomit for a while to feel better, and quickly left.
Cordy and Quinn were going to stop her, but they were still too sick and started vomiting again.
Later, Zoe returned with several bags, and gave them each a bottle of water. âTo rinse your mouth.â
They had barely finished doing so and caught their breath, when Zoe dragged them both back into the taxi.
âTake us to the graveyard,â Zoe told the cabbie.
âTo theâ¦what?â The cabbie asked for confirmation.
Meanwhile, both Cordy and Quinn were suffering too much from their terrible headaches and stomachaches to care what Zoe was doingâ¦until they actually stopped at the place in the quiet outskirts of the city.
There was only silence and darkness. Cordy and Quinn were suddenly both fully sober.
âWhere did you take us, Zoe?!â Quinn couldnât help snapping out loud, but it only got creepier as her voice echoed in the empty, sinister surroundings.
