The Midnight Gang

Chapter 39

I only broke out of my daze when someone burst through my bedroom door yelling my name. I hurriedly got out and covered myself hoping I didn't look like prune with how long I'd been in the shower.

"Scarlett." Katrina said, catching her breath.

"Katrina." I said mimicking her voice with a tone of sarcasm

"It's about Elizabeth."

"What about her?"

Her next words came out in a rush.

"

"What?!"

"I said, Well, we were kind of attacked and Elizabeth decided to try and prove her goodness to us and she went out and fought them but she got hurt and I don't know how she is now." She repeated more slowly.

"Give me 2 minutes I'll get changed and I'll be there."

"Okay." And she ran out.

I quickly get changed into a hoodie and leggings, not caring about my wet hair, and sprinted to the front hall.

As I approached everyone, they split creating room for me next to Lizzie.

"Hey," I whispered. "How you feeling?"

"Like I was shot with an arrow." She coughed out.

"Looks like it. Stay still for me, Okay?"

"Okay."

I looked up at everyone.

"Kat, get me a bowl of water and a cloth. Kai get me a pair of scissors. Astrid get me the first aid kit in the kitchen. Adrian get me a large t-shirt from my room. Everyone else get a first aid kit. Amelie get the ones in the basement, Daph, Harm, get the ones in the east wing, Zoie get the ones on the third floor. Ad, As, the ones in the west wing. Mel, Aly stay with me. Go."

I turned to Mel, "Hold her hands, she's strong, she'll try and hit you. Aly, grab her legs, if she can't hit, she'll kick."

I then looked at the arrow and then Lizzie, "You ready? As soon as one gets back with a kit, I'm pulling at the arrow then I'll cut your top of you and then I'll clean up the blood around it then bandage it. Okay?"

"Yes."

Astrid and Kai had just got back.

"You ready?"

"No."

"Tough."

"3"

"2"

"1"

And I pulled it out. The whole of the arrow came out in one piece which I was grateful for. I grabbed the scissors and cut her top off her and cleaned the blood before wrapping it. But it wouldn't stop bleeding. Nothing. I did everything right so why wouldn't it stop. I was on the verge of tears.

"WHY WON'T IT STOP?!" I yelled before a burst of light admitted from around me, knocking everyone to the floor before blacking out myself.
