TWENTY EIGHT

"He's real?" I question looking at Mg in shock, he looks nervous and nods, "he was desiccated so he was communicating through your mind, which is why you're the only one who could see him."

"That's why you asked me about the blood? Were you just using me so I'd reanimate you?" I feel so hurt and betrayed, I felt like I was loosing my mind but I was fine, I was ok.

"Arabella-" I shake my head, "no I don't want to hear it, leave me alone." His face falls but I'm firm in my decision, I didn't want to see him well not right now anyways. "I mean it Sebastian, I don't want to see you. You let me think I was going crazy when you easily could've just told me, I still would've helped you." He nods and walks away dejectedly.

"I'm so sorry Ari." Mg says turning my attention to him. "Are you mad at me?" I shake my head after thinking it over a moment. "No, I'm not mad, you were just doing what you thought was helping and every time you've tried to bring it up the past week I've shot you down." He grins before embracing me, "I'm still so sorry, I feel like this is my fault."

"It's not your fault Mg it's fine." I assure him, maybe I shouldn't even be mad at Sebastian but I was and it was best he stayed out of my way until I had calmed down.

"What the hell is going on?" I ask once Kiara wakes me up and I see her clad in Christmas attire. "It's Christmas." She says joyously making me rub my eyes confused, had I slept all the way to Christmas?

"It's October!"

"Christmas is a state of mind Arabella, don't be a grinch." Had I woken into an alternate universe this was so weird.

"You're gonna miss out on all the fun, you already missed out on the snowball fight this morning." This makes me jump out of bed, "it's snowing?" How the hell was it snowing?

"Don't fight it sister, just grab a cup of hot chocolate and join us in the festivities." I nod taking the cup from her, "yeah of course I'll just meet you downstairs, let me get ready."

Once she's gone I dump the coco out the window and sit for a moment trying to rationalise this. "What the hell could this be." Monster! It must be a monster I conclude before I get a bit confused, which monster would make everyone think it was Christmas though.

I get changed and go down to see everyone celebrating and decorating the school, it looked nice but I felt like I was in a horror movie, it was like the unicorn slugs all over again.

I make my way down to the basement trying to avoid everyone for a moment they were all offering me food and drinks but I didn't trust it, I was trying to keep myself in reality.

"Arabella?" I jump not having expecting anyone down here, "Clarke?" What was Landons psycho brother doing down here. "Why are you here and not in the pit with daddy dearest." I say making him chuckle unamused.

"You remember me this time." My brows furrow, what did he mean this time? "You don't remember trying to get alcohol poisoning?"

"You were there?" I ask confused, I don't know how much I drank that night because it was all still a blur. "You were having quite the meltdown, talking about killing your sister, hallucinations."

"Turns out we're all good on the hallucination front, the boy is real, he was just making me think I was crazy." I say making him nod, "see I told you that you weren't crazy."

"Ok enough about me, why are you here? What did you do this time?" He shrugs, "it must've been something bad if Hope locked you up."

"I tried to transfer my conscious into Hope." He admits making me nod, "wow," that was really something. "I know, but the jokes on me I transferred myself into a Gollum that's going to disintegrate tonight."
