My snake boy (Ajax Petropolus x Lydia Hudson)

Six

"What is that?" I ask her, watching as a piece of paper falls from the sky

She grabs it and looks at it

"He told me his mother drew it 25 years ago. She was a student at Nevermore. He said it was his destiny to kill me before I destroy the school and everyone in it" She explains in her monotone voice

"You don't seem very concerned about this whole event" I laugh nervously, unable to process what the hell just happened "How are you destined to destroy the school?"

"I don't know" She says, looking closer at the drawing

"We need to find the other half of this" She tells me so I nod

"Look, I'll help you. But I don't want to get dragged into any deep shit, okay?" She nods her head and we make our way back out of the forest. I look around for Enid, Yoko, Ajax, Xavier, Anyone.

However, a scream echos through the festival. When I turn around, I find Wednesday passed out in Bianca's arms

"Holy shit" I whisper, running to the two girls

Bianca runs away so I stay with Wednesday and eventually Bianca makes her appearance again... With principal Weems. I sneak away whilst they are distracted. I hide behind one of the carnival game stands and wait until they aren't looking

I creep away from the scene and try to find Ajax, I had to apologise and talk to him. I turn a corner and bump into the Gorgon I was looking for

"Ajax" I say, out of breath from recent events. Tears were pricking my eyes and I had blood on my face from being thrown about. I didn't even realise I had it until i finally felt the cold air against it

"Are you okay?!" He asks, concern immediately taking over his face

"I'm fine!" I nod

He places his hand on my cheek and I wince at the pain a little

"Lydia, you're hurt. Come here" He takes my hand and takes me to a first Aid stand. The nurse there stitches a deep cut on my cheek and sends me on my way

"I need you to put it back on me. Weems can't know I took it off" I beg, holding my wrist up. He fidgets around his pockets before pulling out my wrist band

"Will you be okay?" He asks and I nod in response

"If I black out... I won't remember anything. I'll need you to remind me, can you do that?" I ask so he nods. I tell him EVERYTHING so that he can remind me when I wake up

"Lydia..."

"Promise me..." I whisper. He looks into my eyes and lets out a small sigh

"Yeah" He nods

"Here" I say, raising my hand. He takes my hand and holds the wrist band in his other hand

"I'm in love with you" He states, looking into my eyes

"What?" I ask

"Gosh, Lydia. You don't understand how much I do love you. I think about you every day. You're the first and last thing on my mind. You give me a reason to wake up every morning"
