Chapter 18

    Poisoned.

I wiped the blood that was trickling from my nose and I fell too my knee's at the edge of the rough circle that had formed around Carmen. Her skin was slowly turning a sketchy black, her eyes were turned up and they showed the white. Her screams were slowly becoming weaker. Some of the teachers that weren't tending to Miss. Baker shoved past. "Whats wrong with her!" I shrieked as i lept to my feet. Alex came up and stood behind me his hands on my shoulders. I heard one of the teachers say "she has been poisoned. The only person that can do this type of magic is Chantel and she is dead." Poisoned, my best friend was poisoned. I her another teacher say "unless she taught her tricks to someone else. After all she only died seven years ago." The first teacher spoke again "i think your right Miss. Paladine. But who could it be?" I shook off Alex's grip. I knew who. "Its Reachel. I know it is. I knew something was wrong with her from the first moment i met her." I said. As the nurse took Carmen away on a stretcher, the remaining teachers turned to look at me. "I think Miss. Sanders here is right." A male teacher said. I heard another shrieke from the nurses building. I took off towards Carmen, i couldn't stop my self. I reached the building and flung my self in. A man was leaning over Carmen. I watched him stick a needle into her. The grey slowly faded off her. As the man straightened up i recognized him, it was Dr. Finneck Golden. "Oh hello Vee. I suspect your doing well?" I stepped forward "yeah I'm fine. Now how is Carmen doing?" Dr. Finneck turned back "she has been poisoned and she just lapsed into a type of  coma. The poison kills some one from the inside out, that's why she will be yelling. There is a chance we could stop the poison but there is very little chance she will live." Shocked i backed out onto the porch and turned and ran past Alex who changed coarse and ran after me. "Vee!" He called. But i didn't stop, i was crying. My best friend might die. I wiped the tears away hurriedly. I made my self phase and i shot forward. I reached the cliff Alex had saved me from. I phased back and my knee's buckled under me. I felt Alex catch me. The tears became harder, i sat there crying in Alex's lap. He rocked gently from side to side, murmuring soothing words into my ear and softly tracing the edges of my cuts with his finger. "What happened?" Alex asked. "Carmen's been poisoned and in a coma, she probably wont live. That's what the doctor said." Saying this only brought fresh tears to my eyes. "When my dad died Carmen helped me. She is like my sister. I cant lose her because of Reachel." Alex turned my chin. I saw sadness in his eyes. The way his emotions showed right now, it was as if a storm was going on in his eyes. They were stuck there, being thrown around in merciless waves. "I'm sorry. We cant do anything for her but hope." Alex kissed me, erasing what ever i had been about to say. I pulled away "i wish it were me. Not her." I said. Alex shook his head. "I'm sorry it had to be her but i rather her than you. I don't know what i would do with out you." I nodded knowing if it was me, it would break his heart. But it was Carmen in the coma, and that broke my heart.
