The Jewels; Mother of Pearl (#ABA2017)

Chapter Seventeen

Annika stared at the phone for a moment and laughed in a mimicked way Jasmine had moments before. Annika looked at Jasmine's terrified, pale face and smiled as her face and hair turned into that of a Dark Angel's but the rest of her didn't. Her gold eyes glared at her almost hungrily.

Then Annika's whole body turned into an Angel's sickly body and circle around Jasmine like a cat, her long fingernails softly scratching the side of her neck. Annika leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "now you are going to listen carefully," she informed.

Jasmine was breathing in shaky breathes, with every blink a tear rolled down her face and a whimper escaped her lips when Annika's hands touched her.

"Just close your eyes," she instructed quietly.

Lola stared at Annika and Jasmine in somewhat fear and shock.

"And it'll be over quickly," Annika informed.

Jasmine closed her eyes nevertheless as Annika took a couple of steps back, quick as lightning she seemed to turn into a shadow on the ground, it travelled across the ground towards Lola. She went wide eyed as Annika's still Angel head popped up. Lola gasped as she slowly started scattering back a bit; Annika put a bony finger to her lips and disappeared again.

Jasmine's whole body was trembling as she opened her eyes; she looked around and saw she was by herself other than Lola who was still on the ground.

Jasmine stared at Lola in horror as she slowly started to back off.

She suddenly ran into something, she turned and saw Annika standing there in her beautiful human form. She tilted her head, "what's wrong, Jasmine?" Annika asked innocently, Jasmine looked from Lola to Annika, "You're not scared of a girl are you?"

Jasmine was still breathing quickly as she looked at Lola to Annika again, with a wobbly voice that was cracking when she talking she said, "freaks. Both of you are freaks!" she snapped as she ran off.

Annika caught Jasmine's arm and smiled, "I haven't given you permission to leave yet," Annika informed, her grip turning Jasmine's fingers red with the lack of blood.

Jasmine stared at her in tearful horror as she watched Annika's fingers turn into scissor blades.

She screamed again as she practically collapsed to the ground and tried to pull against her. Annika stood there almost unaffected by the screams, as she released Jasmine. She screamed a moment before opening her eyes. Annika crawled over to Lola quick as lightning and practically kneeled over her like a cat with kittens, Lola couldn't have gotten up even if she tried.

Lola stared at Jasmine with silent amusement but couldn't help a small chuckle escape her lips; she covered her mouth in an attempt to hide it. Annika's wings sprouted and casted a long shadow around Lola, she laid on her back as Annika passed her the same phone. Lola rolled onto her stomach and aimed it at Jasmine, "smile," she said as the phone gave a small blinding flash.

Jasmine blinked several times as she watched Annika wrap her arms around Lola and jump into the sky. Lola screamed as she was flown aggressively into the sky, her scream echoed throughout the field and Jasmine also let off a scream as she ran back to the school building.

Lola was clutching onto the phone, her screams soon turned into laughter as she looked at the phone, several of Jasmine's locks of hair had been cut by Annika when she circled her with her scissor hands, making some bits of her hair stick up. She didn't look as ridiculous as Lola had, but it was still worth laughing about.

Annika wasn't in the air for very long, after about a minute of flying Annika dived to the trees. At the last second, Annika opened up her wings and Lola was jerked to a slower movement. She grunted slightly as she was somewhat dropped, somewhat placed on the ground.
