Chapter 9 Audrey Lost Her Cool
Joanna kept calling for help but none came to her rescue. Vampires have heightened senses of hearing. They can hear from afar.
She was certain a lot of vampires had either walked past the restroom or were playing close to the restroom but they were only ignoring her because they didn't want to get into trouble with the mean girls.
While Joanna was busy yelling for help, Audrey noticed her disappearance and began searching the entire school premises for her.
Audrey went to all the places she knew Joanna would have been but she was nowhere to be found.
She also went to the different places the girls always bullied her at but she couldn't find her best friend.
After hours of searching Audrey went to confront the mean witches.
Furious Audrey stomped into their classroom after her numerous failed attempts to find Joanna.
She ignored every other person in the classroom and went to where Tiffany and her friends were leaning against the wall chatting and also giggling.
"What is that crazy girl up to now?" Laura talking with her best friend muttered on seeing Audrey approach the mean witches' direction.
Reaching where they stood Audrey held the hand of the most talkative girl of the group, Nora and yanked her away from where she was standing.
Her action made the other girls furious. "Hey tomboy, have you suddenly lost your mind? How dare you treat Nora this way…,"
"You call this crazy?" Audrey thundered in anger. Her eyes turned crimson red in an instance. Her transformation was accompanied by her long fangs and front teeth.
"If you want I can go even crazier if you don't tell me what you guys did to Anna," Audrey said, her grip around Nora's wrist tightened causing the girl to groan in pain.
This showed that she wasn't kidding.
If the girls dared to keep quiet about Joanna's whereabouts then she would risk everything and make sure she broke Nora's hands.
"You are the one who is her best friend so how dare you come to ask us…,"
"I know that you girls know what exactly I am talking about so don't you dare try to play smart with me. I am not that patient," Audrey said fiercely, twisting Nora's wrist even more. Her action was accompanied by a cracking sound and a low scream from Nora.
Undergoing this torture the girl in Audrey's possession could no longer keep her cool. She began swearing at Audrey but Audrey acted like she didn't hear the girl's words.
"Let go of her f*cking hands, you lunatic of a girl," Sophie shouted angrily. She tried to charge forward to rescue Nora only to halt when Audrey grabbed Nora's neck with her free hand.
"Your best friend is in my mercy now so I suggest you think carefully before you answer my question. I don't know what I would do to her if you keep wasting my time," Audrey threatened coldly. She didn't care that the teachers might catch her or that someone might report her to the principal. All that was on Audrey's mind was to find her best friend as soon as possible in case she was in danger.
"Girls, don't you dare think I am afraid of you just because I always followed Anna's words and kept a cool head. The one who would have kept me in check isn't here so don't you dare think I will go easy on you girls…,"
"You talk as if you can defeat the four of us? Don't overestimate yourself, tomboy because you are no match for us," Tiffany said with her haughty attitude.
"I know I don't stand a chance against four of you…," Audrey said, admitting reality. Her words earned laughter from other supporters of the girls in the classroom.
"But that doesn't mean that I can't take perfect care of the one in my possession," Audrey said unwaveringly. Her words stopped the three other girls from carrying out their plans of seizing Audrey.
With the way she grabbed Nora's neck, any slight mistake will lead to Audrey snapping the girl's neck.
No matter how much they wanted to teach the gutsy girl a lesson for embarrassing them in front of so many people, they couldn't take the risk.
Just then a girl with her hair tied into pigtails rushed into the classroom.
"Audrey, I heard Joanna's voice crying for help…,"
"And where the hell did you hear her voice?" The impatient Audrey asked sharply, not allowing the girl to complete her sentence.
"It came from the ladies restroom. I think she is locked in there," The girl finished her words in a hurried tone. Audrey spun and glared at the three girls knowing very well that this was all their handiwork.
"You girls should pray that she is all right or else I will get back at all of you even if it is the last thing I do," Audrey said angrily. She released Nora and almost immediately she turned and jumped out of the window despite that they were on the third floor of the building.
Those in the classroom thought she did this because she was afraid of the wicked girls' wrath but the truth was jumping out of the window instead of running all the way to the first floor was the fastest way to get to Joanna.
"I swear I will make those two good for nothing friends pay dearly for this embarrassment they caused me today," Nora said fiercely, as she continued massaging her aching neck and hands.
