Ok. This will be the last chapter I add for a while. I have to edit the others and I have work to do. I know it's at a cliffhanger...but hey...I was thinking of taking this chapter out too...and that would've been worse...right? Anyways, hope you like it. Please review!
Alex was the first to reach Lucia's room. The moment he opened the door, he came to a horrible sight. There, in the middle of the room, was a huge, poisonous spider. In the corner, backed up by it, was Lucia, screaming and crying as the spider inched closer, its venomous fangs close. A few seconds later, Gabriella and Angela arrived. Hermione and Ginny arrived behind them. Ginny immediately left for a teacher with Ron, who was terrified and froze when he saw the spider. Harry and Hermione entered the room.
The spider was now inches away from Lucia. She screamed, panic seizing her. She kicked and screamed and tried to run as the spider got closer. Alex didn't wait a second longer and he ran past Hermione and Harry. He screamed at the spider who, immediately seeing a more interesting bait, left Lucia and went toward Alex. Before Hermione could shout a spell to make the spider disappear, the spider reached Alex and in less than a second, sunk its poisonous fangs into Alex's skin.
Lucia screamed and started crying. Hermione made the spider disappear a few seconds later, but not in time to stop the poison from getting into Alex's veins. Lucia started sobbing as she ran toward Alex. He fell to the floor, his body immediately growing numb. He stared at Lucia as she hugged him tightly, Gabriella and Angela reaching him a few seconds later.
At that moment, Professor McGonagall arrived. She took in a quick survey of the room and immediately took action. In less than a minute, Harry and Ron had wrenched Lucia, Gabriella, and Angela away from Alex. Hermione and Ginny helped Mrs. McGonagall get Alex up and together, they brought him to the infirmary, students staring as he went by. After he was gone, Lucia stared lifelessly out the window, a thought popping into her mind. Suddenly she froze, her body filling with anger. Gabriella and Angela stared (Harry and Ron had left). Lucia started shaking as she whispered, "Draco..."
"What?" asked Angela.
"It was Draco!!!" screamed Lucia, swinging around.
"Oh my god…but…how could he?!" asked Gabriella.
"He knows the one thing I'm terrified of is spiders!!! One time when I was little, I saw a spider and started screaming. He came and laughed. I got mad and threw a lamp at him. He got pissed and then made spiders appear everywhere. He just laughed when I screamed and cried. He knows I can't face them!!! And he was pissed with what I did with Pansy!!! So he got revenge!!!"
"Holy shoot…I never knew he would go so—"
"My father tried to kill me Gabbie. Why wouldn't Draco try too?" said Lucia, interrupting Gabriella.
"Wait, so what are you gonna do?!" asked Angela, anger in her voice.
Lucia smiled evilly, a smirk forming on her face.
"Oh I know exactly how to get him pissed and embarrassed. Don't worry. On top of the whole school knowing he's a player…they'll know something much more horrible…"
With that, Lucia laughed and left the room, searching for Hermione to get news on Alex. Gabriella and Angela looked at each other.
"This is definitely a war Gabbie…"
"Yes…definitely…"
