Hey, y'all! I hope y'all enjoy this next chapter during this time of boredness. I know it's been FOREVER since I last updated, but I have an excuse.

It's less dark than the past two-three. Hope y'all enjoy it! Remember, reviews, responses, questions, critics are ALWAYS welcome!

Back to the Present: Meanwhile: No One's POV

The 5 quickly sped back to Auradon Prep. Quinn was in the lead with Are and Avy behind him who was followed by Colt and Calli in the back. They managed to get back in a bit over 5 minutes while it took them 15 minutes to get there. They quickly parked their Vespas, Are having to lean back to swing his leg over so he could hold Avy bridesmaid, and ran inside.

They ran inside their place and each set out for different tasks Colt instructed.

"Are, set Avy on the couch facing the back of it. Calli, grab a bowl of cold water. Quinn, lock the door then help Are take Avy's shirt off." Colt then ran to grab his medkit.

Once everyone finished their task, Colt checked on Avy and her wounds.

"They seem to be healing fine. I'm just worried about her overexerting herself and that can reopen the injuries," Colt explained to the others.

"So, now what?" Calli asked. Colt sighed, "If we were on the Isle or regular people, I'd say no fighting or working out too hard. I'm also wondering if she leans down, her wounds'll reopen." He sighed again. "Basically, we're gonna have to wait till she's up 'n' movin' to see." Everyone nodded accepting and understanding his decision.

After a minute, they started to see Avy trembling. They looked at her in alarm, then scrambled towards her. Are was still by her head and holding her hand because she wouldn't allow him to leave. He tried to give Colt space but when he started to loosen his grip, Avy's hand held tighter. He tried two more times, but the same thing happened. So he just sat on the couch with her head in his lap. Quinn kneeled by Avy's head, Calli was next to Quinn and Colt overlooking them all from standing behind the couch.

After two more minutes, she went still. There was a moment of pure endless silence and worry that ended once she opened her eyes and bright emerald green eyes showed out.

Avy's POV

When I opened my eyes, I saw Are's face cautiously looming over mine, his eyes filled with worry.

"Hey Avy-Crazy, how you doin'?" he asked. I didn't answer.

"Avy?" I heard him ask, more concerned. I didn't say a word.

"Avy, c'mon. This isn't funny," I heard my brother say. "Tell us if you're okay or not." But the thing is, is that I couldn't. I couldn't do anything except see Ianira's body and hear my parents' and raper's voices shouting at me.

"Avy, you've got to talk to us," I heard Colt say with concern, but trying to sound professional.

"Boys, I think we should take her to our room," Calli said.

"Why?" asked Quinn.

"Because I said so!" Calli snapped.

"Okay, okay. We're doin' it, we're doin' it. Chill Calli," I heard them mumble over each other. I felt myself being lifted up and heard Are say to Quinn,

"Calli is one bossy girl."

"I heard that!" Calli called to Are from wherever she was.

"Plus she's got ears of a bat," Quinn whispered back.

"First of all, wouldn't it be a dog? Second of all, wouldn't that encourage you to not say anything negative 'bout me?" Cali questioned. A small twitch of my mouth appeared from the three weirdos, but it was barely there before my past overwhelmed me again in the waking world.

"Useless, bratty, unnecessary, replaceable, a nobody," Mother hissed.

"Irritating, irresponsible, ignorant, naive, annoying," Father growled.

"Fat, ugly, stupid, aggressive, uptight, helpless, nothing," my raper snarled.

"WEAK," they all said simultaneously.

After a moment, I heard the door close and I got nervous.

I'm gonna get hurt. Oh no, what'd I do? What did I do?! I panicked in my head. Then I heard Calli saying,

"Calm down Avy. It's just me. No one else is here. Look at me," she kept repeating herself over 'n' over 'n' over and I slowly managed to follow her instructions till everything except reality was gone. I saw Calli smiling at me.

"Are they gone?" she softly asked. I nodded, not wanting to say anything. I sat up and started to get out of my bed, but Cal put a hand up.

"Wait, I think we should do somethin'!" I raised a brow wondering what exactly. She smirked mischievously and I was torn between running in terror or smirking in confusion back.
