Sarah's POV
A couple of days had passed since then and everything was back to normal. The only thing that wasn't had been Liam's leg, which had quickly improved until the point that you couldn't tell he had suffered an accident two days ago. Doctors couldn't believe it.
That day, I walked through the canteen looking for my friend, Erica. Our friendship had been a bit unstable since she was bitten, but I had to check on her once in a while, just to make sure sure she wasn't plotting anything. However, I couldn't find her no matter where I looked. I talked to the boys to see if they knew anything.
-I vote for Cat Woman and Wonder Woman – Benny was saying.
-Why not Viola and Ellen from The Witch's House? – asked Liam.
-Hey, guys! – I waved – What are you talking about?
-Er… um… it's not about having you and Erica cosplay and go to the Comic-Con with us, that's for sure.
I decided to act as if I hadn't heard Rory. I had no time for that.
-Have you seen Erica today?
-I… think so – Ethan said – Wasn't she hanging out earlier with the girls from the debate club?
-You have a debate club?
-Whoa, Liam! – Benny said, raising his hands – you don't wanna go near them. Everything you say to those girls can be turned against you as sexist behaviour.
-I don't want to imagine what you'd have told them to gain that answer, Benny – Sarah sighed – However, it's true that they're a bit scary and agressive towards men.
-But why is Erica with them? – Liam asked – She didnt't struck me as that kind of girl.
-You're right – I said – She hardly thinks about nothing that's not herself. There's something fishy going on here. Excuse me.
I started to walk away, but turned back.
-And don't even think about taking us to the Comic-Con, much less in disguise.
-It's called cospl…
-I don't care how it's called!
As soon as I stepped out the canteen, I ran towards the debate club. And there they were. Almost a dozen of girls were there, and among them was one I knew far too well.
-Hey, Erica! – I called – I've been loooking for you.
-Oh, hi, Sarah – she greeted me with a smile and a hug.
I noticed she had applied herself some kind of black lipstick. It didn't suit her at all.
-Ah… Erica, are you ok? Since when do we hug?
-Well, I just thought we women should always stay united, especially in a place like this, with so many degenerate males around.
-Erica? You sound a bit…
-Improved? I've realized my mistakes, Sarah. I've been depending too much on men, what they think and how they act. I'm done with it.
-But, Erica… I thought you liked having boys all around you.
-That Erica is dead now, Sarah! Come – Erica said, pulling my hand with her vampire strength – Come, sisters! My friend here needs some… make-up.
Then the rest of the girls turned and I saw her faces. A couple of cheerleaders, members from the science club, players of the basketball team… And they all showed evil, dark smiles. Dark because of the same black lipstick they were all wearing. The same Erica had. They walked menacingly towards me.
