Chapter Six

-Camille's POV-

Camille stood by the door. Her head was spinning and she didn't have the usual smile on her face. She had a worried look on her face as she sent some of Elli's helpers to look for them. Elli wasn't doing so well either. Camille had to send Elli to the hospital. She would've gone with them, if Peter and Zander didn't remind her of the party. They offered to go in her place, and Camille hesitated but agreed to their offer.

As the first few guests started to arrive, Camille is frantic. She silently prays, then tries to reach them by headset.

"Guys. Come to the ballroom now! Guests are already arriving and I'm the only one here! Where are you?!" Camille waited for a few moments until they all spoke at once.

"Maren's passed out! I-"(AJ)
"I'm lost and hung-" (Tiny)

"I'm trying! But there was thing by the wind-"(Sarah)

"Elli's at the hospital now. She-"(Zander on Elli's)

"Guys?! I'm kind of- wait hospit-"(AJ)

"I'm still hun-"(Tiny)

"I'm here! I'm by the stage!" Sarah screamed over all of them. I whirled around and she was already setting up the last of the music. I saw the AJ's helpers (Jonathan, Luke, Aidan, and Nico) come out of this random back door. AJ was on Nico's back and it looked like she looked exhausted. Marie's helpers (Logan, Percy, Nate, and Harry) followed them. Marie was held being held bridal style by Percy. She looked very pale and tired. I waved signaled for them to take them to the kitchen, where they should find lounge chairs in the back.

Adam, Caspar, and Andy (another Camille helper) walked up to shortly after. I had asked them to go back to their dorms and come back with suits. I made them do this so they could fill in for my exhausted, sick, or lost friends.

Most of Marie's and AJ's helpers (Nico and Percy stayed back) decided to dress up as well. Even though we only four other people, they all decided to help host with Sarah and I.

Some of Tiny's helpers came in through some random door, but they had informed me that they were lost and it was luck that brought them back to the ballroom. I thanked them and rang tiny in the headset.

"Tiny! Where are you exactly?" I asked

"Not sure, it's dark and I'm starving." She answered. This may be harder than I thought….

"What's around you? Describe it" I said looking at a map I picked up in the Kitchen.

"There are windows, but they are small and towards the ceiling. There are five doors to my right and three to my left. They are no lights on, and this place smells old." She said.

I looked at the map, there wasn't a place like that in the ballroom….I flipped the paper to look at the second floor paper. I didn't find anything…

Wait. Windows at the ceiling? Windows….

Basement! I flipped my papers, but was there a basement?

I wondered if there was one, but I don't remember a staircase or anything.

Just then, AJ walked out of the kitchen with Nico behind her. It looked like she was forcing herself to be awake. She was swaying back and forth and she was tripping a lot.

She stumbled over a few chairs, and made her way to me. I looked at her once, and became very worried. Her usual dark brown eyes were almost blackish grey. It shocked me; I've never seen her eyes change. She hugged my arm and almost fell asleep standing.

I looked at Nico, who nodded and picked her up, bringing her back to the Kitchen. Sarah walked over to me and patted me on the shoulder. I looked around; all the guests were eating and lightly talking. The ensemble agreed to lay for the full gala, and we thanked them profusely. Adam, Caspar, and Andy were all standing near the front door, greeting the incoming guests.

"Camille! Sarah!" Someone yelled as they burst through the door. We looked over and saw Zander and Peter running towards them. The guests gasped at their attire and manners.

"You need to go to the hospital! Elli's not doing so well!" I sniffed. I reached up to my headset and pressed a small yellow button.

"Code Yellow. Go to the hospital immediately. This is serious."

I sighed and began to run towards the door. We haven't had a code yellow in a while, they only happen every few years...Code yellow was when Elli's became sick. It was always dangerous. She would get really high fevers and she would stop breathing sometimes. It scared us so much.

When we got to the hospital we went into the east wing, already knowing which room. We practically owned this room. When one of us was sick, it was this room.

I hated this room.

As we came closer and closer to the door, I was thinking about how serious this one might be. I decided to not look, and wait outside the door. I slid down the wall and sat with my head in my hands. This time of the year was always tough.

-Tiny's POV-

Okay, I'm pretty sure my stomach is eating my own stomach now. I have been sitting on this floor for hours. I tried to remember where I came from, but both sides looked pretty equal. I groaned as a bright light came from my bag.

What is it this time…

I looked at the headset and blanched. I was expecting one of the bright white dots to be glowing, telling me someone had a message for me.

No.

In the center of the right headphone were six matching light bulbs. I stared at it, as the yellow light bulb blinked at me.

-Marie's POV-

The bright light blinded me as I opened my eyes. My head throbbed as I sat up from my awkward sleeping position. I glanced around.

Why am I not in bed?

I looked down to see my party dress on. Then I remembered.

"Shoot!" I shot up and attempted to run out, but it was like I had two left feet. I stumbled and fell onto top of something.

I got up and looked down; AJ was sleeping on the floor with some jacket on top of her. I quietly tip toed around her then sprinted the rest of the way to the door. I fixed my dress as I stepped out. All of the guests were looking at me.

Damn.

I smiled then walked over to the table where my friends should have been, except it was empty. My bag was slung over my chair. I grabbed it and reached for the headset. I looked it over once, to see if I had a message and I didn't. I casually put it on, and ate the food at the table, waiting for my friends.

"Marie? Where are you!?" I heard someone scream. I looked around and saw Percy heading towards me.

Did something when I slept?

"Marie, we need to go to the hospital. NOW." He said firmly, then grabbed my arms and pulled me up to stand.

"Why" I said sassily.

"Because of this!" He grabbed my headset off my head and showed my the blinking light bulb. I gasped.

"Let's go!" He said and I obliged.

-Sarah's POV-

I sat in a chair in Elli's room as she was being hooked up and examined.

Camille didn't have the guts to see Elli after what happened with dropping chandeliers. Adam, Caspar, Andy, Zander, Peter, and Henry (one of my helpers) were waiting outside the door with her. I would've, but I really wanted to see how she was doing.

The doctors said she wasn't doing well from the massive blood loss, and it wasn't good because she had AB blood.

(AN: TINY! That is the same blood type Kyoya and Hunni have!)

The doctors were worried because of the rare blood type she had. They didn't have to give her. Nurses were rushing around, trying to see if they could find a donor.

Elli was slipping fast, she need blood NOW. Camille, Sarah, and Marie (who finally arrived) were crying.

The seven boys (Adam, Caspar, Andy, Henry, Zander, Peter and Percy) were sitting there watching them all. They all had worried faces, except for one.

Peter.

(OOOOHHHHHHH. CLIFFHANGER.)
