THE PARTY'S AFTERMATH
GEPOV
Vendetta laid in a hospital bed and still was unconscious.
"You're friend should be fine." Nye began, "But as far as I know, she's been blocked." It said as it checked a clip board, "For who knows how long."
Everyone was speechless, what can you say to that?
"Uh, when will she be conscious?" Valkyrie asked, rubbing her arm.
"For at least thirty-three hours, I'll let you know when she's up." Nye escorted them out and everyone was still speechless.
"What do you think she was going to say?" Tanith asked.
"Maybe something about Oracle?" Ghastly guessed.
"In a bad way?" Rife asked and fiddled with his thumbs.
"I don't know. She has been framed before." Skulduggery brought up.
"Yeah, we know she wouldn't do anything willingly." Valkyrie countered with a good hint.
"Not willingly, no." he glanced at Rife, "We need Geoffrey and Philomena." Skulduggery said in a mysterious way.
"On it." Tanith said and whipped out her phone and texted them.
"Why are we getting them?" Rife asked.
"We need to get some answers from you." Valkyrie replied.
"I don't remember I did anything yesterday." Rife quickly said.
"Exactly." Skulduggery turned the corner to find them and Rife looked horrified.
"Why are you trying to scare him?" Valkyrie asked, "Is it not enough that his partner can't do magic? Let alone a friend?" Skulduggery turned back and.
"Right, sorry. I just forgot how scary I am." Skulduggery said. Rife nodded and was still rigid though.
"It's OK, Val. She'll be fine. C'mon the two are in quadrant 4c." Tanith grabbed Rife's wrist and dragged him to the two. Geoffrey was sipping some tea and Random was drinking a latte.
"We need your help guys." Valkyrie said, "We need to know what happened at the party from Rife, can you do that?" the two shrugged and grabbed some chairs for them.
"OK, Rife. What exactly happened at the party?" Geoffrey asked as he kept eye contact, even when sipping his tea.
Rife closed his eyes, "I arrived with Vendetta at the party two minutes before it started."
"Anything on your mind?" Philomena asked.
"Yeah, Ghastly, he wanted to worry about Oracle until the day after which was weird."
"I never said that." Ghastly countered.
"You sure he said that?"
"Positive, ask anyone." Philomena glanced at everyone and they nodded.
"When all your friends were there who did you ask first to dance and why?"
Rife's closed eyes tightened and he frowned, "I don't know I-" He lost the trance and his knees buckled.
"Rife? You OK?" Tanith asked.
"No." he answered and began to sway, "I'm not. My knees hurt.". And he fainted like Vendetta at the party.
"Shit!" Valkyrie murmured.
My aunt gave me a freakishly long red scarf, excellent. Now I have black fedoras, overcoat and a funky tie! I feel so weird now… my little cousin is crying because she doesn't get why I want these things *sigh*.
