We don’t know what Nancy has been doing to get since she walked in here, and from her statement she said, Nancy told her that she was gonna put her in the mood. That’s exactly what she did, she put her in the mood. I don’t see what Dora did as a crime, it was an act of defense. ”
” And Nancy should be grateful she isn’t dead yet, because I’m pretty sure Dora was about to end her life with plugging out her eyes.” Another added.
” Joyce, what’s your say about this?” Mrs Gwen asked.
” First, we work on Nancy’s health and after that, I think she should be expelled from the school.” She suggested.
” That’s exactly what we should do.”
Mrs Joyce went to the small room to meet Theodora. She was pinching her fingers, her legs vibrating in fear.
The moment the door open, and Mrs Joyce walked in. She said, “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt her. I. . . I was only angry and, I wasn’t intending to kill her. She made me do this.”
” It’s okay, Dora, no one is blaming you for what you did. The most important thing is, no one died. What you did back there was defensive. Don’t blame yourself for what happened. And somehow, I’d say, she deserves it.”
Theodora exhaled in relief.
” So what now, are you going to tell Raymond about this? Please don’t, he’s gonna h@të me if you tell him.”
” Hey, I wasn’t thinking of doing that. What happened here has nothing to do with him. It’s our business, not his or anyone outside the camp. Except if Nancy’s condition gets too critical, then it becomes her parents business too.”
” But, is she gonna be alright?” She asked terrified.
” Of course, she will. But somehow, for now I don’t think she will. Her limbs and feet are really in bad shape. ”
” It shouldn’t have happened if she had listened to me.”
” That’s why you don’t have to blame yourself. I warned her too, she didn’t listen. It’s not like you’re the first she’s doing this to, there are many before you. People who she’s created fear and many who had left all because of her. So, for that reason, my sister’s and I have decided to expell her as soon as she recovers.”
” What? ”
” Yes, that is the only way we can avoid loosing a student. This is too much, Dora, I have tolerated enough. We all have.”
” We can still give her a chance. ”
” A chance to hurt you again? She’s had enough chances, it’s over. ”
Mrs Joyce was so angry that she wasn’t gonna listen to her. “Go to your room and get some rest. You’ve got class by seven.”
Theodora walked slowly to her room. All eyes were on her like she was a monster or some kinda world thief. Both the students from the witch section heard about the incident.
Are you sure she is a normal person or a witch? Her powers are way beyond human’s imagination.
“I am not a witch, Sophie is.” She kept saying that to herself. ” And I am never gonna be the third evil. ”
After the night class, Theodora left to the hospital, Nancy’s room. Every part of her body were covered in bandages.
She was sleeping but then woke up by the sound of the door closing.
“Why are you here, to kill me? Just do it already, since you have made my life a living hell.”
” Killing you has never been my option. Your life has nothing to do with me. Though, killing you won’t take a thing out of me but…. it’s not worth it. You aren’t my enemy, Nancy, someone else is.
We are supposed to be friends and not enemies. I didn’t do you wrong, why would you want me dead? Do you think I love the way I am far from home? I wanna go home, but here I am, training against the huge battle I have in the future.
I have one enemy, the one person I will do wh@tëver it takes to watch her die. You don’t deserve this, no one does. Mrs Joyce is gonna expel you as soon as you get better. But I forgive you, Nancy, and I’m gonna heal you but that’s on conditions.
You will let me be and tell the other students to do the same. Or you remain in this position, healing slowly and we both have our peace of mind. Your choice.”
Nancy took a long time to reply. ” First choice.” She finally said.
” Good. It’s gonna hurt badly… ”
” Just do it. I can handle the pain.”
Theodora touched her, she closed her eyes. Nancy was screaming, crying as Theodora twisted her legs and hands back in position.
She stood up. “How do you feel?” She asked.
“I can… I can feel my body again.” She breathed heavily. ” Thank you.”
“Don’t forget your promise, tell the other students to let me be.” With that, she left the room.
She went to the doctor. “Sir, I think the young lady in there doesn’t need the bandages anymore.” She said, referring to Nancy.
She left back to her room, laying on her bed, her eyes staring at the ceiling. “I am not a witch, and I ain’t the third evil.”
