The drug

AURORA'S P.O.V

I reached my hands to the far end of the bed and plugged out the small box and pulled it out, I locked the door properly and re-ensured my privacy and moved my attention to the metal box.

and I jerked when I heard a knock on the door, I quickly plugged the box under the bed in the same position and checked for any other evidence which would've suggested the disturbance of surrounding environment caused by the box

when I found none, I opened the door with my card and stared at Rick who had a primary medical kit in his hand and he rushed inside and placed them on the bed, I stood confused and worried, and I wanted him to go as soon as possible, not that I didn't trust him, just that I need some time to investigate the box alone before I tell it to him

"give me your hand," he told me and pulled me closer, my Inertia seemed to react heavily and I jerked forward. he pulled out a silver syringe and tried to gather blood from the same spot the drug was injected into me.

"what are you doing?" I hissed, impatient for him to leave.

"I need to investigate the drug in your blood" he carefully inserted the needle and I winced in the pain since my body was sensitive right now, I had no idea whether it was the weakness I was experiencing due to blood loss or the side effect of the drug.

"I'm sorry, hold still for a moment," he told and he kept his word and finished soon, as soon as he finished he placed my blood in a small silver box, and I suppressed my surprise, it was the same box I was waiting to open and examine, it was just smaller than what I was waiting to open, and I guessed it was used to store blood.

"I'll be back soon," he told, don't be I wished and I locked the door and I sighed. I ran to my bed and grabbed the box impatiently.

I opened the box and found a letter which had softly written letters which said,

I don't know why I am doing this to you, but I have to, I didn't have any other way to save my father, and I couldn't help but feel guilty for things I've done to you, so here is some information I gathered in the time I was here, our voices were being recorded by the mike kept under my skin by surgery, so I couldn't tell you, I'm sorry, I really am. your blood is very precious, very precious, it contains the cure DNA for the blood diseases they have created in their lab.

and soon, they are going to inject you with a drug which makes your curable blood go in vain for years, of course, they can't do it forever, but it'll stay until they've spread the virus to remaining humanity until the only people surviving will be the ones in the school.

and here is the blood I've taken extra from your body, to make up for everything I've done, I don't trust the headmistress and I'm going to see her right now, when I come back we'll prepare a map to go out and make more antidotes with your blood, I'll be back soon, I'm sure you'd be hospitalised after the heavy blood loss, they'll take this opportunity to inject the drug inside you, well that's my guess.

and I'm sorry I had to take so much blood from you for them, they are making Anditdote from your blood so humanity can depend on them to save us all from the deadly virus, and we can create same DNA pattern in your blood in my dad's lab, that was what we were searching for before the blast, to help millions, that was the first thing we did after my dad quitted his job in Vizyl corporation after getting to know about this virus

we were looking for a DNA pattern which is immune to the disease they were creating, and they had found it before us, and now that I have saved some of your blood, protect it or ask your friends to, I've made it portable so you can keep it anywhere you, unless and until the blood doesn't stay out of the box for more than 8 hours, it'll be safe

I really wish I wasn't made to do this, I'm sorry, I'll come back soon and we'll sort it out since I realised we could communicate through papers now

I didn't know what to feel, I wondered where Jo was, I felt bad for assuming things about her, and now I realised explosion and hindering everyone's lives was just a cover-up for them to affect millions worldwide.

and now I really need to tell this to Rick and Vii and warn them, I was so grateful to Rick to suspect about my contaminated blood by the drug, I ran out of the door and rushed to the student's laboratory where Rick told he's be

RICK'S P.O.V

I ran results under the microscope examining the blood sample of Aura's, something didn't seem right in the red blood cells, they seemed really normal and guessing the fact that Aura had lost so much blood

I sensed something was wrong in the normal behaviour of red blood cells which had a different element that I've never seen while examining anyone else's.

I zoomed in more to the convulsing yellow layers surrounding the red blood cells and found that they were enhancing the job of her usual metabolic activities, and I guessed it must be the drug she was injected with

even though everything seemed to be right, something wasn't right, I could feel that in my gut, I took a deep breath and looked around the deserted student's lab and I saw all the projects we had done

I looked under the microscope again, in case I find something apart from the blood, I changed my perspective to see the metabolism of her entire blood part to only the normal changes in the blood, I took some blood from my finger and placed it on the slide and compared it with Aura's

and then I saw it, a part of Aura's red blood cell was suppressed by the yellow layer, it was very hard to notice, but yes, the yellow layers were supressing a part of Aura's red blood cells and I wondered why

it might be causing her sensitivity to the syringe, but why this particular drug, I've never seen anything like this, not even in the higher blood-related book I've ever studied.

"Rickkkkkkk!!!!" I hear Aura scream as she entered the laboratory and I turned and looked at the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in the 18 years of life I lived

"what happened?" I asked her, my voice betrayed me by revealing how much I adore her, I straightened myself and folded my hands for support

"you...should...come...NOW" she breathed so hard that I had to hold her shoulders and make her relax, I didn't know what made her run like this and scream my name, now I was really worried after I saw the yellow layer suppressing one of the metabolic activities which weren't really important.

We both dashed across the corridor, leaving a trail of eyes following us. she opened the door and locked it, I was confused about what she was going to do now, inside locked doors

a part of me wished it was nothing serious but just that she was going to confess that she also likes me, but that was so stupid to even think in normal situations let alone now.

she handed me a large blood protector box, I wondered where she got this, she opened the box and handed me a piece of letter, and I just couldn't believe what I read, everything made sense now, Jo had known about everything all alone, Pour soul, she had to do this

but I was also angry on her for hurting the girl I love, making her feel vulnerable and sick, taking advantage when she was defenceless, but when I read the sentence about her meeting the headmistress

something struck me

"oh shit" I whispered
