Good bye

AURORA'S P.O.V

I was really curious with a device she provided me, Rose and Vii followed me behind as if they were some normal couples hanging in the corridor bunking classes

we were following Mille just a couple of minutes ago, curious about what she was going to do, and also afraid to work alone with the new device, she wasn't clear about what we had to do

so we ended up following here, so here we were right before the Admin, suspecting she might be here since she was talking about revenge. and we could only do guesses now because she had vanished into thin air after coming out of the lavatory

"what do we do now," Vii asked looking around him to check my position, I patted on his left arm indicating that I was here.

"let's break in" Rose suggested.

"it'll alarm the authorities" I hushed, I knew I can't be seen, so I'll have to be extra cautious while speaking.

"then follow me" Rose whispered and she stood before the great white door where all the mysteries are kept within.

the big door creaked and opened, the same women who introduced me to Slicora Silver stood there, smiling as if she were a robot

"what can I do for you?" she asked her, in her melody voice which would put down anyone who thinks there was harm here.

Rose handed me her device which Mille had given her and she pushed me forward and I understood what she was trying to say, I went behind her and applied the liquid carefully without it touching my skin

"We...um..." Vii was trying to answer here, whereas she slumped to the floor

"Easy-peasy" Rose looked at him and he smiled at her adorably, I wished Kaz was here, he would've looked the same way at me and I missed him. I wondered what he was doing and whether the Virus had affected him, maybe he wondered the same things about me too.

"that's mah gurl" he hugged her and I couldn't help but let a drop of tear escape my left eyes. okay, now I officially miss Kaz more than ever.

we entered the weird white hallway and checked the cameras which were flooding the area, I zapped the anti-camera radio, and all the cameras were turned off, I smirked at the bloody good device which just was making our day better and better

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHH" we all heard Mille scream and we ran towards the direction where the scream came from, my heart skipped a beat for the second time in the day when I realised it was Ms Silver's room, who killed Jo and now she held Mille as a hostage.

"who's that?"Rose asked me and when she saw my bewildered reacted she backed away and Vii seemed to recognise that voice.

"is it a trap?" he asked while he was in a position to pounce at anyone who comes out of the room.

"it wouldn't be, I'll go in, I'll signal and you guys come in" I pointed at the golden earrings I was wearing, we discovered that in her backpack and of course Vii found it very cool.

I entered through the closed door smoothly and saw the torcher she was doing to Mille, I wanted her to stop, say her, hold her, but if I do that now, she'll capture me too and I can't signal them also. I checked my pocket for any device which would put her down and all I had was a sleep drug which would make her inactive for at least an hour.

I slowly walked towards them, my cat feet slithering on the floor, meanwhile, she took the knife and scratched another hand of Mille and I suppressed my scream, I was on the verge of crying

be brave, be strong

I warned myself, I ran to her and pressed the pill near her neck and she fell with a thud, I removed my invisibility device and looked at the half-conscious Mille, sitting on the chair with all her hands and legs tied to it.

"Mille" I shook her face and she looked at me, unable to keep her eyes open.

"guys come in" I shouted on the microphone and they dashed inside with a fraction of second rushing to my aid.

"We shouldn't have left her alone" Rose looked away from the freshly cut wounds.

"guys, check the bag, there must be something which might help her," I told and I grabbed the bag from Vii and I started checking it, Rose wandered around the room and was amused at how flawless the surface was, even the one which contained a bookshelf within, didn't seem as if it could open.

"ahh, here it is!" I took the activation pill, which said that it'll heal any wound within no time, I was so curious about this bag and inventions and it felt like dream. and I wanted to ask her all these, but I knew this wasn't the right time, we will have a lot of time together after all this is over.

I plugged the pill into her mouth and she blinked her eyes a few times, I couldn't believe what I saw, her wound on the leg vanished as if it was never there, and even I would have believed it was never there if it wasn't for the torn dress. she pulled me into a hug as soon as I untied both her hands, and she pulled away, Vii helped me undo the Straps on her legs.

"let us get moving," she said grabbing her backpack and pulling me to the edge of the room instead of the door.

"no wait, we have to get Rick!" Rose told and I completely forgot about him in all the mess.

"where is he?" Vii asked.

"he's in the laboratory, checking my blood sample," I told, I felt something wasn't right but I ignored the feeling, today I am gonna get out of this hell hole and see Kaz and Lily, I couldn't wait to say Lily about her daughter who had just saved me.

we all walked towards the laboratory after disabling all the cameras in the hallway, I rushed inside the laboratory to find Rick clutching a metallic box in hands similar to the one I had in the backpack.

"Rick we are gonna get out of here!" I exclaimed and ran near him, he wished the same too, now finally we're going to go out

"don't....come...near" that was all he mouthed, he fell on the floor, with new holes popping out from his body, it felt terrible and looked really hurtful, he was jerking his body up and down on the floor and we all backed away.

"Someone injected him the Virus" Mille mouthed and looked at the body which was full of life, suffering from the tremendous pain.

"But who," I asked, the tears I held back all along, was drifting out of my eyes as if I had no control over them.

"How else do you think she was prepared for an attack, you guys were acting suspiciously after Jo had gone missing and when was the last time you attended classes? " she asked us looking serious, she was right, Slicoria was suspecting us for so long and we haven't realised

"how do we save Rick!!"Vii shouted it was the first time I saw him cry after the day he hugged me for telling the whereabouts of his sister.

"I can't do anything about it, he'll live for 10 minutes with the unending agony and tell me, Vii, can you find an antidote with 10 minutes" she knew she was talking rude, but she knew it was practical.

"no no no, he can't die" I rushed towards him, I couldn't possibly let her live with the unending agony, it was all because of me! he offered to help! he cared for me! and now he's gonna be dead in few minutes?

"Aura, take the box out with the virus killing gloves and let's just get the hell out of here," she told, but all I could see for was Rick screaming from inside, asking me to help

the guy reminded me of Qwezyl, who offered me a plate of fresh fruit just to bring up a conversation with me

"no, you're not gonna leave me" I screamed hoping that he'll hear, somehow fight this virus as Mille held me back from jumping into him.

he helped me pick up my timetable even before picking up his, the guy who made me lose every time we played multiplayer on the arcade

"Please don't" I sobbed slumping to the floor, I can't lose any more people in my life

"Aurora" Rick whispered in Agony as he looked one final glance at me before I could see his lifeless eyes.

"NOOOOOOO" I screamed and Vii joined my scream when he realised why I was screaming
