385-Let's Go Home Now.
She didn’t tell me what she meant by that, and I couldn't ask her because we had reached the academy. The whole ambiance had changed. We were able to hear the screams even outside the academy. Lazio and I bolted towards the entrance and found everyone trying to fight to their best abilities.
I whistled, and the witches scattered around for some time. The students approached me after realizing I could help them.
I wasn't sure how long I could keep doing that.
We reached our floor and found everyone gathered in that same hallway.
"Enya!" the principal approached me with much hope in his eyes. "Help us," he said, and I gave him a faint nod.
"Are you okay?" Corbin pushed the principal aside to inquire about my well-being.
"I am fine. Maybe we can use some loud music to get them distracted. It seems like they are more sensitive to sound," I advised, and everybody got to work gathering all the speakers they could find to adjust them on the floor below ours.
The moment they played the music, the witches slowed down, but it also started giving others headaches.
"What do we do now?" Lazio asked, standing beside me and helping the wounded students around.
"I don't know." I shook my head. "I really have no idea what we can do," I confessed.
"It is okay. The witches have been informed." Corbin had been sticking to us this whole time. I don't know if he felt guilty because he was the one who brought Moana in, or was he just trying to be a part of this mission of saving the world?
"Why would they help us, Corbin? They hate us, remember?" I reminded him in a harsh tone. One could see the look I was giving him. He understood that I blamed him for letting that snake live with us and getting her hands on us.
"Look! I get it. I messed up. But I am trying to help. We would have never known what she was up to. She started acting crazy once she found out how beloved you are," Corbin yammered, picking up the passed-out she-wolf to lay her down in one of the rooms while I rubbed her palms between my hands to warm her up.
"Beloved? I am everything but loved by anyone; I look around and see my own mates giving me these looks I can’t decipher; every single day, I feel judged," I muttered to him. Lazio walked out of the bottom after getting a wet towel to wrap around the girl's bruised arm.
"I am so—ryy!" Corbin mumbled, "I know the witches used to hate us. But after we let two of their students stay with us, they were open to any kind of friendship with us." Corbin suggested, watching Lazio sneak a glance at us two.
"The two students that ended up in a bad state? One of them was killed by us, and the other had gone nuts?" I scoffed at him for thinking anyone would come to help us.
