"Bring the boy to me". Magnum said and the boy was forcefully brought to him
"Little boy, can you give me a strands of your hair?". He asked, but the boy shook his head sideways.
"Are you saying no to me?". Magnum laughed.
With one grip from Magnum, the boy shrieked in fear and Magnum cut the boy's hair with the knife.
He dipped the hair into the concoction and it foamed as bubble bursted out of the concoction and Magnum smiled.
He took the concoction and he forcefully turned it into the little boy mouth. Suddenly the little boy starting shaking and breathing heavily, the little boy held his head as he felt extreme pains.
"My head..My head". The little boy cried in pains, he suddenly fell to the floor, rolling and twisting his body in a weird way, his eyes flipped from white to black color at a time.
Magnum stood watching in pure horror, he stared at the concoction to see if it was the right one he made, obviously it was the right one. "What the hell happened?". He thought.
After struggling for some minutes on the floor, his body suddenly went numb.
Magnum squatted down and he touched the little boy but he was no longer breathing. His body was really cooled.
"He's dead". He mentally thought as he retracted his hands from the boy's body.
"I failed, I f**king failed!!". He yelled angrily and the cave shooked.

NEXT MORNING...
Crystalline woke up with a slight headache, she checked the time and she saw that she was already ten minutes late for school.
She wasted no time in running to the bathroom to do her morning business.
Minutes later she was done, she wore her uniform together with her scandals and stockings.She went to the table and she took the drug on it, she gulped down the drug with water and she squeezed her face because of the bitter taste.
She could decide to stay at home if she wanted to, but she hated skipping school on Mondays.
She grabbed her backpack and she went downstairs, on getting there she met her mum arranging plates of food on the dinning table.
"Mum". She called.
The moment Sarah saw her, she left what she was doing and she rushed to her as she engulfed her in a tight hug.
"I've missed you so much Jewel". Sarah said and Crystalline smiled.
After what happened the other day, she and Crystalline haven't saw eye to eye. Crystalline had locked herself, and she prevented anyone from coming to her room.
"Am sorry mum". Crystalline apologized and Sarah felt really happy as she hugged her more tighter.
"It's fine Jewel, it's really fine". Sarah said almost in tears, this was the first time her daughter was apologizing to her after she did something wrong.
"I'll be going to school now". She said as she pulled away from the hug.
She kissed her mum cheeks before leaving and Sarah waved her goodbye.
"She's really something else". Sarah smiled.
****
She got to the garage and Dave was already inside the car waiting for her as usual. She got into the car and he drove off.
She wore her headphone as she enjoyed the slow and cool song she's listening to.
She didn't know what's wrong, but for some reasons, she felt really tired and moody, it was like she was acting based on someone else's feelings and emotions.
Dave stared at her through the side mirrors and he wondered what was wrong with her, he knew she was never the silence type, so why the attitude? anyway it wasn't his issue, so he focused his eyes back to the road.
They finally arrived, Dave pulled over and he waited for Crystalline to get down from the car but she didn't. He honked the car inorder to inform her that they've gotten to their destination, yet she didn't buldged.
"Miss!, Miss!". He yelled and she jolted back in fright, due to how loud his voice was.
She glared angrily at him, but for some reasons unknown to her, she didn't reacted. She ignored him and she alighted from the car, then she walked away.
Dave watched her in surprised as she left. "The Crystalline he knew would have given him a sound slap topped with a heartbreaking insult, but she didn't, something is obviously wrong with her". He thought.

DIAMOND HIGH SCHOOL....
Crystalline got into the classroom, and immediately the student saw her, they kept shut.
Chloe walked passed her, and she greeted. "Good morning".
"Morning". Crystalline replied as she went and sat down on her seat and she rested her head on her locker, ignoring her friends.
The students murmured in awe, as they wondered if she they heard was from Crystalline.
"Did she just responded to my greetings". Chloe thought.
"What's wrong with Crystalline? on a normal day she'd have glared manically at Chloe". Barbie wondered.
"Something is wrong? this can't be!". Sapphire thought.
A junior student walked into the class and she greeted. "Good morning seniors, am sorry for entering your classroom unannounced, Miss Emily asked me to call senior Crystalline".
Crystalline raised her head from the locker, and she quietly followed the junior student out of the class room.
"Is something wrong with Crystalline? did she tell you anything?". Barbie asked.
"Why don't you ask her yourself". Sapphire retorted.
