She woke up in confusion. She didn't exactly remember what happened after she passed out by the herb. Slowly, Serena saw Michell in front of her. "What have you done!" yelled Serena as she realised her hands were tied up against the chair. She remembered Jack coming by. "What did you do to him! Where is he!"

"Serena, Serena. Even now you are showing weakness for that human. It is something we cannot tolerate, sister."

"Well, sister. Do I need to tell Natalie about your weaknesses! Hmm? The one in France. The one in Spain. Italy. England. Should I continue you reminding you of your endless list of weaknesses?"

"There is a difference between you and me, Serena. I wouldn't let anyone stand between us and these vermin we call humans. I would kill every single man on earth without any hesitation, unlike you. You, Serena, have no idea what loyalty is."

"Unlike me? You spared that-" Michell slapped Serena with her fist. The diamond ring Michell was wearing hit her hard. It left a scratch on her left cheek. "Bitch," she said quietly.

"We would never speak about that again, dearest. Besides that, he is definitely dead now. Unless 'vampires' are an actual thing, Ser." She paused. "Awh, remember that one incident? We had so much more when you were a blood drunk whore. We would laugh. Drink. Have fun. And do it all over again." Michell moved her hips around. She was lost in the moment.

Serena laughed at her. "I am sorry. Am I a blood drunk whore? Says the madam of bloody men! Trust me on this, you will regret this moment, Michell!"

"Oh, Serena. You know we all must listen to Her Royal Highness, Natalie, and do whatever she pleases. I can't disobey anything when she has given me strict orders to keep you here today. At least Nat doesn't have to see your pathetic behaviour while she is clearing up the mess you made. Again."

"My mess? What could I have possibly done now, Michell?" asked Serena angry. Michell ignored her question. She tried to get herself out of the ties but her strength hadn't come back yet.

"Don't bother trying, Serena. I made sure the seaweed is far from out of your system. That is what you get for being a traitor." Michell smiled. "Time to go to school and see how dear Jackson Smith is doing. I wonder if he missed a real woman like me." She saw Serena's expression. She looked kind of relieved yet she failed hiding it from Michell. "You can stop being a terrible actress. Your human toy is still alive. For now. Natalie wanted him to be pure for her plans." Michell closed the door and left.

"Michell!" Serena tried to move the chair. She had to find Jackson. Natalie couldn't be trusted nor could Michell. "Michell! You can't leave me here!" she shouted again. "Michell!"

-

"Nat, I am coming your way. - No, she is too weak to do anything. - Don't you ever trust me on anything! - Fine. Have it your way... - I said nothing!" She hung up being irritated by Natalie. It hurt her that even now when Serena betrayed them, Natalie couldn't just trust her loyal sister. Michell was completely upset and angry. The worst combination for a Siren like her.

"Michell?" said Nathaniel Royce. He saw she wasn't being herself. "Do you need a ride?" He couldn't resist her appearance and bit his underlip as soon he saw how short Michell's dress was. "Like really, it is fine."

She noticed his desperate breathing. "Actually yes, I am in the need of your helping hand." She pushed him against his black car. He looked shocked. "Are you scared of me, Nathaniel?"

"My brother. I thought you.. - What if someone sees us?" Nathaniel looked around. The streets were clear. However, he couldn't stop worrying that someone would see him with his brother's girlfriend.

She rolled her eyes. "Your brother didn't hesitate when I wanted to do it public," said Michell, trying to make him jealous.

"Well, screw my brother!" He grabbed her by her hair. Nathaniel pressed his lips on hers.

"You want to screw your brother instead?" Michell said seductively. She wanted to say something else but Nathaniel shushed her by kissing her again. "Nathaniel." He pressed his fingers against her lips. Nathaniel grinned at her. "Are you just going to keep standing there? I have more things to do than you." With that, Nathaniel continued moving his fingers down from her lips to her chest. He saw a necklace shining through her shirt. Nathaniel touched it.

"Feeling better, duchess?" the young man said as his words shattered the moment.

"Quiet," she demanded.

"What is the matter, baby?" Nathaniel continued kissing her neck while playing with her necklace.

"I said: quiet," Michell grabbed him by his throat. Staring into his eyes, Nathaniel did what she asked of him. "Sorry, dearest. You hit a soft spot there." She bit into his neck deeply and sucked the blood out of his veins.

"Quiet! Come on, guys! Principal Johnson has an announcement to make!" yelled Mr. Richardson silencing his students.

"Thank you, Henry. As some of you guys may have heard by now, the police have shut down the entire area around the beach."

"Probably cause Jackie here had a wild night with that new girl!" yelled Joseph who sat in front of Jackson. Jackson kicked his leg. "Ouch man. Not cool."

"Royce! Smith! Knock it off or my office!" said the principal with a threatening tone. He was about to continue his announcement but then Nathaniel kicked open the door a bit too loudly. "Royce!"

"Yes?" said both Nathaniel as Joseph.

"Not you, Joseph! Your brother!" He closed his eyes while taking a deep breath. "Nathaniel, please sit down. Quickly." He opened his eyes again. "That means now, Nathaniel!" While Nathaniel was making his way to his seat, the principal finally continued his announcement: "Well, that took us a few minutes, gentlemen. I will get straight to the point as some of you can't seem to keep their focus without any commentary." The principal paused briefly. "The police found a body last night. A dead body."

-

"A dead body? In Sweet River? When does that ever happen?" said Joseph as the students left the classroom.

"Probably, some no-lifer who couldn't deal with their lives. Pathetic," laughed Nathaniel.

"Or probably cause you rich entitled bastards allure the devil himself." Jane gave him a dirty look. "Does your brain even work, Nathaniel Royce! Principal Johnson was talking about a murder on a student. One of us! That isn't some pilot crash accident.."

"Little harsh for the know-it-all," laughed June. "She does have a point, though. That wasn't really cool of you, Royce. Some of us actually cared about," she couldn't bring herself to say his name, "You're a real piece of shit!" June gave him a small pinch. "At least your brother knows where to stop."

"Oh, fine, I shouldn't have said it but the only reason why Jane is so hostile towards me, is because she is still upset by the one time I left her sexually frustrated." Nathaniel walked away with Joseph who had been quiet since this entire conversation.

"How is that relevant to the death of our classmate, Nathan? How!" yelled Jane as she followed him.

"So tense, I bet your street rat doesn't please you enough, huh." Nathaniel licked his lips while he got awfully close to Jane. "I surely know how I could make you scream."

"Clearly, you are the one being sexually frustrated here, brat! Did someone reject you on your way here? Is that why you have no sensitivity at all!"

Joseph turned around and looked at them. "Yeah, why were you late this morning? We always leave together, unless-"

"I just went out for a..ride," he lied. "I needed some air. Some quality time."

"Quality time, funny. Everyone knows what that means, Nathaniel but the real question is why don't you tell your brother what happened this morning?" Nathaniel said nothing. "Or should I tell him about your short ride?"

Jackson had caught up to them and said, "Guys, this is not the time nor the place."

"Whatever, Jack. Take his side like always. I am out of here." Jackson grabbed her by the arm. "Actually, your dad asked me to bring you home safely and since my ride is your ride home.."

"No!" Jane glanced at Nathaniel. "I am not going into the same car as him!"

"That is what they all say, princess," smirked Nathaniel. He saw how disgusted Jane felt by his words, he enjoyed every second of it. Jackson gave him a slap on his chest. "What? It is true. Everyone loves a good old ride with a Royce man." Nathaniel thought back about this morning. Michell surely liked having a ride with him, at least that was what Nathaniel thought.

"You are trash, Royce. And that is even an insult to trash." Jane rolled her eyes. "Can we please go now before I-"

"You kiss me with your lips?" he asked with pride. "I am open for any kind of exercise, Jane. Weren't you good at oral exams?"

"Oh, for fuck sake, Nathan. This even grosses me out," said Jackson as he put his hands in front of his eyes. "Knock it off, will ya? She is still my cousin." Nathaniel winked at him. "What?"

"You have nothing to worry about, Smith. Between you and me, I have my eyes on-"

"Michell!" shouted Jackson. "Sorry, mate. I need to ask her something," he tapped Nathaniel's shoulder. "I will see you two in the car. Please, spare each other." Jack walked over to Michell. He could see she was pleased by this. A part of him wondered why yet Jackson could only find it an appealing quality of her. "Michell?" he said kindly.

"Jackson Smith, well, well," Michell said with her typical seductive voice. "What can I do for you?" She placed her index finger on his chest, moving it in circles. Jackson looked kind of confused. "What is the matter, dearest?" Her innocent eyes spoke to him. "Ah, you aren't afraid of me, are you?"

"Nn-no. I just wondered, do you know where Serena is? I haven't seen her since-" Before Jackson could finish his words, Michell kissed him on his lips.

What the actual fuck.

Nathaniel, Joseph, Jane, even principal Johnson who just had grabbed a cup of coffee, were all thinking the same thing as Jackson. What is it that makes Jackson Smith so loved by these three mysterious women?

"Michell!" yelled Serena as she kicked open the door. She looked terrible. Her hair was all messed up. Her blouse was half open. Her jeans were more ripped open than the average amount every girl had. Nevertheless, her expression was more alive than ever before. Especially when she saw Jack was still kissing Michell. "Leave him alone."

"Miss Pearls, it is unacceptable that-" Serena looked the principal in the eye and immediately shut him down. "I guess, I will see you in my office later. Children." He didn't even walk away yet and Serena was already stepping closer to them.

"Oh, look at that. There is Serena." She wiped away the lipstick of Jackson's lips. He was still kind of paralyzed by what just happened. It was almost like he couldn't resist her. Michell turned around to face her sister. "My dear, you look awful. What on earth has happened to you? Was that why those dashing sorority guys dropped you off this morning at like six?"

Now everyone looked at Serena. She couldn't tell the real reason. Not in front of this crowd. It would have sounded unbelievable. Serena grabbed Michell by her arm and dragged her into the girl's toilet. "Ouch, baby sis. You are incredibly strong for someone we drugged." Michell pulled herself away from Serena's control. "Sorry about your lover boy. I had to end it one way or another and I kinda enjoy seeing your reputation die. You are already loved enough. Even when you do everything wrong, Natalie always chose you. It sickens me."

"Is that why I deserve all this, Michell? Because you are jealous of me? You are jealous of someone who has no control. Of someone who just killed." Serena shattered in tears.

"Serena, who did you kill?" Michell dropped her act. She was genuinely concerned about Serena's confession. She knew Serena wouldn't lie about this. "Serena, tell me. Now. Serena!"

"I killed one of them, Michell. I couldn't stop. I was so angry. So upset. It happened." She paused. "Again."

"Sorry, again?" Michell grabbed her phone and instantly called Natalie. "Pick up, Nat. Come on." Serena wiped away her tears. She slapped the phone out of Michell's hands. "Serena!" Michell wanted to grab her phone but Serena rubbed seaweed into Michell's mouth. She fell down on the ground. "I just can't be bothered anymore. You have pushed me into this," Michell heard right before she passed out. "I am a blood drunk whore indeed, sister."
