Sometime later...
"What's that green stuff in the air?" Audrey asked while pointing forward.
The pointing was just a reflex. Everyone had noticed the smog already. It was pretty apparent from the wall they were sitting on.
"Whatever it is, it makes my skin crawl", Jade replied while looking at the goosebumps which had formed on her hands.
Her instincts were in chaos. She felt both the urge of wanting to attack and wanting to retreat. She felt a hatred from deep within her she couldn't understand at the same time. It was even more intense than the time with Abel.
"Hey, are you okay?" Emily asked while putting her hand on Jade's shoulder. She could sense that Jade was getting worked up. Remembering what they spoke about before. She quickly acted.
"Y... Yeah. I am now. Thanks for that" Jade replied while calming down. Feeling Emily's hand on her shoulder grounded her.
