Day Thirteen…
~~*****~~
Nathan was about to lose consciousness. The poison took effect almost immediately, weakening Nathan. He staggered a little and his body swayed. He felt like the world was spinning so he had to close his eyes. He held the wall, trying to steady his footings.
When he felt like he was going to fall, he leaned his back on the wall, his breathing hastened. Beads of sweat started to form on his forehead.
'This is not good,' Nathan thought to himself as he gazed at his opponent who was standing just a few meters away from him. The guy with a cap was still holding his knife.
This was the best opportunity to attack Nathan. He was defenseless and weak!
'Damn! Abigail… you will be the death of me,' Nathan lamented to his mind. He was distracted and was thinking of Abigail a while ago. That's why he didn't notice the enemy. He lowered his guard down.
If only he was paying attention to his surroundings, the attacker wouldn't have the chance to approach him. He could fend off his attack easily.
Nathan pressed his side to stop the bleeding of his wound. He was waiting for the enemy to move. He was in a dire situation right now. They were the only people in that comfort room.
If he was lucky enough, someone should come to witness this scene. At least, he could ask someone for help. He was not in a good condition to fight right now. He was at a disadvantage.
But just when he thought he still had the chance to escape, the man moved towards the door.
Bam!
'Damn! There will be no way out now.' Nathan clenched his fists.
A few seconds later, a loud thud was heard.
Thud!
Someone fell on the ground, blood spilling on the floor.

In the private booth, Dr. Doreen was already singing her favorite song. Stephen and Kathleen sang along with her, enjoying the beat of the music.
Abigail, who was still eating her fried chicken suddenly felt a pang of pain on the lower side of her abdomen.
"Aww!" She writhed as she held the side of her waist. She didn't know what was happening but her body felt like she was stabbed.
'Fuck! I'm familiar with this kind of pain…' Abigail frowned as she looked down, checking her body. 'Did someone stab my original body or what?'
Abigail was confused. She touched her body, checking for an injury but she found none. She was hurt but she was not bleeding.
Abigail was still clueless about what was happening when she felt nauseous. 'Damn. Am I going to faint because of this pain?'
She glanced at their companions. Then her eyes met Veronica. She was looking sharply at Abigail but she noticed something strange. Abigail's lips had become pale and she started to sweat as if she was feeling ill.
Veronica sneered at her, rejoicing. She could tell in one look that Abigail was not feeling well. 'What's wrong with her? Did she eat poison? Haha.'
Abigail could no longer endure it. She finally called Kathleen's and Stephen's attention.
"Kath… Steph…" Abigail tried to stand up. But she staggered and fell.
"Abi!"
Stephen and Kathleen called her out in unison. Stephen moved quickly to catch Abigail.
"Abi, are you okay? What's wrong?" Stephen asked her worriedly.
"Abi…" Kathleen held her hand. She was anxious. She was concerned about her friend, Abigail.
Abigail wanted to stay awake but her eyelids were becoming heavy. Something was draining her energy.
Before she fainted she saw Bam-Bam flying towards her. Bam-Bam had a serious look on his adorable face.
"Phantom, what have you done? Did you do something against Nathan? I've already warned you. You must not touch or hurt him otherwise, you will be in trouble too. Do you want to get yourself killed?" Bam-Bam appeared in front of Abigail and he was nagging and scolding her non-stop.
Abigail furrowed her eyebrow as she stared at the flying creature with a sharp look in her eyes. What was he talking about?
'I didn't do anything to Nathan. Why is he accusing me?!' Abigail was about to defend herself when she realized something.
'Nathan?! Where is Nathan? Don't tell me, something bad happened to him?'
"Let's go to the hospital!" Stephen carried Abigail in his arms and was about to leave when Abigail stopped him by pinching his shoulder tightly.
"Steph… put me down… You have to find Nathan. I think… he is in danger!" Abigail informed Stephen and requested him to search for Nathan.
"Abi. You are unwell but you are still thinking about Nathan. He is just fine. He can manage himself. For now, we have to bring you to the hospital. Nathan mentioned to me about your stomach ulcer. It might be acting out right now." Stephen refused to listen.
However, Abigail gathered her remaining strength to escape from Stephen's grasp. She struggled in his arms, forcing Stephen to put her down.
"Stephen! Find Nathan… Now! Please…" Abigail said pleadingly with her weak voice.
Seeing the serious look in her eyes and hearing the urgency in her voice, Stephen finally obeyed her. But before he left, Stephen asked Kathleen and Dr. Doreen to take care of Abigail.
Veronica also went out of the booth to find Nathan. Several minutes had passed but Nathan hadn't returned yet. What if Abigail was right? What if something happened to Nathan?
Veronica and Stephen started their search for Nathan.
"Bam-Bam, help them… find Nathan as well," Abigail whispered to Bam-Bam. She was the only person who could see him.
Bam-Bam was taken aback for a moment. He wondered if what he saw was a genuine concern from Abigail.
'Is she worried about Nathan? She sounded like one…' Bam-Bam smiled with amusement as he found it hard to believe that Abigail was worried about the devil, her mortal nemesis.
After he recovered from his shock, Bam-Bam also fled away to find Nathan. Nathan and Phantomflake were both in danger! Just when Bam-Bam left, Abigail was finally engulfed by darkness. She lost consciousness.
