Svetlana continued to skip school and just stay in the hut they built in the forest. She didn't want to go to school. Everybody hated her and it hurt her feelings. Out of all the places she'd seeked out,no one had ever been this mean and cruel to her. Se knew what they said could've been worse, but Svetlana was an extremely sensitive person. She thought no one would stick up for her. However, she didn' know about Geoff. How he stuck up for her and always told people to be nice when they talked about her rudely. Abe, Veronica, and KellyAnne were walking with him. They asked him why he always stuck up for her. He said she needed friends. Veronica explained how she tried and Renee tried but Svetlana almost got them...Well, they didn't know what happened to them when they got vanquished. Veronica didn't like talking about it. Everyone felt like no one was safe, and anyone could go at any time. Abe was the only person who felt laid back and didn't worry about being the next victim. As he quietly wondered if that him thinking he was safe would give him bad luck. Just then, something dark was about to attack Veronica. Abe pushed her out of the way and the darkness encompassed him and dragged a paralyzed Abe into the portal that disappearedd promptly. Geoff was disgusted, KellyAnne was in tears, and Veronica was just happy it wasn't her. She wasn't gonna be absorbed by this thing. Ever!
