"What did you do to me?" Conrad hissed, nails digging into Venice's arm as he wretched it away.

Venice flinched, stumbling away with the empty syringe still in her hand. She immediately withdrew once she knew it was done, stepping back and tossing the thing to the side.

"I'm sorry, Conrad, I just-"

She flinched as Conrad bristled in anger. "Sorry!? What was in that thing!?" He demanded, clenching his fist and pointing accusingly at her.

The girl's hands were shaking. "I was just- it was nothing, you'll be fine." She promised, shutting her eyes tightly.

Conrad could feel nausea rising in his body, his head beginning to spin. "You little- what was in it!?" He made a grab for her throat. Venice yelped and stepped to the side, making him slam into the table.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry-" Venice pleaded. "You'll be okay, I swear! You're okay, you'll be okay!" She kept repeating, like that would calm Conrad down.

He grasped the table, but he felt his grip slipping. Suddenly, his whole body seized up and his legs gave out. He fell against the table and hit the floor. His vision doubled, eyes becoming watery as he stared up at the ceiling.

Venice hesitated next to him, stepping closer to her friend.

"You cannibalistic, sadistic, bitch..." Conrad gurgled, black spots filling his vision. "Killing me, huh...? So you can eat me? Huh?"

He passed out like that.

Venice looked up, spotting Sarah watching calmly. "You could've told him it was just a sedative..." Her voice broke.

Sarah tilted her head. "You couldn't have?"

"I was just trying to help... I didn't know what to do..."
