Chapter 94 - Zombies (1/2)
[Marianne decided to marry that man, Hugo. She didn't know that he was the one she was waiting for so long. The day she went to the cave, how can she not know that it will be a high tide?
However, something told her that she needed to be there for him to find her. It was their fate to be together.
The tide was growing more and more and she was starting to feel foolish. What if it was all a dream? What if it was all an illusion?
The man she kept seeing every night in her dream was so different from the ones on the island. His skin, his eyes, even the strange clothes he was wearing. They seemed from another era or world. As if it were from an ancient time and not the contemporary century where they don't need horses to travel the land. There are trucks and cars.
The man was even using some kind of candle to illuminate his house, though, that thing was magical. It was a powerful candle that didn't extinguish so fast.
Marianne thought she was going crazy but at the same time, her dull and simple life on the island was taking her spirit away.
So the trip to the cave served two purposes, the start of a new life with the man that will come to rescue her, or the end of her current life. Either way, she will go away and never come back.]
”Teacher Lena,” Anne said with red eyes from insomnia. ”I want to sleep but the smell disturbs me every day,” her fingers were restless, her eyes were looking around everywhere and her mouth was dried.
She wanted so much to get in touch with the two dėsɨrės of her life. She never thought that arriving in this world would make her so addicted to those two. The fruit tart, delicious fruit tart and… her dear Henry.
”Take this,” Teacher Lena gave her a bottle with a small potion, ”it will help you to sleep for a while, you are doing well, Princess Anne, you can do this.”
Anne smiled but again, she was walking as she were a mere ghost around the hallways of the Academy. Her deranged self was scaring the fan club that always followed her.
[This is not good, our idol is fading.]
[I heard she is under intervention. She went to Miss Lena's chat group.]
[What?! That group, the one with the people that had become…]
[Oh no, I think I need some intervention too.]
[Don't be dummy, the group is exclusive, not everyone can enter.]
[Why not?]
[Miss Lena has to invite you personally]
[What do I do to get invited?]
[Eat… fruit tarts?]

That day the Academy's cafeteria was facing a difficult time. Several students were asking for a piece of fruit tart and there wasn't enough to cover the demand. So, the pieces of tart were to be divided into two and the chefs had to make more or the crazy students would start a revolt.
”10, 9, …. 3, 2, 1, RUN!”
The movement of the wooden seats and the shouts to make way started right then. The horde of zombies… *cough* students asking for a piece of fruit tart will start right then.
”Why are you even in the line, you are allergic to the cherries!”
”What?! Don't discriminate against me, I have also the right to eat fruit tarts even if I die trying!”
”You are crazy, don't get into the line!”
”Get out!”
The students were in a state of turmoil, no one was able to stop them, not even the teachers that were also battling within their own queue. However, the intensity of their fights was on a different level.
”Get out here, you morons!”
