Startled, Andrew simply nodded and accelerated without asking any questions.
Heat coursed through my body, turning my face and skin a fiery red, and I struggled for breath.
While driving, Andrew glanced over at me occasionally, concern etching his features.
Suddenly, he asked, Debra, your face is so red! Are you running a fever? We should get you to a hospital!
He was ready to turn the car around, but I shook my head firmly and insisted, No, please dont take me to the hospital. I need to see Caleb!
As I spoke, my consciousness began to fade.
Ivys presence within me grew increasingly agitated, my nails digging painfully into my own flesh, the sharp pain barely keeping me conscious. I felt my control over Ivy slipping away.
In my mind, I desperately called out to Caleb, and with the last shred of my awareness, I managed to pull out my phone and called him.
Caleb answered the call promptly, his tone revealing his irritation.

Peering through the window at the building outside, I informed Caleb of my location. Andrews driving me back now. Ill be downstairs shortly. Wait for me there.
There was a brief pause before Caleb replied, Okay, Ill head downstairs now.
Just as I was about to end the call, Calebs voice came through urgently. Dont hang up!
Confused, I lingered on the line, barely responding as Caleb continued to speak.
Suddenly, Ivys behavior escalated into violence, draining my strength rapidly.
I attempted to retrieve my fallen phone, but my body refused to cooperate, sapped of all energy.
Something felt off. Glancing out the window, I realized the scenery hadnt changed. The car hadnt moved an inch.
Panic surged as I understood Andrew had stopped the car.
My mind raced. I had urged him to drive faster earlier.
I wanted to ask him why he stopped the car, but darkness enveloped me before I could utter a word.
Andrews POV:
As I inquired about Debras carsickness, I sensed that something was amiss with her; it seemed she might have been drugged.
My initial instinct was to rush her to the hospital. I suggested as much, but she declined, insisting that she needed to see Caleb.
Caleb? Always Caleb!
